So is there any evidence of that insane claim, or…?

What’s Cloudflare’s shit reputation? I thought they were the go-to service to prevent DDOSing.

I think the point is for you to meditate on that fact.

In other words: “You showing sadness or despair is making me feel bad so I demand you to stop. My feelings and convenience is more important than yours. I am totally not a narcissist”

I just now realized I was justifying a 196 meme with a serious response. I need to go touch grass

Okay, let me spell this out like you are a four year old then:

The claim is that the government has the power to stop abuse en masse and improve life for everyone, but doesn’t, because they benefit from it.

The NSA program (which has been well-known for over a decade) is an example of that.

I represented their arguments exactly as they were laid out and stipulated my position accurately.

LMFAO no you’re not; you’re going off on a completely different tangent about the system as a whole instead of addressing my main claim, specifically how domestic abuse is allowed in order to maintain it, and you’re doing it because you perceive any negative talk against the system as an existential threat to it.

You only address a claim literally everyone else on Lemmy makes: that corporations actively exploit and abuse their workers, and you label it as conspiracy shit.

And you do it because I’m right and you know it, people are realizing it, and that inconveniences and threatens you.

You are exactly the kind of motherfucker who keeps the slave racket going. Because fuck them kids. Fuck them abuse victims. You ordered your Big Mac five minutes ago and you want it NOW

This is just life in the slave racket. Abuse victims are denigrated, subjugated, and treated as the real threat to their community and not the abuser. They are treated like that because the society NEEDS most of its people to be abused and to tolerate it so they can be exploited throughout their lives without challenging their exploiters, or even worse, tearing down the system that benefits the oppressors.

Abuse victims who actively rebel or who try to help other victims jeopardize the system’s access to slaves, you see. So they have their spirits driven completely into the ground to stop others rising up against them.

Why do you think things like rape or domestic abuse are seldom punished? Or even murder to an extent? Especially since the government has had access to mass surveillance for over a decade and thus has the power to end such crimes completely?

The powers that be WANT this and NEED it for their system to survive.

That is the slave racket.

People have said so much insane shit over the years that it is genuinely becoming harder and harder to tell what is being said sarcastically and what is not

Low wisdom simply because they’re part of a club? 🤔

Sounds like you all are the ones who lack wisdom

They don’t actually produce the bottles. They buy them from another manufacturer and just fill them with water.

You’re mostly paying for the cost of the bottle plus artificial markups for your water. A Brita filter for tap water is much more cost effective for the consumer assuming their tap water is safe.

To the bold go the spoils of impending civil war

Everyone starts growing veggies and fruit, and only buying direct from farmers.

Start being an actual adult and start making your own shit.

The only way to free yourself from the slave racket is to stop being dependent on it to survive.

Easy mode: Learn how to cook, and cook clean whole foods. Stop buying processed junk garbage.

Hard mode: Get tools and equipment and learn how to build and fix your own shit. Difficult and will take time, but 100% worthwhile.

Both methods allow you to produce goods and offer services you can sell to other people, too. That way, those that actually can’t make or do for themselves can turn to you and not shitty corporations for survival.

The real answer if you actually bother to ask right wingers is that they genuinely feel disgusted and repulsed at trans/NB people, and they’re only acting on their emotions.

You all are way overthinking the problem

It’s good they were wrong and the covid dictatorial bullshit fell out of vogue, though.

If you cared, why wouldn’t you go out and force them to change instead of arguing on the Internet with an elephant?

The only way I as a pink drunken elephant could do anything about it is if I butchered millions of people in a brutal civil war to shut down the entire jail system and violently overthrow the U.S. government. Is that what you want, or are you demanding I instead submit to your opinion and advocate your perspective and feelings on the matter like some pink drunken robot? As if you ranting on the internet about it has done anything to change the system or save any lives?

Grow the fuck up. My opinion on the matter will not change and your mental gymnastics won’t change the fact that death really is better than prison in the U.S.

This is gonna sound fucked up, but him being murdered by the state was much more of a mercy than being raped, tortured and enslaved behind bars for the entirety of his natural life because of concern he may have been innocent.

Like people dismiss the state taking away large chunks of people’s lives because of the “at least they’re alive” argument, but you can use that to justify rape and abuse and all sorts of things that are very clearly worse than death.

If I was in his shoes, I’d have demanded expedited execution and so would all of you, if you knew truly what goes on behind bars.

They’re just getting defensive because someone dared to criticize the U.S., that’s all.

Honestly, the one thing people should be disputing about post-apocalypse games is why it is people would even be scraping by to survive in the first place. We’re social animals and would band together out of necessity, and knowledge and high technology wouldn’t simply go away simply because half the population turned into zombies and started eating everybody else.

Just hike to the nearest town or something. Read a book. Build a cistern and some aqueducts or something. People have literally been doing just that for thousands of years so why would it be hard for people to do it in modern times?

No it isn’t. Some white dude invented it in the 1950’s based off of old European practices. It’s just their people passing on their pre-Christian culture, that’s all.

It’s no more a real religion than the Abrahamic ones.
