No. People don’t even recognize what’s happening, let alone how to respond.
Sapient liberation now.

In the US, at least, people have been trained to see democracy and capitalism as inseparable. People see the system failing because of corruption and greed, and blame democracy instead of capitalism. It’s a great system for capitalists. Everyone else, not so much.
The Senate not being population-based is part of the problem too. As are gerrymandering and not having universal adult suffrage or federal holidays for voting days. But a Constitutional Convention would be state-based, too, so we’d end up with something even worse than we have now.
Yes, but none of that applies to a South African born in South Africa to South African parents.
As someone who has extensive personal experience with severe mental illness, I appreciate very much your desire to defend us (your instinct would usually be right), but psychopathy is a weird one. If the previous commenter had said “mental illness” instead of psychopathy specifically, I’d be pissed. But there is evidence that psychopaths advance in business management. I realize it’s not exactly JAMA, but here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephaniesarkis/2019/10/27/senior-executives-are-more-likely-to-be-psychopaths/?sh=24aa505d47c4
Modern US conservative policy isn’t a complex question. The answer is always money or sadism.
I don’t want to do-over the Civil War.
Both 9/11s were pretty freaking real, but you’re right on the US orchestrating the 1973 one.
Might have something to do with the slavery, imperialism, and genocide. Or the fact that French Canadians are primarily of French descent. It’s simply not comparable. Also, while people say French Canadian to describe an ethnicity and culture (again, one primarily made up of French immigrants), I’ve never heard someone call Quebec French Canada in seriousness.
That’s valid.
It may be Francophone, but it’s as fucked up to call this “French Africa” as it would be to call India/Pakistan/Bangladesh “British India.”
If they really want less of a rush to NATO, maybe they should stop invading their neighbors?
If you hear of a reasonable source with actual info on North Korean news, leave a link here. Otherwise, your concern is noted. Believe me, in the face of radio silence, most people are imagining much worse things of the regime than a shorts ban.
Auth-left calls it decadence, auth-right calls it degeneracy. Authoritarians hate any deviance from their norms.
Some search engines and social media platforms make at least half-assed efforts to prevent or add warnings to this stuff, because anorexia in particular has a very high mortality rate, and age of onset tends to be young. The people advocating AI models be altered to prevent this say the same about other tech. It’s not techphobia to want to try to reduce the chances of teenagers developing what is often a terminal illness, and AI programmers have the same responsibility on that as everyone else,
Kind of pathetic that it’s the first big one, given our economic structure and the fact that we’re nearly a quarter into the century.
The left doesn’t have the money to prop up a decent counterpropaganda apparatus.
