Take a look around, it would seem they have plenty in America to draw from.

He shouldn’t sign it at all because it’s fucking stupid.

I get what you’re saying, and while I don’t have a better solution to offer- I just know that the solution they’re offering now is a bad idea. It’s opening the doors to govt/nation controlled IP.

And that is bad for everyone.

Perhaps instead of watering down one company, maybe all the others should be inspired to make better quality products that can compete with them.

Because- and this is only my opinion, allowing governments to control how a company manages their IP is a slippery slope to go down.

I honestly don’t get it. It’s their product. Why are entire countries getting involved in how they design and distribute their own IP?

I’m not lying in bed at all. Why do you need to edit my response to suit whatever nonsense point you need to make? If you’re going to participate in this, be on the level and stop with the straw man bullshit. If you have a problem with my perspective, argue against my perspective- not one you made up.

What I’m doing, is: simply saying that all these idiots that are crying about injustice and casting aspersions at everyone else… had their fucking chance to help stop this shit but they chose to feed their entitlement with a single issue refusal-to-vote protest.

And now that we have Trump- they all suddenly want to spring into action. Taking a moment to calling this bullshit out in no way indicates that I’m “lying in bed.” It just means that at the current moment- I’m on lemmy, calling out bullshit.

I sincerely hope I don’t need to explain to you that a person is able to do many things over the course of a few months.

My stand that there’s nothing they can be done is just pointing out that we are powerless to change what has happened. Trump is in. And no amount of yelling while holding signs will change that. You need the powers that be to intervene, and it’s the powers that be that are causing g the problem.

Essentially… You can’t appeal to evil to stop evil.

But hey… if you want to storm the castle? Be my guest. Just know that it’ll be a bloodbath, and in the end, nothing will have changed. And if it should make you feel better, go ahead and use whatever historical bullshit that happened decades/centuries ago to use as an argument against this- rest assured though… things are very, VERY different now.

And no amount of tea tossed into a harbor will change that.

lol. Naah. We’re done. It’s over. I’m just making sure that those responsible are able to see what they’ve done. See the damage they caused to so many people. They walked lockstep with the trumpers, and now they will suffer alongside them.

Best now to just make sure everyone can recognize them for who they are and properly lay the blame at their feet where it belongs.

Because ALL of this was avoidable.

Now, there’s not much else to do about it.

lol… again. Gathering people in large groups is not an action. It’s just accumulation. VOTING is an action.

No mountain was moved moved because a bunch of people gathered at is base and shouted at it.

And I find it ironic that the advice you’re suggesting is the exact same thing I see presented to the far left/progressive do-nothings that sit at home and watch everyone else try and cast their votes to save their sorry asses, or wait until shit gets this bad before they mobilize into larger clusters of do-nothings to stand around and smugly criticize everyone that warned them this would fucking happen.

They helped make the bed. They can lie in it with the rest of us that didn’t.

If another four years of Trump and the threat of project 2025 wasn’t enough to make these people do the bare minimum it would have taken to stop it, I honestly don’t see how a few empowered speeches will do more than jack-shit to motivate them.

I wish it were different, but we’re taking about a group of people who have a proven track record of stopping short of walking the walk.

Progressives: Well, we all showed up at the same place at the same time. Did we win?

Let’s get this straight:

The president of America- publicly threatened a state governor, and it’s on record.

When exactly is the military going to roll up on the White House to drag this child out by his collar and put him in prison?

Most of the far lefters I’ve seen around here are in the “both sides!” camp.

It’s worked out so well for them so far. The left organizing themselves into anything useful and productive, historically can be compared to cats herding cats.

What a fucking child.

You sure are spending a lot of time on your apologia.

Sometimes, like Nazi salutes- actions are much louder than words.
