ICE are NOT service members. They are civilians.

Some people will argue that they are federal law enforcement, but the fact that they regularly disregard the laws proves that to be false.

Better idea, let them in and arrest them for terrorism.

Imagine the USA getting kicked out of the Olympics.

Not even the fucking Nazis got kicked out of the Olympics.

The last dude in this thread to say basically the same thing at least had to balls to name other options and all they could come up with was the Anti-NATO party for one and the party which is literally just Corbynn and his buddy Sultana (1 seat) for the other.

Simulation Theory is that we all live in a simulation.

The above article just says each person simulates their own internal model of the world around them.

That headline is cringe to it’s core, but that aside, who would possibly be an opponent of this concept? I thought it was just universally understood that our individual senses can lie to us and that collective reality with repeatable experimentation is our only source for basis in fact.

FFS as a species we’ve been recording this same conversation towards this same conclusion for thousands of years.

Nobody discovered fuck all with this assertion.

EDIT: I shouldn’t have come on this strong, my apologies, it’s perfectly fine to study and reiterate this work and it’s good that they’re tying it to modern historic examples.

The UK Green Party of England and Wales? Currently they have 4 commons and 2 lords. They at least had the sensibility to ask Jill Stein to stand down, but they also endorse leaving NATO which is really fucking stupid.

Your Party 2025 is just a joke honestly, I’m surprised they got more seats than Lord Buckethead.

I don’t think Russia has ever not killed civilians in other countries, for like its entire existence.

There were some US dupes who fell for the same shtick at one point as well.

The broadcasts’ content on PBS are still privately owned. The part that is publicly funded is the broadcasting of the content.

For example, Bob Ross video recordings are owned by Bob Ross Inc which has been fought over for decades. That one is a messy example, but it applies to every other media as well.

It actually doesn’t do that. AI cameras such as flock cams have a history of misidentification, even framing unrelated third parties.

This is less Orwell and more Idiocracy.

Yeah idk why the cutoffs are so short on some instances. Personally I think the feed would look fine with 5 lines of headline text on a post.

Still, emphasis on the word almost. The key here is to swap out Labour candidates, not lose to reform next election.

Yeah because government run media is such a great idea. /SARCASM

It was always a rightwing propoganda machine, it helped Trumo get elected.

Now its 50% Blue Fascist in addition to the Red Fascist.

I don’t feel old.

I just feel correct and justified in never installing a foreign weapon which exposes every contact, photo, nearby device, and message to an evil dictatorship that wants us all dead in a fire (up to 2 dictatorships now).

1. Good

2. It was the same brand of red fascism before and after. Algorithm and databases still in Beijing, a few days ago the backup on Oracle went online.

I’m sure it takes a village, but Xi is an elite autocrat. There is no shadow government picking him, he is the one who picks.

A fun mental exercise is, as a scifi hypothetical, if the Chinese found a way to make video playback force the watcher to kill their friends and family, they totally would.

I struggle to see it. It’s the same group of people that allowed Xi Jinping to become president for life in the first place. They’ve all been reaping the rewards of recent conquests, and even though they’ve continued the trend of cruelty this time they haven’t lost any global market shares.

The only thing that could convince me that his rule is actually at risk is a boatload of evidence that somebody in the party had adequate ability and desire to completely replace him OR internal documents showing that officials were afraid of the administration heavily pushing toward WWIII with their support of Russia and Iran as well as their psyops throughout the west, namely TikTok.
