National Assembly says “We oppose trying to turn the country into an outright dictatorship, that was bad… but we’re not going to punish you for it.”

He’ll do it again when he’s more prepared. Trump team is taking notes too.

Who [Is Killing] The Electric Car

Missed opportunity to say “the only country more felonious than the USA”.

I’ve started to realize that temporary tab containers do almost everything that I used to use incognito mode for, and more.

If you harbor 5 fugitives, you have something to fear from the government. If you harbor 500 fugitives, the government has something to fear from you.

What I’m saying is, when the time comes, I hope you’ll have way more than 2 cows.

Any way you put it, things are going to get crazy. That’s why I’m getting that feeling.

I’m not saying we are or will be vanquished. I am saying that the balance of guns and land is not in our favor (although the balance of distribution infrastructure is slightly in favor of the libs).

Liberals will largely stand by if fascism takes over, especially in this country. One of the best hopes we have is that the military would crack down on a coup, and the balance of representation in the military is very much not in our favor. The other best hope is balkanization or at least devolution, where state and local governments become more relevant than the federal government and this allows us to thrive in pockets.

I believe in a subset of people. But that subset of people is not enough to prevent things from getting very ugly.

I expect we’ll have something to eclipse 2020. But I also expect there’s going to be a very strong reactionary backlash waiting in the wings again. I’m hoping to secure more viable refuges by that point.

That’s because they largely bought out most of the places that were better to work at.

After reading this, why am I getting a feeling in my stomach that reminds me of being on a roller coaster right before a big drop? Why do I feel like all of America is going to be like that very soon?

It’s also the motto and feature of the logo of Harvard University, and many other things.

Project Veritas, if it’s still operational after being sued so much, is an operational hub for chuds, which we luckily don’t see that many of on lemmy.

Russia after Yeltsin

Russia during Yeltsin rolled in the tanks on its own parliament. The absence of foreign invasions was not for lack of malice, but for lack of capability.

The reason why ex-Warsaw Pact countries are flocking to NATO is because when the communists left power, the reactionaries resurged. And naturally the reactionaries in power wanted to be part of a right-wing alliance. But no matter what revanchists might tell you, living standards across Eastern Europe were better in the 1980s than they were in the 2000s.

since joining the EU

I hope you understand how this is an incredibly cherry-picked range. It’s like saying “look how steadily the American economy grew from the period of 1930 to 1940”.

Many Eastern European countries in the EU are still being hollowed out and suffering massive brain drain. The model of “tributary state” accurately applies here.

It may be hard to fathom for someone who’s so used to Reddit, but Hexbear users really do have a deep love for each other. Also we are really really ridiculously online.

This is kind of analogous to the “CCP is falsifying all of its own data” allegation. You can cling to some sort of dogmatic narrative like Hexbear inflating its stats à la r/the_donald, that’s exceedingly difficult to prove or draw anything conclusive from, or you can take a close look at it and see the reality that lines up with the stats.
