You're free do the research into what the Texas model is actually achieving. States with more amenable conditions for pigs don't have the problem that Texas has. There is a responsible way to manage a population. Shooting pigs to

It sounds like a great way to earn the company of fellow psychopaths. The ecological need is easy to understand, but turning it into a "sport" tells you a lot about the caliber of people we're living with. The people engaging

That was deliberate disinformation in order to save masks for the "frontline workers". Fauci has stated that in one of the hearings.

Sure, but they are also the arbiter of truth now. FB tried to be purely a platform but society has asked them to "annotate" fake news or propaganda. So FB is now playing an editorial role. However we got here, it's not a gre

- People are spending all (slight hyperbole) their time on those platforms, - The news is informed by the content on the platforms The platforms control the information and they control what people see as the "news".

Solid observation. Please proceed to disregard my propaganda and consume information strictly from state-sanctioned entities.

May I ask who paid for your comment? Why do you automatically assume that there's an organized campaign when the viewpoint disagrees with your own? [Removed. Thank you commented below for the reminder to keep my background out of it] I

If a had a penny every time ... There needs to be a better response to pointing out hypocrisy. If you care about China's abuses but not ours and our allies, you do not have the moral high ground, and morality is a political tool to you

It's a little more interesting than that. The US has indicated it would invade if its servicemembers were prosecuted. The act is colloquially referred to as The Hague Invasion Act.

It's the logical end to the social media arc.

I'm happy to hear that and glad we're on the same page. It is whataboutism, and I do it because I come from a place where people have been subjugated for decades, and if you protest that, you're called an antisemite. (Yes the

I understand namecheap's decision because they have coworkers in Ukraine. However, unless you apply that same logic to the US, UK, and a host of other nations, you are being hypocritical. They have murdered so many civilians, including

Beautiful. FTR I'm totally against the war and completely understand where namecheap is coming from. But this is proper racist.

The email and CEO's explanations say otherwise.

That does need indeed put it into perspective. This was a decision made by someone who has heard horror stories and seen their cheery teammates turned into shells of themselves.

No sympathy with people who have no control and don't support this war? The last pill had support at 8%. You can't speak your mind in Russia. The population is not guilty.

It's a great watch for that reason and for laying out just how much of our political systems are pure theatre. Fantastic production to boot.

Simulation and Simulacra is probably where hypernormalisation got its inspiration.

It's not really an easy situation. There were many complications even with states like Greece, Turkey, and (North) Macedonia. I cannot imagine what Poland and the other formerly occupied states would do if Russia were invited. At the e

I did not claim that was the case. It was a hypothetical to point out that sovereignty is wielded in an argument when it's convenient. We don't care about sovereignty when we're violating it.

And the same frequencies that were dominant in 2003 are now shutting out the other voices. The Bill Kristols and David Frums are going to awaken from their hibernation. It's pointless to argue really--there's 0 hope that we'l

Great to know. Thank you for sanitizing this discussion and shutting out trolls and apologists (like myself). I'm sure that if Cuba or Venezuela entered a pact with Moscow that placed ICBMs on their territory, we would respect their so

People are wary of government messaging because of things like the Gulf of Tonkin and the WMD debacle. Unfortunately in this case, it was credible and the strategy of declassifying did seem to work but clearly Putin has made up his mind. On

I agree wholeheartedly. Let’s discuss this along with lifting collective sanctions imposed on Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela. That is a form of collective punishments that starves civilians. I’m very cynical about the outrage re: those “r

1. America declared the war on false grounds, like most wars since WW2 2. It makes 0 difference morally whether you’re targeting domestic or foreign civilians 3. America starves civilian populations outside formal states of war. https:&#x2
