The “Weird” name calling worked so well for you guys last time. Definitely worth persisting with.

supports legal immigration, dislikes criminals and law breakers

You know it’s all on video, don’t you? You know you’re the one that’s full of shit, don’t you?

The protesters were trying to force their way out of the building they were occupying. They got violent when they weren’t being allowed to leave.

Please try to be more honest going forward.

Why are we ok with it? No one said they’re ok with it. I was simply commenting on the lies the NYT are spreading.

So approximately 1 per week. Seems reasonable enough.

They aren’t “daily intelligence briefings”, they’re “intelligence briefings”. Basically no president ever attended them daily.

The illegal ones? No, they’re not - hence being illegal immigrants lol.

“X bans 8000 users who oppose the government”

Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

“Indian government forces X to ban 8000 users who oppose the government at threat of banning X in India”

Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

“X challenges Indian government in court over order to ban 8000 users who oppose the government”

Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

It would be funny if it wasn’t so obvious how politically captured Lemmy is already.

Cheers. I might use that one next time I’m in a meeting with the BAs haha

Who decides the owners main purpose for the land you peanut?

If you ask Putin if Russia is a democracy and if he was democratically elected, he will say yes. Would you believe him?

Considering you lefties all refuse to believe a single thing the current US government says, and imagine dozens of ways that what they’re saying is actually wrong and will be used to set up death camps, it’s astounding just how readily you believe literally everything the South African government says.

Oh apart from the “kill all the white men!” song they love singing - you don’t believe them when they say that.

Lol

A single company has been allowed to have their cars operate. Big difference to regular people’s cars being able to drive around by themselves at the owners will.

The country, whose leaders all gleefully sing and chant “kill all the white man!”, courts say that it’s not happening? Oh, well then they must be right. Just like how Kim Jong Un shot a 50 under par on a par 60. Just like how Russia is a democracy. They say it so it’s true.

Doesn’t matter that the government approved laws where they can literally just steal white peoples land/property with no compensation and no recourse. Nah, irrelevant because the government said that they’re not actually going to do it - they just passed the laws so they can as a prank, and the white people that have had their properties and land stolen since are just taking the prank the wrong way. All the white farmers and their families being murdered and having their farms stolen are just being bad sports. It’s not happening, the government said it themselves!

I have a friend who came here to my country 6 months or so ago from SA. He’s white. His best friends family were all murdered in a home invasion. Police didn’t care. His uncle was murdered on his farm and his farm was taken to government to black people. Police didn’t care, government just took the property.

I’ll tell him it didn’t happen, I’m sure that will make his uncle and best friend and his family jump out of a door and yell surprise! He’ll be so relieved!

You got me! Well done, head down to your nearest Tesla dealership for a free car. Tell them the secret word “Nazi” to get the discount (and look really cool at the same time).

Ok so your issue is that police abuse their powers, powers that regular citizens do not have. I agree that’s a huge problem and it should be addressed regularly.

That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand though. Sovereign citizens live in la-la-land. There are no special hidden laws about “travelling vs driving” where you don’t need a drivers license to drive on public roads. There are laws that allow police to speed and go through red lights.

I did. What these people did wasn’t just property damage being treated like violence - there was actual physical violence when they were being held, in the place that they were taking over mind you, until the police could get there. Then more violence when the police got there.

detained illegal immigrants

FTFY NY Times.

It’s also a lie. They’re not “trying to”, they said that it is something that they might consider. It has been done 4 times before too.

Pardon them of any and all crimes over the last 11 years?

Ah ok so you didn’t answer my question, you wanted to prove some anti-capitalist point that had nothing to do with the conversation.

They REALLY do. What you call “situational allowances” are what we’re talking about. You can’t turn on some flashing lights and speed through red lights to get to a crime legally. They can.

Police have special powers that the rest of us don’t have. If they didn’t then police wouldn’t even exist.

If only they didn’t fake it to get their desired result, then maybe it could have been useful.

I agree that LiDAR and other technologies should be used in conjunction with regular cameras. I don’t know why anyone would be against that unless they have vested interests. For various reasons though I understand that it isn’t always possible - price being a big one.
