Judges without elections have a pretty free hand to be racist or misogynist pieces of trash.
So do judges that oppose these. Meanwhile in a racist or misogynist electorate judges will be compelled to cater to those “values”

Yes there is. You need the entire country for national elections and there is one government from one parliament. You might have the same on state level, where interference is easier. But you need thousands of judges in thousands of districts. That will become very easy to interfere with.
But a corrupted muncipal parliament does not have the saem effect, like a corrupted judge, who can let his buddies off free, while imprisoning journalists and other critical dissidents against the cartels.
Problem is the American people being openly in favor of genocide, as long as their team is the one committing the genocide. This includes the “progressives” you find here on lemmy, arguing that it is okay to vote for genocide because the Reps would do more genocide.
The American people, and many other people in the world (Germany, UK, France…) are complicit.
Meanwhile under US occupation the production had soared to record highs. Just like in the golden triangle, once the US invaded Vietnam.

I hope for these lawyers to fail in disgrace with their pathetic lies.
Bahrain is practically a puppet of Saudi Arabia and Morocco is sucking up to Saudi/US/EU so that they support their illegal occupation and annexation of West-Sahara.
In other words the only Arab voices there were Saudi voices.
This is just nonsense, i am sorry. 15 years is a long time. The goal was to establish diplomatic ties with Iran again. Instead the US pushed for military hostility. Also it is cynical to demand Iran to have no missiles while the US is stationing missiles in bases and ships in the region.
“why is there surviving witnesses?” unacceptable.
The IEA and everybody else involved in the oversight disagrees.
Also “Iran is one year from developing a nuke” was the go to scare headline for like the past decade.
For comparision, in Berlin Germany there is currently an unnecessary and deeply unpopular inner city highway extension being built. It costs about €300 million per kilometer.
I doubt that they care much.
Trump broke the JCPOA and sanctioned Iran randomly. Then after a brief time of lip services from the European countries they also fell in line with Trump to sanction Iran. Biden was happy to continue Trumps policy.
Instead of stabilizing the region and opening Iran to the West, which was probably Obamas greatest diplomatic achievement, they doubled down on pushing Iran to China and Russia.
Iran was heavily sanctioned before. They didn’t budge, because they know the US to be lying traitors and the Europeans to just do the bidding of the US. Adding more sanctions on top now will not change that.
Unless the US and Europeans develop some resemblance of political quality of the Obama administration, there is no reason for Tehran to listen to either of them.
Vittel was like 2€ the litre in Germany before they stopped selling it here. So the fine is just the price of like a million bottles. A modern bottling machine can bottle around 80.000 bottles per hour. I couldn’t find the capacity of that plant, but using this as an upper limit, the fine corresponds to about a days worth of bottling.
More precisely the Palestinians are illegally occupied and occupied people have a right to defend themselves against the occupation.
I think this has important ramification for all non white Americans. The response to this will show, whether non white people are allowed to demand justice, or whether just asking a court to rule on a case, so the mere access the judicial system, is reserved to white people alone.
It does not matter if the face of an administration or party is black, asian, a woman or of whichever marginalized group. The fundamental question is:
Will people outside the white supremacy be allowed to seek justice from an independent court or not?
Pretty much they mean “we say sorry if you keep letting us do it”.
Now they will know if they can get away with it and subsequently kill more international peace activists to push the remaining ones out, so they can go back to murdering Palestinians without holding back.
First of all its ghoulishly disingenuous for you to conflate providing arms. Which is wrong I’m not justifying that. To actually killing people.
You do know that if you provide a weapon with the knowledge that the person will use it to kill someone, you can get convicted for being an accessory to that murder, which entails the same criminal punishment?
So for normal crime it is absolutely considered to be on the same level
I mean i am fully in support of PC gaming and in particular Linux gaming. It is just not as easy to keep upgrading PCs component by component. Eventually there is limits, mostly from the mainboards limits.
Within limits though. E.g. If your mainboard only supports old CPUs that is a huge limiting factor and we saw MS messing with older CPUs just not being supported at all by Win 11.
Now i made the switch to Linux myself too and i am very happy, but for people who want to start somewhere, maybe starting with their own linux gaming PC is a bit much for the start.
It is not just climate protesters getting the brunt. Anyone protesting for human rights, anti discrimination, anti fascism or any progressive cause will get various levels of supression, if not just straight up police violence.
Meanwhile literal Nazis are treated fairly nicely and during Covid the police was beating up permitted protests to make way for non permitted Nazi/Esoteric/Conspiracy protests.
So who is bypassing congress to deliver bombs to Israel? Is it Trump? I thought Joe Biden is the current president. And Biden kept pushing the fact that he is a staunch Zionist. Also Harris kept talking about supporting Israel, providing a stage for families of Israeli hostages, while denying any Palestinian to speak on stage at the DNC congress.
However your immediate attack shows exactly the problem. When people have the wrong skin colour or are in the wrong place, American culture is fine with denying them their humanity and human rights. And that is across the political spectrum as you are showing with your comment.
