Factually correct, but let's not pretend previous governments gave a hoot about honorable conduct and integrity beyond appearances. So maybe it's more accurate to call it simply a less dysfunctional time in US-American governance.

Bit more than a rounding error if it's a percentage of total revenue.
Though it's absurd that industries exist that make such insane profit margins by destroying our planet that they could still easily pay the highest possible fine under this law.
Stripe can also go fuck itself and die, thanks
Unfortunately they are indeed big players, Stripe where people use credit cards and PayPal everywhere else. Both horrible companies that we'd be a lot better off if replaced with privacy-respecting alternatives.
Yep, people don't know what a defense doctrine is and actually eat up the idea that nationalist grandstanding is effective diplomacy. Stupid.
Shutting the fuck up in any context at all is not in Trump's playbook.
Of course not. That's the point. Fudge your own numbers to make Dems look worse by comparison, keep govt employees afraid of you, and further weaken public trust in government institutions. Win-win-win.
Yes that is absolutely the norm in such communities. It was the same for subreddits that went default.
Obviously you can't trace every single up-/downvote and comment to a certain gender, but it's very apparent from the content of comments and the general tone. That's the whole issue.
I entirely agree. Power dynamics and questions of projected vs chosen identities add whole new dimensions to the matter. I restricted myself to this limited analogy to avoid losing those who aren't ready for that conversation and insist on limiting themselves to an individualist perspective.
We're all human but that doesn't erase systemic issues. And not being effectively brigaded is all they ask for.
Imagine every public linux forum overrun by 90% Windows users, and you might start to get it.

Are you really gonna make me list all the heinous shit the US has done and worked to normalize before Trump?
No this isn't normal. But wasn't before either. Now a lot of people in the US are no longer in a position to pretend otherwise. And if there's anything good that could come out of the Trump administration, it's that those people might start to understand the meaning of solidarity.
