My favorite geography of Earth, tbh.

This Land is Mine

I agree. The Pacific Northwest of the US / Pacific Southwest of Canada is far “closer to god” than the Levant.

Are there any cases of people successfully suing the Justice Department or ICE for wrongful detention and violation of constitutional rights as a U.S. citizen?

Edit: Never mind. Found some examples.

• Villanova Law Review
• American Immigration Council
• National Immigrant Justice Center
• American Civil Liberties Union

Authoritarianism doesn’t flourish in times of economic prosperity, historically. Techno-feudalists of the contemporary era require economic despair of the populace to provide “the solution” of their supremacy.

is the price of sovereignty too high?

No. It’s not. I say this as a natural-born U.S. citizen.

It’s academic at this point, and probably doesn’t need to be said on a social media site like Lemmy, but free and open societies cannot trust the United States government anymore. It is now, and has been since 2016, firmly in the category of every other authoritarian pariah aggressor state on this shithole planet.

Until my fellow citizens and I conduct a 2nd American Revolution to depose the christo-fascist techno-feudalists, the U. S. A. should be considered an existential threat to your country wherever you are, just like the CCP, Putin’s regime, the Kim dynasty of dictators of the DPRK, the Islamo-fascists in Iran, the Saudi royal family, <insertAuthoritarianDouchebagsHere>, etc.

No state on Earth is an individual’s “friend”, to be clear; the pariah states will likely seek to kill you faster and more unscrupulously.

I’d walk for 6 months to anywhere but the “holy” land.

Fuck the “holy” land.

“stopping” “stooping” to their level

So they call their middle managers “POs”

Asking in earnestness, has the Rayleigh Effect been an actual subject of debate? I thought it was pretty much settled that nitrogen atoms in the atmostphere reflect light in the blue portion of the spectrum.

opposing the system is not worth the cost

Il faut cultiver notre jardin.

Both threads of reasoning can be true simultaneously; the veracity of one doesn’t negate the veracity of the other.

I thank god everyday that I was made to be an atheist.

Nah. It’s underlying assumptions are wrong.

My conflict internally is between “Il faut cultivere notre jardins.” and “If you don’t turn on to politics, politics will turn on you.”
