Yes, but on average what is the minimum percentage of support needed for an authoritarian regime to remain in power? 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%? Currently, less than 30% of Americans seem to support MAGA. Will that be enough to break this tyrannical trend?

She’s a grifter. If “Trump and Co.” were to give her another opportunity at MAGA today, she would gladly accept it without hesitation.

There was no change of heart in MTG, the boss fired her.

Even setting aside the moral aspect, this is also bad from a purely strategic point of view, considering that Ukraine has been struggling to get enough fighters and therefore cannot afford to let the remaining soldiers starve to death.

Trump would feel right at home then.

This won’t solve anything, it will only create a black market and the vape industry will gain new customers.

The UK is on a wave of embracing ideas that have already proven to be failures at other places and other times, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they instituted Prohibition.

But if he proclaimed the opposite, it would be worse.

Dr. Evil before he lost his hair.

Perhaps we shouldn’t send politicians burned by domestic corruption scandals to Brussels. 🤔

No one should fail upwards.

Because slavery is more profitable.

And the new internet that is on the horizon will be the definitive establishment of these same billionaires as feudal lords.

These types, in general, don’t really care about their own children.

Not even at Easter do MAGA abstain from the White House special flour.

With something like a physical gift card.

Go to a store or kiosk, show them your ID card or driver’s license, and they’ll give you a card randomly chosen from the shelf with a code to activate the +18 version of any social network of your choice.

Each code could only be used once. People would have to buy more, at a symbolic cost, for each social network they wished to activate.

I would tend to be against this in the same way, but at least it would be something I could understand where the objective is actually what is being presented (protecting the children), albeit misguided, because to me it is clear that what is currently being promoted and proposed has nothing to do with age verification, but rather with mass surveillance, marketing and censorship.

It seems that our politicians are paving the way for dictatorship with these mass surveillance initiatives.

A social credit system would be the next step after online ID verification and ChatControl come into effect, and then our generous Lords would sleep more soundly knowing they were safe. Poor things, currently suffering from an insomnia that can only be consequence of the injustices they must be dreaming to commit.

Greetings from Portugal.

So nothing would be sent to Rio de Janeiro because the infrastructure there was built through slavery, and the same could be said for Luanda.

I am Portuguese. My grandparents and the majority of the Portuguese population didn’t even have basic sanitation or education in the 1970s, despite the fact that our country’s elite were among the greatest, if not the biggest, traffickers in the transatlantic slave trade. The electricity grid only reached their neighborhood in the 80s, more than a decade after the Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974. Perhaps, our family should receive reparations.

The elite should pay, and the exploited working class must not allow itself to be divided due to petty things like their country of origin. Engaging in any other way is simply falling into yet another “trap” of the universal rent-seeking exploiters, the bourgeoisie. In short, “não se confunda a árvore com a floresta”.

It shouldn’t be the average taxpayer in these countries who has to pay for reparations (especially when many were descendants of peasants who were also often exploited in other ways), while the wealthy families who benefited the most evade responsibility, smuggling their blood-earned fortunes to tax havens.

Our politicians have been bought by him.

They won’t need to vote anymore.

And Persona (it’s from the same guy).

The common people should just send all these lunatics to Mars.
