I’m practice it only presents a problem to those who have previously testified but might be called as witness, so the def can confront them.
The only thing gained would be is now it’s easier to bribe or threaten witnesses into not testifying. If you wish to not testify at all as others have mentioned I don’t recall or I was tying my shoes are there for you to use.
not applicable to billion-dollar military boondoggles or handouts for corpos
You asked what good ideas to which he responded limiting government spending. Then you rebuke the notion that limiting wasteful spending is a fundamental good idea by criticizing politicians for not doing it in military boondoggles or with corporate welfare. Those are critiques of politicians not the ideas, as those negative examples are when the idea isn’t applied.
I agree that we should curtail wasteful military spending and corporate welfare. But in advocating for those you yourself advocate for the idea of limiting government spending.
Very good point. People online like to read one comment from someone and put them in a group then prescribe the values of that individual to the entire group.
Don’t shape your world views or perception of reality on what you read on Lemmy.
“You look like a spy” Which is sadly why my career as a spy never got off the ground.
NGL my first impression was no sarcasm because of the lack of s/. I thought Lemmygrad just had another leak.
I think most of this is attributable more so to the abolition of serfdom and the industrial revolution than the communist one. The US also had those improve during the same period too.
An ex employee of his got accused of being in a minor’s DMs.
The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.
The three countries most well known for their open and fair democratic processes.

I was making the point on the notion that we might be alone in that vs animals. If you don’t distinguish man from other animals, why would you assume that they couldn’t?
I think Cory Booker has potential. But a ham sandwich is the most electable candidate today. Just be somewhat alive and not problematic.
Not born in America. So he’s a no go.
For the sake of clarity is my claim is that most nations won’t accept the legitimacy of any ICJ ruling against them as there is no practicable means of holding a nation to account. A judiciary without an executive is an exercise in futility.
There is no crime without a consequence.
Any nation at the point of which informed reasonable third parties declare them to have committed war crimes isn’t likely to just slap their knee and say “you know what, my bad” after a ICJ ruling.
It’s one thing to respect the ICJ when you are a third party. It’s another when you are in the nation subject.
If the ICJ declared that many European countries violated human rights by not allowing criminals defendants to face their accusors, I doubt many of them would reform their justice system.
Seemingly not among the involved party. What punishment can flow for this crime and the court’s finding that wouldn’t be levied otherwise.
The indica of respect and legitimacy of a court is if their rulings are abided. Convince Israel a court with no Israelis should be the final arbitrator of their nations course of acts.
A global judicial body unrecognized is effectively moot. You, me, and a few other here on Lemmy could all denounce any nation’s treatment of others but that wouldn’t mean much. We’d just be some random people complaining on the Internet.
Legitimacy and respect are critical to any court. Without them the courts have no merit.
Also even if you could generally, you couldn’t do it for this as America has very strong free speech protections.
Realize that this is a small bubble and susceptible to group think. Don’t base your world view on Lemmy.
Civics was a single class in highschool.
We need a STEM type push for more civics in highschool and middle school.
It depends IMO picture or thumbnail with serious gore yes. Simply text or images in article no.
