their culture is as culpable/condemnable as any other might be, that is to say, if you don't want to condemn any cultures at all ever then sure, it's all individuals behaving badly

but if for example it's ok to talk about how americans make loudmouth pushy annoying visitors, there's an argument to be made that they often give americans a run for their money

Do that. But for books. Spoil yourself. You need the retail therapy anyway.

Buy the books on the freedom fighters and the activists and the revolutionaries.

She probably wants to a January 6th at the best or an October 7th at the worst knowing how insane communists and leftists are online today. A lot of them are calling for violence and other stupid shit on that forum and nothing is being done by mods.

As with all the other calls for revolution on there, it's always "won't someone else start protesting or rioting to get me the thing I want??"

As misguided as he is, at least Noodlesoup fucking did something about it. Shame that these keyboard warriors goaded him into potentially ruining his life with their limp slacktivism.

If anyone from HamasEra wants to impress me, do something less severe than what the dude who self immolated earlier this year. I don't even remember the guys name just that he died for no fucking reason and like a few people self immolated over the course of the year.

Put your money where your mouth is and do something instead of SAYING you will do something. Like moving to another country, do it. Nothing stopping you.

I have to wonder in the long run how any of these Twitter-like sites / apps will do. Even as dogshit as Twitter is now compared to a few years ago, the functionality and features seem a lot better than Blue Sky and Threads.

The genocide begins, emboldened by Donald Trump's fascist seizure of power, Aussieland's far-right government announces camps for LGBT+ children:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzd62g1r3o wrote:Australia's government says it will introduce "world-leading" legislation to ban children under 16 from social media.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the proposed laws, to be tabled in parliament next week, were aimed at mitigating the "harm" social media was inflicting on Australian children.

"This one is for the mums and dads... They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our kids online. I want Australian families to know that the government has your back," he said.

While many of the details are yet to be debated, the government said the ban will not apply to young people already on social media.

There will be no exemptions on the age limit for children who have consent from their parents. The government says that the onus will be on social media platforms to show they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access.
Quote:When asked whether there should be broader efforts to educate children about how to navigate the benefits and risks of being online, Albanese said that such an approach would be insufficient because it "assumes an equal power relationship".

"I don't know about you, but I get things popping up on my system that I don't want to see. Let alone a vulnerable 14-year-old," he told reporters on Thursday.

"These tech companies are incredibly powerful. These apps have algorithms that drive people towards certain behaviour."

Hesright

I support blocking people from who aren't adults from using social media. I think Australia or New Zealand has a thing where if you were born after a certain year, you cannot buy cigarettes as well which is good. Not sure if it'll deter people from smoking but it's a good system in place (smoking cigarettes grosses me out).

A dying one-term government in it's last death throes trying to look like it's doing something after all of its other policies have failed. 

However, this policy has bipartisan support generally because the opposition is significantly influenced by the Murdoch press which wants to kill social media as much as it can. This is also not opposed by the left leaning press because it too is being squeezed by social media and would like to see it die. 

This has been a result of Facebook ceasing to pay the media for its content meaning a $70 million hole in their revenue and Google also looking to reduce its payments to various Australian media which would leave an even bigger hole.

Fuck the social media companies. They're cancer anyway.
