cagliostr0 posted:Somebody will try, Neil katyal will successfully argue a decision 6-3 that discovery and penalty for destroying evidence is a violation of a corporation's 4th and 5'th amendment rights, then the lawyer arguing on behalf of the dead babies gets life without parole after a private prosecutor gets them found guilty in front of a judge who is a large holder of poison baby formula stocks on the charge of spreading misinformation about the safety of baby formula. that's because they go for small fines which get challenged, just revoke their ability to do business and they're gone, the shareholders or whoever is left over at the end of bankruptcy court can't take the federal government to court for damages. have the sec institute a requirement that corporations can be charged with securities fraud and public fraud but on the other hand obviously they'd never do that because they have no interest in harming the business - even if the constitution said the president has the power to dissolve a business they still never would

I don't know if it's true across the board but anecdotally the thing that's so tangible to me is that even where I work, in a blue collar job, the people aged 40-55 also see this. I can't count how many people I've been in conversations with about how bad things are who bring up "And we're the lucky ones, we have some wealth and while we don't have much we're so much further ahead than people in their their 20s and 30s who not only will never have what we do but have always known that everything is hopeless. They've literally never seen a future that isn't everything getting worse constantly without any chance of that ever changing." It's so bleak but if it's that tangible to people more or less completely disconnected from politics then things must be particularly dire. I don't know what to even tell anyone young when they're talking about the situations they find themselves in with regards to the future because they seem to want to find hope that if the old moron next to them is more or less fine they will be because the opportunities I had simply do not exist for them. Any tolerable future simply does not lie in mainstream political action.

Seems to me like people are afraid to do anything about the problems with the world at large because of the potential impact on their material conditions, no matter how those material conditions happen to be. I'd place myself in this category. I sure am lovely at posting, and I have plenty of lovely opinions, but I won't be out at a protest, I have things to lose. What I think about is what it is going to take for society to reach the inflection point when there are more people with nothing to lose than something to lose.

Also the list of actual achievements of protesting is like 0 so I think a good portion of people just don't bother. It makes sense to risk something if in the end things end up better overall but lmao

Protesting is not how you get anything done, you need to actually organise and get your poo poo together and start doing real material poo poo. The upper limits of what you can do with unorganized protesting is burning down a cop shop and shooting a couple black teenagers, it's not a path forward.

it's pretty funny how toothless the FDA is lol I do regulatory stuff so I deal with boards and ministries of health all the time and like the amount of power even a country like Switzerland can wield against a pharma company in incredible. like a company will say to the Swiss, "we're going to discontinue this drug is switzerland" and the ministry of health can just straight up say "lol no you're not"

Lol uhhh if you think that the truck dipshits were organized in any meaningful way then you've been had and are a total mark. They managed to go for as long as they did because the cops were on their side, they had no legitimate grievances and if they were leftists they would have been shut down and murdered a long time before they reached the capital.

yeah remember when people blocked highways during blm. good way to get teargassed and a rubber bullet to the head or worse if the canadian government then passed laws that made it even more impossible to strike, that was opportunism and not because the truckers were seriously challenging power

As a Canadian leftist I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that letting right wing mobs take over cities with impunity is bad, actually. Do the service workers getting spit on, assaulted and threatened daily not count as working class? What about all the people laid off because of the absolute failure of the state to provide security, do they count as working class? Do the people suffering from permanent hearing loss from 160db train horns blaring for 16 hours a day count as working class? Am I allowed to protest and demand my government protect me, or is freedom of speech only allowed for the right wing?
