There is absolutely no justification, including any part of this. You can apply this argument to unregulated breathing.

The only reason people don't know what to do with any potentially dangerous thing is when they are artificially prevented from exposure and learning the appropriate common sense the same way they have to for everything else in the world like nail clippers. You don't eat them and you don't cut your actual finger off, because somewhere along the way you played with one or if you are particularly dimwitted, someone showed you and you memorized a rule. The danger of a phone is no differrent than the danger of any other computer, or a toaster oven, or fucking breathing outside of a padded cell.

This line of argument is exceedingly offensive and should be ridiculed without a hint of mercy or acknowledgement.

There is no justification to validate that a client is in a secure unmodified state? Just to be clear you have to be dimwitted to think the danger of your computer being compromised is anywhere near that of your phone. Its a data gold mine.

The current conflict has been going on for about 75 years. To ignore that and just focus on what happened last month is disingenuous at best.

Where did you get the idea that I want to give land to Turkey?

viro · 2 years ago
the Ottoman empire is also known as the Turkish empire. it was Turkeys land that was "stolen". Partitioning post empires can get messy.

I'm not saying it is or isn't genocide, but if Hamas attacked Israel first then you're ignoring something like 75 years of the conflict.

Are we going to go all the way back to the partition of the Ottoman Empire? I think i might agree with you we should give all the land back to Turkey aka NATO.

Agree, it is crazy how Americans are falling for Israeli propaganda. I dont even mean evangelical crazies but also normal human beings who I talked to seem to still view Israel as a democratic state that has right to commit genocide. In Europe it is way less common to support Israeli crimes now, even my baby boomer colleagues are more pro Palestine than before.

Attacking a nation state that attacked you first isn't committing genocide. Its also funny that you think the EU(the world champs at enslaving and colonizing the world) has some how evolved past the same shit they literally did in the 90's.

> Fact-checking will struggle to counter propaganda, then, because it will either focus on the wrong thing (facts instead of the bigger picture), or it will focus on the right thing and risk becoming propaganda itself.

In my opinion, this entire essay is the author struggling with their own cognitive dissonance that fact checking as it plays out in American media smells a lot like propaganda, but it surely can't be propaganda, because it's done by the good guys and for good intentions. But the American propaganda arm is very old and well established.

There is no informational authority and there never was or can be.

its important to remember propaganda doesn't mean false. Aslong as its trying to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda its propaganda.

Should you be able to freely buy things and sell things you own? Yes, you should and this is not an aspect of capitalism. Why would that not exist in a socialist or other economic system?
viro · 2 years ago
Not you shouldn't be able hoard the supply of a thing and double its price. Don't play stupid like the intent of the purchase doesn't have consequences on your rights to sell an asset.
