Unless the state is infallible, never making a mistake in or out of court, AND it is literally impossible to rehabilitate the offender, AND It requires fewer resources to execute a person then to keep them alive, then and only then is it not profanely hideous to sanction state murder.
Capital punishment is a barbaric practice that can not be justified by hiding it behind a jury.
This one policy is better in this extremely superficial description.
Neither country has workers rights on par with Europe for example.
Unlike other countries America taxes you if you live here or not. The main barrier to people living cheaper lifestyles abroad is their obligation to continue to pay American taxes for what amounts to no benefit.
Good intentions without the spirit of cooperation or respect for consent is still evil.
The main problem with all of these internet surveillance tools being marketed as ways to protect children is that people are engaging with them on that basis.
As far as I’m concerned they haven’t done anything to establish that they actually intend to protect children or that this is a reasonable way to do it. This seems like a solution to a different problem that ignores all of the problems it creates.
Parents should be responsible for their children. A random website creator shouldn’t have to be responsible for your children.
Websites aren’t stores where people walk in off of a public street. They are services that people reach out to and engage with specifically and intentionally. If we can address the non-consensual non-intentionality part of internet tracking and surveillance a lot of this stuff goes away. So maybe rather than regulating the website to protect your children we should be regulating the website to protect consent.
We did this.
Trump is the inevitable result of liberals spending all their energy opposing progressives and cooperating with fascists.
The portion of the adult American population that remains blameless is vanishingly small.
We decided at some point to stop enforcing laws on rich people and the whole world is paying the consequence for that. We are mostly the source of most of the aggression on most of the planet, I don’t know about you but I’m old enough to say it’s been 40 years of this shit to my recollection.
But it’s 8 gigs of RAM on a Mac so It will perform like a Chromebook with 4 gigs of RAM.
They’re not being trained to be elite troops the way that people mythologize the IDF who somehow managed to miss all of the warnings about October the 7th and can’t tell the difference between a baby and a bomb.
They’re being trained to be the enforcers of apartheid. Racistly motivated government shock troops don’t have to be competent or capable they just have to be cruel and follow orders.
There’s definitely violence against the protesters there. The awfulizing and amplification of the issues in Iran are specifically to bolster this administration’s desire to make war there.
Fascism need not always lie but instead selectively reveal pieces of reality and fudge the lines of credulity. There are ways to support Democratic revolutions that don’t involve sending our military in.
The people of Iraq were also very grateful to see Saddam Hussein go but that doesn’t mean that they wanted to lose hundreds of thousands of people to starvation and wanton destruction to satisfy our foreign policy goals.
CBS news is about as reliable as Russia Today. I wonder if we can find any corroborating reports from someone outside the Trump sphere of enshitification.
You know that’s a novel and insightful musing that no one’s ever thought to share before.
It’s brave of you to go on Lemmy and suggest the solution to a Windows problem is to uninstall it.
You can’t build a rule from exceptions.
There are those few circumstances of uniquely certain guilt when you probably could make a very breathy argument in favor of executing people, but that is not something that can be easily codified into law and the legal fiction of “beyond a reasonable doubt” has already been reliably subverted in … Every country that currently has jury trials.
I love the idea that evil people get their comeuppance. I’m not so much a fan of giving the state or whatever perfectly ideal synergy of state and people exists in the utopic future the ability to murder without consequence.
To me it seems fairly obvious that that’s bad and that the entity capable of doing it justly is not within the capacity of current human culture to produce.
