My dads BOTH work at Mojang They’re gonna Ban your server! … So you want your Whole server BANNED??

that was the motto in early 2025 when the ICE raids started. It’s too late for that. I think the best bet, now, is for the USA to implode. I’d rather we try to mitigate the harm of their military, abroad; and usher in the refugees.

I agree with your sentiment. None of these governments are pleasant to live in; nor made up of good people. I would prefer not to live under the USA, China, or Nazi Germany.

The thing about China’s CCP is that, while they have no regard for human rights, their actions are still rooted in reality. So, yes, they will storm your protest with armed agents; they will also build efficient public transport and invest in healthcare for their citizens.

The USA federal government long held the motto of indifference. They enforced little, and imposed little. Atrocities still occurred, of course (Slavery, Native genocide, anti-immigrant sentiment); but many of those atrocities were at the state level, and all were supported by the (recognized white male) people.

The War on Crime and its War on Drugs was where the USA went completely off the rails into “smash and crash” territory; wielding the power of the state with no consideration of the impact. Now you have federal agents breaking into peoples homes; while still glorifying the idea of “small government” and being a “self-starter”.

The people of USAmerica know their government only as something to fear, and not as a bedrock to rely on; and this mentality of violence and conflict extends to all aspects of life. This is the sentiment that empowers Reaganomics, fear of single-payer healthcare, the anti-vaxx and MAHA movements, etc. This is also why so many folks are “opting out”; contributing to declining birth rates, antisocial radicals, etc.

There is no trust, nor should there be. Living in the USA means trying to survive in spite of the systems around you; and not within them; regardless of who you are. There is no “staying in line”. Even outspoken MAGA cheerleaders are getting fucked. There is only the targeted, and yet-to-be targeted. This is America.

I recommend anyone who hasn’t to read the posts of some anti-psychiatry and disability rights activists on, say, Tumblr (if they can stomach it). The USA has always been inhumane to folks with disabilities. There was significant abuse well before the re-election of Trump.

thank you Chucky Schumer for your strong words o7 o7 -_-=≤

“Should we spend hundreds of millions of dollars on operations to kill civilians of color—primarily children—in foreign nations?”

This is wonderful to hear! May this start a chain reaction hitting every one of these “troubled teen” concentration camps.

I recall hearing of a metaphor under the name “Tea Consent”. The idea is that consent for sex is much like asking for a cup of tea. Even if I ask you, repeatedly, for that cup of tea: You can not force me to drink it.

Now you might get annoyed if someone repeatedly asks for tea and then declines it when it’s ready. That’s an acceptable feeling, and you may very well choose not to continue obliging that person as a companion, or at least not as one who you make tea. However, if you choose to get the tea ready, and that person again changes their mind, you still can’t force them to drink it.

“restoring gun rights to some people with mental illness” is good actually. We should never tolerate the “othering” of folks by the state; especially when that state is the USA.

Yeah these charges are just going to make her a martyr to the anti-vaxxers. I do feel uneasy seeing any mom charged for the death of her own baby/toddler without clear evidence; seeing all the charges for murders for miscarriages, and cases like “Dingo ate my Baby”. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is a real thing; and all too often mothers face criminal scrutiny just for being the caretaker of a baby/toddler that passes.
We’ll have to see what the state’s proof is for the foul play.

Jester haunted a townie night 2, the Werewolf got our doctor, and three folks claimed Town Killing. Yes the Vigi shot the Jailor but they HAD to make a play. TPows fault for not leading.

oh I totally agree. Also allowing people to be abducted and disappeared is immoral; and without cause is unbearable. These laws obviously never should have been passed.

Adding onto the “preventing people from voting” thing… y’know in the USA anyone can be arrested for up to 72 hours under “Involuntary Psychiatric Holds”, without any standard of probable cause. You have no trial, no recourse and there is not even a bench trial (generally cops have to bring you in front of a judge within 24 hours of being arrested).

I’m not saying that will happen, but it’s a possibility we should keep in mind. These laws exist at the state/local level from what I understand, so it’s something we could have reversed before that election. If anyone has ideas on how to do that, now would be a good time to get that momentum going before November.

Calling it an accident just lays the carpet for the Department of WAR to request more money for “training” and “better equipment” (to kill more civilians including children).

I don’t want the US government to have better tools for killing people in the Middle East. I want the US government to stop killing people in the Middle East. We gain nothing by taking them at their word.

Keep in mind that this was declared an Iranian attack by the USA before the USA labeled in an “accident”. Push harder and they’ll probably use Israeli’s argument about “human shields” to blame Iran again.

Don’t buy the “accident” cover-up. What about the USA/Israeli treatment of Muslim-majority Middle East countries makes anyone think the USA/Israel wouldn’t want to blow up an elementary school and kill 120 kids? Is the ongoing murder of Palestinian civilians including children also a series of accidents? And what about the orphanage?

Opting into their preferred language only creates a semblance of doubt that the USA will use to move past this murder so their “disjointed” systems can blow up another group of civilians.
