    CTH was not very moderative of leftist hot takes. One of the things that probably contributed to their ban was that they regularly brigaded other subreddits (this was a common complaint throughout Reddit when I used it), and they regularly left calls for violence up such as “Guillotine Biden Now”. They were also accused of ban evasion and other minor things.

    EDIT: As another vector of this, there were similar accusations leveled at CTH as hexbear and Lemmy grad, where users claimed being banned for not buying more extreme views.






  • Oh it’s worse than that.

    This is maybe not well known outside the US - the US Constitution specifically carves out an exception in the 13th amendment - the amendment which made slavery illegal* in the US - which allows convicted criminals to be used as slaves.

    We also have in our fifth amendment that anyone can be deprived of their right to life, liberty or property via the due process of the law.

    So, via these two aspects of these amendments, you can technically be deprived of any rights you might hold once you are convicted of a crime and placed in prison. Of course, that is not exactly true. You do still have rights and many lawyers make it their livelihoods to try to secure prisoners their rights. At the same time, though, it’s really not much consolation, since we still absolutely do use prisoners as slave labor, and constantly overlook the unjust abuse and killing of prisoners.

    * While Illegal on paper, slavery was still carried out for a century after. Emancipation happened in 1863, 13th amendment in 1865, but there were still cases of privately owned slaves as recently as 1963

    The actual containment methods are programming a script to do the calculations. Some calculations take thousands of smaller steps that you would lose your mind doing. Finite Element Analysis comes to mind. The number of nodes one might use for FEA today would make doing the calculations by hand mind numbing.

    Guys, this comic is a jab at conservatives, and is poking fun at how they’re going to respond to getting screwed by Trump. The comic is positing that conservatives will just blame Democrats (usually their leader specifically), as they’ve done since time immemorial. These exact types of comics have been around since Reagan, they’re all the same comic. The last big one was the “thanks Obama” meme, where Obama is blamed for every stupid little thing.

    This isn’t a comic about leftists blaming Biden. It’s about the bull headedness and obtuse nature of conservatives.


  • This isn’t about leftists. The guy is dressed like a farmer, who majority voted for Trump. Trump turned around and immediately cut subsidies that small business farmers rely on, so many are now struggling. The comic is saying that they will still blame Biden despite being screwed by Trump. This could also be viewed as shorthand for any trump voter.

    In reality, we’ve seen many farmers now communicate that they regret voting for trump. Alittle too little too late, it seems. They aren’t as dumb as the comic artist paints them in that sense, just unempathetic.

    I think this is a failure of merit distribution. Technology,collaboration, and industrialization solved scarcity. Capitalists argue that it was capitalism which spurned the extreme speed of these advancements - I’d argue that society was already having it’s advancements accelerate. I’d argue that we solved scarcity directly in spite of capitalism, which only feeds off this advancement parasitically.

    I’m confused. Isn’t quadrant 2 usually the authoritarian left and depicted with red? Meanwhile the Authoritarian right(blue) is still quadrant 1 and Libertarian right (cream) is still quadrant 4. So who’s the polar bear??

    This whole compass is all wonky and now I don’t know whether I’m ok with murder or not.
