He actually came to the US on asylum from M-13, who were threatening him and his family. El Salvador is the one country on Earth he can’t legally be sent to.

Well, at least they’re asking

No system is perfect, any attempt at justice will either end with dangerous, guilty people walking free or innocent people incarcerated. The Justice system needs reform but there’s no easy solution.

Sure, but at least if they’re wrongly incarcerated you can free them and pay damages. You can’t undo death.

The death penalty is ethically wrong to me because you can’t trust the system 100%, even in the best case. Death row inmates have been exonerated with additional evidence, or just better processing of existing evidence, or other reasons. Unless the judicial system is 100% accurate (which, spoiler, it neither is nor possibly can be), you introduce the possibility of executing innocent people, which should be abhorrent to everyone.

Okay? But what are you talking about

Then you’d think maybe they’d have a problem

Who is “they”?

I don’t gather your meaning.

There is a drastic increase in autism cases, the cause is “increased testing for autism”.

Republicans argue liberal judges are blocking Trump’s agenda, while Democrats say courts are striking down illegal orders.

Well, when their agenda is composed primarily of illegal orders…

1. Not everyone who opposes Trump and Musk is a Democrat, especially on Lemmy. Many of us are leftists who despise Democrats, just less than we despise MAGA fascists.

2. Don’t think a lot of cybertrucks are being driven by those on the left, they weren’t released until well after Musk showed his true colors. Every cybertruck owner I’ve personally encountered has been solidly MAGA.

I think by “Let ‘law enforcement’ deal with them” they’re referring less to the cost than to the functional unreliability.

It’s easy to say the right thing on this because he knows he’ll never have to pay a dime more than he does right now.

And it’s easy to make sweeping statements based purely on hypotheticals and your own assumptions. In our reality, he’s one of the biggest advocates for raising his own taxes.

We should probably also add language to that oath clarifying that they need to defend it not only from foreign enemies, but domestic ones as well.

being reformist rather than revolutionary, which places them in the center-left imo.

I disagree. That’s more to do with pragmatics than actual political alignment. Historically, leftist revolutions tend to get co-opted by corrupt individuals; the dictatorship of the proletariat has very little to prevent it from devolving into just regular dictatorship. A lasting leftist government needs to be constructed very carefully, which almost certainly can’t be accomplished overnight.

Reformist communists want the same end goal as revolutionary communists, they just see a longer, gradual approach as being more likely to be successful and stable in the long term.

Holding them accountable is also the only way we get real change

Helping to elect the opponent who even more enthusiastically supports genocide does less than nothing to hold anyone accountable.

If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same. Two or more though, and you’re net positive.

Mixture of experts is the future of AI. Breakthroughs won’t come from bigger models, it’ll come from better coordinated conversations between models.

Gotta stop going high. We know their tactics, we know how their brains work. We need to stop trying to devastate them with irrefutable facts, they don’t care. Turn their own methods against them, destroy them in their language. The left has better trolls and meme lords, let’s use them.

Probably wouldn’t do that, capitalists are heavily invested in Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities (SLABS), basically the same as '08’s famous Mortgage Backed Securities but backed by student loans instead of mortgages. Whatever they would do in regards to student loans would be much more malicious against those who owe them

Don’t give them ideas
