lol will they try to pass legislation against this one too? 🤡

El Salvador apparently invested about $270 million in bitcoin since 2021 and that investment is worth about half a million bucks now. Oh my god, ha, what idiots!

… Okay just to clarify, you’re saying they invested $270,000,000 and now it’s worth about $500,000?

Is there a typo in your comment or something?

The Supreme Court ruled that any Official Act done by the President is Constitutional.

Surely you can think of some pretty cool stuff this enables?

What even is that top?

Pretty sure there already is one and it’s called BRICS.

Been vegan for going on five years and I’ve never experienced this tbh

But he could just lie, say that people are violent, and then respond violently to the lie he made up.

I guess he could be trying to provoke mass unrest so he can declare a national emergency and start shooting people.

But I’m pretty sure he could declare a national emergency and start shooting people whenever he wants, no need to actually create mass unrest. Just declare that there’s mass unrest, who cares if it’s real?

This started happening after 2016 too - Trump immediately tanked his public approval by doing wacky shit that pissed everyone off and Democrats would massively over-perform in special elections as a result. Trump’s supporters don’t show up to special elections.

you can enforce your data rights in rule of law countries

😂

China is not illegally busting down US residents’ doors and killing them lol

Yeah no shit, this has been floated since October 2023 by Israel and the US, but Egypt and Jordan have always rejected it. They can’t take in that many refugees even if they wanted to collaborate with the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Okay but now we aren’t really talking about privacy anymore, are we? We’re talking about the monopolization of social media by a few corporations as we’re siloed into platforms. Bad, for sure, but a different problem.

The election interference is coming from inside the house and privacy is only tangentially related to a larger problem.

I’ll continue to be more worried that my DMs will be used to put me in prison.

Okay, but they can’t literally bust down my door and kill me.

Well, only one of those governments can actually do anything to me. Hint: it’s the one I live under

Yeah dawg they’re the same thing.

So they can force me to drive as fast as they want? I don’t think that’s how law works…?

Ask the natives that were rounded up into camps how non-authoritarian the US was. The Nazis were inspired by the US.

We’re a highly reformed white supremacist settler-colonial project, we’ve come a long way from our horrible Founders.

I can admit they were historically progressive in the same way that capitalism was historical progress from feudalism, but I’m not going to venerate them and act like they wouldn’t approve of the modern far right.

If they were alive today they’d be extremely right wing.

Our system of government was based on the assumption that only white property owning men know how to govern. The truth is, they’re as dogshit stupid as the rest of us. The Founding fathers didn’t believe in bathing! They day drank because low% beer was safer to drink than water! They thought disease was caused by bad smells instead of not washing your hands!

This country was founded by morons. Stop venerating them like a reactionary.
