This is a terribly bad faith argument. We're literally reading an example of someone being protected by laws and your response is "well this is actually bad for them"?

At the risk of trying for nuance online, therebis a rather large difference between america being (the only) superpower and a country being a vassal.

I love how the constant comeback to this is "well they're sorta-kinda winning the war" as if maybe barely defeating ukraine is some kind of mark of global dominance.

'The west' can do bad things while not actually being worse. It's a complicated world.

Dunno, wasn't paying enough attention. But regardless, if a company can remotely remove my ability to use a product solely at their discretion, we need a better way to talk about than "buying and selling"

This is a ridiculous argument. I have a purely mechanical lawn mower. I can replace any part of the engine, frame, switches, I can add a second engine if I wanted to. An Iphone doesn't let you do any of this. "Their OS", no d

Yes, free university and free healthcare are infrastructure. We already have free highschools after all. What's the moral difference between the government building a road that I get to drive on "for free" and building a hosp

> Hence why society actually tends to proceed due to powerful and often disliked unelected leaders, e.g. business tycoons, who can push things ahead despite this tendency. You had me up until this paragraph. Are you trying to write ayn

This attempted equivalence is wild. I'm not sure if you're uninformed or malicious, but "far right posts" means posts talking about "the jews taking over" or some other racist drivel and discussing which minori

I was just reading a great discussion about how "academics use qualifiers as to how confident they are in the information" and you can see similar trends in spaces like hacker news. But using "uncertain" language seems u

This sentence is so far from reality I'm not sure it even counts as incorrect. First of all, what exactly is a "jewish people"? People who obey the jewish god? People who say they do? People who self-identify as jewish? Peopl
