  • To be fair, it’s a flawed argument.

    You can be against Google and Apple and still use a smartphone.

    You can be against a genocide being sponsored with your tax dollars and still work and pay tax.

    And yes, you can use the healthcare system that exists today and still want a different one tomorrow.

    Or do you think that advocates of universal healthcare are also hypocrites for using Obamacare?






  • The humiliation of losing to a black woman.

    The past months the mood in America has been: not these two old geezers again.

    I am honestly optimistic that it’s going to be a landslide for the Democrats without Biden. Americans are just sick of Trump and they didn’t want Biden to run again.

    So the Democrats are giving the people what they want, while the Republicans are trying to force feed them something they don’t want.

    Let’s see how this plays out.


  • While I do agree with you, I also see twitch, TikTok and Patreon presenting models that are quite competitive with YouTube.

    From a privacy perspective, free junk content like TikTok, YouTube and twitch will always be hard coupled with targeted advertising.

    But Patreon (and onlyfans for that matter) do offer a model that can work without ads.

    In fact, if Patreon also introduced an ad-supported tier and allowed you to more broadly see other content aside from the direct person you sponsor, it could probably grow quite a lot.

    Exactly.

    If the USA tried to again be a White/European ethnostate and allow anyone with Caucasian heritage to immigrate and barred everyone else from immigrating, then no one today would accept that.

    And if they went full on apartheid and started putting natives and minorities in locked down ever-shrinking reservations, people would really lose their shit.

    When white nationalists try to advocate for such policies, they are rightfully criticized for being racist.

    I can never understand why Israel gets special treatment in that regard.
