Ways of Seeing is a 1972 television series of (four) 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb.
Basically a jury can legally decide to nullify by declaring “not guilty” regardless of the facts or the judge’s instructions, etc. This is why even mentioning jury nullification during a trial can really upset the judge and the prosecution. It is supposed to be something every jury is aware of, but that is usually not actually the case.
Jury Nullification is like the secret code of the US justice system.That’s why most of the people that work for the system absolutely despised the whole idea.
The technical term often used is “recuperation”. Any innovation in radical evolution of culture is seen as a threat to the status quo, so recuperation comes in to co-opt the radical impulse and funnel it back into the status quo in a manner that is not destabilizing to exist structural power.
The classic example is media piracy like napster, bit-torrent, etc being co-opted into streaming services, itunes, etc. Service the desire that animated the radical impulse while reinforcing the existing power structures, foreclosing the potential threat. Enshittification often follows shortly after the enclosure has been successful.
Quorum sensing is an important factor in processes of quantitative change reaching a point where qualitative change is possible. This is just how social dynamics work. You’re welcome to encourage more people to join the push for a general strike or other local organizing groups and parties, but a mass of people will be necessary to bring about qualitative changes.
We need a general strike to start. It has to be big enough that is disrupts the ongoing social order, then revolution. Unfortunately many people are appeased by their treats and unwilling to commit to opposing the status quo in any effective way.

“The Nonsense of MAGA Communism”
Liberals getting deluded into thinking MLs and MAGA Communism are the same thing shows how much they desire for “horseshoe theory” nonsense. It really just proves how right-wing liberals are in their lack of any materialist analysis of geopolitics.
I carry a pocket knife mostly for functional purposes, but it also can be used defensively if required. A locking blade mechanism is definitely important. I guess a box cutter could work too.
sounds like you admitting to being a zionist to me
The incumbent got $650,000 from AIPAC, and you think the winning opponent “is a fucking nutcase”. Very interesting.
the figure also includes an additional estimate of 383,000 Uyghur children sent to boarding schools from 2017 to 2019, as calculated by Adrian Zenz [a scholar and Senior Fellow and Director in China studies at the US-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation[footnote 40]]
LMAO 13 matches for Zenz. It’s like you don’t even read what you are posting.
Funny how you pretend to care about the USA and Israel committing war crimes nonstop. But the brave USA and NATO surely do care so much about the persecuted Muslims in China for some strange reason. It’s almost like paying some Christian nutter to “write reports” about the “cultural genocide” is maybe not on the up and up perhaps. And almost every news article or UN/HRW report is sourcing their data from this right-wing fascist pushing an agenda because he has to uphold the white man’s burden of caring for the Muslims in evil Chyna.
After Palestinian ambassador to China Fariz Mehdawi [ar] visited Xinjiang in March 2021, he remarked on Chinese state media that he was impressed by the region’s infrastructure and upkeep of mosques,[166] saying “if you have to calculate it all, it’s something like 2,000 inhabitants for one mosque. This ratio, we don’t have it in our country. It’s not available anywhere.”[167]

Checking the sources on a wikipedia page is actually gish gallop. LMAO
Actually checking sources is Gish gallop. LMAO
Not one gram of logical understanding.
You are the only one mentioning Russia on a thread about Democratic incumbents losing due to zionism. Your rhetorical ability is like agent orange to any rational thought.
Not one gram of logical understanding. All those sources are clearly ideological, but you seem to prefer that over any actual proof.
Your rhetorical ability is a hate crime.
It’s a great mechanism for “peer review” especially in the sense that ethics and legality are often entirely different things.
