Yea, that's what I was wondering, the whys of that. Is there some opsec secret why recordings are not allowed beyond the obvious issues of potentially smuggling weapons into the court room?

I'm not overly familiar with their politics, but the former president that is now in jail was basically their version of Trump, correct? If that is true, did we get off lucky with just the Capitol?

Same in DC- grand theft autos are up something like 600% over last year. Even controlling for COVID, that’s a lot. We had one really ugly case where a 13 and 15 year old girl tried to carjack an Ubereats driver, which led to him getting killed in the car accident that resulted from the struggle over the car. Both girls took plea deals that will see them in juvenile detention until they’re 21 in exchange for not being tried as adults.

Not necessarily true. I, for example, work at a place which tells you someone is being let go as they are leaving the HR office even though IT has yelled at them constantly this is dangerous.

This is what happens when IT is the lowest department on the totem poll

It's where we tax Tucker Carlson down to a one bedroom apartment and a 150k+ mileage car in a first or second ring suburb but then he has the freedom and opportunity to work his way back up by applying for wage jobs at media companies by his own merits like anybody else

Nah, you're wrong.

Fascism emerges from failed democracy and slavery has happened in lots of different political systems and didn't really happen much in fascism beyond forced labor camps which is different from chattel slavery.

While it doesn’t meet the exact dictionary of fascism, a system where the economy relies on part of the population being enslaved on the basis of their race certainly shares some characteristics.

Just because the Greeks did it doesn’t mean it’s good.

yeah you're definitely wrong. fascism is an ideology born out of modernity and pluralist culture -- mainly as a reaction against it. the founders were (generally) -- despite their many, MANY issues -- Enlightenment idealists who believed that a democratic, open system was better than t he quasi-feudal one they were living under at the time. fascism would be completely foreign to them, and once it was explained to them they'd find it abhorrent.

Generalplan Ost, Nazi Germany's long-term plan for colonizing Eastern Europe, lists the percentage of each ethnic group to be exterminated and subsequently all surviving Slavic peoples were to be turned into illiterate chattel slaves circa the Antebellum South. Simple road signs and pictographs would be used to communicate to the slaves where bars, taverns, stores, etc. were. The land would be settled by agrarian German farmers using slave labor of the locals.
