Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This sounds like something someone says to try to get out of jury duty.
Tbh, if I wanted to get on that jury, I'd say the same thing. Turns out they kinda like racists, so pretend to be racist then nullify if it's a human and hang the jury if it's a pig.
Kind of a good point, you pretty much have to be a chud to be accepted on a jury of "peers." I'd be terrified of being judged by twelve random dipshits from the city I live in, let alone the city I'm from. They're only supposed to take people that are like, legal theory blank slates, so to speak; but, of course, in Amerikka :amerikkka:, a human being who has so little awareness that two lawyers call them neutral is going to be extremely well-trained at dehumanizing their fellow citizens.
My peers are all communists, your honor
I wonder if it's possible to be so publicly based for an entire trial that they just sort of let you go for reason of insanity. Like just communist shitposting, loudly, at every single party in the court room, including: your lawyers, the prosecutors, the judge, the jury, the sketch artist, your mom, those dudes that walked into the wrong room while looking to register to vote because the state makes them do that in person at the county courthouse as a form of folk voter repression and now it's too awkward for them to leave in the middle of your rant about posadism: y'know, everyone.
im sure non communists have tried that as well. it probably doesn't work
Posting about an ongoing trial as a juror would be illegal. Contempt of court or something. You'd get kicked and they'd use an alternate.
Ranting about communism being good probably makes them more likely to convict you
