That's not the point.

The point is: do you want to live in a world where a handful of authoritarian corporations decide, what you can publicly say and what not?

Of course you have. These guys come to mind articlesofunity.org for example.

Those protests in the US have nothing to do with justice. They are about power.

Would be interesting to hear some new findings on the 2004 video from the US Navy.

The pilot was recently on the Joe Rogan podcast and talked about it.

I don't believe in anything "aliens", but I'm not really sure what to make of that story.

How was that a hypothesis? It was merely a thought experiment.

I will never understand how people in the US are okay with this. Don't people care about justice at all over there?

Haha, oh the Wumaodangs...

So in your world, murder is okay because 150 years ago, someone committed murder? What a weird argument.

The "western people" of today have learned and developed. As have most Chinese people. But the CCP has not.

Culture in free countries improves over time. Culture in tyrannies stagnates.

Which country with relations to Taiwan has stood up against the CCP?

Sorry, but all the micro countries that recognize Taiwan do so for the money they get from Taiwan in exchange.

Please read at least one book on international diplomacy, then come back.

If you favor war over dialog, then your opinion would be understandable.

Thankfully, most people don't. So it's a good thing the UN exists.

It's a forum of dialog, not a parliament to make laws.

Why not move to another team for a while to learn what and how they are doing?

Maybe not enjoy, but there are certainly people who are much less affected, or not affected at all, by it.

These media stories always focus on those who picked the wrong job for their caracter, and then make a big drama of it.

I mean, there are people cutting open other humans daily. We call them surgeons. I would puke right there and could never do that. Different people have different abilities. Simple.

Sunlight is reflected from earth too.

Alpha Centauri has a binary system with another third sun orbiting the other two at half a light-year or so. Not very "sun-like".

Great. And now let's build a telescope on the dark side of the moon!

Step 1: define "life"

It will mostly block a lot of the neo-left, people who are "identity" focused and as racist as people on the far right. I don't want to have anything to do with them. I don't give a f about identity, I care about merit.

No, I've created an "echo chamber" where I only allow opinions based on reason and logic.

You seem to prefer personal attacks and ideology, so yes, I'd block you for sure.

Ah, the good old "it's not my opinion, therefore it's Nazi"-argument.

Well, if that's all you can do, thanks for the effort.

Please don't use lies and fud in your political discussions. That's dishonest. Thanks.

That is the definition of government, a power monopoly, to avoid chaos. To obtain legitimacy to exercise that monopoly, we vote every couple of years. To avoid abuse, we split the power in three independent parts: legislative, executive, and judicial.

Not sure what you would prefer?

I listen to a Sci-fi/futurism Podcast. Dude has a very calm voice, content is interesting, but not too complicated to keep you awake. Works great.

It can be sane. Just be very selective who you allow. I maybe follow a hundred people or so, but my block list is probably ten times as long. Even blocking anybody with "pronouns" in their Bio already helps a lot.

Or even worse, von der Leyen got promoted to be head of the EU. I mean, wtf!

At the past 38C3 congress there was also an interesting talk about how the main political parties influence the German public broadcasters.

No surprise there is so little critical reporting, despite the 9 billion euros yearly budget.

What could be dangerous about it is that CNNFOX et al would copy-paste the story without fact checking, inflate it, and make as much money from it as they can.
