I’ve said it before, I’ll say it every time it’s proven again: US consumers get more protection from tech company overreach from EU courts than our own. Our agencies need to have big gnarly angelfish teeth, not this wrist slapping “as long as you share the profits it’s basically legal” nonsense.
Probably true, but this is almost certainly a bs source. The code and list of names doesn’t make sense since Elon is online 23/7 and his real list wouldn’t even fit inside a 50 page dossier…
And conspiratorial post-hoc wound licking is not what we should be engaging in.
The humanist report on Youtube is a reliable leftist source of news that I’ve never caught in a lie. As leftists go he’s also pretty nonreactionary by including things inconvenient for socialist messaging which I appreciate.Vaush is a more reactionary but still rarely wrong source with nuance that most creators across the board miss. Of these two Humanist report is very hard to critique as anything other than genuine so I’d start there.
Government control and avoiding it is a common call in on the majority report and you may benefit from watching just how quickly those views fall apart with some scrunity from Sam Sedar.
The socdem viewpoint is that there are some government functions that shouldn’t be in the hands of private companies because they’re too important, such as healthcare, the millitary, and elections.
I don’t often find libertarians who disagree that some things should be wholly under regulatory agencies because it’s so apparent that corruption in privately owned fields is just as if not more rampant than public and objectively people who want government to fail leading government into the ground by leeching off of it isn’t really the proof that government is bad that they think it is. Personally if one side wants to control healthcare the way other nations do and lower cost to patients and taxpayers and the other wants to control the police and repress protests and the right to vote I don’t see them as equivalent violators, so libertarians voting republican in every election is a bit unconvincing of their objectivity to me.
Not trying to poop on your ability to tell propaganda from not, but considering liberal news the opposition to Ben Shapiros bs is a one way ticket to it. You’ve included 3 types of sources that all appeal uniformly to capitalism and left out leftist/socdem/socialist, which is a very “enlightened centrist” thing to do and basically saying your centrism is centered on the right. Your demographic are exactly why people like Tim Pool succeed in messaging and pulling people further right. Usually anyone who uses liberal as the opposing viewpoint to modern conservatism fits cleanly into this box.
Playing into looting as a means to an end for change we want to see on the left is a political dead end. I don’t care if Walmart gets robbed, neither does Walmart, their insurance may care, but Walmart and businesses like it are part of the biggest lobbying groups for increased police presence and these events are a gift to their narrative.
It’s fine to say I don’t care about retail theft on capital owners that rob workers every day. It’s a whole other thing to say this is how we go about change as a movement and that we actively support and encourage it. Just like abortions, the edge cases that barely happen are the only ones that will be talked about endlessly in media and if we’re simultaneously cheering on the more common cases where the “victim” is an oil baron it’s not a good look. Nuance ain’t America’s strongsuit.
You’re correct in a moral sense although I agree entirely with other posters that politicians need to spread their message far and wide regardless of platform. I do not personally use Facebook or Twitter because I find them to be toxic, predatory, and privacy red flags in the case of Facebook. I rarely use Reddit out of principle when they screwed over Boost devs. The issue though is similar to why boycotts really just don’t work for the left. Our power is in changing the systems at the government level, not at the endpoint or point of sale because almost definitionally we’re not part of the 1% who make or break companies financially. Increasingly even together in unity that’s still the case that our financial incentive offering is relatively minimal to the biggest companies if you ignore mass indignation as a stock value factor.
Twitter doesn’t comply with hate speech laws on social media companies and is used as a tool by Elon to manipulate markets. These are problems addressed through giving teeth to the agencies and that’s always going to be far more meaningful than the 4 cents you contribute in ad revenue before you max out views for the day.
Let’s be honest though, with Twitter it’s going to fail with or without government teeth around it. Elon has already started prepping the narrative to why his white nationalist pickme project is death spiraling.
She was one of the first high profile people on blue sky so it’s not for not trying. Even this criticism though reads a bit like “You dislike capitalism and yet you participate in it.” You can criticise what you partake in, why not?
Guessing no and yes. Their posts lately are unhinged, like the brand new looking mein komph in arabic with notes and highlighter all over it on every page they used to show anyone who opposes them are just Nazis.
Apparently it’s a just unsubstantiated and very unlikely given the change of language such as the word fall meaning courtesy and the lack of written discussion about this as an origin before the 19th century.
This states folklore scholars find it baseless which is good enough for me.
This reminded me of the ring around the rosie song, which prompted me to validate the myth that it’s about the plague before I said some nonsense, which has taught me that I’ve been bamboozled.
Soo, trail of tears in Gaza?
There was a controversial and sexist bait letter someone at Google wrote before being let go and it was heavily propped up by right wing media as an example and justification that everything Google does from now on is left wing because they’re cancelling this poor sexist man.
My first long term job’s company instructed HR to print out the letter and give a strong endorsement of it for seemingly no reason. It basically just read to me as, “Women have strongsuits other than business success like emotions and raising children and their lack of pay is actually justified and good.” that they wanted to come from our female head of HR as opposed to our do nothing remote from Florida male CEO. These rich people are no smarter than anyone else, they just use bigger words as they stick their foot down their own throat.
Well the dollar was a good currency while it lasted.
