So, someone at the Department of Energy that was hired in 2012, under Obama, made a ruling, and that's translated by the NYTimes as the "Trump Administration" doing it, which then gets referenced as "Trump blocked it…
This is reality-shaping in action. Every manufacturer has crashes, failures, problems. They always have, and always will. Yet all of the sudden a certain portion of society has decided to weaponize the internet / mass…
Seriously? It's monopoly over the ideas and culture of our society. It's monopoly over the speech that the citizens consume. The culture and ideas that people consume on daily basis obviously affect their actions and…
The main issue with relying on education, teaching fact finding, the scientific method, etc., is that the average person is honestly just not very intelligent or capable of the level of thought that we'd be asking from…
Only one party has near complete control over mass media, social media, and big tech. If you want to get a first approximation of who's driving the "scandal", you should pretty obviously look at the ones who control…
This is the rational approach to take. At the beginning it was an unknown, and I was more cautious than anyone I knew. I was gathering supplies and locking down in January. There were videos of people in China having…
It's so interesting that in your mind that you'll draw a connection between attacking the police and the US Capitol "insurrection" (which is complete propaganda spin by the way), while ignoring the political dissidents…
Wait, so now private entities censoring/deplatforming/shutting down anyone they want for any reason they want is a bad thing? Just pretend they were all evil Trump voters that got what they deserved.
Some really interesting perspectives from that half of the political sphere lately: "Yes, it's rewriting history, but it's for a good reason!" "Yes, it's censorship, but it's for a good reason!" "Yes, it's deplatforming…
An engineer that's being logical and thinking from first principles should come to the same solution, but the vast majority of the population base their viewpoints on what's "true" based on what the internet / mass…
Interestingly, comments like the one you're replying to are the reason why I'm ignoring Rust. It's reached critical mass, meme status, where people will come in and shill for Rust or shill for how bad C++ is, not for…
It's such a disgusting state of affairs that people have been brainwashed into openly mocking Americans concerned with their freedom. We went from the land of the free, home of the brave, to this. Trump was the last…
Man this post is so gross and I think a good encapsulation of everything going wrong with social/mass media. Hyper partisan, hyper biased, contains no facts, flippantly suggests mass censorship of opposing viewpoints,…
It's so interesting when people cheer on censorship because, don't worry, they've been convinced that it's good censorship. Still doesn't change what it is though. I'm sure anybody that's been censored, dehumanized, and…
These companies have near monopoly control on the flow of information. Like it or not, they are the new public square. Just telling someone that's banned from Twitter, Facebook, etc., "but oh don't worry, you're still…
All I want to contribute to this is that if you think CNN is any different/better than Fox News you're part of the problem. They're both insanely biased echo chambers. It's so blatantly obvious too. After finding some…
How many children wind up in the hospital from the flu, pneumonia, and so on every year? Those are more deadly to children than covid is. Why are you being made to freak out about this yet you likely have gone your…
Ironically, the notion that the President called the virus a hoax is itself the hoax. He never said that, and you can't quote him saying that. He did call the media's reaction to the virus a hoax, which the media of…
My response to anybody that downvotes and disagrees with the parent comment is to just wait and see for yourself how long it'll take for the NYT or your news source of choice to ever report a negative story about Biden.…
