The absolute best way to have enough money without working is stealing it. That's illegal too for some dumb reason.

If you want to know my perspective you can start by throwing me in the box with people like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald
That certainly squares with their more recent work.
Yeah, why would anyone think you're a world government conspiracy nutter right after you post world government conspiracy nuttery?
Naturally you have nothing to say about the "news" organizations that tell their audiences that there was massive election fraud when there wasn't, or that the COVID vaccines are ineffective and dangerous. Your opinion on anything is irrelevant.
It's as if the whole point of building climate-viable infrastructure might not be maximizing profits.
The utter gall!
If you say so. Even though you were the one who mentioned the Russians and the Chinese, not me.
You started by implying Russia or China were responsible for the covid deaths by deliberately spreading misinformation. That is misinformation.
Certainly nothing in the post you replied to implied such a thing.
As for my follow-up claim that China and Russia are amplifying misinformation, there are plenty of articles on the subject that are a lot meatier on facts than most of the speculation in this thread.
No, but they certainly (and demonstrably) help amplify misinformation.
Prove the truth with hard evidence so the misinformation can be exposed and ridiculed and discredited.
What makes you believe that this isn't a significant part of every effort to combat misinformation?
This is whole idea behind freedom of speech.
I'm not terribly concerned with the imaginary constitutional rights of malicious foreign actors.
If governments are allowed to deny freedom of speech, governments will abuse that right 100% of the time - no exceptions.
Again, for all anyone knows here (based on TFA) this has nothing to do with anyone within constitutional jurisdiction. You're just filling in the blanks with absolutist declarative platitudes; not a substitute for facts.
And if a million Americans have to die because half the country believes a global pandemic is the fictional creation of the Illuminati, so be it! Small price to pay for our freedums!
Millions of people in this country are living in an alternative reality thanks to mis/dis-information. It's easy to smugly stand on principle as long as the problem doesn't affect you directly.
This seems like a reasonable accommodation.
But if we don't want the public sector doing this, and we don't want the private sector to do it either, then we simply accept the status quo.
Bad idea IMHO.
I guess it's better to let foreign mis/dis-information continue unabated and unchallenged because of vague, paranoid predictions of impending tyranny.
So because you donâ(TM)t like the proposed solutions (nobody is advocating genocide, by the way) you feel thatâ(TM)s grounds to deny the problem. A real intellectual there.
Mind giving us a hint on what it will take before youâ(TM)re willing to acknowledge there may be a problem?
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
