a government agent, who murdered a civilian for peacefully protesting, flying a dont-tread-on-me flag is such a perfect distillation of the maga ethos it almost feels fake

The operative part of "Don't Tread on Me" was always "on me," not "don't tread."
Similar to how the keyword in slogans such as "Fuck Your Feelings" and "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings" was always "your," not "feelings."

We need to get away from big tech in our current climate. Imagine the local GAA club offering open source cloud services, mesh networks etc. Credit unions with a local jellyfin service so you don't need netflix etc. Would transform tech make it local, accessible & more robust.

It's incredible how much of this stuff is just out in the open, but because Trump said "Russiagate hoax!" 5000 times, the media was brainwashed into treating it like a nothing story instead of one of a ten alarm scandal

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.
