I'm not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life, so just go with what you're feeling. You don't need to rationalize it for it to be valid.

Zuck is fine with anticompetitive actions, he just thinks you need to InOvAtE to earn the right.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

People like Luigi remind me of "The Children of Kali" from the book "The Ministry for the future". The Children of Kali targeted the owners of these multinational death machines but would not accept any collateral damage. Instead they were patient. The abusers got so scared they would never leave their house, but even that would not save them. Point is, these people follow a set of laws different from the ones that dominate society. They conducted themselves according to that law and that guided their assassinations. Something to think about as our own laws become lawless.

Then call it something else, conservatives love doing that. We're not forgiving, we're just unconditionally discharging the loans.

Most people don't watch politics, and people that do overwhelming voted Democrat in the last election. Mayor Pete or whoever isn't going to convince my dad that Fox news was lying to him the whole time. We really need a new media strategy that cuts the corporate network middleman out.

The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain

This so much. The "voters are too stupid" narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don't inform) voters.

Are there no trans billionaires to object to being erased?

He was on the lighter side, from mainland China.

I get the impression billionaires are a big reason we aren't addressing climate change. Sad that the Children of Kali are our best hope.
