Just rereading this, and I have to say, that was the most vague and noncommittal version of "the left are the real fascists" that I ever read lol Anyone who thinks there should be laws against child slavery, and that we should not

Social inertia is working okay for Facebook... kinda... let's go with what kinda works, guys! (Might as well, the alternative is they just pack up their moneytables and get the hell out of our temple...)

It's timewasting to try to keep going with this, but it is nonetheless fascinating, the level of cognitive dischord in the rhetoric. A ransom is paid to someone who has taken something that belongs to you; implying that Facebook someho

I seem to recall your president talking about "shithole countries" and to be clear, I do not mean countries. We have lawless backwaters right here in Manitoba. It's not a question of this or that geographical location, but of

I think the point he's obliquely trying to make is that the monetization of attention is not a thing that can actually be done right, at all. We should have solved the problem of bandwidth costs another way - taxes or paying individual

Looking too closely at that abyss leads to some disturbing implications, for people who like to sit on their ass and collect dividends while other people work.

Again though, Eliza, where is this force happening?

You are seriously misunderstanding the situation.

I can see why people steeped in capitalist ideology, using phones built with child slavery, might not want to talk about the lawless backwaters where they do business. Discussing our own personal, sleek, pretty, touchscreen-having artifact

The law specifically bans the wearing of religious symbols or garb, is my understanding, for gov employees. But the question is not what the law says, but how it is applied, and to whom, which gets lost in the transition to the paper trail.

The laws in question are framed as secularist, but aimed at Muslims who dress differently. I daresay nobody who wears a crucifix in that highly catholic province is going to get much hassle, but wear a hijab, on the other hand... I'm n

Well, they have racist laws aimed mainly at a specific group, and they literally have voted twice in my life about leaving Canada and shortly before I was born they had an IRA style terrorist group called the FLQ. It's a pretty loaded

I missed this article when it came out, but this is more or less exactly what I expected to find out if the truth ever came out. Particularly that last sentence. I'm even more in love with the band now, if that was even possible...
