Game changer for people who can't stand controllers, and for all the great non controller designed games on games pass. Can't wait!

Is there a law that's been broke here, even if it's just defamation or something? I'd love to see this asshole prosecuted.

They send plenty of shit down here, too, sadly. The Qanon disease started there and is still strong.

At one point, I had hoped to escape to Canada till I found out it was as sick and dying as the US.

There're strong elements even working to dismantle their healthcare, just like in the UK. There's nowhere to run from the dirty capitalists, sadly.

The helpless dems excuse has been used by apologists for the past 50+ years of failure to do anything!

The worst crackdown in recent memory on welfare happened under Clinton and the neolibs. I think both of these groups have examples of doing the things you've listed.

I appreciate your insights but respectfully disagree as there are examples of your listed priorities across party lines.

The end part is right. The same billionaires and companies pay both sides campaign bills. Which is why they're basically the same economically.

Biden is performing theater about doing that. When was the last time dems actually managed a significant wealth tax? LOL

It is pure theater. If anything like that ever got close to passing, and the paid actors Sinema snd Mansion weren't enough, then they'd just pick another actor or two so the dems could pretend they really wanted to but no matter how much power they have its not possible to actually DO something.

There are no liberal counterparts. The billionaires are all capitalists. That's all there is to it. Any other political theater they perform for you playing left and right is just theater.

Dems and Republicans are identical parties on economic policy (note I said economic, not all policies).

Burn it down, no reconstruction this time. That was one of the biggest mistakes post-civil war.

 
  • In 2023, police in the U.S. Killed over 1,300 people, marking a steady increase in police killings, as reported by Mapping Police Violence.
  • There were only 14 days without a police killing, and on average, a person was killed by law enforcement every 6.6 hours.
  • While the number of people killed by gunfire and officers killed in the line of duty declined, this data highlights the need for significant changes in policing in the country.
 

Even if it's just a recommendation on a different group in which to ask the question, I'm curious how Lemmy combats criminal activity and content like human trafficking, smuggling, terrorism, etc?

Is it just a matter of each node bans users when they identify a crime, and/or problematic nodes are defederated if they tolerate it?

And if defederated, does that mean each node has to individually choose to defederate from the one allowing criminal activity?
