@lastrobot @dyckron Propably just a guy in a suitcase full of purple [€500] banknotes saying:
@aurora because that'll hurt big donors more and not shaft consumers!
@JamesTDG @calsnoboarder @georgetakei one more reason for you to be angry at the #cleptocracy and #billionaires then!
@hn50 the grift is really off the charts these days!
@Em0nM4stodon and that is intentional by the #Cleptocracy and #AmericanOligarchy in specific.
@enobacon that's because the #USA is a #cleptocracy & #oligarchy and not a #democracy!
Even worse than our descent into #Authoritarianism and #Cleptocracy is our worse than head-in-the-sand approach to the #ClimateCatastrophy. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2025/01/climate-models-earth/681207/?gift=D1_ctPq5UQvRq8IlRLZQx6eEQz78FaJNIUzl6Hut5XY&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share
@chiefgyk3d Because the #USA is a corrupt #cleptocracy and banning #competition is the only way it cements the #StatusQuo.
@rbreich yes: #Cleptocracy and the fact that neother #ConflictOfInterest nor #Facts matter...
@luckytran OFC, since @gretathunberg isn't writing #cheques to #Congress members but #BigOil does!
Welcome to your #Cleptocracy:
@kkarhan @rob11563 @w7voa
Yes, you have some valid points, that there are fundamental underlying problems, but the fact you will not even discuss some basic measures to stop the IMMEDIATE sale of deadly guns, to save 1000's of lives makes you an apologist for the NRA.
We have Murdoch Media in Australia. We have #StochasticTerrorists #cleptocracy #billionaires #christofacists but we don't have people armed to the teeth and that is why we don't have 1000's dead kids.
Trump repealed laws that prohibited the sales of guns to the mentally ill. There's one thing USA could easily do.
@MrLee @rob11563 @w7voa to answer your question:
Remember: Only #Populists want simple solutions (i.e. 'just ban guns!') for complex Problems!
NONE OF THESE SOLUTIONS WILL BE CHEAP, FAST, POPULAR OR EASY AND THAT IS WHY THESE OBJECTIVELY GOOD SOLUTIONS WON'T BE DONE!
So instead of blaing a non-sentient piece of metal and plastic how about being angry at those #Project2025 fucks and following the money.
@molly0xfff what did you expect in a #cleptocracy suffering from #LateStageCaputalism?
@phocks that would assume the #Government wants to do that, because in a #Cleptocracy like the #USA politicans would only commit #CareerSuicide that way...
