Fuck these cunts.

It’s like the dumbest spy story ever.

So reading between the lines here, Romania has lost the political will to take this any further.

They’ve been allowed to flee to the US, where Romania will find it difficult to extradite then.

This just really fucking sucks. These assholes aren’t going to face justice, and will continue building a media Empire by spreading hatred and misogynism.

Legislation is made by governments, case law is made by judges when they issue rulings on cases.

A Jury’s role is to determine whether a defendant committed the acts they are charged with. If a Jury oversteps that role and undermines the judges ability to apply the law, they are literally making up the law.

Obviously the citizenry should push back on a corrupt state, but that doesn’t mean that jurors should just make up the law because they like the defendant.

I think you’d be hard pressed to find any lemmy users who did not already know about Jury Nullification, sadly however most users seem to have a poor understanding of it. As though Juries should just make up the law for cases they hear based on the vibe of the case.

This is the only account I’ve used since I created this account, and I don’t presently have any intention of using any of my other accounts again at any time.

So the remedy to a system which applies the law unequally is to have juries apply the law unequally?

Nuclear was always going to be a gambit.

They would’ve been better off just being laggards. “Clean” coal et cetera.

It’s not that dirty, just how campaigns are run now.

This is pretty radical economic policy.

Is there any research supporting all of this or just the vibe?

Labor ran on negative gearing reform and we got morisson.

Hmm. A majority of voters voted for this. If you didn’t vote you don’t count.

I get that a third of the population voted against a Trump presidency, and you do have my sympathy, I just think its important to acknowledge the extent of the problem.

Everyone recommends Tuta in these threads.

I just (finally) had a look at their pricing. Seems egregiously expensive? 6EUR / user / month for their cheapest business plan is a bit nuts

It’s not really an “alt” account, I just don’t think of user accounts as an extension of my identity, and change very regularly.

Hah.

I’ve probably been kicking around the fediverse longer than you, it’s just this particular account that’s only a few weeks old.

Anyhow, feel free to continue giving money to people asking for it on lemmy i guess.

Is it weird that I’ve never heard this term “mutual aid” before this thread but apparently everyone here knows all about it?

Anyway. There’s just no way I’d give real money to someone asking for it like this because for every real person there must be a dozen scammers at least. It honestly seems crazy to me that this could work and people could send money.

If people are giving money away like this then they’re part of the problem IMO. You’re encouraging scammers, and perpetuating the practice, diverting money away from the people who actually need it.
