Why specifically August 19 2031?

Remigration plot twist.

I mean, Takaichi’s cabinet is a new high in Japanese government stupidity so Japan is getting there, they just need time.

Fair enough.

Hey, speak for yourself, some people actually like them for it (mainly those with a neglection fetish).

Haven’t heard of any vote, got a link?

I’m sure that, since a blockade is an act of war and it’s not within the president’s power to declare war, Congress will act any second now to stop this problem from escalating. Right? RIGHT?!

No, primarily because of human rights, but also because they don’t really work as marketed. As seen from this map, plenty of places with much less draconian laws are doing comparably or straight up better to the Asian countries you’re talking about. The lowest drug use rates in the world are in fact in Sub Saharan Africa, followed by the Indian Peninsula and the Middle East and the rest of the Global South. East Asia isn’t high by any means, but it’s not low either.

Would be amazing if they decided to, I dunno, do a full-scale civil war reenactment to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the end of the original.

This technology is supposed to be for disaster response (sending cockroaches to check for survivors under rubble and stuff), but yeah that sounds about right. I wonder how long it’ll take until they put bombs in these.

Yeah that’s not “potato potato” that’s called fucking lying. Criticizing the options offered and preaching disengagement are two completely different things. It’s completely possible to denounce genocide Joe and “nothing comes to mind” Harris and call not for less, but for more (and more radical) engagement. No way in hell, say, Uncommitted was “preaching disengagement,” and if you feel the need to lie about people for opposing genocide you should seriously reconsider your beliefs.

I’ve never seen anyone here (or anywhere on the Fediverse) actually preach disengagement. Pointing out that both sides suck isn’t preaching disengagement.

You can show your work on this right?

I never said anything about Trump. Biden did something, which is rare for his type, but it’s certainly not enough, and as long as it’s not enough people will keep flocking to the right because the right actually does things (bad things, to be clear, but that’s irrelevant).

I mean, he was president between Bush and Trump at the head of a Senate near-supermajority (at one point a supermajority). A lot of shit happening today could’ve been avoided if Obama had been less of an establishment ghoul; that is how missed opportunities work.

It’s good that Obama is stepping back into the spotlight.

It is, in fact, very bad. As is obvious from his long list of broken promises, Obama is part of the problem, and any advice he gives—indeed, the advice he’s now giving—won’t address what really needs to be done.

Why should we be concerned about neoliberal ghoul#3011’s “advice?” The Nazis keep winning because they, unlike neoliberal ghouls, actually get shit done.

Again with the messaging. The problem isn’t “messaging” it’s that you and your ilk insist on leaving the working class out to dry you capitalist ghoul.

I’m not sure which is more delusional, thinking that this would actually work or thinking that anyone affiliated with the United States (or the West in general) is ever going to be prosecuted by the ICC.

The US always has done heinous shit but it was always under the covers. Not blatantly out in the open.

Uh… Vietnam?
