Crime rates maybe go down because you’re going hyperbolic with the state monopoly on violence but also that kind of authoritarian regime often has control over the data. When you don’t care for process you generally don’t care for integrity.

Idk man, i forgot his name since i commented. Fast news cycle cuts both directions. Visuals and memes have a little bit more lasting impact. Punch nazis kid is much easier to remember.

Idk what you mean. I’d rather remember a good person. If his goal was attention then he failed utterly as the other kid got the credit

This post is the first time I’ve heard of him and I’ve seen the video and memes. At least for me you’ve done more to promote awareness of him than anyone else including spud himself.

Rojava/DNAS has some good ideas.

I think there will be a sudden abundance when food waste is distributed instead of landfilled, housing is rent free and not locked away as an investment.

Most of the systems that make society function are already not profit motivated so most will continue to function in transition. We see this happen every natural disaster, the workers of a critical facility sticking through because their work is meaningful.

Won’t be totally comfortable but i disagree with the opinion it will be a death sentence for many.

I realized it was causing a lot of anxiety for me. Easy quit after that because the reward was less anxiety after a few days.

This would suggest the leadership positions aren’t required for the function of the business.

Look, careers aren’t about doing your job well, they’re about being likeable whether or not you’re competent. If people like you you’ll get paid more even if you can’t figure out how to export a word document.

I agree wholeheartedly, OP doesn’t deserve the bashing, meme is dead on. My daily experience.

It’s a kind of slang or dialect speech from a stereotype of people in rural areas(hillbilly, redneck, or just country), also as gold prospectors(1840’s) are commonly portrayed in films.

“Them there hills”, which means, “those hills over there”.

Them/their are pronouns for non-binary people replacing the gendered he/his or she/hers.

It is a pun and an excellent one at that.

Damn that’s a dry delivery for Lemmy

Qualified immunity doesn’t give them the authority but it gives them the de facto right.

That’s how they’ve acted for ages now. There examples of people being bound and sat in a row during arrest and a cop walking down the line spraying from 2020. Others from pipeline protests and back to occupy that I’ve heard of.

Once the they put on the riot gear they act like the blood-thirsty Nazis they are and ignore the legal protections of the protestors.

They’re not always in prison, sometimes we let them do their forced labor outside.

You accomplish years and years of intense, highly productive and rewarding work then this happens. It’s not about puckering up. Be curious. People have stated things like “depression” and “executive dysfunction”. You can look these up, there are plenty of resources.
