Symbolic actions actively take up time and energy that could be devoted to material actions, particularly if they are as disorganized as this. That connection exists in your mind. There's nothing stopping you from skipping the rally and going in directly canvassing more. Also, referendums fall squarely within the democratic system which elevated the guy you're calling a dictator. It's time to remember Hitler got elected. Gerrymandering laws won't stop them throwing people into camps. This whole thought process is disjointed. These people are breaking the laws what you're voting on state constitutional referendums to change! Did you forget this is a federal system and they are breaking federal laws too?

It's truly comical that people talk about the No Kings Rally like it's going to decolonize the U.S. and then you look at their actual messaging and its Hillary Clinton-tier wine mom sloganeering from the DNC. You guys have gotten me reading Baudrillard again. That's how bad this is. I'm reading fucking Baudrillard. I don't even like Baudrillard dude.

China can now switch up their factory production lines without human intervention in the dark and you're inventing a somehow even less interesting way of masturbating to your phone

If this is using data from the feds then you may as well assume they ONLY went for clean people.

Ten years ago in Chicago you may recall a controversy about how dragnet surveillance on text messages in black neighborhoods was being used to label hundreds and hundreds of innocent people, many of them kids, as "gang-affiliated" because a friend-of-a-friend was arrested.

So extrapolate from that into our delightful DOGE era. Yeah none of those people did crimes and the cartels are run by the CIA anyways fuck this

This really raises a lot of questions about Factorio's story and worldbuilding 😔

No, he was a competent leader. Why on earth wouldn't he have counterintelligence operations against the CIA and others? Do you remember what they did to their own citizens during the war "just in case we need to do it to the Soviets and not just black people 😉". Are you advocating defenselessness against the torture regime of the USA?

Let's just say that Arslan Hiyadat was very impolite to me and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach
