The biggest problem with the Democrat party is that they are not able to sufficiently stop the Republican party from destroying American democracy and the global world order.

Today we have a sizeable chunk of the population who firmly believe that it is their religious and civic duty to ignore facts and make shit up. How are you supposed to have a "debate" with that?

It did not say MPG. It said "range". That's significantly different for a vehicle that has a fuel capacity over one gallon, plus it's only going to save that much in the best possible theoretical conditions.

These are things the citizens would only hear through the news, and Russia is currently a dictatorship, so they do not have a free press.

This is something that directly affects people and they can see it with their own eyes, so they know it's happening.

This is why freedom of the press is a cornerstone of democracies.

You also don't want them to be selecting for poor representation because they receive the outcome they desire - pushing off punishments.

Wow DO, is there anything you hate more than women? What they do to you?

In the meantime, I'm sure that the AI which "took their jobs" will be spending money to support the economy in their place.

So many of the books available today are also released in "graphic novel" form. People generally say "at least they're picking up books!", but the problem is that all of the actually literature has been converted into imagery and dialogue, and very little descriptive text. Gone are all of the words that were used in the original to convey specific meanings.

I think there's definitely a number of factors but I'm going to die on the hill of "graphic novels are a problem, not a solution." It's like practicing archery by playing a video game.

This is batshit nonsense. If you would pull your head out of Trump's ass for five minutes, you would notice that nobody outside of the US supports or even remotely respects Trump except for our enemies. You seem like the kind of person who thinks it's perfectly natural that the furiously racist south flipped to solid red over about ten years and the blues are still the racist bunch. You are saying "Trump Russia Collusion Hoax", do you even know who Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort or Roger Stone are? What complete horseshit.

You saw it with your own eyes and you are saying it didn't happen. All I'm going to leave you with.

You need to take some time and stop and think about just what it would take for you, personally, to look critically at what's going on with Musk. You can't seem to do it. Maybe you have too much invested in it. You are a flat earther on this. Take a breath, take some time and try to come up with what Musk would have to do for you to agree that he's out there doing Nazi shit because he's a Nazi. Musk is absolutely the guy whose wife walked in on him banging the babysitter and he said "it's not what it looks like" - and you're the one believing him, or rather allowing him to continue because allowing the reality to seep in would cause you too many problems otherwise. They call this all cult behavior for a reason.

If whatever you come up with keeps sounding too unreasonable, like he has to show up at your door with a signed confession and a Hitler mustache... then you simply are his Nazi bitch. Earlier you said "if I defend a murderer does that make me a murderer?" If you are defending one in a court of a law as a professional lawyer acting as a part of our justice system, then no, because we all agree that everyone has the right to stand trial and competent defense. However, if you are defending his actions, or defending him from the consequences of his actions outside the scope of professional duty, then yeah - you're the baddie. So change.

You are obviously living in the land of "the truth is what I feel like it is today". I really hope you turn this shit around (possibly start taking your meds again???) and when you come down off this high of "I'm right and every single one of the history books are wrong" it doesn't tear you apart too much, because you are *really* fucking the entire world over on it. The only allegiance you appear to have is to Elon Musk and Trump. Fix it.

I'm sorry, are you actually arguing that you cannot call people Nazis, but only Nazi-adjacent?

You were not "defending a Nazi from an accusation of murder". You were defending a Big Lie that the Nazi produced - saying "no Elon says it wasn't a Nazi salute so it must not have been a Nazi salute". It was obviously an intended Nazi salute, and all the excited white supremacists took it as exactly that. Elon said it wasn't as a Big Lie, because that's the point - he has the *power* to both do the bad thing and then straight up say "I didn't do that", because honesty is only a virtue for the conquered. Perpetuating the Big Lie in the face of evidence is absolutely Nazi *behavior*. Please stop it. I realize that someone upstairs was directly calling you a Nazi and yeah, I understand you saying "but I'm not!", but I think you should look at it a bit more like they are strongly suggesting some of your actions are this Nazi-adjacent, which no one who still values empathy wants to see from you. You can stop. Being a Nazi is a lot like being an asshole - we can stop the behavior, stop protecting the false narratives, and come back to humanity, at least as long as we haven't performed actual crimes we will be hunted down for.

Thing is, it isn't just Auschwitz which defined the Nazis. It was everything they did up to and including that point. I would hope that we can get to the point where we name, shame and blame these fascists in America before we get to the normalizing atrocities point. If people are not allowed to do that, then we're going to get to the normalizing atrocities point, and our surviving generations are going to be stuck with that. We will be the enemy of the free world until we are beat down enough to break us.

So there's ... no true Nazi? We cannot consider a Nazi to be a Nazi, because by nature they themselves will lie about it, but we cannot be absolutely certain because that would make us Nazis?

We know someone's an idiot because of what they do. We know someone's an ass because of what they do. We know someone's a Nazi because of...

Those will become assets that they own (with depreciation). Super rich people love putting their money into things they can get at least some back out of, rather than "giving it away" to others who won't produce cash when squeezed. Apples and oranges. Plus, I guess if you look at things from the right angle, wages are theft?
