For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.
You could argue that’s what industry-millitary complex is already doing. Along with the media.
While I agree with you, at what stage would you find a job just not worth the carnage?
The only disagreement I have is with the rather sweeping statement:
They keep you poor, and you can’t see through their bullshit.
As it makes it seem that the poor are ignorant, gullible rubes. Lack of money ≠ lack of wisdom, or insight.
We see the games they play and it appals us. Unfortunately it’s the only game in town. To change the game, you’re not only fighting the DNC and RNC, but network effect and inertia. And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.
The last one reminds me of the Paradox Of Tolarence
I think the difference be between Briana’s and George’s killing and why one got the limelight was two fold. One could have maybe explained away as an honest mistake or a bad situation. The other was pretty blatant malice. George being the latter. Outrage takes time to build and can dissipate quickly. It maybe the public had just reached a tipping point after months and years of unlawful killing by police of black people, mostly male, mostly young.
I think the offense people took with your reply is due to the historic “he was no Angel” excuse. As a way to justify the inexcusable, cold blooded murder.
I disagree. It’s an projection from positions in Project 2025, Trump’s own desire for presidential immunity, the No More Political Prosecutiins Act and his admitted wish to be a dictator (for a day).
I don’t find the two comments aren’t equally valid as critique. Trouble is, the other guy is at least equally subject to the same critique.
Or that there will be a next guy at all. He could cancel the elections. Make himself president for life.
I looked at it and despaired how intertwined Israel is in the global economy. A full boycott will be a real sacrifice. You’d be surprised how wide ranging their influence is.
… And? A lot of socialists are also libertarian in equal measure.
If the Palestinians show anything, no justice, no peace comes to mind. Say Brown does this assuming the fire is still there, people won’t stay silent for long. If a party chooses the path of the authoritarian they need to carry a pretty big stick. And even then, as Israel keeps showing, it doesn’t work.
Then they’ll have a situation no better than Columbia. The deal is we won’t protest if you divest. If either party reneges on that deal we go back to where we were before the deal. That’s the consequence of saying “no”.
I notice you didn’t counter my statement. Just threw a whataboutism in my face.
They mention the afraid Jewish students, but they didn’t cover any Jewish protestors. It makes it seem that you can’t be Jewish and protest against the Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing. And protest for BDS.
I wonder what he had to give up in the plea deal.
