Can the US please just decide if it wants to be a theocracy or not. Please can it be not.

This sudo religious fascist state, but also kind of not really, is really tiring on everyone else.

It’s written “pseudo”, a prefix in old Greek meaning fake (as in pseudopod). “sudo” is a Linux command to run a command or script as another user.

Actually, running “pseudo [command]” causes your system to pretend to run the command.

Also, sudopods are a close relative of sauropoda, who can use their long necks to bypass read restrictions.

Unfortunately, “sauron [command]” still won’t see the Jia Tan backdoor obscured in the shadows, nor the_ring.yml that you’re piping to /dev/null

Actually, sudo can be used to run a command as any other user. Superuser is merely the default when none is specified.

Good luck with that. Reminds me of the people who say they need guns to protect themselves from the government. They aren’t wrong, but they very much are.

Oh no police are always an exception. After all if they don’t have the right to shoot people for whatever reason they want to make up, how are they ever supposed to be able to do their job of a opressing people?

Based on what rule of law? Can whoever sent the police be sued?

As the story stands, we probably don’t have anything showing intent to suppress free speech, which is what I supposed to lawsuit would be based on. It’s possible that there’s information we don’t know yet, or that isn’t written in the article, but at the moment I don’t think a lawsuit would get very far.

This is one of those situations where it feels like you ought to be able to sue, but maybe the best remedy is by voting in different state-level politicians.

The same people who sent the police already have Corrupt Clarence and Treason Flag Alito to create an original interpretation of the First Amendment for this one.

Civil disobedience is a valid tool in a state with rule of law. If it’s a failing state where law is applied selectively, you jump ship or you buy protection, where the latter route can get really expensive and isn’t a guarantee.

The power exchanges in Stalins USSR show that no one was ever safe, including the key committee members. So people who want to create a fascist regime of some sort will be in for a rude awakening when they find that their money only goes so far.

Edit the movie Death of Stalin is not a serious historical perspective, but it shows a lot of the dangers of creating conditions for a police state
