VoteNixon2016to Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide6·27 days ago“Nah bro, we just need to let the fascists exterminate one more vulnerable group and the workers will rise up and form my version of a leftist utopia, just one more group, I promise, you just gotta read more theory if you don’t believe me”
I’ve blocked more people on here for their accelerationist bullshit than for anything else. At least the fascists will tell me to my face that they want to see me dead.
Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as “this administration” or “the [leader] administration”?
In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that’s more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch

VoteNixon2016to The Onion@midwest.social•Federal Regulators Hold Celebratory Seatbelt-Cutting CeremonyEnglish5·1 month agoThe same goes for regulations requiring air bags, crumple zones, tempered glass windows, and other safety features designed to protect the occupants of a vehicle. If seatbelts are government overreach, then so are these. It’s my God-given right to die as violently as possible in an easily-preventable accident.
VoteNixon2016to The Onion@midwest.social•Federal Regulators Hold Celebratory Seatbelt-Cutting CeremonyEnglish3·1 month agoThe United States has some very rural areas where you can be the only vehicle on the road for miles. “Stupid” driving is safer for other people there than “smart” driving is in more populated areas.
But if you’re not in favor of totally deregulating public roads in areas like that, then let’s look at just the light situation.
Having a light out is much easier to notice than whether or not someone is wearing a seatbelt, and is also used by law enforcement to pull people over, meet quotas, etc.
If I don’t have headlights, but your taillights work, I can still see your vehicle in front of me and avoid a collision. Likewise, if I don’t have taillights, but your headlights work, either you should see my vehicle in front of you and avoid a collision, or you shouldn’t be driving at all if you can’t tell you’re getting closer to my vehicle.
In both situations, the lights on your car are sufficient to keep you safe if I choose to be “stupid” and drive without lights.
VoteNixon2016to The Onion@midwest.social•Federal Regulators Hold Celebratory Seatbelt-Cutting CeremonyEnglish7·1 month agoIf you think about it, all regulations stemming from the DoT are.
They’re infringing on my right to drive with no head or taillights.
They’re infringing on my right to ignore traffic signs.
They’re infringing on my right to drive on the left side of the road.
They’re infringing on my right to drive a monster truck on the highway.
In a truly free country, I could drive my truck with 66" tires down the so-called “wrong” side of the road in the dead of night with no lights whatsoever. Sure, I might injure or kill someone, but I also might not, and stopping me from doing so is clearly stopping me from my pursuit of happiness.
VoteNixon2016to The Onion@midwest.social•Federal Regulators Hold Celebratory Seatbelt-Cutting CeremonyEnglish9·1 month agoSee, this is what happens when they stop teaching civics in school. Article VIII § 2, “in the event that some means of transportation referred to as an automobile is invented, Congress shall enact no laws that infringe on the inalienable right of all men to launch themselves through the windshield of said automobiles.”
At least read the constitution if you’re gonna make claims like this
