    This is reality-shaping in action. Every manufacturer has crashes, failures, problems. They always have, and always will. Yet all of the sudden a certain portion of society has dec…

    Seriously? It's monopoly over the ideas and culture of our society. It's monopoly over the speech that the citizens consume. The culture and ideas that people consume on daily basi…

    The main issue with relying on education, teaching fact finding, the scientific method, etc., is that the average person is honestly just not very intelligent or capable of the lev…

    Only one party has near complete control over mass media, social media, and big tech. If you want to get a first approximation of who's driving the "scandal", you should pretty obv…

    This is the rational approach to take. At the beginning it was an unknown, and I was more cautious than anyone I knew. I was gathering supplies and locking down in January. There w…

    It's so interesting that in your mind that you'll draw a connection between attacking the police and the US Capitol "insurrection" (which is complete propaganda spin by the way), w…

    Wait, so now private entities censoring/deplatforming/shutting down anyone they want for any reason they want is a bad thing? Just pretend they were all evil Trump voters that got …

    Some really interesting perspectives from that half of the political sphere lately: "Yes, it's rewriting history, but it's for a good reason!" "Yes, it's censorship, but it's for a…

    An engineer that's being logical and thinking from first principles should come to the same solution, but the vast majority of the population base their viewpoints on what's "true"…

    Interestingly, comments like the one you're replying to are the reason why I'm ignoring Rust. It's reached critical mass, meme status, where people will come in and shill for Rust …

    It's such a disgusting state of affairs that people have been brainwashed into openly mocking Americans concerned with their freedom. We went from the land of the free, home of the…

    Man this post is so gross and I think a good encapsulation of everything going wrong with social/mass media. Hyper partisan, hyper biased, contains no facts, flippantly suggests ma…

    It's so interesting when people cheer on censorship because, don't worry, they've been convinced that it's good censorship. Still doesn't change what it is though. I'm sure anybody…

    How many children wind up in the hospital from the flu, pneumonia, and so on every year? Those are more deadly to children than covid is. Why are you being made to freak out about …

    Ironically, the notion that the President called the virus a hoax is itself the hoax. He never said that, and you can't quote him saying that. He did call the media's reaction to t…

    My response to anybody that downvotes and disagrees with the parent comment is to just wait and see for yourself how long it'll take for the NYT or your news source of choice to ev…
