  • I mean… it’s hard to interpret “the problem is her messaging is she didnt come across as a white man with grievances…” as anything but claiming sexism and racism. There’s hyperbole there, but blaming the loss on those factors assumes that people couldn’t have possibly abstained from voting, or voted against her without those factors. I don’t believe that’s the case.

    Too frequently we call people these things and basically lock them out of discussion. For example, if you called me a racist, I’d no longer trust anything else you said to me because I know myself and clearly you like telling people things you know nothing about. I think that exchange happened with a bunch of people, which is why there were so many people who just assumed many of the things said about Trump were just political lies made to discredit him. After they experienced the same hyperbole themselves.

    That said… theres alot of bigots out there too.





  • I dunno, I voted for it, but California has HUGE conservative areas and the notion of working off your sentence isn’t exactly new or seen as particularly cruel by most. Also the comparisons to slavery will fall on deaf ears because it’s as much slavery as imprisoning people is kidnapping.

    If you are OK with prisons, forced labor within them isn’t going to seem significantly harsher.





  • We do and we dont. Almost 350 million people have differences of opinion quite frequently. Thankfully most of the world thinks our positives outweighs our negatives.

    Either that or they are too weak to stop us in any meaningful way. We’ve seen how many genocides over the past few years from superpowers and no one does anything? Only way you’ll see a real check on America or China’s power is through a world War which everyone rightfully wants to avoid.







  • I couldn’t figure it out from the bit of the article i could see before the pay wall, but is it stated who they license the content from?

    Many times these things are licensed in bundles (especially likely if they all showed up on the service at the same time) and they may not have been able to repurchase the license. It wouldn’t surprise me if alot of that content is in flux with all the creators/businesses being killed/destroyed.

    Is it possible they just decided to nix all that content during the moment in history it’s most likely to be viewed outside of its previously very small audience? Sure. It just feels like there’s probably something else going on here.

    There are lots of articles where I go “I don’t give a shit.” And I keep it to myself and scroll on. This one makes me actually ask “Who gives a shit?” In a legitimately curious capacity.

    Like of all the low stakes, nothing burger, things to ban or get concerned about being banned. It’s just too weird for my comprehension.
