You made a lot of claims here. Do you have any sources to provide support?

Competition does the exact opposite of centralization. That’s why I can buy most goods from completely different vendors that differ in price and quality.

Competitions have winners, and in this case it means the competition goes out of business and dies, leaving you with a near monopoly or outright monopoly.

That power then gets used to

• lobby (bribe) the government to raise barriers to entry to prevent new competitors
• buy out new competitors
• intentionally price everything lower than competitors, at a loss, to kill competitors in a war of attrition that they can’t possibly outlast

And that’s even assuming there’s any competition at all, which often isn’t the case with certain things like healthcare, internet, electricity, etc.

“The Fine Print - The Stupendium”

Exactly what about this post is a half truth/lie/false information/etc?

Or are you using the more lax definition which means anything that attempts to effect public opinion?

Where are you Mario?

The noose is becoming increasingly pertinent to this meme.

What value comes from severing those relationships?

Oops, here’s a couple dozen, looks like we mistakenly labeled a shipment.

If only we could have seen this coming

Nice

I hope it works out for them. The nazis aren’t gonna stop till they’re in the ground.

I wonder if it’s gonna be one of the ones that sticks out through the ages. There are old political Dr Seuss ones that are shown in school to this day as a way to show the history of the era.

Surely at least a couple will be famous for showing the stupidity of Trump. Will this be one of them?

I hope the security is light.

Where exactly in the single cell is the soul stored?

I think we need more than vandalism. But it couldn’t hurt. Where’s Mario?

Yeah, that’s why you don’t share this with fascists.

And for the most part, it’s generally not the case that fascists find themselves in the hot seat, because their buddies are cops, or themselves are cops. The rule of law was never truly applied to them in the first place.

A hung jury, where not everybody agrees is better than a conviction

Absolutely. Much of the time charges get dropped all together when there’s a hung jury, because it isn’t worth the effort to risk another hung jury.

You can disagree with laws, but that feels like a terrible reason to nullify a legitimate guilty decision.

No, it can often be a good reason. I disagree with laws that would make it illegal for trans people to use their preferred bathroom. They punish women for not being feminine enough, it forcibly outs trans people. It’s dangerous and stupid.

Anybody who votes not guilty in such a case is right to do so.

we want jury nullification to come from individual conclusions that this law does not apply despite the circumstances, and not because they know they can.

There is an ongoing shift towards fascism, and at least for now the courts still have power over whether or not people get to walk free.

So there is more to it than your letting on. We’re gonna see cases of people who have done illegal things because the fascists in power decided to make existence defacto illegal for people.

An example of this is the bans on transgender people from using bathrooms other than their assigned sex. If I’m ever a juror on a case like that, I’m fucking voting not guilty, and everybody else should too.
