@PurpCat ok but he's right
source: i own 84 solar panels and 40kWh of batteries
wish he'd stop being an idiot about mastodon though

@WandererUber @PurpCat there are some portions that i disagree with, like the fact that a lot of energy is just made with nonrenewables right now so electric cars ain't as green as he thinks, plus there's significant energy and pollution expended to make batteries and solar so they're not completely faultless, and right to repair on cars riddled with proprietary software is a challenge, but otherwise unfortunately yes, he's generally right on both counts
@WandererUber @PurpCat i can't really support people who want more government in the face of what's been going on. "the boot is ok when it steps on the people i don't like" is shortsighted when it can be turned onto anyone for any manufactured reason.

@7666 uhm I didn't say I like him...
>"the boot is ok when it steps on the people i don't like"
I don't really even think this. Maybe I don't count as a fascist then but it's really not about the boot for me.
>it can be turned onto anyone for any manufactured reason.
it is already. that doesn't depend on what I think about it

@WandererUber well i didn't say you liked him, i just associate fascism with bigger government, which I don't see how I'm wrong about that since it requires absolute executive authority to function properly
@7666 yeah I guess. You're probably thinking technical definitions which makes sense honestly. I was just making a play on words on what the guy said in the video and calling Trump a fascist is still really stupid, especially considering how much of a Jew stooge he is.
And on the ICE thing specifically, which he was seething about, he's just wrong. They're making a big deal out of the two dead protesters and it's really not, because their claims of ICE "assassinating" them or whatever are obviously not true and you have to be kinda deranged to believe that.

@WandererUber you have to go one step further than just law enforcement killings which are not new. the entire department of justice is attempting to justify, via character assassination, those actions, regardless of the truth of them, to the point where previously sacred rights like 2A and 4A are being trampled over. that's the real problem, and what it shows is executive capture of the judicial and therefore complete compromise of the fed.
@7666 >previously sacred rights like 2A and 4A
Who except a partisantard says things like that anymore dude
how can you believe this? It hasn't been sacred for a long time. One blue state recently began passing a law that literally makes CNC machines illegal to operate without a government license because they want to ban guns so bad
If you forcefully interfere with law enforcement you will get in trouble. modern police are trigger happy because of the absolute state, this is nothing new.
>executive capture of the judicial
Trumps literal biggest problem has always been shrugging when libtard judges block all of his policies. What on earth are you talking about

@WandererUber state and federal level are different. blue states gonna blue state. the distinction is that the current administration campaigned on being protectors of these rights at the federal level and to watch them toss them entirely aside in the pursuit of their goals, justified or not, is what's quite bad. usually they just do this crap in very targeted scenarios (bump stocks in 2017 as an example) compared to dems, not holistically to the point of disarming.
what this tells me (and maybe i should have seen this coming) is that no single policy or position is safe from their hypocrisy and therefore you now have a rogue apparatus of the state that can justify its own actions without oversight, which has far worse consequences than short term gains on policies you may be in favor of.

@7666 I mean even aside that my responses to your last point apparently didn't even register: All of this has been the case as long as I have been alive and I realized that this was so probably 10 years ago. And many people feel that way. The only reason Trump was able to win was because all of those disillusioned people thought he was sufficiently outside the system to break this up. But he wasn't. Which, in hindsight, is also kinda obvious.
They holistically disarmed everyone when Katrina hit. Talking to someone who is not aware that things have always been this way, on this track at the very least, really blindsided me here...

@WandererUber yeah you can fault me for that. that's why i said i should have seen this coming. i will defend the stance that it being so out in the open, and the collateral damage it causes by being so out in the open, is indeed new and novel though.
another thing: the external factors in 2026 vs. katrina (2005 iirc?) or even 9/11/patriot act provisions are way different, what with the surveillance state in full swing from AI and friendliness to contract out to morally dubious companies who sell your data (palantir, flock). add in the opsec compromises from DOGE and unprecedented funding levels for these agencies to execute their mission and you have a pretty good powder keg.

@7666 wouldn't dispute any of that. Empire in decline and all that. Can't be helped
