  • Confessions in police custody without being verified as voluntarily provided by defense counsel should not be admissible in court as a confession.

    The death penalty should be abolished.

    Appeals should have the same reasonable doubt standard as a trail. If new information introduces reasonable doubt is juat as important as whether they followed procedures during the trial. The whole idea that ‘it should have been introduced at trial’ is commonly used to dismiss appeals based on evidence that was excluded or not available at the time, especially for defendents that can’t afford high priced lawyers.




  • Always has been.

    The United States was founded by land owning business owners who didn’t want to pay taxes that didn’t benefit them directly (partially justified because of what it was for) who owned slaves and committed genocide to expand territory. The most venerated citizens are those that built their wealth by ruining the lives of their workers, abusing the patent system, and gangsters. Today’s hustle culture is just the current trend of tricking the poor into working 24 hours a day since we only get to have legal forced slavery in prisons.

    US culture has always been about the centralization of weath.




  • I remember the anarchit’s cookbook and knowing it was terrible at the time. One dumb friend was able to prove it while luckily avoiding seeious injury!

    But what I also learned back then was criticsl thinking as a lot of early websites were just as terrible, but it was a bit easier to tell they were terrible because they did not have any sulporting information like references or examples. Today it is fairly easy to dismiss youtube videos where the person is enthusiastic or doesn’t show the thing from start to finish. The best auto repair videos were some guy with a handheld camera (probably a phone) walking through the process and explaining what they were doing and why. If they stuggle a bit, even better! My favorite channel for someone doing wordworking explains everything in a calm and clear way, shows the process, and explains the ins and outs and why they might have done it differently in the past!

    The worst ones are someone enthusiastic showing five second clips and not mentioning anything about safety or how to know if you are doing it wrong. They are entertainment personalities and not a source of knowledge!
