if we are in a position where civilian targets are getting bombed we have other problems. not mention in said "war" if we are reliant on green energy we will certainly lose to whoever bombed our power plants.

exactly, they are proud to tell you they block videos that are "problematic" from being recommended. But problematic to whom or what is not described. As this would surely reveal their bias in their algorithms. And also who our ov

The things that jumps out to me is how statistics and studies like this shape the larger cultural discussions, legal discussions, and public policy discussions. It really shows how data can be munged, cherry picked, and altered to fit any n

Now that media has to tell the truth they have to get the negative Trump spin in to justify the vitriol of the last 5 years otherwise the narrative wouldn't make sense.

If he did the media would say he was a madman firing people for not believing a conspiracy theory. He can't win with you folks.

This is an example of "anything Trump says I must believe the opposite" logic that has plagued our country for the last 5 years.

Ho Chi Minh was trained at Lenin's "Comintern" with the expressive goal of training foreign assets to spread Soviet communist interests. These assets would be funded and supplied by the soviets to agitate revolution in their

Reason is Kaczynski was actually a genius intellectual that went mad. His observations in many ways are completely accurate. His solutions are naive, as he thinks these things could have been corrected. They must take their course unfortuna

it wasn't all for nothing. there was time when Americans cared about advancing a free world. Free from soviet style communism. And this was an ideal worth sacrificing for. Unfortunately, Americans have been demoralized by propaganda to

Agreed, We literally took over Afghanistan in a month and installed a government but somehow we lost? We just don't really have a dog in the fight anymore. This isn't defeat.

The US was fighting a proxy war with the soviet union. We had no interest in defeating the vietcong as much as stopping the spread of communism. Ho Chi Minh was a KGB agent and the communist revolution was largely born of soviet agitprop. S

The fact your comment is upvoted says all you need to know about the parcipatants in this thread. China merely isn't just engaged in industrial espionage because it works to not duplicate effort. They steal to undermine the effort of

Your questions are making the assumption that this would cost more and limit choice. This is not how markets work, this is exactly what government regulation and crony capitalism does. Even in the case of your Spotify but not YT music examp

Net Neutrality has nothing to do with individuals and more to do with "entities"..entities like corporations and other very wealthy edge providers. corpos who are more worried about limiting their competition and using government

by badmadrad 5y ago
Correct, this is merely a fight between corporations on who controls the flow of information. As we have seen edge providers are also information monopolies who can censor and limit who use their platforms based on subjective whims.

There isn't any major political stance that doesn't use social media and PR groups to astroturf. Anyone pretending they aren't astroturfing are lying and you should be wary of them.

The biggest threat to humans is other humans. You can be friendly and cooperative but still wary of people you don't know. In America, you aren't forced to have a gun. Freedom is our core ethos. You choose to have a gun. You are m

Unions are labor mafias that extort money from companies or government. They do whatever they can for workers at the expense of people that rely on those workers. Furthermore they are just political machines for uber liberals and other left

So it seems the prevaling narrative from the lefties here is that because Parler was used to incite the riot it was deserved to be shut down? Is there proof Parler was anymore responsible than every other social media platform? If this is t
