He’s everyone’s problem.
No, no, no, haven’t you seen the posts all over? He’s America’s problem and it’s their mess to clean up.
There’s absolutely no global impact on the rise of far right ideology and it’s certainly not trending up in pockets around the world.
The puppet regime that is the Trump administration isn’t an indicator of a larger global oligarchy problem at all.
It has been you, from the jump, shitting on others
Nope, just OP.
the rhetoric from the comic that I read
I question your reading comprehension and understanding of context. The comic, as well as OPs comments don’t fit your narrative at all.
You have layers of wrong going on here and I think you’re just too defensive at the moment to see what’s going on.
You disagree and attack me as being “defensive” for (checks notes) defending my position.
As for my original question, the OP sarcastically hints at the need for action beyond what’s been taken. I call out armchair critics who like to criticize others for not doing what they themselves won’t do.
It’s awful easy to risk someone else’s freedom and safety.
The assumption is the value you assigned, so it’s your assumption.
This is the ally you seem to want
You’re wrong. I have no use for those who insult and degrade those who’ve taken any action of any sort.
The rhetoric from OP in this comic is to deride the character who made an effort as “not being enough”.
The ally I want is one who draws this comic but with the last panel having community stepping up to bolster that individual and encourage them to continue resisting with their support. A comic that shows how the everyday people are stronger together when they support each other.
I’ll take allies that are willing to try what they’re capable of over those who lift themselves up by shitting on others for “not doing enough”.
Sure, I love making them, I’ll make a lot more!
I’m sure you will. I imagine they feed your superiority complex without actually engaging in any meaningful action.
Pot calling the kettle hominem buddy, see you in the next one :)
Using and ad hominem after being called out for an ad hominem? Bold move. However, you won’t see me at all. That’s one of my favorite things about blocking people!
Enjoy your circle jerk!
lol, go back to your pithy comics couched in the guise of social commentary.
Seems like that and ad hominem arguments are what you’re good at.
I just assume you and others like you would rather fall into the trap of division than foster unity to go after the select few who actually pull the strings and manipulate events.
I agree in part though; you all deserve what your going to get and it will be really unfortunate.
I didn’t assume. You did, as did the other commenter. I asked a question.
They talk about what? Doing the same thing as others and then making smug comics that cut down others as not doing enough.
Six years and this is where the worlds at. Seems you’re just as ineffective as everyone else. Good thing you post edgy comments though, that’ll turn the tide.
I’m probably not the person you should be asking that question to.
You’re exactly who I should be asking that question to; smugly superior writing cute little comics to attack and divide people.
If narcissistic triangulation was a meal you shoved it down your gullet in one go and asked for more.
Oh, that’s what we’re doing? Okay.
Why do you assume they are?
nothing else can be done.
Why aren’t you doing it?
I think you’re underestimating ebikes and scooters
I think you’re underestimating humanity and where the technology may evolve too.
Like OPs example, the Romans thought lead cups were fine but how many 100s of years later do we balk at that because of what we know now.
I wasn’t referring to this exact moment but taking the long view of potential outcomes.
From a much more anecdotal perspective, I regular walk my dogs at a dog park with a bike trail alongside. The number of throttle controlled? e-bikes has gone up and pedal bikes have gone down. It also seems like 1 in 4 or 5 are tricycle types.
TP-Link has been alleged to have National Security concerns due to its ties to China.
You can read for yourself but when this was in the news ~1 year ago I looked into it. To me it seems like a combination of a smear campaign started by Netgear and bad actors from the Republican Party within the government.
Edit: This is a pretty good write up that explains it without straying too far into opinion.
I’m aware. As I said in the linked comment, I’m more concerned about the data being collected than I am about being recorded.
In the long term people need to control the collection and use of the data and establish some significant penalties for misuse. It would be nice if, in the US, we could establish that any data gathered by ALPRs is covered under the 4th amendment and require a warrant for starters.
I also think the data should be required to be stored by the government agency utilizing it, no third parties.
That’s not really change though. At least, not in America.
In America that’s business as usual.
I’m not misunderstanding you. I think your struggling to follow your own conversation.
You brought up FACE, an organization concerned with Title IX enforcement specifically.
The other user explained they are given due process (under Title IX) and explained (poorly) that private colleges are not bound by the same rules if they don’t take government funding, expressed as government run.
Then you shifted it to some conversation about basic human rights and questioned what not being government run has to do with.
Which is why I shared the federal government page outlining Title IX exemptions.
Due process is covered under the 5th and 14th amendments, not Title IX.
Remember this:
Where you cited a Wikipedia article about an organization concerned with Title IX to justify your claim they’re not given “due process”.
It’s either bad faith or stupidity. Either way, I’m done engaging with it.
Then I’d imagine you struggle daily with the English language.
I would agree with them. We’d hold the same belief.
You want to believe I’d disagree because you disagree.
That’s the difference between us. I don’t need someone to agree with me to be allied in a shared cause, I just won’t tolerate cutting down others because their efforts, whatever they may be, are deemed not enough. It’s akin to purity testing and it does no one any good.
