Tell the government to bankroll IDs tied to SSNs for all citizens. If they won't do that (and they aren't, if you're going off the SAVE Act proposal), they're not honest about election integrity -- and neither are you.

"You're a snowflake," said the person too fearful to use their account to post their opinions. Pot, kettle.

The economy is worse for non-asset-holding-class demographics, and the majority of the populace reads at a child-like level, so your proposal is more sound in theory than it is in practice (in relation to actually reading policy or legislation).

and they will use this data to help tie your purchase history to dynamic pricing within the next couple of years, so that they can squeeze even more money out of you. I'll shop with a mask on and use anonymous gift cards if need be, until they of course ban both of those "for your safety".

" Doubt you’ll find a retired Republican president worth more than any Democrat. " That will obviously change when Trump leaves office. To say otherwise would be pure bullshit on your part.

Enshittification implies WhatsApp hasn't been hot garbage since it was acquired by FB/Meta.

Mussolini himself defined fascism as corporatism.

This is an attempt to pivot to Asia (much as Obama tried to do at the tail end of his second administration) -- in this case the move is to appease Russia with the hopes of driving a wedge into the Sino-Soviet alliance as the US begins to ramp up the war cry against China. I don't think it will be a successful strategy as I think geographical proximity will keep Russia leaning more towards China than the US, but this is the underlying logic. As regards Trump, I do think people assign to him a lot of more sophisticated thinking than he has ever exhibited -- he always likes the strongman archetype (he has shown love towards Putin, yes, but also Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Viktor Orban, & others) and he is very easily swayed by anyone who flatters him. All it appears to really take is to talk money, give him compliments, and then feed him the policy/rhetoric you want and he will go out there and champion it.

A lot of vendors don't take AmEx, but "most" would be incorrect.

"Anyone who disagrees with my uninformed opinion must be a Russian troll" is something I would have thought died in online discourse two election cycles ago. Must be a lost reddit user.

"I supported this guy until he supported politics I don't agree with" is about as flimsy as building a house out of balsa wood on the Tampa coastline.

You're neglecting to remind yourself of the fact that slashdot is overwhelmingly populated by middle-aged neoliberals who learned nothing from the failures of past wars that the US started (whether through lies, false flag events [also lies], or through deliberate antagonization to create a desired outcome that can justify violence). rsilvergun is the most well-known because he is the loudest vessel, but there is no shortage of them on here.
