That's a lot of projecting.

There is only really one thing to be said here: the Pentagon and the current administration continues its campaign of blatant corruption, scorning its enemies with absurd doublespeak and blatant abuse of the court system, enabled by a Congress which has fully abdicated its duty as part of its loyalty to the current President King.

What is there to talk about? How we wish that was different? How the media being captured by oligarchs is a main enabler of the current oligarchy? How what Mark Kelly said was clearly not sedition and that use of this term is yet another example of "flooding the zone" and other disinformation tactics by the administration, to deflect from their own crime and rile up their base?

Great talk, haven't heard any of that before!

Seems like you had some valid gripes then closed the door behind you complaining that no one else has a perspective. Notwithstanding, the good news is that there wasn't successful deplatforming of the video (no idea if there was a takedown request). There's room to discuss Mark Kelly's service bonafides, whether or not there was precedent, potential copycat petty tyrants, the attention management away from other outstanding scandals, and that this is yet another international embarrassment published by state media of an ally. But it's not a web framework clone nor a dusty, naval gazing essay by pre-cryptofascism pg so off to oblivion goes this post.

I am not complaining no one has a perspective, I am complaining that they are both rote and uninteresting.

This site is to foster curiosity and learning. Sure, [the action discussed in the article]* is a bonafide master class in fascism, and we could all learn about the futility of checks and balances when sufficiently corrupted by money and propaganda and outside influence.

But none of that will happen on an article merely describing an instance of fascism. Instead, some people will say "wow, this doesn't make sense", others will say "it is nakedly corrupt", and maybe a few from the cult will pop by to start a flame war.

Can you really disagree? The discussion is incredibly uninspired. Not a single interesting link or new mode of thought is posted in 59 comments.
