Sure, agreed! But it's not like the two parties are all that different in that they both act on the interests of wealthy elites.

They're also called the Republicans.

Nah, it does preclude that possibility, because some of the suffering of those individual humans is entirely unnecessary.

Anecdotal and unrelated.

Yeah the whole "globalist" thing is stupid to me. There are better ways to articulate the position that don't originate from conspiracy theorists.

Yeah, I'm interested in the original user's self-identification as someone who mistrusts globalists. Thank you for the summary!

Yes, exactly! None of these things are mutually exclusive. Decrying liberal/conservative media bias while being stuck within that same spectrum is an entirely impotent critique to …

Sure, we're agreeing. I just take issue with the idea that it is possible to do an injustice against the dead over word choice. I probably jumped too quick, though, and maybe shoul…

I basically do not take issue with your dissection of terms here. However I have seen another bit of your logic elsewhere and strongly disagree with it: the idea that mislabelling …

And there's also the possibility that the NYT et al have 1) done bad things in the past but 2) have also done good things For example, Noam Chomsky rightfully called the NYT "a bad…

Your comment has me fondly remembering a backpacking trip in Wyoming. We'd go to sleep around 8 or 9 since it would get dark before then and wake up at about 7, and the sleep was i…

I do not disagree!

Didn't know about this, thanks for the info!

As far as I can tell, there's no new "technology" in whatever product Palantir offers (I have briefly used it before?). It seems to me that it's just a program for data visualizati…

This position though is pretty much contingent on nearly every person making nearly every environmentally-friendly decision then, no?

>I haven't significantly changed my behavior and consumption patterns You shouldn't be ashamed about this per se, because the type of action that will combat climate change is acti…

Check out r/bodyweightfitness, I'm sure they have a bunch of good tutorials.

The rise in popularity of "functional fitness" and its accompanying ideas about mobility and flexibility have made it seem like everyone should be a contortionist, but if you're on…

Or more recently Mark Fisher, who at least in one essay (to be honest, I've only read this so far but just bought another book; I'm much more familiar with DFW and agree with your …

Thank you for fighting the good fight in explaining this concept.
