Minors are going to access the internet no matter what you do, it’s on them an their underdeveloped brains on whether or not they can handle it.

If their parents don’t care enough, then let them be raised here, amongst the stable minds that think anything to the left of burning kids alive for warmth is tankieism (.world) or anything to the right of luxury gay space communism is fascism (all the sane instances).

That humans are human?

Yeah, I’m willing to draw the line in the sand there. Equality in the face of nobility (i.e. class vs race based discrimination) is more fair and equal than the view espoused by our founding fathers. But all caste systems have always been bad. Universally. And no matter the culture or time period with this idea, you’ll find a loud minority or a large majority of people that disagree with the caste system in place.

Because that’s how they work, a minority can only benefit, and are the only ones that need it to work, so the less stratified they are the more people are against it but are rendered powerless by the system in place.

Every human that didn’t believe in equality, and by that I just mean that all humans are human, is a bad person.

For fucks sake orangutans got their name because we as a species treated them as human at one point. If we can do that to a fucking monkey there’s no epiphany needed to do it to actual humans.

In the US, at least, nearly all corporations digitized around the late nineties while buying into personality test nonsense.

At this time the screening was more simple than it was today, keyword searches and yes/no personality decisions that eliminated over 90% of applicants.

Now with LLMs they can eliminate nearly all applicants, giving them more legal justification to request visas or outsource.

My dude I’m dual citizen Chinese and us, stealing from the rich and building the fundamentals of society equally is kinda my jam, even if someone did fuck up and make me a us citizen by default.

The American working class, despite making far more than their peers in the global South, are usually more poor than their peers in the global South. Home ownership is a myth and favelas are banned here; you’ll not only never retire but even if you manage to get to retirement age all your money is going to go to medical care. You might have a car but you need it to live since there’s more distance between your house and the only grocery store than there is between most villages in poor countries. Hell all the wealth the US stole still has more people living near open sewage lines than any country in South America. Shit even the cops are more corrupt than those in the south but you can’t even bribe them since they’re paid so much by the rich to protect their property.

The American poor are happy to give up the wealth their country stole, because they never saw any of it.

That line only works when most of the global north aren’t more poor than those in the south.

Most people in the western world do want to remove the stolen wealth and return it, since they’ve never seen it either.

In short, they’re trying to make much more money to pay the executives’ 7 figure salaries, and are giving up browser privacy to do so.

Okay. There were staunch abolitionists across the US and especially in the UK. Many of whom were operating on the basis of equality, i.e. not the American belief that black people are a subspecies that were sent from heaven to serve whites, like all the leaders of the US though before the 1900s.

So by your own method, Washington was a disgusting human being, one would argue a demon.

That would require democrats to have fundamentally different goals than Republicans.

Masochists should never follow that rule. I think that’s enough of a story.

That’s great and all, but your criticism needs to be redirected at yourself. Gay people aren’t gods. Neither are Jews. Neither are disabled people.

They are not ubermensch to which we should sacrifice our children to unwillingly.

They are not special. No one is.

If your cause is great you’ll have no problem finding volunteers for your war. If not the cause wasn’t that great. You don’t get to tell others how they should die or what they should fight for. The right of life and death over themselves is the only true right that humans have, and violating that right is the most evil thing; whether it is murder, genocide, or conscription ending in either.

Nazis are awful, they deserve to die. I’ll probably die fighting them based on my class and characteristics. But forcing someone in front of their bullets for my life would make me as evil as they are.

No, I value freedom over something as stupid as a country. If the country is worth defending, people will volunteer.

Kidnapping them and sending them to their death is pure evil regardless of the reason. There is no justification. If your country does that, it deserves and needs to be wiped off the face of the planet.

It’s not naive to value human life over a nation.

Ripping apart a baby to bring the rain is a bad thing regardless of whether or not it rains. Kidnapping kids under threat of decades of torture and telling them to kill or be killed is bad regardless of whether or not it stops the Nazis.

Forced conscription is a crime on the level of genocide, because often that’s what results.

And they were still bad for doing that.

Anything that can be seen as anti Ukraine is going to generate a lot of down votes in liberal/right wing instances.

Including very real ethical questions that just use Ukraine as an example.

Sensors on a main road and well set timers after a few months of data can do wonders and be extremely low cost, but it requires some upfront spending and enough public will to put up with bad traffic until everything is tuned.

China has more public transit of every type than the rest of the world combined at this point, and most of their cities are quite pedestrian centric.

Cars are a luxury outside the rural areas, and they’re a problem, but this is unrelated to that.
