You get the downvotes, but in a way you’re right. With scotus ruling the next president could do whatever they want as an official act and there would be little to no recourse. Sure they could sue but that would almost definitely get tied up in courts for a long time. Mr. Robot is just covering his own ass. That ruling by scotus will be the downfall of the wrong people are able to take advantage of it.

They would be stupid not to. At this point it’s almost guaranteed he will win the presidency. Nobody would like to make an enemy of POTUS.

“Just covering his ass” this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that’s okay
These millionaires want all the power but refuse accountability. Why give him an out?
Cheems@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I never once said it was ok. You know I should personally ring him up and tell him that his choices aren’t so chill.

Because I explained the reason behind their decision?

Then why don’t you edit your post to make your meaning clearer? Because if everyone is misunderstanding, then it’s probably not all our fault.

A fascist accelerationist is poised for a possible win in the next election, and you’ve gone full Roko’s Basilisk and have decided to aid and abet the Fascist because if he wins, you want to be spared from his wrath.
We’ll let me tell you, the fascists will eventually come for you if they are allowed to take over, so you better drop the defeatism and rally for a second Biden term like your life depends on it. Plenty of people’s do.
Or just become a fascist out of cowardice, and the resistance will show you what real fear looks like when we find you, and I assure you, Trump won’t be there to save you.
So think long and hard about what the actual stupid decision would be here. Announcing your plan to enable ethnofascism in America isn’t exactly a demonstration of intelligence if you’re hoping to avoid conflict.

I did not decide shit. I just explained the reasoning behind Facebook’s actions. Now everyone is calling me a fascist. I’m a progressive FFS. You guys are out of your minds.

You literally just said it would be stupid not to support Trump.
So what are you? Stupid, or a Trump Supporter?
Either way, we can safely discard your opinion.

They’re all fucking fascists, Trumps just not part of the old agenda.

Fascism has a fairly concrete definition, and while it does exist on a spectrum, I’ll take the 15% fascist party over the 100% fascist party, hands down. Not a hard decision. 15 is closer to zero than 100, so we’re closer to the ideal.

Oh if we are using that definition, then none of them are
