I think we’re at the part in Animal Farm where the windmill fell for the first time. https://youtu.be/uqH_Y1TupoQ?si=0t30EUUTIjtzoowh
For those looking to not get lumped into the tracking…
For those looking to actually not getting tracked (except for my nginx logs that are rotated, cleared and forgotten about anyway): https://piped.30p87.de/watch?v=uqH_Y1TupoQ
ackshually’d again bahaha. Can someone point me in the direction of where to get started in the piped game?
Most official/big instances get banned by youtube pretty quickly. To host your own, you essentially just run one docker compose, that’s it. If you want it to be public, you’ll need a public IPv4 and configure a reverse proxy (eg. nginx).
For a second I thought he put out a new video.
CGPGrey is an absolute treasure
What does a windmill have to do with anythjng
Allusion to Animal Farm, which is relevant to the discussion about class warfare.
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel about farm animals taking their farm back from the farmer who owns them. After a while of having core tenets, their first and most important rule “All animals are equal” suddenly gets appended with “…But some are more equal than others.” After this, the events are heavily based off of the rise of Communism*, and more specifically Leninism throughout the newly formed Soviet Union.
*Not to say that the entire book isn’t an allegory for the rise of Communism but that’s the way writing this brief summary sounded well in my head.
Can’t the attorney appeal the verdict in the US?
In criminal cases, the rule against “double jeopardy” means the government can’t appeal a “not guilty” verdict. The defendant can still appeal a guilty verdict though.
Interesting. Do you know why it is like that in the US and not in some other countries? Is it because the jury makes the decision?
It’s a consequence of how courts interpret this part of the US constitution. That provision was based on common law so i would imagine some other related legal systems might have something similar, at least historically.
In the context specifically of nullification, the CGP Grey video referenced by OP covers exactly this, but to summarize: the combination of that rule with another principle (that juries can’t be punished for their decisions) creates the concept of “nullification”. If the jury believes that a defendant is guilty but returns a “not guilty” verdict, the defendant walks and the jury can’t be held legally responsible either.
