Comment Re:Fuck Newsfeed and Fuck Facebook (Score 2) 55

having to see over and over again one of my friends popular post, where I am more interested in what is happening with my more boring friend.

This is one of the things that eventually forced me to shutdown Facebook for good. I got sick and tired of seeing the same posts over and over. Then I'd switch from "most popular" to "newest", and what do know? There were tons of posts that I never saw because Facebook declined to include them in my feed.

Just let me see what I want to see, not what you think I should see.

There's already constitutional processes in place for removing offending parties from the executive and legislative branches

You mean the one where politicians decide if they're going to hold other politicians accountable? Yeah, that works as well as the bullshit that is Internal Affairs where the police decide if they're going to charge themselves with a crime.

No, what would be cool is if when the supreme court rules a law unconstitutional, they should also file contempt of court charges against the politicians who passed it, and they should be impeached, then removed from office and made to pay a fine. There you go, all nice and legal like, without firing a shot.

That would be great if SCOTUS wasn't part of the same corrupt system. However, even with your solution, it still involves police / military coming with guns to remove people from office.

Depends on the situation. If they decide to make themselves the government, definitely not. If they decide to actually honor their oath to defend the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, then it could turn out quite well. What do you find wrong with them demanding that politicians who violate the Constitution step down or be removed from office? How is that any different from a politician being removed from office for say committing murder or rape? The only "issue" is that it would be most of the politicians going to jail - but again, given how poorly they've run this country for almost a century and how low their approval ratings are, that's not a bad thing either.

By the way, this group-is-everything mentality that you disparage (perhaps because you take such a culture for granted) is exactly the reason why Scandinavian countries rank among the highest in the world in terms of standard of living, literacy, overall happiness, quality of life, etc.

Great, lets start deporting the useless members of our society to those Scandinavian countries and those of us who have useful skills and the motivation to work can have a drastically improved quality of life.
