Better yet, buy secondhand, reduce consumption, and buy from farmers markets.

I mean, in this case, he has the rest of the English-speaking world to stop him with stupid renaming. If everyone just refuses to call it anything other than the Gulf of Mexico, it’s not like he can do anything about it, especially if they’re outside of the US.

It’s not, I’m just trying to figure out what the path out of what appears to be a no-win scenario according to that standard. Just stop all deliveries altogether?

So is the solution then to be “Amazon withdraws all shipping services for <neighborhood>”? “Amazon sends armed PMCs to <neighborhood>, terrorizing locals”? What’s the solution?

Yeah, but I’m afraid that will only work until the next guy decides to start pulling out the big guns and just straight up ignoring things like “due process” and “freedom of expression”.

You mean most of it isn’t already?

Which country? You’re gonna have to be a bit more specific.

The argument is that all you’re doing is moving the carbon emissions from the car directly in your vicinity to the coal-fired power plant a long distance away. Move that same coal-fired power plant into the sealed room, and suddenly it’s no longer far away, and the “unclean” nature of the electric car, so the thought process goes, becomes obvious.

Or, hear me out, they were born in a place without their consent, raised in that place as a minor without their consent, and now are not financially or physically capable of leaving that place on their own.

Okay, let’s be generous and give you the benefit of the doubt. What would you consider to be an unbiased, credible source of factual information? Be specific.

Already saw one from MAGA trolls on Xitter about being a sex worker, with a silhouette of her on her knees doing exactly what you think. I don’t know why I ever check back on that site anymore when I’m almost entirely moved over to Mastodon and Lemmy.

Does… does Harris meet your criterion?

Of course I am. But given the choice between creeping fascism and immediate fascism, which realistically is the only choice this election, I’ll choose the one that still has options, however few, for at least a few more years, if only so other people have a chance to get out while they can or make preparations.

You do realize that if the USA goes to shit, the rest of the world will also go? Not because the USA went to shit, but because the shit-in-chief will be bound and determined to bring said shit to the rest of the world and cram it down y’all’s throats while shaking hands with Putin and Kim? He already talked about withdrawing from NATO and telling Putin he has carte blanche to just roll over Europe, and don’t be surprised if a few lobbyists in the military-industrial complex convince him that taking a second look at colonization of the Global South for their minerals might just be a good idea while he’s at it.
