Yeah, the justice department has been really lax with this stuff. AFAIK that's not protected speech, and if you start jailing the first ones it'll stop. Stirring up hate towards someone to the point they get death threats has become a normalised part of the discourse on the right now.
A.G. Garland is a conservative. Trusting a conservative to act in good faith as A.G. was a huge error in judgement by this administration. That error has come very close to costing us our democracy.
A conservative should absolutely never be granted any position of authority. A conservative does not have a moral compass and can only act to benefit themselves or their in-group.
Law enforcement pretty much always sides with Trump supporters on this stuff so I wouldn't hold your breath. If this woman died, most cops would probably laugh.
I thought "Blue MAGA" was a fictitious organization used only by authoritarians cosplaying as lefties. MAGAs wouldn't use it because the implication is that "Red" MAGAs are also brainwashed clowns in a cult (which is true, but they don't like that fact).
When MAGAs are pretending that the terrorism their team commits is someone else's fault I think they blame antifas or the FBI.
this is not meant ironically, i'm so tired, boss. this shit needs to stop. as human beings can we collectively hate something other than ourselves? like maybe we can start hating methane with the same furvor.../i wish it were snark
Water isn’t wet. Wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid adheres to a solid surface due to cohesive and adhesive forces. Water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, creating a network, but they themselves aren’t ‘wet’ until they interact with another material.
I am of the opinion that a single molecule of water is not wet but since water makes other things wet... A molecule of water would make the surrounding molecules of water wet. Therefore pretty much any example you can give of water is wet unless you mean just a single molecule of water separated from anything else.
Ever since the pan. Everything was already terrible, but then the hinges broke. The crazy really took over. And this is where we are. Fucking stochastic terrorism with heaps of actual terrorism. They just don't have any boundaries anymore. Or sense of decency. Or shame. Fuck the right.
They're in favor of a free press, except if that press isn't in support of their political agenda. Then all of a sudden that free press isn't supposed to be so free.
If the freedom you want has a required political position, it's not freedom that you want.
Just like how they only use “free speech” to defend the indefensible things they say. Because they can’t actually justify the things they say, so they fall back to “well you technically can’t stop me from saying it.” The “free speech” defense is just about the lowest bar you could find, and if you’re using it you should seriously examine why you’re saying the things you are. Because if you’ve fallen into the “free speech” defense, it means you have no other defense.
Yeah, emotional violent savages are gonna act that way. They are not intelligent enough to argue and are uncivilized animals. Screw maga, they are weird outcasts and, anger getting wrecked in the election, can go hide in their bunkers where polite society doesn't have to look at them anymore...
Remember folks, the so-called moderate Republicans coming out of the woodwork have fully enabled the whackjobs making death threats and all the other bullshit coming out of the Gaslight Obstruct Project party over the past few years. They allowed this to happen, they invited this to happen, and the US will take years if not decades to recover.
We are entering the "I never supported him anyway" phase. Don't let them.
At some point in the future, there will be LLMs that will scan all voice, video, or text calls and do sentiment analysis. If they flag a call as hostile, they could send a signal to all intermediate network conduits that this person is a threat and will essentially 'unmask' their origin. Authorities can then take appropriate action.
If we're lucky, laws will be passed to enable it just for cases of assholes threatening someone they don't like. And after a few public lawsuits, the whole doxxing/swatting/death-threat thing will cease to exist.
More likely, it'll be used by governments to stifle dissent. But you gotta dream 😔
An LLM could do this, but it would be very expensive to do this for every single communication and not particularly good. Humans are good at communicating through subtext. "You have such a lovely wife, I would just be gutted if something tragic were to happen to her."
ChatGPT picked up the veiled threat there, but that's a very unsubtle example.
