Extreme and unaccountable sure, but fringe and discountable... about 90 million followers on twitter alone aren't exactly that. I do agree that the media needs to stop feeding the troll, however.

Symbols usually become symbols due to them being glaring examples of an injustice. George Floyd became a symbol, for example, due to the obvious unreasonableness of him being killed violently on the street when an officer responded to the u

In many countries, WhatsApp equals texting, period. No one will use sms, among other things because they're not free (~20 cents per message, character limited, no multimedia). The reality is that WhatsApp is a requirement for social li

I already knew this but it's still fucked. In my country WhatsApp is used for everything from talking to friends through setting up a date with your hairdresser to group activities like school parents groups. There is an expectation th

They can be. If you're curious, check out "worlds toughest prisons" on Netflix, an episode that shows a Norwegian rehabilitation-focused prison. You can see how the place is both secure and warm.
