Seven out of ten Nazis killed in WWII were at the hands of the Soviets.

The US constitution explicity enshrines the right to enslave people. I know of no other constitution with such a stipulation. All of the other rights you mention go out the window when people can just straight up be enslaved.

Every single democrat, Bernie and AOC included, just gave full-throated support to Biden as he presided over the greatest wealth transfer in history.

This literally goes against the very underpinnings of communism...

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.

II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.

III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws.

The world did indeed used to be a brutal place. I guess I'm trying to understand what conclusion you're trying to draw.

The argument is right there in the article.

But Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez never indict capitalism as a system or call for a struggle against it. And they supported and hailed the Biden administration even as it was presiding over the greatest-ever accumulation of wealth on the part of the financial aristocracy.

For all their fulminations against the oligarchy, they carefully avoid advancing any demand that would deprive the billionaires of their ill-gotten riches. They pretend that society can be changed without a drastic redistribution of wealth, which requires the expropriation of the billionaires.

Tldr: critiquing the system only insofar as to not question capitalism.

All my listening [in my car] is through headphones off my phone.

This is unsafe at best. Illegal at worst.

VP already has the same requirements as president in the main body of the Constitution.

Show me how this keeps Trump from being allowed to succeed into POTUS. Yall are backpedalling because you've never actually read the Constitution.

The 22nd amendment prohibits Trump from doing this

No it doesn't

well sure, but the "main body" (the articles...) does

But the clear intent is to..

And there's the rub. You have an extremely weak and vague Constitution that everyone has so far just agreed to follow with a wink wink, nod nod. Once the first demagogue showed up, that shit went out the window.

What are you talking about? The amendment makes no mention of VP or succession.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Biggest evidence of fascism I see is a constitution which explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people.

 

On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:

  1. I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
  2. I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
  3. I start the gluetun container
  4. I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
  5. I start the qbit container
  6. I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui

Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.

Thank you in advance.
