Russia is not considered bad right now because in the past it was bad. It’s considered bad right now because of invading neighboring countries and that it is also Europe’s last true colonial empire. Germany was bad. Now not so much.

If Tiktok gets banned perhaps people (non elites) will start wondering about regulating other social media. It’s a desire on my part that this occurs. I’m not stating that it will occur or has occurred.

Right now, Poland, the Baltics and Romania fear Russian agression and are very much opposed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This is the present reality and that at some point in the past other nations were more feared than Russia is

But the nations I mentioned see Russia as a threat and not their NATO allies. This is what we are discussing. What does it matter that some people hold grudges for a long time when that isn’t pertinent to the discussion at hand?

It doesn’t matter why Europe is dependent on American guarantees when we are discussing the state of the world as it is now. Perhaps the information you’ve provided would be helpful in developing a long term goal of non-dependence on the U.

It does not matter what happened historically. We are talking about what is happening now. The Baltics, Poland, Romania, etc. see Russia as a threat and not their NATO allies.

China is an adversary to Europe. You may not see it as the main one but it is one. Don’t have to always target the main adversary. European security is dependent on American guarantees and as such it is in Europe’s interest to not deviate

Of course it’s better when we do it to ourselves than when an outsider does it. It’s rational for a country to prevent its main adversary from collecting massive amounts of data on its people and to prevent its adversary from getting peopl

If the game is deliberately made to be addictive, leads to emotional distress and is overall harmful then curbs should be put in place. Game developers should not be adolescent behavioralists; the regulators should be.

You could use the same reasoning about anything that is called “addictive and toxic”. Sometimes something really is addictive and toxic and should have curbs on it. Instead of talking about what it sounds like we should discuss what it ac

Trump openly asked for Russia to hack the DNC. And they did so. Cleary Russia interfered in our election. I don’t blame them for doing so. We interfere in other nations’ elections but one should not deny the obvious.

I have made no such argument. My original comment above was a response to someone saying that Russia/China don’t need to engage in what I call information warfare. My response was that they do engage in it. And your first paragraph ab

You just can’t agree that being opposed to the polio vaccine is entirely idiotic. It’s amazing. It’s been an effective vaccine for over 50 years. There is overwhelming scientific and statistical evidence that it is a good thing and that

The effectiveness of the polio vaccine has been demonstrated for many decades. That now polio is on the rise and the number of morons who are opposed to that vaccine is due to “propaganda”. State sponsored information warfare has taken wh

In an academic setting where people are using precise terminology these nuances are worth debating and are important. But in a forum such as this one where it is clear what one means by “democracies” this is not appropriate. Clearly there

And yet they do interfere and are actively engaged in sowing dissent, discord, and wacky ideas by utilizing the power of social media. Your comment is at odds with reality. The rise of people being against something as obviously beneficia

The word “democracy” has a colloquial meaning that is used in common speech. In the U.S. we have a “democracy” as that term is used by most people. You sound like the people who say communism has never been tried. Talk about straw man!

It is for the rich. Is there any other way to see it? Obviously a large majority of the world’s 8 billion people can’t afford to travel. Maybe it bothers you that the amount of wealth required to stay in Hawaii puts it out of reach for y

I reiterate what ai previously said: In the same way people are disinclined have a discussion on the merits of flat earth beliefs people are disinclined to discuss the merits of ideas from the Brent Johnsons of the world.

My experience with air pods, as an anecdotal example, is that it’s a great product if you can get it to charge. I’ve had 3 pairs and they all had the same problem. One bud would be out of charge and the other fully charged. Sometimes nei

Brent Johnson is CEO of a wealth management firm. He dupes people into investing with his firm by exploiting peoples’ propensity to think “this time is different”. In the same way people are disinclined have a discussion on the merits of

It’s easy to make such a convincing video. Convincing to those with no expertise in the subject. But in 5 years when it hasn’t come to fruition will you remember how wrong he (and by extension you) are? Another conman will take his place

Can you explain why the U.S. will experience hyperinflation while other countries that have much higher debt to gdp ratios haven’t experienced hyperinflation? When will the U.S. experience this hyperinflation? I’ve heard this prediction f
