  • Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like "/s" that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they're needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

  • Maybe. Unfortunately US law doesn't have a concept of "freedom to not worship", so it's tricky for atheists to push back against religious overreach because it's hard to prove the exclusive religious favoritism for Christians in this country as an atheist since atheists are by definition impossible to prevent from worshiping.

    It's a lot easier to just say hail Satan and then crush the snowflakes in court since now you are religious, just for a bullshit religion which they can't legally call bullshit on. Because that's the other thing. There is absolutely no legal test of faith. The court must take satanists specifically at their word and push no further. Christianity is a major established religion in the US which means Satan is widely recognized, so it isn't a random cult they can spin shutting down, and it is a religion so they can't pretend the satanist isn't covered by the first amendment protection.

    Basically US law is stupid and that makes claiming to be a satanist extremely legally expedient

  • Beyond the very good points already made about it being illegal for them to strike and they could immediately lose all ability to work anywhere in the federal government again, it's imperative you remember the point of DOGE is to get rid of the federal government. Elon and his kiddies are looking for an excuse to close down entire departments of government. If one of them went on strike, they could simply declare that all of them are fired for felony activity and never refill their positions.

    Striking in this case is the same as quitting, and none of them want to give in and let their government die. It's the same reason no one is taking the voluntary severance. They're fighting for their government as best they can from where they are. It's all of our job out here to rescue them

  • Tearing down monopolies is an inherent good independent of the fact that the entire industry should be torn down with them. Be happy the court is willing to exercise their power to break monopolies at all. Doing so here normalizes doing it elsewhere

    Slazers' point that is is pocket change to apple however is an excellent point. If it forces compliance then it's still a win. We'll see what happens

  • Trump is definitely stupid enough to do it without understanding anything. The only question is whether someone with an actual brain can get to him before he tweets about it. Because the second he says it publicly, his narcissistic ego will only allow him to double down regardless of what it does to the US or him personally. Ideally someone would float the idea to him on air

  • Yup. That one's on me. I should have been more specific. I asked for an example of Nazis with power in Ukraine and you gave it to me.

    Let me try again, what Nazis, specifically named, are in power today? Because what you linked mentioned one politician who is still active today who is vaguely linked to the OUN and it didn't even tell me what that link was. Similarly "Rising antisemitism" and "rising nationalism" are meaningless in this day and age. I need you to show me what you mean when you say those things. I asked for evidence, not more claims.

  • That depends. Name another Nazi brigade. I've literally only ever heard Azov when people call Ukrainians Nazis. Where are the rest? What are there names? One brigade does not a political problem make. So where are the rest of the Nazis? What is their influence in government? What laws are they pushing? What do they control? Where are the Nazis?

  • No. Propagandist is.

    No one knowing what you're saying is a problem, but that's a you problem. Everyone who reads what you wrote is confused because what you're saying sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. No one knows what you're talking about. We've never heard of these events you're alluding to. So either show proof of them or we're going to write you off as another propaganda shill

    But you knew all of this because it's 2025 and no one on lemmy doesn't understand how the Internet works. Which means you're lying for a purpose. You're a propagandist.
