India and Pakistan had fallen pretty far in the "most likely to start a nuclear war" category for me, but I will say this move will push them to be a contender for the title.

Lol, I just left another comment saying how when I pulled all-nighters back in school, energy drinks in particular were a trap that would knock me the fuck out if I'd had no sleep.

I remember when I used to pull all-nighters, I came to think of caffeine as a trap. If I was on 18+hrs of no sleep, 1 energy drink and I'd be passe out in 10 minutes.

I honestly couldn't tell you anything about Kyrsten Sinema other than she campaigned in her primary on ID politics. Literally the only reason I heard people voting for her was "bisexual woman!!!" because the actual progressive choice was a a guy. I reluctantly voted for her in the general but I had a bad feeling about her and her Karen haircut.

The DNC has been hiding their corporate and centrist candidates behind "progressive" ID politics for a long time.

Iirc you cannot recall federal representatives. Some states have provisions for recalling state and local leadership, but that's it.

So I'm scrolling back up to reply to you after reading more. I actually don't see most of the capitalist comments lol. I see a bunch of replies to removed comments that really don't tell me anything about how the other side is replying.

That's still not directly anti-propaganda laws. I'm very much in favor of holding media that lies accountable, beyond just civil law.

I'm talking about propaganda as a whole, which very much includes things that aren't lies. For example, during the 2024 US election, I was bombarded with ads that used anecdotal evidence and indirect language to create a subtextual message of immigrants=criminals. The best counter to this imo, and propaganda as a whole, is education because proper education in critical thinking (which even the best US schools seem to avoid, wonder why...) would let people have the tools to know that you can't create a conclusion that big from anecdotes.

Strong anti-fraud laws encompass far more than propaganda and are a low hanging fruit of creating a just society, which is why I'm focusing on anti-propaganda specifically and how someone would avoid creating a perfect tool for abuse by a bad actor. I'm not doing this to be facetious or anything, I want to know if anyone has already come up with an approach to this problem

The comment says anti-propaganda laws. I'm 100% in favor of anti-fraud laws, but propaganda is special that it's not always direct (read as: legally enforcable) lies.
