If you say “Gitmo Bay” three times in the mirror, a dark universe Obama appears and snatches you.
Comment on They're trying to charge Luigi with terrorism! Imagine that!

Rumor has it, if you say, “deny, defend, depose” in your phone 3 times, you’ll get charged with terrorism too. Hopefully you’re an American citizen or else it’s off to Guantanamo bay for you.

Does the dark universe do “enhanced interrogation” too, or the opposite?
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 days ago
They just call it “interrogation.”
(I just felt I had to add the “dark universe” because here in ours he’s comparatively pretty fucking alright when compared to the current leadership of the states. I criticised the US government back in his day as well, but the president isn’t a magical dictator and the longer it goes the more I miss him.)

The unconstitutional Patriot Act says they can do that to citizens too, as long as they’re suspected of terrorism. That’s why everything is “terrorism” these days, because under that accusation they’ll strip you of your constitutional rights and do whatever the fuck they want. It’s tyranny.

Still, as a person not interested (usually) in agreeing with my counterparts, notice how this is a “good guy with a gun” situation. So maybe militia movement has a point. They just don’t know how to use their correctness in one part of society’s fabric, but that’s up to those who know those other parts. Cooperation and collaboration, all that.
And almost any “good guy with a gun” can be called a terrorist formally. It’s an arbitrary separation.
So maybe gun rights really are human rights.
You’ve probably noticed how in any group the best decisions are made when every opinion is respected, and if it’s incomprehensible, made comprehensible with good and kind effort, and where aggression and expulsion are minimized.
It’s the same in politics.

Lefty here, yes, that is what we, including George Orwell, have been saying for years.

Yes, my aunts, uncle and cousin live in a country reproducing “Animal farm” the last 6 years, with the end goal of being occupied and turned into a reservation. That book is more like reality than many would think.
