Careful, you're pointing out the hypocrisy on display. People don't like that. They prefer to wallow in their virtue signaling about how bad the rest of mankind is for surviving and thriving. The cognitive dissonance they feel t

I’m wondering if Amazon wouldn’t let him do this while he was at the helm They're required to have contingency plans in case something happens to him, but they can't keep him from going. Not that they would if they could.

The very reason you're downvoted is the reason you're right. People have their heads in the sand. They don't realize that there's no political will to oppose China because China has already bought the needed to control

There was a need to rely on the boy who cried wolf at first, since he was the only one out in the fields. There was never a need to rely on Trump. This was a pandemic. Basic journalistic curiosity and integrity should have meant that our

The issues are conflated because the existing legal framework never accounted for what we have today. It's confusing; and unteasing the concerns to find the primary core principles that should be supported isn't easy. The existin

I don't think anyone thought Avenatti had any substance to him. What you're doing is called "gas lighting". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrJwjYPQvhQ Avenatti was ALL over the place in left-leaning

Sorry. I meant nobody respectable So only True Scotsman are to be considered respectable? Rashida Talieb, Ilhan Omar, and other overt anti-semites who appear regularly on national media aren't "respectable"? Let me know w

Fox News Is mainstream news. It literally is the most watched network If you view Fox News as one of many competing news outlets, sure, it's got a big voice. But I'd urge you to view it in terms of collective narrative. The le

Yeah, that feeling of belonging to a team is all that matters to a lot of people. I know several people whose happiness is based upon whether or not the Atlanta Falcons or Braves are having a good season. It's bizarre to me, but there

I think we are in disagreement. I don't remember such a switch, nor can identify one browsing backwards. Concerns about COVID were being cast as "racist" by the Left and the media (but I repeat myself) in the beginning: ht

In my opinion, the scientific community has severely undermined their ethical and persuasive capital over the past year and even longer I would agree with the "even longer". I think it most noticeably started with the scientifi

your view is that it is a giant and incredible cover up by the Chinese government Really? My starting point is that the Chinese government would likely cover up being blamed for a deadly pandemic that has killed millions. They haven&#x27

The email trail is damning. Fauci knew that the possibility was there. Instead of pushing for discovery and transparency of what actually happened, he publicly and vehemently denied the possibility and gave fuel to those who wanted to cal

"knew"? That seems to be the wrong word.

When Trump himself floated the lab-leak hypothesis last April, his divisiveness and lack of credibility made things more, not less, challenging for those seeking the truth. Right, it's Trump's fault that the media and political

I know that most people won't; but if this article is some kind of major a revelation to you, I hope that you take some time to re-evaluate your information sources. You really should think more carefully about how you detect bullshit

Seriously, what's he getting here for his supposed "deception"? Fauci has been covering this up since early on. Have you not followed the story of the released emails from the FOIA request? He knew this research was being

Nah, what will happen is that after renewables replace oil and the Palestinians keep firing rockets, people like you will find a new spin to claim that some grave injustice is being done because the Israelis defend themselves. Anyone who lo

That is a good explanation for one of the videos, but it certainly doesn't address others. It also doesn't address first-person sightings by military observers, as interviewed in the video I linked to.

You're making my point. China is literally wiping out the Uighurs. There's no hair-splitting or propagandizing about it. They're committing actual genocide. But besides a few mentions here and there, the international com

Because the argument has validity. If Israel weren't Jewish, nobody would care about it. You can go line by line describing Israel and its so-called "atrocities" and I'll show you countries that are far more appropriate

Your comment is a straw man because I never claimed that you couldn't be critical of Israel but not be antisemitic. In fact, I said it's theoretically possible. I just find that in practice, people who show their hand at being a

it’s a colonial ethnostate Palestine is not an ethnostate That's a strange view on the situation. Let's say I give you a choice. 1. Be a practicing Jew living in Palestinian-controlled territory. 2. Be a practicing Muslim liv

1. There's a lot of irony in your statement, since Jewish people were slaughtered and horribly mistreated in those other countries simply for being Jewish. So how have they not been ethno-states... or at least "anti-specific-ethn

It doesn't matter how much Israel attempts to conflate Zionism with Judaism. Pre-judging all Jews because of it is antisemitic.

People can be critical of the state of Israel, but they should not be antisemitic. Theoretically, I guess, but it's really strange how the one tiny country in the whole world that has a Jewish-dominated society is so often a target f

It’s interesting to see how much work people seem to think that framing the Drake equation as a “thought experiment” does. If it’s a thought experiment, stop calling it an “equation”. People hear that something is an equation and they thin
