  • Nah, they have very similar worldviews and argument styles but I'm pretty sure they're distinct people. I've pissed off PugJesus and gotten personally blocked by them but I haven't irritated PhilipTheBucket to that point yet___ on this account.

  • PugJesus gets extremely triggered by the phrase "statch a liberal and a fascist bleeds".

    Why doesn't the same logic follow?

  • So in your worldview you can't wear cotton unless you are in full support of chattel slavery?

  • What exactly is your point?

    If it's "you can't critique society because you exist in it" that's beyond stupid.

    If it's "smartphone are made in capitalist USA" that's occasionally true, but statistically completely divorced from reality.

    If it's something else you are doing a terrible job of communicating it.

  • FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices

  • With the way American politics are at the moment I interpreted that as a "only the Republicans are the bad guys" and wanted to make it abundantly clear that is not the case.

  • My bad, thanks for catching that I was looking at 118th caucus not 119th. I thought I just misremembered which of those pesky other parties were part of which caucus.

  • We can though, first time was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 with funding being released in 2010. D president, D Senate, D house.

    By 2012 it became obvious that the commitment lined out in the 2009 bill weren't going to happen and a meek attempt to claw back the funds was made. D president, D Senate, R house.

    2021 sees the access broadband act. D president, D Senate, D house.

    By 2025 it became obvious that the commitment lined out in the 2021 bill weren't going to happen. R president, D R Senate, R house.

    The only constant is a Democratic Senat so clearly that's the problem! Right?

    Edit: wrong session for 2025 caucus. It's all Rs there.

  • We elected Carter and it got worse, we elected Clinton and it got worse, we elected Obama and it got worse, we elected Biden and it got worse.

    The throughline is that we keep beating the greater evil and suffering the consequences of things getting worse as a result.

  • Let me simplify: iPhones are built and designed by, what you consider, Communists.

    Android is capitalism appropriating the largely anarchist project of Linux. Which if capitalists had their way would've been strangled in its cradle.

  • China produces ~65% of global smartphones. At worst US companies simply re-brand products from overseas OEMs, at best they're using Chinese produced semiconductors and components to create original products.

    The rest of the consumer electronics market is pretty similar. If you believe modern China is communist then they are "doom-scrolling on their communist-produced smartphones" through a communist produced network infrastructure which you are, most likely, reading through a communist-produced screen.

    I would argue however that modern China largely split the difference between the USSR, which you are McCarthy-ing about, and the modern Russian Federation, which explicitly reformed into a liberal democracy with a capitalist market economy.

    That's the exact opposite of the Democrat's political ideology.

    Where do you get that idea?

  • They did though, through the creation and expansion of the secure communities program.. It was attempted to be walked back via the PEP after Obama earned the "deporter in chief" moniker, but yes the DNC did, has and will continue to do so.

    Their style is usually more "don't make a scene" then "suns out, guns out" but the end result is ultimately the same.
