This is a silly comparison. Social media doesn't instantly kill your children, and we've known it's bad for them for ages now so parents have had time to adjust. Give kids devices,…

The platform isn't actively harming. It's actively driving them to content they engage with. What they're choosing to engage with is harmful. The fact their parents let them on the…

That's because you've had years of consuming media that blames everything on billionaires.

I still don't see racism there. I agree people, foreign or domestic, shouldn't be camping in public spaces. If the law is only enforced against domestic transgressors (or they are …

They also have a pretty organised society and a strong focus on education, so given money they will run with it a long way.

I made it about halfway through that article before giving up. It's all opining on "racists" without highlighting what the actual things were that were said.

How are we defining the best roofers?

> you have to remember, 70 million people voted for the current US regime and many of them billionaires. Many of the 70 million Republican voters were billionaires? What are you ta…

The ideology is militant Islam. Which has been for 1300 years or so. Not all of Islam, particularly as it rules places it doesn't need to be so militant (although it can turn to so…

I agree that these concepts seem a little vague and hand-wavy, but this is a) no substitute and b) far vaguer and unsubstantiated.

No, it's from the cost of living being so high that people are delaying having kids.

If I were on the hook for €600k and only had an apartment I'd be pretty jealous of my time too.

Neither of your examples were for the last 1300 years, so all your paragraphs are irrelevant.

Sorry, I've no idea what either of those sentences are doing.

Pro business is pro consumer.

I didn't say "within the last 1300 years".

Solar gets lots of subsidies in the UK. Homeowners who installed it 10 years ago get a ridiculous payment for generating excess, even if the grid doesn't use it.

I don't know. Can you not make jokes about the chancellor in Germany?

Jokes about Trump are rife in America, as are leader jokes in many Western countries. These are the last places you will need to worry about that.

I don't think it's everyone's job to do that, though. If an ideology is innately, for the last 1300 years, expansive, by military might or by population demographic change, you can…

Which one is that?

It's easy to tell. Just look up how much profit is being made.

But if the cause is "death to the West" or "from the river to the sea" or "India should not be secular" then it's a bit of a problem. How do you fight the cause?

No, I don't think so. There's a set of people who consume media that deliberately and consistently conflates "immigrant" and "illegal immigrant", and they just can't disambiguate w…
