This is bullshit. They’ve always been greedy, taking as . much as they can for themselves while seeing labor as disposable lives.

In May 2017, Brazilian Federal Police launched “Operation Miami Connection” to shut down a money laundering scheme it accused Dezer Properties of being involved in. Dezer Properties is behind the Porsche Design Towers Brava, a luxury condominium to open in 2022 that is being marketed to foreigners in Praia Brava on Santa Catarina Island in Brazil. The Brazilian authorities alleged that a contractor laundered more than R$12 million (US$4 million) through Dezer Properties as “licensing fees” paid to Porsche SE.[6] According to Brazilian media, the FBI and the Brazilian federal police are cooperating on the investigation, which involves three businessmen from the United States and Germany.[7]

He said supermarket staff were unable to explain why he was being told to leave, and would only direct him to a QR code leading to the website of the firm Facewatch, which the retailer has hired to run facial recognition in some of its stores. He said when he contacted Facewatch, he was told to send in a picture of himself and a photograph of his passport before the firm confirmed it had no record of him on its database. “One of the reasons I was angry was because I shouldn’t have to prove I am innocent,” Rajah said. “I shouldn’t have to prove I’m wrongly identified as a criminal.” He described the incident as feeling “quite like Minority Report, Orwellian”. He said while doing his normal shop, he was approached by three members of the store’s staff, one of whom appeared to affirm that he was the person pictured on a device they had. It is understood the Facewatch system flagged someone else who had entered the store, and staff mistook Rajah for him. Rajah was concerned some form of permanent record implying he had been involved in criminality might have been created on Facewatch’s system. Eventually, the firm told him he was not on its database and referred him back to Sainsbury’s.

You were doing so well, until

The rules apply to them, it’s just no one is enforcing them. And since the oligarchs lost the DNC last year when the voting members finally picked a non-neoliberal chair, there’s not going to be anyone that can stop a progressive Dem from winning the primary, then the general, then actually enforcing the rules on the oligarchs

Is he hanging?

When USA/allies are involved, death would be merciful.

Well whatever you do, don’t dive deep into Operations Gladio and Condor.

Still, tankies are simps for authoritarians.

And what are Western socialists doing to discourage or stop this authoritarianism that works, or is that reserved for states in the global South?

Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west.

I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen it mocked and knows from forty years’ personal experience voting here in the USA, the only thing it’s done is move us further right. But sure, tankies are the problem. Btw, remind me again why Dems only sued in swing states to keep Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot?

🤣 zero (intentional) irony. Not you, you couldn’t possibly be taken by a CIA psyop!

Consider this: if that’s true, why does the West take in Nazis and brutally crush AES? Perhaps you could actually dig into what Operation Gladio and Operation Condor did.

Perhaps in light of your recent post here, https://lemmy.world/post/42467256, you may stop to reconsider your comments about tankies.

Inventing reality, even.

It costs a lot of money.

Sunday, according to Dropsite.

On X this week, Elon Musk reposted a claim that Sánchez was using the move to conduct “electoral engineering” adding: “Wow.” Sánchez reposted the SpaceX tycoon’s comment with a reply of his own: “Mars can wait. Humanity can’t.” Amid the squabbling and point-scoring, some of those who have spent years campaigning for regularisation have called for reflection about what the decree means and why it is needed. Catholic groups, including the migration department of the Spanish conference of bishops, see the measure as “an act of social justice and recognition of so many migrants who, through their work, have long contributed to the development of our country, even at the cost of keeping them in an irregular situation”.

I’m trying to maintain optimism that this current extreme escalation is the flailing death throes of a generation raised into bigotry and self-aggrandization, and that we’ll come out the other side of this being a better society (the younger generations today are so much more openly altruistic and progressive on the whole).

Well, I don’t fault you for any of it. This part will require vigorously investigating, rooting out our liberal narrative, and reeducating ourselves.

All I see here is a temper tantrum

So to answer your question: no, it’s not worse. It’s a desperate attempt to make something start tipping the scale back toward liberty and peace.

I doubt that means much to people out of eyesight and earshot to whom we’ve never allowed to have the same liberty and peace.

I engage regularly there in precisely those discussions.

All I see here is hurt feelings for rules enforcement
