i don't know what you're talking about OP. i love it here. we need a place where radical liberals can call for change by whatever means necessary without getting modded by lame centrists.
until you feel like they are trying to lead you into giving them reasonable suspicion, at which point you begin the "am i free to go?" routine.
you know, i tend to blame this kind of shit on capitalism, thinking that the drive for profit creates an imperative to deliver published papers, and then i see that china is doing this shit and i just can't help but to think there is no economic model that produces good results and that the entire idea of an 'economic model' is flawed.
please let AI run this shit. humans are just going to endlessly make the same mistakes over and over.
the same AI that could be used to run the coffee shop efficiently and distribute resources along with our UBI.
but we somehow let a select group of sociopathic humans run the world instead. oh well. we kinda have ourselves to blame. we outnumber the sociopaths, afterall.
consequences for shitty behavior is always the correct answer.
have children forgotten that we had a flower power/summer of love/ hippie generation and the impacts of that are still being felt today? jim henson, mister rogers, public broadcasting... all that stuff was a ripple effect from a generation of people who were fed up with protestant america's quiet stoicism.
never forget that shit. those people changed western culture for the better. pick up the torch.
maybe we should change our strategy not getting killed.
it's not me. they're just weak.
i certainly think that is one of many effective tools that should be in our progressive toolbox.
now you're catching on
right? are we living in that morally ambiguous of a society that people don't understand basic tenets of decency?
