You just have to knock enough of it down so it all burns. In a world with cellphones, getting stop orders out immediately should be expected.

I’m reminded of the early US park service and conservation efforts. The government was trying to save old growth forests and the logging companies were setting up land sales and then clear cutting it before the ink dried. Basically moving faster than communications and travel in that time.

Meh. The Kim’s are smart enough not to actually pop off anything big. The Chinese will do everything they can to make sure NK stays in its lane. Nobody else cares enough about NK to start anything were this stuff is needed.

That was just fashionably racist. Most of the pillars of Ur-fascism weren’t in the political culture back then and some of them didn’t even exist. Personally, Napoleons France is probably the oldest proto-fascist entity.

About ten years ago if you were educated and attentive.

I’d like to go back to having a president where that wasn’t a talking point. I would make an exception for an untimely wheelchair.

Well, there used to be a thing called a phone book. However certain people such as politicians and celebrities would have their private numbers unlisted and it would have been considered very improper to dox them.

Here I was thinking it was just a pile of cash and a few flattering words. Using a neofascists sycophantic LLM is both dumber and more convoluted.

Weimar Republic had seven year terms and no limit. These guys were too incompetent and wasted their first term and can’t balance breaking everything vs making too many voters mad before this last midterms. They basically have a month left to do or die before people get elected who will hold them accountable prevent them from running completely rampant.

The scientists mostly weren’t the problem. It was all the guys they recruited to start the CIA and FBI, etc that did the real damage. And the Argentina thing wasn’t a myth.

It’s not. The people with the authority to do anything about it either won’t or can’t. You’re First Amendment rights are worth 2¢ in a trillion dollar economy. While the 2A was supposedly written to be the follow-up, it has basically the same effect.

From what I’ve heard and kind of seen, gambling is worse. In a big discussion, all the people who had been in a relationship with a gambling addict were saying to throw them out full stop. Dealing with meth heads, etc was easier.

US is going to be the new Argentina. All the genocidal nationalist leaders and their supporters are going to move here after they get called out in their own countries.

Religious exemptions are always popular with people who write these kinds of laws.

It seems, by itself, people within the target group need to have an opposite sex alibi. In practice, and if anyone can find out what the law says exactly, it’s probably targeting people over a certain age who are not married with kids.

Not sure the Russians can spare the potatoes. They will probably take the North Korean approach and start throwing poo.
