So instead of doing that we should just make the whole internet 4chan? No it won't, not in meaningful numbers. Most people don't want that kind of garbage in their feeds. If they did 4chan would be more popular than Twitter. Most

Jan 6th would not have happened without social media spreading lies about the election for months. It is ridiculous to pretend otherwise.

Either all of social media should be white supremacist, holocaust denying 4 Chan, or it is those platforms' responsibility to enforce thought-crime intervention.

Except social media can't control if Russia will fire nukes. The Russians don't need to rally a russian mob on social media to goto war at all. Twitter can't prevent this from happening by censoring a russian official.

Wasn't their goal to stop the handover of power to Biden? Weren't they using force to achieve that goal by attacking the capitol building to stop congress from being able to proceed? How is that not an attempt to end democracy. An

Jan 6th didn't "cause" catastrophic risk. Events like jan 6th present huge potential risks. If the insurrection had been successful the best case scenario would be economic collapse and possibly civil war in the country where

It is reasonable to say that Donald Trump caused the January 6 insurrection. The bigger issue for platform owners is that the insurrection represents catastrophic risk to them, and it is within their power to prevent it. The social media pl

To be fair they let Trump run with this stuff a long time. It was really only after he led an attempted insurrection based on these "claims" that they shut down his ability to keep spreading this stuff.

I don't doubt there are real people with these opinions. But there are just way too many new accounts pushing pro-putin opinions for them to be real. When I look at them nearly 50% are brand new. It just is too improbable.

Are those online people vaccinated?

He used himself as an example of the protestors. How can he know that unless he is a protestor or knows pro vax protestors?

by pfisch 5y ago
He claimed pro vax people like himself are the people protesting. How can he make such a loaded claim if a) he isn't protesting and doesn't know any pro-vaxxed protesters and b)he doesn't even live in Canada and couldn't

Of course you can. Just get vaccinated. It is literally safer than taking Tylenol.

Are you using your truck to block the economy of Canada right now? Have you participated in the protests with your actual body in any way? Do you even live in Canada or do you represent the interests of another country entirely?

Can we allow a small minority to shut down an economy indefinitely? That seems like a big problem. It is also hard to gauge just how small of a minority of Canadians this is though. It feels pretty small but it is hard to tell. If 80% of Ca

Almost like having false dragons in the wheel of time, and also many predecessors who are real dragons... To be fair though I always assumed the second and third matrixes were retroactive revisions. They are just so different from the first

"the only dichotomy that matters in political economies is that between the wealthy and powerful and everyone else" I always think of this as putting on different pairs of glasses to see the world through different lenses. That is

"Australian concentration camp" do you mean temporary quarantine to stop the spread of Covid? People who were held in real concentration camps would be disgusted with this comparison.

This entire line of reasoning makes no sense at all. Any new disease could cause a massive death toll if we had no resistance to it at all. Our public health systems responds to reality, not theoretical casualties in populations that do not

There is no time in US history when measles killed anywhere near 100k+ people per year. The numbers I am seeing are in the thousands. https://i1.wp.com/vaxopedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/a...

If that is true then why are you sourcing a website that is making wildly ludicrous statistical claims?

It could harm though. Drugs have side effects, and you are talking about giving someone who is already very ill drugs where you have no idea if they work or not, that could weaken them even more. You could use that logic to justify taking a

I have cystic fibrosis. They basically discovered the cure a few years ago. It is called trikafta. What you are saying is ridiculous. The medical industrial complex has problems, but it does deliver very real miracles to millions of people
