China just copying and pasting from the US liberal script. I can't believe how shortsighted some people are--to believe you can call for censorship (or "de-platforming or whatever word you choose) in one place and not understand you're just strengthening the case for it somewhere else.

Come on, "uneducated" does not equal "stupid." This poll asked about educational levels, not IQ (or however intelligence/stupidity might be measured). My theory is that the less education you have, the less likely you are to trust anything or anybody. So the less educated don't trust QAnon any more than they trust the government, doctors, churches, or any other institution. "It's all bs."

Rich people and educated people go to church. In fact most church goers in the US today are middle-class by any definition. BTW voting for the Republicans is not "voting against themselves' unless you think that Democrats represent the interests of the "poor uneducated masses." If the masses are poor and uneducated it's at least as much due to the Democrats as the Republicans. The poor uneducated masses obviously understand this better than the (presumably) highly-educated you.

I've seen a lot of lies about Cuba, but this is the first time I've seen them charged with a lack of earthquake safety regulations. Could you give us some examples, including the number of people who have been killed in earthquakes in Cuba? Also, "starving"? Cubans have life expectancies more or less equivalent to "advanced democracies" like the US. And lower infant mortality rates than African Americans. And BTW the fact that the US invaded Cuba and then threatened to blow up the world is not the Cubans' fault.

Really? "Nothing" wrong with this? How about cooperating in a government censorship scheme? That's not wrong? It's probably legal, fine, but that's hardly the most important point here. All kinds of wrong things were legal at some point.

But they could trade stocks. Millions of them. How about this: "I got this app because it was supposed to give me access to a million restaurants. But I can't access Joe's Pizzeria, which is the only one I care about. But it works fine for the other 999,999." Is that a genuine 1-star review? Would you give this app a 1-star rating?

If your concern is that you may not be able at some point to continue to trade in a certain stock, then you should not get involved in that stock. Trading in a stock can be halted for any number of reasons by the markets themselves. Without commenting on what Robinhood did, it's not the first time trading in a particular company was halted. BTW it wasn't only Robinhood that halted trading in Game Stop. And traders are free to use other brokerages (I know, I know, blah blah blah why that's not a good option, but it is an option.) The people who are complaining about Robinhood don't really understand how the market works--there's much more to it than just buying and selling. It's not a crafts fair.

This is nothing but the voice of corporate America looking for yet another way to increase its profits at the expense of working people. Does John Mackey go to a doctor?

If you eat, are you responsible for farm workers being underpaid and exposed to dangerous chemicals? If you wear clothes, are you responsible for conditions of third world garment workers? Just asking, so if the answer is yes, I can stop eating, go around naked, and feel good about myself.

the US weren't doing exactly the same thing. As are Russia and everyone else who can. As a longtime CIA official explained: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/1...

So the rest of us are supposed to take your word for it. Why should I? Who are you? Obviously the political establishment is looking to convince the rest of us that it was the Russians. But they (you) refuse to provide any evidence. So, thanks, but I'll just hold my opinion until I see something that convinces me beyond "I'm an expert and I say so so you should believe me."

You left out the irony tag from your post

I don't think the parallel with wearing clothes outside is valid, since there's no risk to you or others involved. I think a better analogy is seat belts on airplanes. No one complains that their "constitutional rights" are being violated by mandatory use of seat belts.

Reminds me of the story of the kid who asked the judge for leniency in sentencing him for murdering his parents because he was an orphan.

Research shows that the individualist, me-first, dog-eat-dog ideology of capitalism is against human nature. Not what we were taught in school, is it.
