Having a metropolis is not exempt from being under oppression.

Would you show pictures of skyscrapers in the middle east to compare its human rights?

When terrorist states label you a terrorist, you're probably doing something good.

You've been playing genocide enabler since before the inception of your country. Maybe, if you'd have thought enabling genocide enablers leads to people who might enjoy genocide sooner, the whole moral dilemma might not have happened in the first place?

But no, it's the people with a conscience to blame for this.

You played yourself.

When you understand 2nd ammendment was a law to oppress marginalized population by the majority who were able to afford it, you begin to understand it has always achieved its purpose. Like "freedom of speech" is mostly used to be racist.

Didn't many leaders in Europe come out and say they're not going to arrest him when he visits?

Europe is just whispering to tell him they're fine with whatever he does. It's not just a single man's self-reflection anymore when he's been told there will not be any consequences of his actions.

Words are weak, we'll see when you actually do something that's not bending the knee in some PR statement.

As the growth of Bluesky showed

If you've got marketing money, even Chinese spyware apps make it to the top. see Tiktok. So, growth is not always a good metric for what works.

Bluesky is just a pseudo decentralization platform that's built as a controlled opposition and will make the same moves as twitter when it reaches critical mass. It's got money to market itself as "different" and shareholders will soon want return of investment and there's much to be made off of being a government surveillance apparatus.

Nothing should be made off of ATProto.

the system is rigged to be two party only

If the system is rigged, why not protest for fix the thing that is rigged and not after the fact when the rigged thing isn't in your favor?

Your complacency is what's perpetuating this rigged system, yet you all think your "party" is going to fix it when they're both only looking out for themselves.

With subtle marketing posts like this disguised as a question from a 1day old account, they know what they're doing. And it obviously works.

Because country has PR people that decide what actions makes them look good or bad to their people and the whole world, and being favorable to people that exposes atrocities of their enemies is better than trading them away, which is true for almost like any other country?

Why aren't Chinese uighur/dissidents from Xinjiang in US prison and being used in prisoner/spy swap deals? Cause… um… idk… they expose China's atrocities and make China look bad?

I'll let you have all the time you need to figure it out, but I don't think propaganda fed brains know the difference.

Yes Russia sucks dick, China too, and so do US ass kissers.

Most people in the US don't give a shit as long as they're profiting off of it. That's already been made clear for most part in the last century. And when you say "supporting genocide is bad", you're made the bad guy.

Same goes for their excuses for "invading other countries", "meddling with other countries", "funding the extremists", and so on.

Most never really cared about stopping the genocide, it was clear both sides wanted their own flavor of it. Same as all their foreign policies.

 
 

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, officially titled “The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,” was a study conducted by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) from 1932 to 1972. It involved nearly 600 impoverished African-American in Tuskegee, Alabama, with the aim of observing the effects of untreated syphilis on the human body. The men were not informed about the true nature of the experiment and were deceived by the researchers.

The unethical nature of the study came to light in 1972 when it was exposed by a whistleblower, Peter Buxtun. The study had a lasting impact on public health efforts and contributed to a deep-seated mistrust within the African American community towards medical professionals and government health initiatives.

TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.
