-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

well it terrified me porky-scared

[–] [email protected] 110 points 5 days ago (7 children)

Okay lemme understand it.

"Terrorism" is defined as using violent means to scare or suppress the population.

But what he did made the population happy.

So... shouldn't it be considered that he provided a public service?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 days ago (7 children)

That is not the definition of terrorism.

Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

Yeah to be accurate the definition should probably spell out that this violent action comes from agents operating outside of a majority-backed monopoly on violence. Terrorist vs freedom fighter n all that.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately implied by the "criminal" part of the definition

Violent, criminal acts

As the violence enacted by the state is supposedly supported by the laws they legislate, they get to skirt out of terrorism designation by being definitionally unable to commit "criminal" acts when they commit violent ones

A very wide, very vague, very useful definition for a prosecutor.

I am a jaywalker, and this is my manifesto. We will not obey the little green man. The red hand will not contain us.

Every step we take is a middle finger to your order, a crack in your illusion of control. We disrupt your flow, we shatter your calm, and we dare your machines to stop us. Your brakes screech, your tempers flare, and your systems falter—all because we walked.

You call it unsafe. We call it liberation. You call it reckless. We call it revolution.

We are the chaos in your commute, the stress in your steering wheel, and the violence in your precious order.

We are jaywalkers. Your streets will never be safe again.

School shooting yesterday and it’s already old news

The bourgeois keep showing us who are they are and we never learn

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago

Not to mention the ongoing genocide they're completely ignoring.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

The only thing keeping Madison’s shooting relevant is this time the shooter’s not a man so people are doing a victory lap in agendaposting.

that would suggest the rich people are feeling terrorised rn

silver linings i guess

well i hope the jury have been fucked over by health insurance

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (3 children)

They will almost certainly ask them questions about biases regarding health insurance during jury selection and somehow manage to find 12 law-loving, boot-licking people who've never been screwed over by insurance, don't have any negative feelings towards insurance companies because of someone they know being screwed over. I mean it would really be as simple as finding a dozen retired boomers who held union jobs with good benefits all their lives, are retired on cushy amounts of retirement funds, and are absolutely law and order freaks.

nyc: is-this is this terrorism?

[–] [email protected] 65 points 5 days ago (1 children)

NYC couldn't spot terrorism if it crashed straight into a buulding.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's why they needed the second one.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The third one just did that on its own

Nothing to see there

anti-italian-discrimination All I'm saying is that terrorists are a lot browner than this kid

[–] [email protected] 49 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Does this mean he'll be tried as an "enemy combatant" with no rights instead of a criminal?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

Legally, no. But given the circumstances, who knows what they'll try.

Really showing their cards on this one.

C-class is a protected suit now? Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry. It is so systemic and prevalant people are afraid to go see a doctor over anything until it becomes catastrophic, and even then it's "please for the love of all do not involve and ambulance".

Americans are terrorized by the thought of the massive debt for just the ride to the hospitals and basic stabilization - more so than their disloged limbs and bleeding out from a car crash.

Personal medical piss off this last week -

Husband burnt himself on hot coffee at work going to his car to take his break. 2 2nd degree blisters. One about 4 inches. I pleaded with him to 1- tell his job for workmans comp or at least 2 - we have insurance go see urgent care and have a doctor look at it and get an opinions. He was afraid of the costs.

Then he was denied the HPV vaccine coverage while I'm on my 2nd of 3 doses and it's fully covered and it's a ridiculous $500 a dose that probably costs less than $10 to make. It's basically a cancer vaccine. You'd think it's cheaper than cancer treatment reguardless. Don't know if it's because he's over the 'recommended age' by a couple years (like the vax magically stops working then) or if because us-foreign-policy. I'm going to have to call and find out WTF the deny-defend-depose was for.
