The sanctions on the ICC judges were just one of a number of illegal things that the Trump admin has done, including their attacks on fishing boats in the Caribbean and the killing of the survivors of those attacks.
A judge ruled that these sanctions were illegal and ordered the Trump admin not to enforce them, but the Trump admin refuses to stop doing illegal things.
I haven’t seen a single example. You’ve hand-waved things that you think maybe sometimes do happen, but no examples of it actually happening.
Debanking, afaik, is more of just something government agencies do at their discretion
Can you provide an example of that happening?
There’s also the way it bypasses many of the protections and assurances we have about the latter, like due process.
How does it bypass due process?
It’s an alternative to using more serious threats, like physical violence. The state can freeze your bank accounts to get you to comply with its demands, or it can send a SWAT team in to arrest you.
disrupt the logistics of protests
Again. This wasn’t just a protest.
They could have just used the pen and paper with no cash.
The people who side with the so-called “trucker convoy” that was mostly non-truckers defend it as simply being “free speech”, and “being critical”.
But, what actually happened is that the so-called “truckers” occupied downtown Ottawa for weeks, including areas with high-rise residential buildings. They prevented any traffic from moving, and harassed anybody who came nearby that weren’t part of the occupation. They also leaned on their horns at night keeping people nearby from being able to sleep. Eventually two of the organizers of the occupation were tried and convicted for “mischief”, a crime that can lead to up to 10 years in prison. They got off extremely light with home detention for 1 year and another 6 months of a 10 pm curfew.
Fallout boy?
Why do you think you’d be able to buy groceries with cash if the power grid goes down?
For example: in Canada, the bank accounts of those who protested were literally frozen (for simply speaking out or being critical)
Yeah… try using that lie on people who live in Ottawa, see how it goes.
I’m pretty sure your job title isn’t “Mathematician” though. You’re a “risk analyst” or “quantitative analyst” or something. You’re also not doing pure math, you’re using somewhat advanced applied mathematical processes to model financial information. Just like how a rocket engineer isn’t a physicist but may have a background in physics.
Are you even more worried about the failure of possible legal protections when the government decides to use the navy to sink fishing boats and come back to kill the survivors?
There’s a limit to what you can do when the house and senate refuse to impeach a president who is obviously breaking the law constantly, and when the justice department sees itself as the president’s lawyer.
