American Common Law is really puzzling to me, I do understand the history of the system, trade-offs, etc. but it seems to be quite bizarre that laws can be created or dismantled just through whatever is the interpretation of the court at th

Unfortunately there are lots of people on the sidelines that watch them screaming "censorship!", "persecution!", "injustice!" and fall for it. Any act against them is met with whining and fake outrage, and it w

The deflection to "TDS" is rather boring, intellectually lazy and dishonest, as if any criticism of the absurdities happening in the US right now can all be distilled to "you hate Trump, your opinion is invalid". I still
