These tyrants have to be stopped. A tyrannical government is far more dangerous to people, including children than your regular criminal. Ironically, by giving the state too much power and therefore increasing the symptoms of corruption, we

9/10 political power, yeah right. That’s why you have things like this being regularly pushed on society from the top down: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vhxVIKmKmlo It’s disturbing. What’s the end game of sexual liberat

> Twitter has a lot of porn on it, and we don't see it as "overrun with porn" That’s why I said “opening the floodgates”. Yes of course there is porn in social media already. It’s still a fact today that you wont see porn

It’s the liberal that’s holding the power here, not the Christian that is fighting an uphill battle to preserve their religious lifestyle, and the right to parent their own children how they want. It’s clear for all that opening the floodga

This is far from the only example. But for this specific example, that’s all I have from memory, the details are lost together with the video. Many of these disappear from Youtube because of Youtube’s strange ToS and flagging system. Facebo

Making Saudi Arabia look like the sole aggressor is incredibly dishonest after the numerous crimes Iran and its allies have openly been committing against sunnis. This issue is not as one-sided as the article tries to make it out to be. The

There is a substantial difference between direct and indirect surveillance. The government cannot imprison you if you prevent a company whom the government is siphoning data from from spying on you. But if you try to shield yourself from th

Unless there are consequences for politicians who push these kinds of laws, we will remain in a perpetual cat and mouse game. I fear that eventually these things do get passed if these tyrants are persistent enough. Do we have a list of nam

I don’t want management in Microsoft making ideological ”corrections” to what I write. That’s simply unacceptable. Thank God we have open source alternatives like LibreOffice. This feature seems to be opt-in, but in the future it might get

I love how it interprets the audio from the phone and uses its microphone as an output device to do networking. I guess that’s what you gotta do if you don’t have no ethernet? Man, I’m glad dail-up has been mostly phased out. It’s super-exp

But that still doesn’t explain how we, or other living beings are able to see and feel things from our own perspective. It is genuinely a hard problem, especially if you try to understand it from a purely naturalistic pov.

I didn’t equate atheists to commies. Let me rephrase that: All commies are atheists but all atheists are not commies. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

If they’re a commie (atheist) they don’t believe in an afterlife anyway, so there isn’t really any accountability in the mind of such a person if they can get away with whatever they do in this life.

China just hasn’t yet gotten the chance to commit as many atrocities abroad yet, which is something that it’s currently threatening to do. South China Sea, Taiwan, the occupation of Hong Kong, Silk road initiative, Predatory lending to Afri

Don’t take the ”highest GDP” statement at face value. It’s not only a lie (the US still has the highest GDP), GDP also doesn’t account for economic imbalances. Much of the Chinese population are living in poverty. Chinese shills will claim

> Bullshit. It's pretty common for young women to consent to do porn and then after the fact (weeks, months, years later) decide that they shouldn't have. Women who consent is out of topic. Although how much some of this consen

There was this case where Pornhub hosted a lot of rape footage of teenagers[1]. Victims came forward, they testified of their abuse and said that they tried very hard to remove videos involving their sexual assault from the platform. They w
