Very much similar to the Tuskegee experiment. When your opressors experiment on you in the name of science it is logical to distrust the science of your oppressor. Would any Jew in 1950 have willingly taken a German vaccine?

This has everything to do with American excetionalism. We have funded four failed coup attempts because the leaders won’t play ball with American ideology. Just like us funding the coup in Iran which let islamist extremisrs overthrough a de

It’s a diffetent kind of abuse. The concept of climbing the corporate ladder only really exists for executives, not for corporate wage slaves. As an academic your best career choice is to work your way up in one organization. As an enginee

There’s an irony here. The adamantly pro-nuclear crowd tends to be just as vocally anti-regulation. It’s stranfe that proponents of a “trustless society” are willing to put so much faith in corporations and governments ability to do the rig

> That money would be spent 100x better in a church charity or something similar. Or in the case of an evangelical mega-church to help pay for the tax free mansions and private jets, essentially charging the taxpayers twice.

Manufactured outrage designed by Republicans to cover up their attempt to violently overthrow the government. To quote Donald Trump Jr, this is a Nothing Burger.

Interesting historical note, this is how Chef was born. Adam Jacobs of Chef was running a Puppet consulting company (hjksolutions). He ran into a bug (#1010) that he couldn’t solve and used up a ton of Luke’s time. Luke worked hard on it bu

You are clewrly juwtifying slavery. Wvery single white supremacist uses this rhetoric: Native Americans enslaved each other so they needed white Europeans to civilize them. Africans enslaved each other and sold them to us so it was OK to ma

Welsh, british, scottish, all the same. All three groups were slavers, both of Africans and of the Irish, not to mention countless other Asian cultures. You rewrite history, white wsshing it to make yourselves out to be the great white sav

To be fair, there are few which have mot suffered the same fate from the British Empire or USA either. This is probably why KSA has never faced any punishment from western powers, they are members of the club.

Who exactly bestows these rights upon people? Governments? Türkiye outlaws free speech through arbitary terror laws (see: HDP politicians imprisoned, members of Grupo Yorum who died of hunger protests for not being allowed to sing). Turkiye

The “wokeness” of the silicon valley is skin deep when it comes to money. It’s about giving us coastal liberals fake warm and fuzzies so that we will ignore the source of our employers’ wealth. “We are super lgbt+ friendly and our CEO is ga
