Don't forget the term authoritarian, that might be a better word for what some people are trying to communicate. Leftists and socialists can be authoritarians.

Mea culpa on the deferred prosecution thing. That case must have been some next level bullshit for a Cook County prosecutor to scuttle it without even talking to the cops.

InsertPotPun posted:The only reason Nazi Germany was so ok with socialism is because it came with a side of ethnic cleansing. I'm so glad we have this foolproof method of identifying who actually doesn't know anything about history. The reason why the Nazi party chose to identify with socialism, without actually being socialist, requires an understanding of the political climate in Europe that had existed for decades. Basically: The changing geopolitical and economic landscape revealed that monarchs were often incompetent as gently caress. Divine Right was increasingly less compelling of a reason for why lazy idiots are living in palaces while hard working people are starving. The industrial revolution was a loving brutal period, with a select few getting rich as the working poor stayed poor, toiling in wildly unsafe factories, which were some of the most dangerous places on earth. Support for political movements like communism and socialism was widespread, especially on the continent. The Nazis were not going out on a limb choosing a name that associates with socialism, as it was one of the most prominent and supported movements during that period. More importantly, the economic policy of the Nazi party did not reflect socialism by any means. In fact, the Nazis privatized so many businesses, The Economist actually coined the term "privatization" based on the economic policies of the Nazis in the 30s.

It being sealed frustrates me because I want to see in high def all the shady poo poo the CPD was pulling behind the scenes. If nothing else I hope Jussie has a hungry lawyer who feels like they have a chance to sue the CPD into oblivion.

Rent-A-Cop posted:If the prosecutor's office straight up dumped the case I'm guessing what happened was someone took one look at it and said "Prosecuting this will get me disbarred." Or "I found something so incredibly bad that I'm going to have to turn over to the defense that sealing/dismissing the case and putting up with the angry CPD, MAGA chuds, and even the POTUS is the least painful option".

The most straightforward explanation for the case is that the brothers attacked Jussie for homophobic/personal reasons and, when caught, told the cops that Jussie paid them to do it. Rather than actually investigate those blatantly bogus claims the CPD salivated so hard at the concept of taking the successful black man down a peg that they rushed Jussie’s conviction and purposely leaked their dogshit evidence like checks that were obviously for something else. The prosecutor saw how stupid the cops were and dropped it. The problem is that so many people are so convinced of Jussie’s guilt that they’re now adding prosecutorial bribery to the nonsensical story of Jussie’s bizarre plot to have himself attacked and drug through the media just to get a raise or whatever. It’s one of the most naked examples I’ve seen yet of otherwise sensible people clinging to conspiracy theories against all contradictory evidence, just because they are so unwilling to admit they may have come to the wrong conclusion.
