They are not exempt from guilt, but the that is not the point. The point is that this is not just yet another example of random police brutality and abuse of their powers. This is oligarch dictated suppression of dissidents.

It is different and much more serious than just “cops being abusive assholes”.

Because he was controlled by people who were all of these things. He was an easily controlled moron.

Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.

All of the former allies of the US hates the US now. With good reason.

Also Russia loves the US now. With good reason.

Don’t be so harsh on yourself. You are most definitely not as stupid as US Republicans.

So you have no idea which OS you are running? Well, that’s certainly a choice.

Nethack forever.

As with anything these techbro oligarchs comes up with. Unfortunately they do have the power to bend reality to their twisted wills.

If they keep pushing their cloud renting models it will last forever.

If you stop in the middle of a highway you absolutely are at fault.

The tv show box sets often have commentary tracks, which is something you will be hard pressed to find even in pirated versions, so they still have their advantages.

Have you ever been to a tankie instance here on lemmy? You should try and broaden your horizons, because it sounds like you are arguing from ignorance.

“I’ve been told this [obviously made up strawman]. So which is it, the [obviously made up strawman] or the other thing?”

Hmm, difficult choice there, buddy.

No, but they are prohibitively expensive. Just like hdds will be.

The OP is about L.A, which is not a country but a city. So the correct question would be “is there a city where there are more homicides than traffic fatalities?”, and pdqcp has already provided you with one example.

The headline in the OP is clearly wrong. But you want to be lied to because it provides an optimistic message? That seems even more bootlicking than the strawman you presented in your comment.

That one-third of the population who gets to choose who rules the entire country.

And it most definitely is a Republican value. That is the result of tax cuts, you get worse public services.
