  • Yes, these are troubling times for many places since these fascists seem to wal together whenever they show up. But I see a much sharper decline in freedom in the last 10 years. Even so, let’s look at other numbers I’ll use Brazil as an example: poverty reduce from 68% in 1970 to 10%. There were 450.000 thousand university students in 1970, now 8.4 million. 28% of houses had access to sanitation in 1970, now it is almost 80%.

    This improvement happened and is still happening all around the world. We save so many kids lives that we overpopulated the world. We just have to be careful now to not let the assholes undo this




  • Again, I read the entire article. Karl or the pope or whoever else can go on whatever crusade they want, it is not the judge’s place to stop that. If on that crusade they say lies or libel or whatever, apply the law on them, be my guest. But don’t do it because they were on a crusade. Don’t let that influence the decision, because that is not against the law in itself.

    I don’t give 2 fucks if Karl or Mitchell is right or wrong, I’m only talking about the judge and how fucked up the justice system is by leaving the final decision in the hands of admittedly fallible people.

    When the judge, the authority that has final say on the matter, mentions they considered something that is not forbidden in their decision, it sours my view of it and the justice system.

    Even if the final legal document does not contain that as part of the reason for the sentence, I can’t avoid thinking that the judge’s mindset was pointing towards that (that being “I’ll take this guy down a peg because he thinks himself as some big defender of justice, when I’m the only one that can do that”)
