Do you think the trade wars trump administration opened with Europe mexico and canada are in the benefit of free trade, or US supremacy? Before you have a moral right to invoke reciprocity you should actually abide by that principle. This a

Why shouldn't you care? You obviously think a genocide is a big injustice. Your frustrations with injustices cause you to belittle another injustice and even call the actual act of rememberance "propoganda". People should ca

In both genocide cases there's huge ignorancy. Your comment is unwarranted. Both because you note on a differentiator in a case where there's not a big difference. And because your explanation assumes much more than a simpler exp

Would you have bought these items otherwise? If the answer is no, then you were "sucked in". Google AdWords was great, you search for product X you definitely wanted to buy X, that's reasonable personalization. Now they wan

The fact that an entire industry is distateful doesn't make it ok. This sort of article, which shines this light, might make these companies think twice before "asking" to control the narrative.

If you think that is the reason the dean suspended him, you are being naive. He suspended him because he's afraid of financial repracussions. The post modernism went off the rails because of the reasons I mentioned. Otherwise it could

huh? They did the research, reached conclusions, and inform the public. That's what scientists should do. Why do you think they first decided they don't like vitamin D, and only then cherry picked research to prove it? Anyway, If
