This is NOT how regulations are supposed to work. Lawsuits are supposed to be the last resort, and the usually come from a government agency which is too overburdened to create lawsuits on a whim.

Well, well. Regulations and rules being used in ways they weren't intended to be used. You might be onto a systemic problem there...

Psychological Egoism + Game Theory = ?

Could it be... the root of many evils?

But clearly not an issue when we have loosely-defined ideas like "race", "gender-expression", "hate speech", "safe zones", etc. I mean really, what could go wrong? Could an entire generation of lawyers go around looking for things to become offended by? No way! That's crazy talk!

Seriously this article makes it sound like life just after a devastating conflict is better than economic prosperity because most people are equally poor.

I imagine you might think that if you didn't read the article.

You could also read it as, "Why bother? The rich will protect their position and only Armageddon will flatten things out." Still the conclusion is the same, BS. The real question is, "Why is our society moving wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer? And "What can we do to make it more equitable?". Jaron Lanier covers this well in "Who Owns the Future?"

Ever noticed how there has to be a new term for new enemy? Milo (supposedly alt-right) is gay Jew that fawns over black men. Soooo, not too neo-nazi to my ears. At what point do you simply hold a different point of view to the established norms? The traditional media got caught flat footed in the election and so it MUST be some nefarious group. How about people just aren't b
uying the bullshit anymore?
