CIA doesn’t even need to get involved. Just a “terrorist” accusation and arrest them.

AOC won by a bigger margin in the general than in the primary.

Poor people be voting for the conservative while higher income people be voting for the socialist. This is so ironic…

It’s 1933 and hitler is gonna take over the world and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. nazis are gonna win, might as well give up. They can never be defeated

“Submit, peasant. Resistance is futile!”

There are still countries even worse than the US.

And I think you’re underestimating the strength of an immigrant’s will to take risks to attempt to find a better life. Immigrants have suffered far worse throught US History.

I mean, just take a look at Wong Kim Ark. Dude didn’t just give up and leave, he stood his ground and fought though it, even though he had no idea if the US would even consider his case seriously.

And many people already have relatives in the US. So these are the risks they are willing to take to reunite. Unlike many westerners, who just completely give up on the slightest obstacles.

(Although I do think the much better option now is the EU, if they don’t have any relatives in the US already.)

Tbf, banning a symbol in a government building is not the same as cops arresting you for using a bathroom. Its nowhere even close.

Politicians choose the qualifications to be a cop (via passing laws). So if the cops are terrible, perhaps that’s the politician’s fault.

noun. [UK] - a member of a government or law-making organization

noun. [US] - a person who is active in politics, esp. as a job

School board and HOAs doesn’t really count, otherwise a militia patrolling their neighborhood would also count as a “cop”.

McCullagh eventually admitted to authorities that the live stream was not recorded on the night of McNally’s death. McCullagh also allegedly left his phone in McNally’s house after her murder.

Dude got scared in the interrogation and fessed up. Lmfao, if you can’t withstand being berated in a police interrogation, maybe don’t do a murder. Also, leaving your phone in a crime scene is like the nail in the coffin.

Pre-record the live stream, brb chat, gonna do an assassination. /s

Its more like defence against misremembering/misidentifying rather than outright lying. If a witness intends to lie, then like the video portion doesn’t really matter, because neither could be trusted in that case.

Soon it might actually become the lesser evil, considering the possibility of deepfakes.

Evidence trustworthiness would be like (from least to most trustworthy):

• Photo/Audio Evidence
• Video Evidence
• Eyewitness testimony
• Eyewitness testimony + the witness was also also recording it at the time

EU countries aren’t exactly fond of, say, anti israel protests, because they always conflate anti-zionism with anti-semiticism.

Step 1. Announce your infidelity in a leftist forum
Step 2. Get downvoted
Step 3. “Why are ALL Leftists so intolerable?”

I wonder how times have changed. I know someone who immigrated to the US around 2010s, they had no social media, most of their country didn’t really have internet yet. They were let in just fine and have since became a US citizen.

So is 2010s have no expectation of having social media, but now its an expectation?

Make a fake one that posts like… idk post random tech stuff that you could be reasonably interested in. Make nothing critical of authority. As a decoy profile.

Then you can rant about big brother on an anonymous Lemmy Account over TOR.

I don’t think that matters.

It doesn’t matter if you are trying to overthrow, say a US Adversary like Russia or China, its still counts. I guess the logic is: If you are willing to use violence in [Insert Country Here], how do we know you wont try it here?

A lot of the initial supporters of a revolution/coup gets purged so they don’t become a threat to the new authority themselves. Like hitler and the S.A. for example.

MAGAt supporters are just useful idiots, if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat that needs to be purged.
