  • Is this… a genuine, honest to god “article” talking about private jet taxation like it’s some unfair agenda? This reminds me of those articles talking about what trans persons need to know when anti-trans legislation is enacted in the states. Only those articles had a legitimate concern and this is a fucking joke of an article. I know, it’s ths fortune, but I can read through the lines how offended the author is that Mamdani would dare tax those poor private jet owners. Now I want Mamdani to double on this. Make those rich fucks wanna-be aristrocats squirm and seethe.











  • Dude, you keep arguing as if the Snowden leaks haven’t been scrutinized to hell and back. I need to only search once for the US reading the communication of americans and it brings up countless articles like this one making reference to the Snowden leaks. You keep dissing Snowden and Greenwald, as if those two were the only ones analyzing the files. In truth, entire teams of journalists from multiple outlets worked on different parts of those stories. Do I trust you, who can’t even provide a source, or hundreds of journalists and the obviously scummy and sometimes downright illegal behavior of the US government to shut those journalists down? And just because it isn’t “illegal”, because the government gave itself the right to fuck you over, doesn’t mean that it is morally permissible. You didn’t even address the fact that the US forced the plane of the president of Ecuador to land in Europe due to pressure from the US, because it flies in the face of your narrative that the US is a righteous place where you can trust the law, even when the government itself wants to silence you. You know how they got around not being able to spy on Americans? They got the brits and other countries to do it for them. That is what the Five-Eyes organization is all about. The Wikipedia article I linked detailing the Snowden leaks even break down in which direction the data transfer went between the different spy agencies.
