I mean, I have hobbies, but I mostly just post rambling diatribes about politics to get them out of my head. If that's your thing, I'm sorry.
130 million white men in America, so 97% of white men is 126.1 million men. With 378 mass shootings, that means that each one was committed by an average of 333,598 men working in collaboration. Frankly, I'm not sure what you can even do against that level of organization.

Conservatism is always international at the top, because they are the ones who manufacture states for the purpose of dividing the working class. They know that borders are bullshit, that they have more in common with a Saudi prince or Russian oligarch than with an American cashier.

They are exactly conservatives. Conservatism was never a real ideology, it has always been a trick to get stupid poor people to support evil rich people by manufacturing rage-bait distractions and attacking random innocent people so that there is no choice but to react to them.

That's frankly superhuman, you deserve some kind of award.

I don't remember names, this was decades ago, I just remember the anger at the outcome of the trials, and I know that trials would not have occurred without a prosecution (they were criminal, not civil, trials.)

Strangely, they mostly did not admit to this in court.

Yeah, I mostly excluded them because I wasn't paying much attention to politics in the 80s, and it was easier to make a smaller claim than to go do a bunch of research to substantiate the larger one.

So there is now a precedent to revoke those pardons.

Not that the Democrats are good, but they are at least competent managers of the status quo rather than psychotic entitled man-children who actively reject reality.

...just in time to take credit for the turnaround and use the political capital from that to fuck everything up again.
Trump kind of broke from that this time though, he went hard from day 1 instead of spending six months taking credit for Biden's work first.

America has played this game consistently since at least the 2000s. They elect Republicans, who fuck everything up, then elect Democrats, who are immediately blamed for how shitty things are. They work to fix things while the Republicans actively sabotage them, and then a Republican is elected...

Like, the Democrats literally just rolled over on the shutdown in order to save the filibuster, a tool used almost exclusively to block them from being effective.
Sure, there are good people who are Democrats, they just don't have any power inside the party.

Don't get me wrong, Obama appointed justices who would agree with that ruling, but prosecutions did technically happen.

Bankers were prosecuted. Just, all were found innocent by the courts except the one who pleaded guilty. They all just testified that they couldn't remember doing any crimes, and since the courts have set the standards for proving rich people crimes at impossible levels, that got them off.

Democrats had the chance to fix that in 2021, chose to do nothing.

No it hasn't. The Democrats have an economic agenda that better serves the populace than the Republican one, but they are elitists through and through. They are explicitly and determinedly opposed to populism.

Not just low, but restricted to people who can just take a day off from work to participate. Almost like they want a particular outcome and work to exclude voters who might cut against their goal.

I mean, it would be pretty stupid to trust a conservative on the subject of bringing pedophiles to justice. Pedocon theory exists for a reason.

CNN was bought by a Trump backing billionaire a couple of years back, and it's concern for accuracy has largely been replaced with a concern for truth-agnostic impartiality.

Because the courts are grossly corrupt as a consequence of a half-century long project by the rich to ensure that next time they get a Nixon, the courts wouldn't get in his way.

Could do without the addition of a private acupuncturist, but not so much that I would resist in any way.

The media is owned by members of the capitalist class. Reporters and the like can do their best, but in the end the owners decide which voices are amplified and which are silenced.

Lets not forget that Orwell himself worked for the British Ministry of Information, and that 1984 wasn't based on speculation about the future, but on his direct personal experience of working for the government.
