>laborious process of filling out irrelevant paperwork is orthogonal to actually accomplishing the initial goals.

Well yes, it's designed so that a handful of teenagers can't just clone the IRS database, for example.


In Michigan, if the trailer has plates, after 18 hours it's considered abandoned. No plates, immediately. So don't expect to be able to judge an abandoned trailer by eye.

Well, that’s interesting.

I’m used to seeing brightly colored police notices on vehicles left unattended. They spell out how much time the owner has to move the vehicle. If the move doesn’t happen in time, the vehicle is subject to impound.


“I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”

Animals. To think we pay for and support this.


Comparing to their own rituals and practices around corpses it really goes to show just how thoroughly they have dehumanized the Palestinian people.

Israel long since stopped using smart bombs because a)they were too expensive and b)they didn't really give a shit who died in them executing someone a black-box AI decided was a terrorist (an AI they know is wildly inaccurate.) But even the smart bombs - they didn't care if they wiped out an entire family just to kill one person.

They even have snipers focusing on children. Doctors from international aid organizations working in the hospitals noticed that they were seeing a large number of children were showing up with few injuries/wounds except nearly identical head/chest wounds, and that not many adults were coming in with such injuries.

Targeting and prioritizing killing children has only one purpose: extermination.

WIPP isn't really a mine, right? More like an Amazon warehouse.

as far as MSHA is concerned it is. They take salt out of the ground to make room for the waste.

I think the $800k in sales a month is more important than the manufacturing facility. If you can achieve this sales volume it's easy to have a contract manufacturer produce the product.

Is this just the standard "buy a bulk amount of chemical and repackage for consumers?".

Literal back door, in secret. I doubt things have gotten better since this.

The company couldn't say, even if they wanted to.


Ostrich-head-in-sand. Too negative? We should look for the positives in having destroyed our planet!


>way richer, more influential and have a vastly greater quality of life than you.

Imagine thinking any of this mattered.


Well, it makes you antiDPRK. Being anti-antifascist just make you a fascist, or a fascist-adjacent supporter.


> Being anti-antifascist just make you a fascist, or a fascist-adjacent supporter.

If a loose-knit ideology/movement called "Anti-Rapists" emerged that evolved into a cohort of various disconnected thugs who targeted homosexuals for violence, would being Anti-"Anti-Rapist" make you a supporter of rapists or rapist-adjacent supporter?


I can't tell if you are disputing or agreeing?

Obviously, in the scenario you describe, people will continue describe themselves as "anti-rapist" and everybody will understand that they mean that they are opposed to rape.

There is no "loose-knit ideology/movement" called "antifa" - there are groups like SDS and Don't Shoot PDX and a zillion others who describe themselves as "antifa", using it as an adjective. I'm aware of no person or organization who has attempted to proclaim that they are the one true antifa org.


There will never be "one true" org for groups like this anymore. There is no rational reason for a group to put a target on their back.

Leading isolated cells by social media is the new techique to cause change/chaos (depending on your viewpoint).


What has people who claimed to be antifacists done besides oppose facists? Because I have yet to see anybody except the the government and MAGA supporters claiming antifa has done anything else.


Well, some people who call themselves antifa also use slogans like "liberals get the bullet, too".

The right's play wasn't to invent antifa from the whole close, but to imply that those kinds of views are universal or nearly so among people who call themselves that.

(To be fair, it doesn't help that the historical antifa, i.e. KPD's Antifaschistische Aktion, considered social democrats to be its enemies, calling them "social fascists". It boggles my mind that anyone on the left who isn't a hardline Marxist-Leninist would adopt the name for themselves given its history.)
