...Obviously? Big Oil has the government by its balls. A lot of our GDP has to do with oil.

The justice system needs to refocus to rehabilitation first. This punitive system benefits nobody. Of course making people live in grey cells where all their humanity is stripped from them doesn't make them better. It was never supposed to.

The Finnish model is obviously more successful and beneficial to the community at whole.

I want houses 100% decommodified. If decommodified housing is a charter violation (it's not) then it's time to change the damn charter. We're not the states bud, I'm not gonna treat it like some holy document.

Just curious, do you know what the "ml" in "Lemmy.ml" stands for since you're defending landlords?

Trauma therapy helped me a lot, speak for yourself. CBT is still over applied in my opinion, though, when other therapies are appropriate.

Politics is a popularity contest after all. That's how Joe Rogan's moronic "politics" got everywhere. At least Hasan has an idea what he's talking about much of the time and does on-the-ground journalism.

At this point I don't know that the people that would say no are even still there. He's purging the government of dissidents. We have to prepare for the possibility that they will go through with it.

You can't think like this anymore. We are dealing with fascists. We are bordering Germany pre-WWII. Any nonviolent action that will give us an advantage in a theoretical conflict is necessary.

Nope. There is still a big stigma. I report nothing.

Haha yeah sure, unlike Tesla that has already remotely locked (and unlocked!) vehicles at their whim.
