Definitely not something to brag about.

I'm not trying to be bragging as I don't think I'm better than anybody— I just got lucky with my pc component circumstances, and I'm in fact extremely unlucky with having to short sell my home and move in with my parents across the country now because of a divorce with an abusive ex and job loss from wrongful termination. But since I'm a computer & data scientist I actually use my hardware for more than gaming. I don't expect others to be in my situation so I'm not trying to make others feel badly whatsoever, hence I'm not trying to come off as bragging.

New lore!

Abusive ex, wrongful termination, the gov't isn't feeding me so i'm losing weight, nobody's paying me, a prominent fecal scientist what i'm worth.  I tell ya, no respect.

[Let's Cyber]

They really are pretending they didn’t spend the last decade telling everyone that of course no one’s suggesting you can change sex because gender is the one that’s fluid.

This is why it's so important to have your messaging down; this shit is amateur hour. They've already sent their movement back a generation pushing high school and college sports so hard.

But I'm sure wokescolding everyone into submission will be effective the next time, right?

Amazing thread. 

U.S.-themed World Cup beaver designed by Ottawa artist destroyed in Toronto

It's gotta hurt to have your own work destroyed but I feel like maybe something else should've been commissioned from her because, well, folk are rightfully pissed

Maybe artists and charities shouldn't make money by glorifying fascist states that have threatened to destroy our country. Wild idea, I know.

A goofy looking beaver wearing a soccer jersey is glorifying a fascist state...?

It sure is!

How'd you feel if someone put up a cute little beaver that said "third reich" on it with a couple swastikas?

Fired their internal PR teams, fired their PR agency, is Greenberg doing everything himself now?

Jez Corden using Copilot.

Klobrille is gonna do all the marketing for Fable anyway, and for free.

In all seriousness, very sad for all the people who are losing, and will lose their jobs. If they close down Double Fine, I promise to never purchase anything even remotely related to Xbox ever again.

Jez Corden's dream job opening up.

He has already been on the books for years now

Gender is a social construct.
Sex is neither binary nor is immutable.
Trans rights are human rights.

Love seeing him quote a philosophy paper to argue something is an inarguable fact. And I suppose we can expect them to hold the government to this same standard of speaking the truth.

Literally not how judicial opinions work. Especially concurrences.

Fortunately I don't need Alito to confirm or deny if sex is binary. Science broadly agrees that its not. And heck, I don't need that either although its nic to have. It is my lived truth that sex isn't binary regardless.

Guy whose lived truth is that evolution isn't real and thinks science broadly agrees that evolution isn't true.

Name a greater crime than not letting males participate in women sports. This is absolutely the hill to die on

The trans movement lost a whole swathe of peoples support by continuing to push on this. The sight of quarterback sized transwomen dunking and overpowering and others handily outrunning and outjumping young girls was never gonna fly.

They can't say they weren't warned. Now they want to act as if certain insane statements were never made. 



They really are their own worst enemies.

This man posting up Hijabis like he's Prime Shaq was eye opening.

[benji]

It's obviously an equal protection violation because the law doesn't target trans men as far as I know, but this is the lawless Roberts Court after all.

 

It's kind of shocking how much they don't go on about trans men, tbh

Because nobody cares when women try to go into male spaces?

I'm not exactly "old", but never in my life have I seen the needs and desires of future society be failed so much by its leadership as we're seeing in 2026.

The needs and desires of future society: boys playing on girls sports teams.

But what pressing issue are they gonna whine about incessantly now?

This doesn't say states have to do it, just that they can do it. So those still need to be passed.

Replace this with race and it is the same shit segregationists were arguing in the 60's.

 Sports, heck even rooms, just for women should be illegal.

Another 6-3 ruling in favor of the biased and bigoted religious conservatives.

I like the juxtaposition of these two posts back to back. The progressives concurred in part. This was under that tweet:

Further down in the thread:

Worth noting, the opinion of the court here was 9-0 for being transphobic, it's basically that the last 3 judges didn't join in on the "trans people aren't protected by Equal Protection" complete gutting of any protections against violations of trans peoples' rights.

Democratic Party going all-in on genocide.  

They don't find trans men "threatening".

Because they're women, who don't suck like men, the cause of all the world's problems.

who knows who and what they'll ban next

It will probably be abortion or same sex marriage.

Likely gay marriage is next on the chopping block.

How are they supposed to do that?

a basic understanding of biology would shatter this man's bigoted little brain

HUMANS 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 MAMMALS 👏

Because to these people, trans men are just confused women and these bigots are so misogynistic that they don't consider trans men as men.

LOGIC

They'll probably move on to interracial marriages next. Gotta make sure the worst aspects of the 1950s are in full view.

The world just keeps getting worse and there's so little light left to be found anywhere. I really wonder if we're going to see things snap back in a positive direction before we're all dead, or if this is just the beginning of the end of the species as a whole as conservative dinosaurs try to end civilization on their way out the door.

this guy  

I really believe it's because it is rooted in misogyny more than anything else. Same reason gay men are vilified more than lesbians, or drag queens more than drag kings, etc. (Not saying that the latter in each case are not also vilified, mind)

They see anyone "wanting to be a woman" as an insult to the male hierarchy. What man would "want to be a woman" unless there was something wrong with them? If women "want to be men" that is insulting because how dare this woman think they could be on the level of a man, but if a man "wants to be a woman" or "lies with another man like they would with a woman" or whatever, it's a giant problem because clearly men are superior, right?

Not really. The conservative fixation on trans women is probably wrapped up in their psychotic and self-conscious concept of masculinity, and the feeling of it being encroached on or "'feminized". Same reason homophobes fixate on gay men way more than gay women

 Nobody actually thinks they're men. They know they're not men, but they're offended that anyone would dare admit they're not a man.

More bullshit from the conclave of unelected freaks that decide whose lives have value, not that I'm under any illusion about how this country feels on that front.

Your life having value is when you can use the law to force other people to let you play sports with women.

I really wonder if we're going to see things snap back in a positive direction before we're all dead,

We will not; technology and the oligarchs are doing everything possible to make sure communities remain separated and weak. We are stronger and have so much more power over the oligarchs when we come together and form communities. But people have been convinced to stay home and not engage with their neighbors or their community and it will further entrench conservative values over time. I've seen first hand in my family how someone who just stays home doing nothing becomes radicalized to the right. It's frightening how effective it is.

I really wonder if we're going to see things snap back in a positive direction before we're all dead, or if this is just the beginning of the end of the species as a whole as conservative dinosaurs try to end civilization on their way out the door.

Maybe I'm just a naive idiot, but I have hope. I dunno, I just don't think you can permanently shut off the yearning for liberty and positive change inside people's hearts. The recorded history of humanity is thousands and thousands of years of oppressive structures trying to trap the common people in a system of serfdom and subjugation, only to be overthrown. It happens over and over again. So the idea of our current crop of oligarchs, who seem to be the most mediocre crop of uncreative men ever assembled, would be the generation that "cracks" the formula seems wrong.

I fully expect that there will be major upheavals over the next century, thanks to climate change, and people are going to need someone to be angry at. Eventually, they're going to start looking at the trillionaires and billionaires in their bunkers drinking lemonade as the world burns.

These dudes.

It's kind of shocking how much they don't go on about trans men, tbh

Because they have no intention of ever sleeping with men. It all stems from what gets them turned on, and they don't even look in the direction of trans men as a result.

Pretty much, it runs up against their given belief that their dick is owed the hole of their preference and it's on all women to be available to them for it. Otherwise it's an affront to their being.

 

Partly because their transphobic brains still see trans men as "women" because they still have all the "bits" intact. Quite literally how my mother described it when I pressed her on why the fuck she cares so much about hating on a minority population. It's even more minority here in Australia and yet we still get fuckwads like Pauline Hanson being blatantly transphobic.

I love how every thread on there is like this, somebody coming in and saying the complete opposite but because they're attacking the chuds nobody ever bothers to figure out how this aligns with the other people in the thread saying the opposite that the chuds in fact see them as men.

All while erasing intersex because "biology"

Can get they get all the talking points in or will we miss some?

Happy Pride Month... F-ck them clowns.

What a wonderful way to finish off Pride month. /s

Evil, vile reprehensible people.

Only people who noticed that this happened during Pride Month of all months.

All this can be so much more easily explained when you see it as religion disguised as science. Things like binary sexes can only be eternally immutable if there's some divine will or law presupposing it. Otherwise you have to consider that men & women evolved through imperfect organic & cultural processes and will eventually die out one day as well, never to come back.

 

Isn't he kinda just using the same kinda "argument" white folks used to stop black people from having rights??? Like fuckin' hell this guy is dumb as fuck and evil.

Oh no, he knows exactly what he's doing. He knows he won't be impacted by the bigotry and is more than happy to hurt everyone else, including his own folk, as "revenge against liberals" and to further his own far right beliefs

Clarence Thomas is an egg?  

This guy is a rapist by the way.

 

Seeing this on reddit and the comments are insane. Like half the people are like, "I'm liberal and support this. It's only fair to cis girls."

The people in this world just suck.

You basically see this on Era all the time:

Some-of-you-may-Die-but-thats-a-sacrifice-I-am-willing-to-make-meme-10.jpg

"Trans folks need to shut up and vote away their rights so that the poor cis people can feel normal/less threatened again. Surely that won't eventually creep into group I'm a part of!"

Tale as old as time. Lol.

Well, okay, don't vote. See if I care.

sports is a mistake. Nobody gave a shit until a swimmer placed 5th placed and complained

Aren't there literally like less than 20 trans women athletes in school sports?

Im sure that will lower gas prices and reduce inflation and make all of our lives better now that like 10 athletes can't play in their chosen sports.

There we go, I think we can get them all.

"Land of the free" they once said

Authoritarian government.

Honestly surprised they don't quote scripture in their opinions by now. They might as well, but I guess they figure that might not be great for their posterity.

Justices have quoted scripture plenty of times.

Unfortunately not surprising. Too many evil people sitting in this court.

Also unfortunately there's no easy fix as we now have to undo the mistakes of allowing trump to win twice and steal the supreme court, this could have been avoided but it needed to be done ten years ago. It's so important that we never allow republicans to gain power again...

DEMOCRACY

If I ever fucking die I'm haunting every fucking lib who did this

Guy who thinks he's immortal.

There's a lot of extremely bigoted liberals.

We call them chasers.

lmao

My opponents are attracted to me.

You can't say sex is an immutable binary just because you feel that way, you fucking hack. How about citing some scientific proof for that assertion?

Yup. That's what makes it so infuriating. The ramifications for this ruling are horrifying.

 @grok is this true

"I'm not transphobic but..." Is a red flag. It's introducing Jim Crow to trans people and people are willing to compromise

Jim Crow is when men aren't allowed to force their way onto women's sports teams.

the pedophile epstein cabal tricking people into targetting trans people instead of them will go down as one of the most consequential scams of our time

the only way to react to this is to tear down anyone who even halfway supports the manufactured bigotry and leave them for history to forget

Not a conspiracy forum.

Protect girls by making them more vulnerable.

[Propagandhim]

This is what I've been talking about for years.

Liberalism is just an openly contradictory mess of shoddy authoritarianism mixed in with paff appeals to vague, non-specific ideals like "democracy." It is imperialism made chic; fascism still in beta. It is an outdated approach both to the furtherance of imperialism in a world where the US is losing relevancy but also to the nondescript gesturing towards liberatory ideals when in the same breath you will see support for the cops, hence why every time I have asked liberals what is their ideal world and system they couldn't give me an answer, or even parts of an answer, no vision, no desires. There is no fucking thought behind any of this except trying to assimilate minorities into supporting the very capitalism that is killing them!

Notice when Project 2024 was being discussed, leaked, and read, these incompetent buffoons, with all of their consultants, donors, and loyalists, couldn't be bother matching it with their own Project. There was always the possibility that Trump could win and they utterly refused to work on any contingencies. There is nothing in liberalism for the masses to put their weight behind. There is no project. There is no vision to build up. It's a black hole utterly erasing good people's energy and time, a con to waste their fucking lives keeping this dying animal on life support instead of organizing to theorize and then build a better world.



The fact that these people are scared of an entryism group whom has proven to be co-optable- and who talked to me personally about how they're fine letting the feds in- and whose fucking membership and in-group procedures is longer than the explanation of socialism in their awful Constitution should convince you to never vote for these imbeciles again.

She's right.  She's fucking right...holy shit.     No, it all makes sense: It's the dialectical paff of the liberatory (and post-liberatory) episteme....that has become, dare I say, paff-esque?  It's exactly as Focoault used to write about: "Every scientific (and post-scientific) phenomena emerges from the dispensation of misogynoir".  The contradictions are everywhere in this so-called "democrazia".  Fascismo still in beta, but it's going open beta soon, motherfuckers... and that's what's scary.  Open your fuckin' eyes and read a book one of these days because y'all don't get it.  I have repeatedly asked liberals to explain what their ideal world is, which, for some reason, I'm able to do but nobody else can: for example, places I've never been to like Brazil and "communities" (per se) I don't experience are made up of something I like to call "communities". Consider this: communities where people have porches whereupon they listen to loud as fuck music and everyone knows each other and feels familial and helps each other out - we can predictably design that neighborhood.  We can create these communal relationship if you just did the work and liked loud as fuck music that almost delirious levels of lack of conscientiousness can produce.  Well, whatever, I want to listen to it, so fuck y'all if you don't.   You gotta do the work, and when the work happens, you can organize, and when you organize, then the work can happen (through organizing or what I call "paff effort"). After those explicit, concrete steps I've laid out, people start to want to watch each other’s kids, and help out and deliver sandwiches to each others porches while they watch the rich street art/life and spontaneous solidarity of a high-trust society filled with informal relationships emerge.  But, in the words of the great B. Spears "You gotta work, bitch." Why does nobody but me understand this.  No vision.  Just me with the vision. No see thing, only me see thing.  No understanding of the emergent properties of community that happen when you remove the capitalismo and introduce moral language and tell people what to do. And that's what's scary - at the end of the day, it's simply paff, and nobody but me gets it.  But instead of Brazilliance, we get fuckin whites. Whites tryin to assimilate people into a so-called "democracy" with the promise of "jobs", as I call it, vis a vis our Lies of P.  But in this case the P stands for Production, something that feeds the machine.  Not pinnochio.  Nobody's feeding Pinnochio to anyone...and yet, does anyone else but me notice the nose continues to grow just the same?  Kinda like...oh yeah, the infinite growth of capitalism?  Yeah, just a coincidence I guess.   Everyone is an incompetent buffoon.  Everyone is dumb as FUCK.  Just yesterday my manager here at Walgreens really showed herself to be a bad actor: She said the mint lifesavers and the fruit lifesavers go together...and here's the scary part, they totally fucking don't. Since time and memorials, capitalismo has created a kind of, historical materialism, shall we say that has predetermined through market forces that mint lifesavers and the candied ones go the same aisle because they're both delectable, delicious candy treats. But I'm a healthcare cash-register provider: my patients need my experience and insight, especially in this world where everyone but me is dumb as fuck - ergo: the mint lifesafers belong more in the oral care aisle instead of the candy aisle, as I have pointed out, the mint has some antibacterial value.  I gave her sources for the mint claim, and she didn't do the work.  Didn't read it.  Didn't even acknowledge that I'm using science from first principles.  It was so...undialectical that it made me sick.  So when she didn't do the work, I demanded she confront the contradictions of capitalism: I asked her to delineate between "candy" and "oral care" and she couldn't fuckin do it LOL.  LOL literal buffoon.  That's what's scary about all this, they literally have no idea how to fuckin do it, so they don't do it. So what happened? I called the police. Total mistake.  They forced a compromise, like the camp david accords and guess who was the Palestinian?  Yeah, I got fucked.  We put it in the cough drops aisle:  They have absolutely no value in treatment of cold and flu, but we put it there because she refused to do the work and read the sources.  My patients will have a mouth full of bacteria because of law enforcement acting as a bulwark for capitalism.  So now, they need extra oral care...and I just put the toothpaste out, they buy the toothpaste, I put more toothpaste out. Infinite growth due to second principles instead of first ones.  Unsustainable capitalist fiction.  Literally nobody but me gets it.

Skit concept: earlier days of the Church, all its leaders perplexed that non-converts don't seem to actually believe in the tenets of Christianity.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Aside from the esoteric mumbo jumbo the big difference here seems to be that they claim to preserve individuality but I have no idea how you'd do that without creating conflicts that are bigger than just a thing that can be solved by throwing a "party" for the losers. (Also imagine if one side just keeps being the loser...)

so this has inspired me for how you could tell an actually interesting story in this setting

imagine there's this one small town who constantly loses every conflict, they just seem totally unlucky, leading to everyone else feeling bad for them, but they keep their chin up and say "eh it's ok, due to the benefits of our wonderful society, we persevere"

but

it turns out that when a town loses one of these conflicts, it's customary for the victor to hang up these colorful streamers everywhere (just considered disposable trash), and there's a scientist in this town who has determined that the material used to make the streamers is a rarer-than-expected hyper valuable superconductor

and they're losing on purpose to accumulate this material and build technological wonders in a secret lab, hoping to one day reveal themselves and impose a new order upon the rest of the populace

Now make it erotic.

Why else would someone hate something? Because they're sexually attracted to it and it makes them uncomfortable. (Every accusation is a confession.)

Let's pull up some of that theory:

Liberalism is just an openly contradictory mess of shoddy authoritarianism mixed in with paff appeals to vague, non-specific ideals like "democracy." It is imperialism made chic; fascism still in beta. It is an outdated approach both to the furtherance of imperialism in a world where the US is losing relevancy but also to the nondescript gesturing towards liberatory ideals when in the same breath you will see support for the cops, hence why every time I have asked liberals what is their ideal world and system they couldn't give me an answer, or even parts of an answer, no vision, no desires. 

Liberals can't explain western democracy and capitalism with controls to her. It's impossible to do so.  Therefore lets do communism which makes so much sense it doesn't need to be explained.

There are multiple brands of socialism and communism based upon various thinkers and countries that have tried to implement it throughout the centuries. Some are just theory New ideas will come to bear as technology, climate crises, and general awareness of the workers increase. Plenty of books and movements out there to research.

But just in general, you are not going to get some perfectly formulated, detailed, step-by-step plan on how a new society will function. Not only is that not a standard capitalists were never held to (the original colonizers never foresaw subscription services and gig jobs in 2026. Asking for that is a dead end question. "You do not make perfect the enemy of good."

I can't explain it but democracy can't be explained either so we don't need to explain it. 

and whose fucking membership and in-group procedures is longer than the explanation of socialism in their awful Constitution

Does she mean the US Constitiion? What would she like added?  Mandatory sharing of carrots and never saying what the punishment would be. 

You truly don't have to actually do anything for your constituents; just dangle a better tomorrow perpetually out of reach.

Which is what promising some socialist utopia with no mechanisms explained is.  Just have a revolution and a utopia will natural arise. 



https://www.resetera.com/threads/democratic-senator-chris-murphy-welcomes-democratic-socialists-to-the-party-says-the-current-version-of-capitalism-that-america-has-isn%E2%80%99t-working.1564381/#post-157201777

"This version of capitalism isn't working. But this one could!"

No.

No more capitalism.

It may not be perfect but I think you have to give capitalism points for actually existing or being a necessary addition to socialist states.  

Fanon was clear on this point: You are not going to change society without violence, particularly since this world was not borne from non-violence. Very powerful people have an interest in maintaining this shit system and they have no qualms with sending the state and military to kill you to do so. Look up the murder rates of direct action environmental activists to see the bloodlust we're up against.

She always brings this up as well as journalists but never mentions this happens in either Colombia or Brazil, The Land of Lucio. 

You get revolutionary thinking, and thus revolutionary movement, when you start thinking about how capitalism infects every aspect of our lives. The whole of the system must be brought down and thus we must think of the whole system, not just the issue with jobs, but the issue with transportation and infrastructure, our government system, systems of bigotry- all of it.

They have failed incalculabley due to their terminal west-wing Sorkin brained insistence on compromise and bipartisanship with fascists, serving corporate interests over the common American worker, and making half-assed means tested plans that do not adequately improve people's material conditions

Violence is needed, check and we should never compromise, check..  Except in two weeks she will shame everyone for being mean to your MAGA neighbors and say people need to follow her example of compassion and understanding the chuds and scold all ya' all for being uncivil.  Just like she'll call people idiots on the forum and then days later get high and mighty that we need to love eachother.

The moderates have had multiple decades to prove they can govern and that their ideological world view is the correct one. They have failed incalculabley

Have they failed or have you not gotten what you want?



And back to the point that democracy can't be explained so why should socialism be explained I can't believe you didn't post this insight

I am not arguing for no plan at all, and indeed plans already exist. People have thought long and hard about this before ResetEra even existed, and again, countries have implemented socialism for just long enough to get data on how it works and benefits the masses (before the West killed their leaders, sanctioned them to death, and instituted capitalist control again of course.)

I'm saying that any given plan that exists now may not satisfy your question because you do not have future knowledge of what the political, technological, social, and environmental conditions are going to be like when you actually start the work and get to building.

So we just need to invent Star Trek food replicators and then we can do communism.

It's the age-old "How will restaurants work under communism?" trap. No one can reasonably answer that question now because there is no state that has achieved communism, ergo you cannot contend with any logistical issues that would crop up when trying to build a restaurant under a communist mode of production; in fact, I would argue that people cannot conceive of meaningful questions when it comes to "how will x work under communism?" because they also lack the knowledge and experience to formulate such a question in the first place. It may be that the way a restaurant works under communism will be really obvious when communism comes about, and thus such a question becomes a stupid one. Ultimately, things will change as you develop a society and you must be adaptable to those changes in the pursuit of your goals.

It's can't be explained so the question isn't worth asking, duh!

It would be like going back in time and asking the Founding Fathers "How do you think movie theaters are going to work in 2030?" They're going to look at you like "What the fuck is a movie theater?" (or depending on if you're non-white, ask why the fuck you aren't in chains lol.)

She thinks in post-colonial America every black person was enslaved?   But when you think about it, aren't we all in chains and enslaved now?

[Boredfrom]

haha we love the transphobic supreme court (also Elon's PAC tweet is wrong, it was 6-3)


Jeff can't help but tweet weird shit about women:

ERA was arguing that it was  5-4 because a technicality.  I dunno how that makes sense but I didn’t want to keep reading. Seems now it was a “Rorschach test” for both sides…

[benji]

Uhh wow that's wild. They only care about "protecting women's rights" when it's about banning trans people.
Also in the same article:

Campaign finance: The court also lifted a Watergate-era cap on how much money political parties may spend in coordination with candidates.

This is really concerning. Now they don't even have to hide or funnel it under the table, they can just pump billions into a candidate and openly buy a win.

Do you think this guy just read over "political parties" in that sentence?

Why is the Birthright Citizenship thread so long? Five pages??? Do I dare look?

I wonder if this just kicks the can down the road after they're able to replace Roberts and the "centrist" Republicans on the court.

It not being 9-0 shows just how illegitimate this court is, if it wasn't clear enough already.

I'm fully convinced at least 2 current justices would dissent on the unconstitutionality of slavery.

I sincerely think if Trump tried to make chattel slavery legal again, Thomas would vote for it.

Those 3 should absolutely be considered for impeachment. It's akin to ruling the sky is green. If you don't understand the plain language of the Constitution you have no place being on the bench.

Oof, one of those Federalist Society dudes just openly posting.

I feel like this makes the case even more that SCOTUS is just hopelessly politicized.

Wait until this guy finds out about the history of the Court.  

At this point I'm 100% convinced that Thomas would vote to make his own interracial marriage illegal.

The most pressing reason to vote next election isn't even Trump or his goons, it's that SCOTUS is hellbent on wiping the Constitution away. We're two justices away from unilaterally undoing the fourteenth amendment.

Wow, and this guy openly demanding we vote for genocide???

As if we needed more indicators — Dems need to play dirty and pack the court, first chance they get. I doubt they'll ever have the resolve to do it, but it needs to happen.

Doubt they ever will. They are so afraid of precedent I feel.

Or because they know the Republicans would just do it back?

The lesson in a functional government would be to amend your Constitution to reflect the citizenship protections you want, rendering the SCOTUS judgment moot and ensuring crystal clear text for any future challenge.

Unfortunately the modern US isn't a functional government and it treats the Constitution like an immutable holy text, so you rely on the judicial branch to interpret existing law in the greater public interest.

But if we don't treat the Constitution as immutable holy text then why would the amendment matter? Why not just ignore what it says? 

Normally I would understand but in light of what Trump has done to this country? Gloves off. Dems need to get creative and aggressive in how/why norms are restored. Relying on precedent like you're worried about a president Bush, McCain or RMoney and a like-minded GOP congress isn't gonna safeguard us and the nation from shit beyond the short term.

Agreed and then they wonder why people get pissed when they wimp out all the time.

That's a huge reason why I have no party affiliation now. I'll gladly vote for Dems 10/10 times but they have got to learn how to fight fire with fire.

 

Exactly. SCOTUS is broken and needs to be expanded to un-fuck it, but the real issue here is essentially the complete abdication of law-making to the executive and judicial branches in the first place. The court's job is supposed to be to interpret the legal text, guided to some extent by also determining the original intent behind laws - that's it.

Instead everyone waits with baited breath every SCOTUS session to see what rights they will or won't have any more, because everyone knows Congress is incapable of changing the actual legal text in the 21st century.

But Congress can't change the text by themselves?

Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch need to be removed

Absolutely insane that even three are dissenting. They should not be feeling safe enough to express those opinions.

We need a candidate that runs on "make fascists scared again."

Trump said something concerning leading up to this decision. Paraphrasing but "even if we lose, and that would be a terrible thing, but there are things we can do at the border"

Is he planning on full ban on anyone coming in?

 

Thomas and Alito are truly, truly ghoulish. If the docket "Should we randomly kill 100000 people yes/no" reached the Supreme Court I bet those two would vote yes.

That's not a case or controversy. And, actually, that'd probably be 8-1 in deference to the legislature based on precedent.

I'm not sure how you fix a country in which almost half of the members of its highest court, with the explicit remit of upholding the constitution of said country, choose to performatively be unable to read the plain text of the constitution they are intended to uphold.

The Executive has almost fully captured the Judiciary with the assistance of the Legislature, and the Judiciary have subsequently determined the Executive is not bound by the Legislature and only barely bound by the Constitution... So now what?

Even with the Trifecta, I don't know what Democrats could do to actually genuinely fix this in any way that can't simply be immediately undone the moment they lose power (I am not naive enough to believe the Democrats would even try to fix things, but presuming their was a will I don't know the way).

And here's some liberdopian whining about last century.

It's so fucked that we could potentially get Thomas and Alito retiring so they can be replaced with a GOP stooge and we're stuck with this farce bias court until I'm a senior citizen most likely.

Us millennials and younger gens just gotta suffer I guess. Not sure what we did to piss off the universe. Lol.

 

Should be impeached for this, but nothing will happen until the meteorite hits.

Thomas and Alito are some of the worst justices in modern history.

I wonder what the AI considers to be "modern history"?

Yeah I'm not convinced the next time the Dems have the trifecta it won't just turn Biden 2.0, ie "let's all just move on from Trump, heal as a nation and try to go back to the way things were during the Obama years" bullshit.

It's vital to remember that America is fundamentally a right-wing country founded on white supremacy and allowing the rich to control everything. Our "Founding Fathers" were mostly a bunch of rich, slave-owning, genocidal maniacs who just didn't want to pay taxes anymore. It's why a large chunk of our supposedly "left-wing" party is actually made up of Centrists who - while being cool with minorities and queer folks - still fight to preserve the status-quo and rarely ever try to make good on their promises of raising the minimum wage, getting money out of Washington, or increasing taxes on the rich. Our country was founded on supporting the rich above all else, and in a nation like that, even your left-wing party is fundamentally going to be very right-wing when it comes to extoling the "virtues" of Capitalism.

When you bare that in mind, every form of regressive politics that happens here makes way more sense. It's also why every form of progressive legislation throughout our history has had to be a massive fight and pretty much has always just barely been passed into law, with usually a 5-10% majority at best.

When the landmark Civil Rights Act passed in 1964, 31% of the country disapproved of it and 10% "weren't sure":

Any time this country makes progress, it has to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing so, and even then just barely accomplishes it. The Trump years have been a harsh reminder of just how fragile progress in the US actually is, and how quickly it can be taken away if the "checks and balances" in government completely crumble.

5-4 on a case so cut and dry is maybe the biggest canary in the coal mine that we are absolutely and positively fucked unless major court reform happens ASAP.

No reform, full dissolvement! Needs to be rebuilt from the ground up!

Next administration needs to find Alito and Thomas as corrupt and nullify their decisions.

When the Democrats are in power again, they need to absolutely nuke SCOTUS. Stack it, force through legislation to put in term durations and term limits, force the current people on it out, I don't care, just do something.

So now we're to the outright dictatorship part of the thread I see.

Couldn't the next president walk in and literally throw them out a window and be immune from prosecution? I'm voting for that

In a thread where people are demanding the government be limited to the plain text of the Constitution.  

If they dissent maybe they should voluntary deport their entire family tree.

They'll get rid of all the illegal abuse camps and ICE can all go the fuck away.

All of the people who were forced to leave against their will but the law said they stay, they need to bring them all back and pay reparations, and probably give them new homes at this point.

 

Justice Jackson tore into the king Uncle Tom Clarence Thomas

Thought we'd never get to the racial slurs!

Yeah but I don't know how much stock to actually put into that, since if Barrett or Roberts had gone the other way, then that would be the end of birthright citizenship including for children of immigrants, and Gorsuch's stamp would've been on that.

I'm guessing he knew it was going to remain protected and decided to throw his musings in with the dissent to keep him looking like he's constantly scrutinizing every word of the Constitution to ensure that, God forbid, not one extra right is granted to someone in this country.

Oh, so they think the Justices all hide the votes and opinions from each other rather than knowing what the vote is before they even write them and then spend months rewriting to get others to sign on.  

You ain't wrong about that. It's just that, in this world, there's actually few people I'd say I hate. Hate is a strong word in my book. There are bad people in this world - awful people, criminal people, thoughtless sociopaths, people who might make the world a better place if they suddenly left us - and I wouldn't even say I hate all of the people I'd sort into those buckets. People are complicated.

...but Clarence Thomas?

I hate that motherfucker.

Burning passion type shit.

Like I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have any family tethering me to this Earth but whatever it is I can't say it here type shit.

He's up there with some billionaires and the most vile heads-of-states on my personal emotionally-weighted shitlist. He's one of the few men on this Earth who I'd label Pure Evil without a second thought.

Honestly Thomas is the worst most evil person in America. It is only because his power is divided by 9, that he is not worse than Trump. That dude needs to die of old age yesterday. Fuck him

What do you think they would even say if asked to explain this?

That's good, but it's scary that it could potentially be undone by a law from Congress.

I know people are happy the constitution can't be overturned via a flat executive order, but I look at today's result and my base thought is "Okay, the 14 amendment will eventually be overturned in my lifetime."

The court just needs the right date and legal nonsense to do it.

Yeah, they're one heart attack away from doing it (albeit, that'd still require an act of Congress to appease Kavanaugh and figuring out whatever the hell regime would fit whatever it is Gorsuch is on about, but still)

6-1 = 5.

Please actively take part in the electoral process.

Always vote in your party's primaries. ALWAYS!

Always vote the lesser evil in the general election. ALWAYS!

If we do this, we might actually get structural reform of the campaign financing, electoral, lobbying, and governance processes to make this shit much less likely to happen in the future. Checks and balances and incentives for good governance representing all constituents rather than special interests needs to be the goal.

And now we're back to demanding trans people vote for their own genocide.

Reading the 14th Amendment it is extremely clear the point is to have birthright citizenship.

But saying that, there is A LOT in the 14th amendment that gets ignored.

Since Trump encouraged an insurrection he should not be able to hold office.

It also specifically says you can't take someone's property without due process. So how is eminent domain legal??

Ah that's easy, they just say the process of eminent domain is due process.

Kinda like all the "from time to time" text where they will just say well now it is one of those times. The constitution writers did not think clearly or expect so many people would abuse the systems they put in place. As people said before, a lot of what's holding the USA together feels like gentlemens agreements, and the moment corruption comes along it just says nah we're not following that.

It's because you guys are looking at the wrong amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Also, lmao, welcome to the libertarian movement:


Love all the posts that are "what do the dissents say?" and don't even bother to just find it themselves.

[benji]

and whose fucking membership and in-group procedures is longer than the explanation of socialism in their awful Constitution

Does she mean the US Constitiion? What would she like added?  Mandatory sharing of carrots and never saying what the punishment would be.

She's slamming the DSA: https://www.dsausa.org/about-us/constitution/

I think she thinks this is supposed to be some kind of political manifesto rather than the process for how the group is supposed to operate. (Or maybe she's simply slamming them for focusing too much on organizing and not enough on theory.)

It's the age-old "How will restaurants work under communism?" trap. No one can reasonably answer that question now because there is no state that has achieved communism, ergo you cannot contend with any logistical issues that would crop up when trying to build a restaurant under a communist mode of production; in fact, I would argue that people cannot conceive of meaningful questions when it comes to "how will x work under communism?" because they also lack the knowledge and experience to formulate such a question in the first place. It may be that the way a restaurant works under communism will be really obvious when communism comes about, and thus such a question becomes a stupid one. Ultimately, things will change as you develop a society and you must be adaptable to those changes in the pursuit of your goals.

First of all, what would be the point of a restaurant under communism? It can't be as a business. As some kind of community kitchen/buffet? Merely a big room where everyone eats their distributed rations? All with community policing to make sure nobody hoards more than they need, of course.

But also this is what I posted about earlier, she's demanding everyone change to something while also asserting it's never been done and nobody can know what it'd be like but also that this shouldn't be a reason not to do it. Then she gets mad because nobody accepts this. even though it's patently insane reasoning. 

Plus how she asserts it's not possible to know even though an endless number of people smarter and less ignorant than her have attempted to outline how every aspect of life would be under communism because the communist mode of production is a very simple thing everyone (else) agrees upon, not some mystical unknown. She just dismisses it as impossible to know as if communism is simply a state of mind rather than a deliberate system with any kind of set traits.

The truth is that she has no clue what it is that she actually wants to abolish other than whatever it is, it's capitalism.
