Well, the court does. This is coming from Carr, who’s been trying to make headlines for his gubernatorial run.

In Georgia, where this is happening, they also consider not having a phone to be probable cause for arrest.

This is in Georgia. The state attorney general thinks it’s probable cause for arrest to not have a cellphone, or to have a dumb phone. They’re turning the state into a digital open air prison.
And just like cop city, this is a test for nationwide rollout.

Not at all. I’m talking about direct democracy.
I think the fastest route is to set up parallel institutions to provide services the current government cuts. As they cut services, they delegitimize their authority. As we provide what services we can, we claim that legitimacy.


There’s no concentration of power. The people are the enforcers.


Which is why I said it needs to be paired with strict enforcement to prevent that. The temptation is too strong for those in power to rig elections.


Sure. That’s a challenge. But so is securing our current elections. I think we need government funded secure vote devices provided to every citizen, with optional voting systems set up at libraries and other government buildings. Smart phone style devices connecting to a secure government network, with no other mixed functionality and tamper resistant.
Not a popular opinion, but I think we need to consider getting rid of anonymous voting to ensure the most auditable voting. But it must be paired with strict laws further outlawing voter intimidation & retaliation.


The solution is to remove the power from leaders. We have the infrastructure to support digital liquid democracy systems. Give people the option of direct democracy or pledging their voting power to a leader or party, but give the people the power to remove that pledge at any time. No kore leaving corrupt leaders in power until the next election.
For a people who have mastered near instant communication, we remain too committed to representative democracy.


Israel is collapsing, and their leaders have already vocally declared their willingness to invoke the Samson option. They will destroy the planet, if they are not allowed to complete their genocide.


I really feel like they used to hire a better caliber of astroturfers. You think you can pull off pretending to be anti-imperialist, while pushing imperialist narratives about China and downplaying the threat of nuclear war?
No wonder you’re banned from leftist instances.


Such childish naivety of the threat of nuclear annihilation is a threat to the continued existence of our species. You need to grow up.


Don’t know. They’re not making the claim you’re accusing them of, so it doesn’t matter either way.


You people really don’t understand the threat of nuclear annihilation anymore.


Bullshit. I’ve never heard any Marxist-Leninist support Chinese imperialism, nor unwilling to criticize China. They just don’t play along with made up propaganda like the west’s narratives on Tiananmen Square nor the Uyghur radicalization.


I don’t like it, but it seems like Israel is increasingly telegraphing their willingness to use nuclear weapons, and everyone’s scared and throwing the Palestinians under the bus.


“Putin’s playbook.” I’m pretty sure any country would respond similarly to troops and missile deployments at their border.
Look at a map of Russian vs US bases across the globe, and tell me who’s playbook it is.


She’s trying to avoid making enemies in the party establishment, because she has been setting up for a presidential run.
But she’s going to have to sell her soul, and compromise everything she claims to believe in, in order to get there.


The Zionists are elevating these far right antisemites in order to equate them with any criticism of Israel. It’s part of a campaign to do damage control within the US political system because everybody’s turning against Israel.


This is hasbara that equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
Send her back, to face the consequences for her treason.
