Therese fucking idiots fell for Eloina's propaganda and handed the Gazans to the butcher.

Now this author thinks they can mobilize to ask for cease fire? Good fucking luck you dumb ass.

How ironic would it be if the fat Cheeto deports them all to Gaza for protesting.

Who's going to enforce it? The House? The Senate? The supreme Court?

The law is just pieces of paper if the people who are supposed to enforce it don't want to.

Well now you've handed Gaza to the butcher and good luck if you want to protest without getting arrested.

Choosing not to vote is participation whether you like it or not. Your so called protest doesn't help change the system either. All it accomplishes is kill more Palestinians. It's a fucked up system and we should absolutely do everything we can to change it, but not voting doesn't absolve you of the excess deaths of innocents.

You have a chance to help people but you're too morally pure so instead you choose to plug your ears while they get murdered and tell yourself letting them die was the right choice morally.

If Trump wins and Israel ends up murdering everyone, I'll come back to this comment and remind you.

Here's the reality; we're all playing the trolley problem but it's with real people and unfortunately the only options are kill more people or kill less people. If you know that by not voting you're killing more people then you can't claim you're not responsible for their deaths.

If you really care go out and protest the system after the election. Choosing to let more people die now is a protest but you have blood on your hands.

I can't understand you with Trump's dirty dick in your mouth.

I know you're being sarcastic, but for those too young to remember; look up the tiki torch Nazi rallies from Trump's term.

I'm a person that would 100% buy a Tesla if it wasn't for him.

Wait what does it say about me if I instantly want one

Maybe we're strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that's sitting as unrealized gains.

Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn't mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can't sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we're supposed to feel bad for them but we're ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that's mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it

That's all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I'm fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc.. so they should pay their fare share.

Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately "thought" about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn't get an email though.

And yet, you still have some gay people out there supporting Trump. Leopards never run out of idiot faces to eat.

So they need to keep the victim's card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn't sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

I ask for one if I suspect they'll get my order wrong and I have a paper trail.

No, if enough people vote for socialist candidates and they pass a law that says all property now belongs to the state, then it'd be enforced just like any other current law.

The transition could be gradual. If we started nationalizing companies that get too big, and do that for a few generations then the state would own 99% of the economy.

If we keep raising property tax, you'd effectively get to the point where people are leasing the land rather than owning it.

You can't fix the system by letting Trump win. Focus on local elections and primaries.

You're making zero sense. What is your argument I don't even get it.

You see, "Other countries" includes the rest of the world. You build whatever fits the country, be it wind or solar or hydro. I don't understand what you're saying.
