Why do we keep paying people like this to enshittify everything?

Because if you refuse to destroy yourself, your family, and the rest of the world, they’ll import 3rd worlders who will do it because they’re being threatened.

It’s quite something how they’re trying to force the Internet to work as an artificial version of things we already have, instead of using it for the unique purposes which it can actually fulfill.

Slavery is a bigger problem today than it has ever been before.

Literally the first novel ever written “Sinuhe” speaks of a very similar crisis in ancient Egypt.

Western society is based largely upon a romantic partnership between a man and a woman. Because this partnership contributes to a very stable social system, it has endured and proliferated. Now that it has been abandoned by western society, everything is collapsing.

Lawfare

These days I just assume it’s a bot if they’re exceptionally obtuse.

Sorry dude, I’m not jumping through hoops to explain basic information to dishonest posters no matter how much you insult me. You absolutely know exactly what I was talking about. You are not as clever as you think you are.

Man, I could be half baked going on 48 hours with no sleep and I’d still understand what ‘the left’ means in reference to the American election.

Uh huh

Trying or not, it’s not worth answering. If you legitimately need to ask such a question, then you lack the very basic information required to discuss this topic.

What is ‘who’?

Nobody is going to regret voting for Trump while the left is still hard-married to reality denying ideologies.

The decisions being made regarding how to deploy and operate the Internet appear, to me, to betray a fundamental lack of understanding regarding just how incredibly complex the information environment within a healthy society actually is, and how much people depend upon it to maintain the basic functions of human life.

It feels to me as though early man discovered fire and immediately decided to burn down every single forest they encountered so dangerous beasts wouldn’t have anywhere to hide.

I’ve never seen anyone hate men just because they’re male

I’ve almost never actually seen it, but it’s BAD when it does appear. Had one boss tell me straight to my face that I was going to be useless because I was a man. She did all sorts of really petty stuff, like removing the clock from the break room and chewing me out for being ~30 seconds late coming back from break. Lost that job in less than a week when she literally lied to the manager that I never showed up for a shift. I could have easily fought and won for the job back, but I just didn’t care at all and spent my effort on more fruitful things.
