cables can be cut, power can be switched off, frequencies can be jammed

the health of the internet is merely a reflection of the health of society. so focus your efforts on the keeping society's attitude healthy. that's your best, and only defense, to keeping the internet truly free

there is no such thing as a technical fix to a sociological problem

yes, it's like arguing crime with gun control haters, they always have amazing statistics to pull out of their arse, that are either outright lies, mistakes, bad studies or extremely misleading ways of looking at the data (purposely designed by think tanks for you to cite your mythology)

or, you could just look at the damn ice:

How do you defeat oil indistry propaganda that climate change isn't real for the faux news set?

Appeal to their nationalism and xenophobia:" China is forcing climate change on you and your beautiful country"

Now there is no question climate change is real: it's a dastardly Chinese Communist plot to destroy Amurrica!

The power of low IQ tribal paranoia.

if i get the sense i'm talking to someone who is driving, i will say "are you driving? i'll get off the phone"

it's not about being a hyperactive boy scout, it's not about the law, it's about living with myself. because if i am on the phone with someone while they are driving and i am AWARE of it, then i am responsible for continuing the conversation, and helping to keep the driver distracted

i have to live with myself. and i have to respect myself

Brain off-line, please wait.
