The executive says they can be used in DC without restriction. That’s never been established in law and relies on an interpretation where the NG under the control of the federal government is not federalized. There’s currently a court case against the deployment and the stays thus far have not addressed Posse Comitatus though they have allowed them to stay in place.

So far the enemies of the United States seem to be litter and low-priority landscaping jobs.

No they can’t, they just have an easier time federalizing them. Posse Comitatus still applies.

Speculation about future lack of admin action is not a reason for defederation. Just do it when it happens. This is very obviously a personal spat raised to extremes.

If an instance had an open Nazi admin, the problems would be much more extensive than an edgy name. Unless you think antizionism itself should be purged from society, the problem with OP is the “murder” part, which is just edginess. A server tolerating edgy maximalism against an ideology associated with apartheid is not the same thing as tolerating Nazis. If you’re a co-admin with a Nazi, you’re a Nazi, while most of us have known people who we’d characterize as being on the right side of an issue but going overboard in their responses.

Do you think .world should defederate from any server where an admin has talked about guillotines or eating the rich? Or said “the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”? Or posted an image of a klansman hanging from a noose?

An edgy admin is not a server wide problem. World could solve their problems with their username with a ban. Users on AN weren’t systematically violating .world’s rules.

Then they can ban them too. Defederation is for server wide problems.

A ban from .world. No one else needs to ban OP for world’s rules.

That sounds like a perfectly good reason for a ban, not defederating an instance.

Jesus, I’d forgotten that the NG was still in DC. Seems like they’re already violating the law. They can’t police and there’s no “emergency”, so what’s the justification?

These seem totally inadequate. According to the Department of Agriculture, a complete meal is supposed to be “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and… one other thing”.

Your argument would have merit if these were simply amenities provided to all tourists, because they all pay the same fees. They don’t give Swifties free transportation. Or a real “regular guy” traveling to the city to actually visit the city. If FIFA wants a special perk for their attendees they should use some of their profits to purchase it.

Why would host cities be expected to give a freebie to fans for a for profit event? Do they do it for Taylor Swift concerts? For Superbowl attendees? If tourists or the event organizers aren’t paying for their rides, the residents are. Cities should stop doing what’s expected by for-profit companies and start doing what’s good for their people.

So he’s going to recuse himself from all future cases involving progressive groups, right?

The old timers have been itching to go mask off fash for so long. They could just maintain the illusion of judicial objectivity for a couple more years and be more effective to their rotten cause, but this guy has been floating around social events with Heritage ghouls for decades now and he wants to be free to join in with his friends.

Not punishing them hasn’t worked. Two Democratic administrations have decided that the people unjustly wielding government for self-enrichment, bigotry, and war no longer being in power had solved the problem and we shouldn’t get distracted with the past. And now we’re once again in a war in the Middle East for political purposes and seeing corruption and bigotry flourish. With some of the exact same characters and a whole new cast freshly emboldened because they think nothing they do holds any risk. And they’re using the powers built up during those prior sprees that were never dismantled to enact their goals.

That’s worked so well every other time we’ve removed criminals from power and just decided to move on and put the past behind us. When there are no consequences for corrupt use of power, you might as well take your shot and take what you can. The worst it ends is you just going back into private society and living the same life you would be otherwise. And then the next generation of fascists, warmongers, and corrupt officials see it and plan their path.

No one was injured in the early morning fire, but Justice wants to make a point: Chamel Abdulkarim’s target was the system of capitalism itself.

Huh, I didn’t see him calling for the workers to open the means of production. He very specifically was asking to be paid more money by a company for his services. Oh, is the US attorney saying that starvation wages are inherent to capitalism? Kind of giving it all away, eh?

Seriously. They pulled one over on us and had their time as most important people, and in that time fucked things up very badly. Now they’re just embarrassing. They could just disappear into a quiet life of luxury and we’d all be better off. It’s a lot better than they deserve.

I just want you to know, I’m downvoting you for your thorns, not your opinion.

I feel like that’s kind of the core of the birth rate panics across the whole age spectrum by the billionaires. None of these fuckers think 20 years in advance to care about a smaller future workforce, but what a low birthdate impacts immediately is the financial solvency of those potential childrearing parents. Fewer and later births means one fewer pressure they can use to exploit workers.

Why the fuck would anyone care about that?
