People are supposed to help each other. It's the only job worth doing, and we could probably do it a lot more efficiently.
he/him or they/them.
- after watching schumer's useless response to the escalation of fascism, it finally dawned on me: "hey wait, why hasn't anyone demanded a recall election to replace schumer?" turns out the u.s. constitution doesn't have a mechanism for that. And *that* is a load of insane bullshit.
- this constitution sucks, and we should demand a new one. the unhinged idolization of this particular constitution has done a lot of damage, and we shouldn't tolerate it anymore.
- like... sure, it's good to have *a* constitution. Sure, you want your military swearing an oath to defend the current constitution, whatever that happens to be. but a constitution is a *machine* that exists to serve the people; if you're treating it like it's an infallible holy relic, you fucked up.
- might as well worship windows 11. (it's what Founder Gates would have wanted!)
- weird that it’s even legal to accept anything other than small individual contributions
- it’s almost as if the framers didn’t want most people participating in democracy. which means it’s almost as if it’s an extremely bad idea to try to follow their example uncritically!
- In principle, the concept of "operational security" can be reasonable, but people seriously need to treat it kind of like law: If someone is Not A Lawyer, then you should not take legal advice from them. Likewise, if someone Does Not Work In Opsec, then you should not take opsec advice from them.
- And just as you shouldn't try to be your own lawyer, you probably shouldn't be your own opsec analyst either.
