"I must be."
"Good."
"Why is that good?"
"Means you're not stupid."
If you have any delusions that what's coming will be as nice as the 1950s or the 1980's you can kick those thoughts in the bin right now.
Realistically though what can they do against the company?
So far as I understand, Japan's constitution only allows freedom of speech in the individual sense. If the diet decides to censor a company acting in a publishing capacity, I believe they can do so. Press censorship has been a feature of Japan since MacArthur ordered controls on the press in Sept 1945.
(Port switches and KVMs are nothing new at all. But at this point they're just conveniences. In the bad old days you had to actively fool a machine into thinking it was still talking to a device.)
The average website in 2001 was better
Uh....
had more character
Well, yes. That is A word for it.
They didn’t have tons of social sharing icons
No, they had webring links. Although Yahoo was in the process of ruining those.
Your criticism of Islam has to focus on Islam, rather than Muslims particularly, especially how you worded it as an inherent moral failing among Muslims, rather than claims of over-representation.
DoM...
Assuming this is what you said, I think you're setting the bar a little too high here. I know what you're wanting. You're wanting a nice clean KO against the faith rather than the people who practice it. To keep the fight above the belt, so to speak.
But the two can't be divorced.
I don't give a shit if they are infiltrated by Feds, or have Fed informants
No, they ARE feds.
They do something
Yes. Because they're feds.
Your lack of OPSEC
Is because we have nothing to hide, because we're not feds. Nor are we the monsters the feds want to will into existence.
You're like Homer trying to be an informant, and Lenny, Karl, Barney, and Moe keep talking about crimes Homer committed.
No, it's how their system is designed.
The French two phase system was DELIBERATELY DESIGNED to give parties the power to collude in this way to obstruct the ascendance of a universally opposed faction. The only way to beat it is to win outright. Or to persist so long that the unity breaks down.
Guys please read this, it's amazing.
Eh.... I don't that's the dunk you think it is. I haven't been in a mall in about ten years※ but I would not be surprised at all if there is Sailor Moon, MLP, and Rey-Wars junk in Hot Topic.
※Scheels doesn't count.
Well, now, see, that's where you're wrong.
Because I guarantee you without any doubts at all that co-op, or their upstream farms, are taking USDA Dairy Margin Coverage money. In that industry, everyone does.
And that, well, sort of implies you're going to cooperate with all the other rules.
...
If you read into the story, this cooperative made record errors, didn't cooperate with correcting those errors, were served a C&D, ignored the C&D, and that precipitated the raid.
If they'd been selling across state lines and made the same mistake it wouldn't have been Michigan Dept of Ag raiding them, it would have been USDA FSIS.
When you are selling food and an inspector asks you for your paperwork, you have your goddamn paperwork. And when you're served a C&D, you stop what you're doing and lawyer the fuck up.
You cannot change politics as quickly as you want them to change without resorting to violence, and I don't see you getting violent.
Farage knew exactly what he wanted to get out of this election cycle and he got it. It could have been a bigger win, but it was a win.
Instead of giving any kind of support for reform
You have an impatient attitude towards party realignments.
Reform just got 14% of the vote to the LibDem's 10% and the Tories 21%. The SNP and the DUP also got demolished, which is interesting. Farage wanted to send a message to the Conservative party, and he was wildly successful at that.
The ball is very much now in the Conservatives court as to how they can respond to Reform.
There are basically two paths forward. Assuming this government goes the distance, the next election is in 2029. The Tories can either make peace with Reform and accept Farage as party leader, or they can fight it out, in which case Labour probably gets another win in 2029, but with a Reform led opposition.
HOWEVER, that's five years from now, and I don't think anyone expects Labour to do a good job. If Labour absolutely tanks and is forced into an early election, and Reform is being the louder opposition than the actual leader of the opposition... then things get more interesting.
isekai fantasy anime was always generally considered pretty trash
Escaflowne would like a word with you.
Escaflowne didn't even have a tank. And it sure as hell didn't have the confidence to go full Ash Williams.
I think Susan Rice was running the show, realized how badly Biden was going to lose, and bailed out.
