Reproducing is a way to gain power. On paper, saying smart people need to reproduce is a good goal, but we all know that the zip code of a child is a stronger indicator of their success than many other factors. But yeah if you start saying "only x race should reproduce because x race is smarter" then that's bad. Republicans are anti abortion and contraception so that they can increase power, too. Having more uneducated people keeps them in power.

Its all about power. Making people racist and abusing that racism for their own is benefit is all part of the distraction. Racism is bad especially when it causes divide and conquer. But I also think we should focus on how those things are tools, and look for ways to prevent the goals that those tools enable.

I've been able to find stuff about his mom's dad being pro apartheid which is obviously bad but is not "literally the Nazis". And that his dad claims to say apartheid is bad but said some sus stuff over the years.

Even if he didn't do the work himself and sounded like a complete idiot in that leaked Twitter meeting, he did objectively advance society. I think the world is better off with things like Tesla Amazon Uber and DoorDash. Musk outlived his usefulness long ago though and is a net negative now to the point of almost undoing all the good he may had had a hand in creating. Society can survive this level of capitalism if it prevented generational wealth. The incompetency compounds and the inevitable conclusion has finally revealed itself.

Felons can't vote, seems like a privilege to me.

Voting is a privilege that most people don't use. Yes Republicans are looking for ways to suppress votes, and I don't think you should need an ID to vote, but the idea that getting an ID is hard, is preposterous. You need an ID for like fucking everything.

In California:

It costs thirty dollars.

Who wants to vote, but doesn't have thirty dollars? That's like three bananas.

And there are lower prices if you have low income.

And homeless people get them for free.

And ages 62+ get them for free.

The point you're replying to is that when called out on their bullshit, they will revert to their talking points. Being a hypocrite is unrelated.

Popping the telecom infra doesn't automatically grant access to Signal messages.

So even then, the union people might be making more than the union minimum, so the non union person might still be making less than an average union person while not getting any union benefits.

You're acting like you found some defensible loophole but your cageyness means you know it won't work if the facts were laid out before jury selection.

The question isn't about "the" law it means "any" law. The judge is asking you if you're going to enforce the law for which they are under trial, not if you're here to enforce the constitution. If that is what you wanted to do you would vote guilty and let them appeal to the Supreme Court because they are the constitution people, not you.

Say No, but provide that elaboration, and see what happens. You're still lying, dude.
