You might feel happy about this in your far left wonderland. But in the real world, the consequence of stuff like this spreading will be that CEOs will acquire better security, nobody will ever be able to even glance at them without getting tasered and you the consumer are going to pay for all of it.

Changing the social security system into a centralized one might work, but note that scandinavia (the place that has championed such systems) is having pretty big problems with their health care systems as well.

Perhaps IT work has tarnished my political mind as well, but I tend to think more and more that it’s not about the ideology, but about the implementation that matters.

Professor: Good news, everyone!

The enemy of my enemy is not as bad an enemy as the other enemy.

Well all joking aside, he committed first degree murder so yeah. He should be prosecuted and sentenced to prison for several decades.

This should not be a difficult stance to make, and if you’re having trouble reaching this conclusion, you need to take a very hard look in the mirror and get off the internet.

I see how it might be difficult to notice the difference. Perhaps read both the title of the post and headline one more time, this time taking the time to check each word?

The difference is subtle, but it transforms the whole sentiment.

Because only assholes and incompetent people become communists.

Title does not match headline in a significant way. Reported.

CEOs of security companies are popping champagne bottles.

Something tells me that this might have not been a random incident.

When games work so well on Linux these days, it seems to me that there is absolutely no reason for Windows to exist anymore. Why does anyone use it?

What do you mean by the presidential pardon thing that Trump invented?

“On July 1, 2024, the Court ruled in a 6–3 decision that presidents have absolute immunity for acts committed as president within their core constitutional purview, at least presumptive immunity for official acts within the outer perimeter of their official responsibility, and no immunity for unofficial acts”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States_(2024)#%3A~%3Atext=On+July+1%2C+2024%2C+the%2Cno+immunity+for+unofficial+acts.

You should also note how apparently all criminal cases against Trump were dropped when it became clear that he’s the next president, for instance https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/11/26/how-all-of-trumps-criminal-cases-fell-apart-as-jack-smith-drops-federal-charges/

I seriously think he should do a LOT of other shitty things Trump set the precedent for. Like perhaps seriously abuse that presidential pardon thing that Trump invented.

Like, I don’t know, I’m just brainstorming here, perhaps order the assassinations of the future president and all of the key people circling around him. And then just go all Jesse Pinkman, “yeah! presidential immunity bitch!”.

Seeing shit like what?

Trump’s health secretary is a 24/7 drug user though. Then again, quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi.

That’s risky, there could be some pretty heinous fucked up shit in there waiting to be undeleted.

But I agree with the sentiment.

Yeah, Iran’s last democratically elected leader was Mohammed Mosaddegh, who upheld the most watered down and benign version of social democracy you can think of. He publicly opposed communism and really should’ve been an ally or at least a friend of the west.

CIA was out of their fucking minds when they fucked that one up.

Meh, these people are pure corporatist fascists, not free-market capitalists. These are very different things.

If you want to see an actual free-market capitalist who also has power and is not just a guy in the internet, check out Argentina’s still miraculously current president Milei.

There certainly exist capitalist utopias, like the Ayn Rand Galt’s Gulch and Heinlein’s Luna. All utopias are fictional, of course.
