That&#39;s going to provide a ton of opportunity for other manufacturers to steal that business.<br/><br/>Think of it this way, John Deere is planning to make *10%* of their revenue just from software fees alone by 2030: <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/12/deere_software_revenues/">https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/12/deere_software_revenues/</a><br/><br/>I mean, even if it was just that by itself, can you imagine how completely and utterly fucked *any* company would be if they lost that much of their business? Their ability to stay competitive would get tanked just from the restructuring alone.<br/><br/>Now consider the fact that software fees aren&#39;t just a standalone part of the business. John Deere&#39;s entire pricing model is dependent on the fact that they can force customers into those high margin software fees. Then, of course, there&#39;s all those overpriced service and maintenance fees they can charge because the software means nobody else can work on the equipment.<br/><br/>John Deere doesn&#39;t know how to make a profit off a tractor anymore. You know who does? Every other goddamn tractor company. And even with tariffs, you&#39;re only paying those once instead of having to constantly shell out cash for the entire lifetime of the product.<br/><br/>So, sure, John Deere equipment will be very attractive to farmers if they can jailbreak it, but why in the hell would John Deere keep selling it if it&#39;s not making them any money? 2025-12-29T20:06:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv9hvmfsyttue2vrzc24uszen8nremdfpz9tuu70ntpeyajz3fgjszyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u2s8ccza In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvmq6wyvmpn53tqgv7428ldewp6e590q90d3v9j5kl8zuz2wnchlg7f49xp'>nevent1q…49xp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>John Deere isn&#39;t going to be much of a competitive threat if the company collapses.

We&#39;ve been able to figure out how to make sure I&#39;m not ignoring my own need for time for myself, but sometimes there really isn&#39;t any time for it for some extended period of time and the compulsion builds up again. <br/><br/>Something for other people to consider, though - the kind of people who are denying their own needs in order to take care of the needs and wants of the people around them will also likely have a lot of shame around the idea that they need to carve time out for themselves. That makes it hard to admit to themselves, much less talk to someone else about.<br/><br/>Personally, a lot of my self-worth has been wrapped up in my ability and capacity to do things for people and there was a *lot* to unpack before I could feel comfortable talking to my partner about it.

Their supermajority in the Senate made them completely immune to the Republican filibusters that would later grind things to a halt.<br/><br/>So isn&#39;t it weird that Democrats have never even *tried* to run the same kind of campaign they did with Obama? I mean, if I was even half that successful at something, I&#39;d at least give it another shot, you know?<br/><br/>It&#39;s also not like they don&#39;t have tons of data to know exactly what would get people out to vote in those kinds of numbers. Yet they always handle those kinds of topics like they&#39;re wearing oven mitts.<br/><br/>Do you really need someone as charismatic as Obama to just confidently state that you&#39;re going to make universal healthcare happen? Is it beyond the grasp of all but a once-in-a-generation political operator to realize that compromising with yourself on your own policies will stop your momentum dead in its tracks? They can&#39;t have possibly thought that voters were dying to hear all about how they were going to means test the hell out of student debt relief, right?<br/><br/>None of it makes any sense in the context of a political party that is doing its honest best to execute a legislative agenda. It does, however, make perfect sense for a party that wants to maintain an extremely unpopular status quo but knows they would never get elected if they just said that. A party like that would need to trip themselves up just enough to keep elections close so that they could always blame their inability to pass substantial legislation on not having enough political power.<br/><br/>Otherwise, they have to make bizarre excuses for why their legislative centerpiece amounted to nothing more than a repackaged Republican healthcare bill. I&#39;m supposed to believe that the reason we don&#39;t have a modern, functional healthcare system is because the entire Democratic Party was brought to its knees by *Joe motherfucking Lieberman*? His opposition to a public option was so principled, so full of moral courage that there was no bone that the entire Democratic establishment could throw him tempting enough to get him on board with the single most important item on the Democrats&#39; agenda?

They have made good on that threat. Repeatedly. Their actions have proven, well beyond any ability to give them the benefit of the doubt, that they will claim *anyone* they want to target is a threat to the US. They have taken a phrase that has a specific, legal meaning and rendered it meaningless any time they use it. If they don&#39;t ever use words like that literally, why on earth would you say that we have to treat them as though they do? Why should anyone?<br/><br/>We have to say what they mean because they won&#39;t. Otherwise, the press is nothing more than a mouthpiece that legitimizes fascist speech. You don&#39;t even have to take my word for it - history has proven you wrong on this. Taking fascists at their word and uncritically reporting on their statements as such is how you lose. After all, isn&#39;t that how we&#39;ve *been* treating them? How the fuck has that been working out? Does it feel like that&#39;s been winning us anything?<br/><br/>Sure, you&#39;re not *technically* wrong to pedantically call it an inaccurate way to literally repeat the claims that were made by the lying administration that lies all the time. You are ethically wrong (this kind of hand wringing been proven time and time again to only help fascism along), but not *semantically* wrong. Congratulations.<br/><br/>However, you are straight up, completely, whole-ass, factually wrong to claim that what the OP said is BS. OP correctly identified what the fascists meant by what they said based on the ample body of actions they have taken.<br/><br/>Sorry, I&#39;m sure you didn&#39;t literally use your whole ass to write your comments.

Part of it is that when they see how outnumbered they are, they get scared of immediate consequences. We see that today with how much ICE cries about whatever percent increase in assaults of ICE agents there have been (I&#39;m positive they include hurt feelings in those stats).<br/><br/>However, probably a larger factor was that seeing such a large amount of resistance made them wonder, &#34;Oh shit, what are these people going to do to me if this whole NAZI thing doesn&#39;t work out...&#34; Social pressure is extremely powerful - even more so with cowards.<br/><br/>We have to know who these people are and we need them to know we know. The Sixth Amendment gives us the *right* to know their identities. As we have become all too aware, these rights only exist if we assert that they do.<br/><br/>I say this more for the benefit of liberals than fascists - there is no such thing as doxxing an ICE agent. Obviously, fascists have a vested interest in claiming that they have the right to brutalize people anonymously.

But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next.

Fascists actively seek to destroy language as a means to build understanding. Instead, they twist words and phrases until they&#39;re either meaningless, weapons, or cover.<br/><br/>For a more recent example, remember when &#34;fake news&#34; actually had a very clear, specific definition - media that presents completely fabricated stories as news? That phrase has been rendered not only meaningless to communicate anything useful, but it has also been turned into a weapon the right uses to attack any news they don&#39;t like.<br/><br/>They also love coopting language the left uses because it&#39;s popular. Just like you said, they&#39;re fucking liars and have no intention on delivering on anything that doesn&#39;t give them more power. You see a lot of this particularly when there are very valid criticisms of the status quo from the left. The right will adopt this, not because they give a shit about the movements, but because they hope to leverage that discontent with the current system into, surprise, more power for them (which is why neoliberalism creates such an ideal breeding ground for fascism).<br/><br/>Right-wingers have made political *bank* over the Palestinian genocide. They don&#39;t give a fuck about the Palestinian people and, if anything, they plan on taking an even more active role in helping Israel slaughter innocents. But that hasn&#39;t stopped them from shouting about how Democrats are complicit.<br/><br/>The difference between a leftist and a fascist in this regard is that leftists actually want the genocide to stop and work towards making that happen. This is why it&#39;s fucking stupid to try and make temporary alliances with fascists over issues you think you&#39;re in agreement on. They will use you to create legitimacy for themselves, piggyback off of that to take more power, and then they will put you and the people you were trying to protect up against the wall. 2024-11-18T00:54:05Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvyaqj4xsckhy0nr7c9ftyvvmms9wch9m9a4slxk87yssmc0na3zgzyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u24te2uy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9h7j3efsgkqcpsnuat2xugx4l8n73ncq38adm4xqg9a6rcdl964s5hpupw'>nevent1q…pupw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I feel like there&#39;s a reasonable chance that his administration offs him to give themselves a ton of political capital. His incompetence and narcissism have been major impediments to ushering in fascism.

His cognitive decline is becoming harder to hide from the base. Realistically, how much more use can they squeeze out of him? How long before they decide that he&#39;d be worth more to the movement as a martyr than as a fading demagogue? <br/><br/>They could stage it as an assassination by the left and use it as a pretense to push an authoritarian takeover. Worse, they know Democrats would give them a huge amount of leeway to do it out of a misguided sense of &#34;unity and healing.&#34; We&#39;ve already seen how they react to assassination attempts - Democrats bent over backwards to appease Republicans so as not to appear divisive.<br/><br/>I&#39;m positive that, at the very least, these conversations have been happening within far right circles. 2024-11-13T01:28:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgl2575l3symxsk8f4qk8f8cxcs8342f4cyvrq2vahgcmz3pwdepqzyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u273nmlx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsglcjhmwu0up6qlpjl7dhjfrh3pea9ywhm46qqv09pgg26dpge5xgrfgujg'>nevent1q…gujg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And it is a certainty that the 5 people who will still be run over if you pull the lever will absolutely be run over if you do nothing.<br/><br/>It is an *odious* decision to have to make and nobody who pulls that lever should celebrate and say &#34;we did it, we won!&#34; 2024-10-28T20:40:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsza8lfyc3t3qtex5hhwlu72sk3pmk7u9fsr7c6u73zah3l8tqrd5gzyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u2z28rqh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsggltx6w6dnt7rtnc3hx624pagy9jevc88008patkcwx4sm76uvrck2zwpp'>nevent1q…zwpp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We see this shit all throughout US history: the law is always unequally applied to leftists and conservatives. 2024-10-25T04:55:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfu8qtec3nzny5xd5frv89t6u7yj3s6j9myj5a984khxs3a4vzwdgzyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u2dv9h6h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2tlx2wl6es76ud5ztztjus4859jprrn47yekxlwd6k4wvl9g0l9gk5flyv'>nevent1q…flyv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So he&#39;s saying that the 1/6 insurrection was staged, but that the people who were arrested are unjustly being held as political prisoners?<br/><br/>How the fuck does that work? 2024-10-19T03:59:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs97jqr3x2g9uesy328rxanayzlhce6uf7d3gtp7xlnnfmqw5t462szyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u2clknvj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8lxsxyfdqwv69p57y65l3cuaqy4pxs0wp0wd2scqqza4fdqwdytqn795fj'>nevent1q…95fj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I need to set this up as an auto-responder when certain members of my family hit me up. 2024-10-14T16:19:42Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf55hkcttr8uts7ttvp6anqe4c3ugn07gcuzzkfx77dehrcplvvdszyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u2t2rpc5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspwu99r2y720e2gwfgkljvn3ur54s7lv7pfmtktgkhwc8lrgdrwngc5ulhf'>nevent1q…ulhf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The big difference in my mind about Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats can at least be pushed to do the right thing sometimes, but they have to be **pushed.** 2024-10-14T04:05:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsq0p27tc32zkq32yyp3ggsxge2ntg5rdn88w4gu4w7p9mmpst7cdqzyp8c7crjccs6uha2dz54unzum64f2s2m3e5vnvzr7vjzaqsqdx2u2sf9q32 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd7t57kncra8v0a5l8k5kg6g6jsv22aecc2p04tgnvr02rmm3qh3cd6ffxy'>nevent1q…ffxy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And, for that matter, why do Democrats always blame literally everyone else when they lose?
