Current US Policy:
If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Maybe we CAN afford universal healthcare. We just have to choose THAT instead of creating and subsidizing billionaires.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment.
This is the litmus test.
Learn from history.
Who will step up and fight?
Who will bend the knee and be complicit?

It’s fun watching people who don’t teach the ethics of scientific practice discover how many of our regulations exist because of Very Bad Things That Happened Before the Regulation Existed.

Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 by Alberto Brandolini, an Italian programmer, that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place.
