Children with disabilities will be sent to institutions and "prevented from reproducing.* Learning disabilities too. Many will face forced sterilization simply for chronic disease.

Oh, so that’s what they meant by making America great again.

Of course they’re coming for the right to strike.

Forced strikes, aka when you’re fired.

Once again I ask you not to glorify war criminals.

I mean the pyramids were wholly improductive multi-decade undertakings, so that’s not making the point you think it’s making.

Should go on !actuallyinfuriating.

It wouldn’t even make sense to say “reclaim” because it’s not like the meaning of “Nazi” ever changed. It means what it’s always meant and will likely always meant; it’s just that what it means is fucking abhorrent so people don’t tend to want to be described by it.

So that would be the lower limit.

Why would it be the limit? Couldn’t you keep stuffing more and more energy and get a bigger black hole? Also would such a blackhole move at the speed of light?

I mean it’s not inconceivable for “nice” masters to be let off lightly during a slave uprising, so that tracks to an extent.

Obligatory this is not medical advice, but what happens if you “say,” for example, “eat shit, Sarah, I don’t care about you”?

What?

On one hand, yes, but on the other hand you can denounce one war criminal without propping up another.

It has nothing to do with bigotry and everything to do with unaccountable authority.

I mean, they’re two sides of the same coin. Authority capitalizes on bigotry (and division, more broadly) to avoid accountability.

But I’m charmed by how they describe Japan as a nation where omnipresent surveillance is still not considered normal. This wasn’t the case with the EU 5 or 10 years ago.

Fair enough.

I mean, one look at Japanese work culture should be all demonstration you need for that.

The only reason Japan isn’t in the same boat as America and Europe (yet, far-right parties are slowly rising in popularity) is that they never got on the immigration train, so their population is mostly homogenous and there are few things for bigots to complain about. Of course, this came with a price; the dismal state of Japan’s industry, academia and economy compared to other first-world countries is at least partially due to their rejection of immigrants. Of course, they can’t keep this up forever, which is why they’ve been recently allowing more immigrants in, fueling the rise of the far-right. Unless they can change rapidly, what Japan is “enjoying” now is the calm before the storm. “Still has something appearing to be a democracy” is how the EU was described five years ago.

And that’s pretty cool, seems like a culture best suited for modern challenges.

I mean, looking at the Lost Decades it seems to be quite the opposite. Sometimes it helps to take things slow, but other times you really have to think “come on get on with the times already”.

In case that wasn’t clear, I’m cheering on the hopefully impeding dissolution of the US here. If America becomes a bunch of small to medium-sized state Great Satan might finally stop spreading death and destruction on the other side of the world. The more dysfunctional the Union becomes, the more states are going to want out, so yeah.

this is a bad sign.

Some of us out there consider it a very good sign, but yeah potato potato.

Wow, two hours in and nobody taking a dig at the Catholic Church yet.

China is the answer. Nobody does anything about North Korea for the same reason China doesn’t invade Taiwan.
