I shred the binding side with a saw, so I can scan the book with my Fujitsu scanner. Easy way to digitalize a entire book.

1·1 month agoBy making it legal, Trump can enforce using it to all state agencies and not just ICE who do not care about the law. I do not know how much it matters for the FBI.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Sociology textbooks made illegal by a board that has no educators on it. Schools will become propaganda machines.
4·1 month agoIn a democracy the government gives students the opportunity of giving information of multiple sources. That is why in Germany we have many self research tasks for history, politics and other social related academic subjects. For science academic subjects we do it too, but more rarely.
The reason why you think “Schools have always been propaganda machines” is that the USA was never a real democracy. It is a Empire with 2 big oligarchy factions: Democratic Party and Republican Party. Because of First-past-the-post voting and the Electoral College it is easy to bribe/threat a small size of people to cheat the vote outcome. Also because they want to be votes again they just go with the popular parties again thus USA is a 2 party system. The Democratic Socialists party and Green Party do exist in the USA but they have no power, so some work the Democratic Party.
Oligarchs stay rich by staying in power. They make the poor even more poor so they do not have time or money to even go to demonstrate. They simply want the majority to stay dumb even at the cost of the world which is going to burn because of climate change.
The USA made sure to fix these issues in Germany after the Nazi regime’s end. But they did not for themselves.
USA has subject states:
quasi-protectorates:
- 🇫🇲 Federated States of Micronesia
- 🇲🇭 Marshall Islands
- 🇵🇼 Palau
2003–2011 U.S. Occupation and Direct Control of Iraq: Today it may still is under the hood with CIA’s control. The CIA is very able to install vassals into another country.
NATO: Just like any other Empire. It has military bases all over the world. While it is not or mostly not occupation, it is still has power with the threat of suddenly send the army home and leaving the land unprotected from other empires/kingdoms/dictatorial regimes.

3·2 months agoThats also the reason why they could get bankrupt. USA is doing Hitlers war economy at this point. Get loan for war, rob other countries (in this case oil) and try to pay off the debt.
We will see if this will work out in the end… I do not know much about state financials, but this seems insane to me: https://www.usdebtclock.org/
Yes this is the answer. No single persons should have this much money. Instead collectives like governments, corps and holdings should have the money. By doing so the governments are also able to control money flow and restrict unethical use cases.
But this would require governments working for the people, people voting parties that are doing stuff for them and not for corruption. Also media outlets need a proper source of independent income to that opinion is not monopolized, which is the hardest in my opinion, because how most outlets are making money is by writing emotional articles so that they are clicked.
How lucky can fascist assholes be? Adolf Hitler survived 42 times… Only the last one not… killed by himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler
We can only hope Trump dies on age soon and the republicans lose due to that follower and power.
