Key part of demoralization of a nation is making people ashamed of it.
Damn, they listened to him during Obama's tenure?
He really is the Immortal Emperor in your minds.
No protections? If a company kills people generally those running it are legally protected. If a company goes bankrupt the owners once again are protected from debtors going after their personal savings earned while running that company into the ground. If a company commits fraud once again you can sue the company but not those running it. This isn't about bailouts. It's not even really about economics. It's about corporatism. No corporation should have more legal power than any citizen. Corporations also don't go to a version of jail, think about that. Instead of labeling those you don't agree with, use that time to think about what you read.
LOL, you really have no clue, do you? Go ahead, try killing someone and then claim immunity because you did this while on the clock. Same for bankruptcy - if it was abolished all you'd have to do is just set limits of liability and write down seizable assets in every contract, but there's nothing the state provides that can't be reimplemented.
Fact check actually said "it was a crocodile enclosure". It was so stupid, it short circuited my brain when typing it out.
Also headlines are epic, going along the lines of "child ended up in the croc cage". How? No one knows, but they arrested "a man". What kind of man? No one knows, but he's not a straight white one, because that would've been all over the news.
Best part is that now there's reporting that this mystery man was so mentally retarded, they couldn't interview him. So they released him on bail until september. Guess there's more kid chucking coming up.
Just kidding. This nonsense made it to X, so they're probably going to have to arrest the poor bastard before he gets to try to see if he can chuck the next one into a lion enclosure, and then get fact checked that it's actually a tiger enclosure.
Ah yes, my favorite kind of a fact check Reminds me of the current story about immigrant who chucked a random 3 year old kid into the alligator cage with obvious consequences.
Then we get Fact check false. It was actually an alligator cage.
Same energy as this "debunk".
Ask your favorite LLM for a list of ROK tech that was cloned by PRC manufacturers as a result of industrial espionage.
I vaguely remember hearing of something like that at the time...so I guess the report is accurate.
Either that or it's a persistent urban legend.
Bigger problem here is safetyism combined with Haidt's crusade against social media. He was told early on that his work would be repurposed by "save the children from Satan/faggots/fascists/pedos" for something he specifically stated wasn't his goal. He went through with it anyway.
The entire point of Section 230 is that they don't act as publishers, but as mere platforms, which enables social media to exist at all.
"We" meaning pearl clutchers of all persuasions could always just sue the person who actually publishes speech they don't agree with. Which they often did. It just meant that you could not hope to blackmail corporations into banning speech "we" didn't like.
Yes, I'm sure companies that banned Trump while he was a sitting president from all social media all at once could just "bribe" Trump.
There's totally no bad blood there that would get in the way, even if Trump was as for sale as his opponents hallucinate him to be.
What is the number of lawsuits won by non-transgender children who have been convinced by members of multiple respectable organizations to transition?
Last I checked, it was quite a few. It's so popular now that there are projects popping up to help connect such people with attorneys, as medical malpractice attorneys didn't yet have the time to specialize in this specific line of lawsuits.
As lawyer specialization occurs, you can expect the numbers to go up massively, as significant portion of "transitioning" was grooming of autistic and homosexual children.
At this point, it seems that they don't even bother. Prosecutor responsible for releasing thousands of the pakistani child rapists with nothing but warning letters (I'm not even joking, this actually happened) is currently the Prime Minister of UK. Literally the highest political post in the land.
There's no need to hide complicity. It's a badge of honor at this point. It shows that you're in the club.
