    That lack of accountability, imho, comes from capitalism dictating what democracy can do, and not the other way around. In other countries, democracy limits what capitalism can do, so it’s more or less subordinate to it.

    In the US, capitalism decides what democracy can do, so it’s actually democracy which is subordinated to capitalism.

    No. The problem is not just the university police, but how they deal with protests. First of all, a university having a police force is already crazy, but dealing with protesters with grenade launchers? Maybe America’s problem is not the protests but how they think they should deal with them, just saying.

    Because if you tell me that the police need to arm themselves that much because citizens can be armed too and they need to counter those weapons then the problem is still weapons.











  • Fact is these devices are not illegal because they can run retro games. What is illegal is selling them with the games inside.

    If the batteries were not legally compliant, that’s a whole different matter. But the article puts the focus on how they could play “licensed” games and were illegal when that’s a blatant lie. These consoles are completely legal (from a copyright standpoint) if they are sold without any games and you then get the games by yourself.
