Not only are they in the process of openly subverting the Constitution of the United States, they are openly calling for violence. When declared powerful adversaries call for violence publicly, every option is on the table. Collective self defense may be necessary, and they may yet regret it.

The United States Supreme Court is corrupt and illegitimate.

"The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. **He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter)." **

Of course he will; they coordinated this together. Now I'm not claiming I have proof of this, but tell me this doesn't smell 97% probable.

It's region blocked EVERYWHERE near as I can tell. France, Egypt, Hong Kong, Ghana. I know youtube is just one video platform. But the power and reach that NBC universal has is goddamned disturbing.

I actually work with some folks from St. Vincent. Saw some video of the crash and the rescue attempt. Was told there was engine trouble right after take off, and there was some catastrophic failure after the pilot turned back to land. The plane seemed to go down into the water very suddenly, and hard. Apparently this guy had been flying folks around the islands for a long time. Really fuckin tragic, honestly.

You're not supposed to tell us you're playing both sides!

It's hard to riot when it's not right in your backyard, and you're not networked/less social, propaganda that encourages indifference or ignorance. America has a seriously systemic social problem. You're definitely right, though.

You mean a Dodge Ram?

Didn't know they were having an Eve Online event.

Indeed.

Hah! I understood both of those references.

Hah sorry, former redditor here, posting on title alone. That is truly wild but also makes perfect sense.

Kill all the humans. (That is a Futurama reference)

Gamblor? Is that you?

In a better world, what she did would be a crime. Shit, it might be one in this world. Just not one that will be prosecuted.

It was a Simpson's reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xop8QLIJCpY

I should have known I'd be downvoted for that. Was just hoping folks would figure out that I was decrying lobbying but I guess I gotta explain myself better.

But yea, legitimate democracy is kind of a pipe dream outside of ancient Greece. I'd say people in the United States live under a crony-capitalist dominated representative republic. I wish we lived under a socialist-capitalist representative republic with short term limits and built in incentives for education and voter participation. We can all have our dream.

If only average citizens could match AIPAC donations. "I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xop8QLIJCpY
