If they have red lines this needs to be it. If they allow the Republican Party to send people to a concentration camp without due process, especially when they claim they can't get people back, the Supreme Court might as well fire themselves and lock the doors on the way out.

Don't both GNOME and KDE send sigterm first on shutdown?
And centralization solves this how? The other social networks are giving more checkmarks to grifters and scammers than they are giving them to honest people because, spoiler alert, con artists are very good at both building a following and paying bribes.
Putin is in the year 3 of a 3 day invasion, and became a vassal of China in the process.
Trump singlehandedly destroyed American hegemony, removing the tool he would need the most to deliver what the donor class wanted and he keeps losing games of chicken with basically the entire world. And I'm pretty sure Biden would've done lots of things differently if he could travel back in time even a few hours.
If they have time machines they are the most incompetent people on the planet.
Does our world sound like a world where any President of the US and/or Russia had access to time travel?
For $666 they could afford to ship a SD Card and an USB card reader.
That still doesn't invalidate that the authorities tried to deport people without a trial, ignoring the presumption of innocence and rule of law in general. That's at least AfD level disregard for the Grundgesetz.
Everyone involved in this should be forbidden from holding authority until they are able to explain why what they did is the opposite of the values of a Rechtsstaat.
The thing is that they didn't. If I understood the Supreme Court decision, what they did was saying that official actions of the head of state have to be tried by the legislature and not the courts, which is a common arrangement in other countries. The Congress is the one writing blank checks by refusing to impeach and convict Presidents based on party politics.
It's basically the same thing as gambling but with less regulations and social stigma. It's not going to get better if no one does anything - and it's not going to be the unregulated casinos cosplaying as gaming studios that will do it.
Oligarchy is too subtle for what they want. At least Musk is pretty forthcoming on his plans to create a techo-feudalist regime.
This reminded me immediately of The Coffee Machine short story published last year. Reality manages to be stranger and weirder than fiction.
