If the world wants to shift towards extremism, why stop it? Give the people what they want.

They can also prevent you from losing your job unfairly, and fight for wage increases and benefits that you otherwise wouldn't get.

If you're going to die because you can't afford it, then does the risk really matter?

Not too hard to achieve after seeing how dead set Musk is on killing Twitter...

So what I read is that TPUSA enables useful idiots.

Stop giving attention whores what they want, for fuck's sake. It's like getting mad at Facebook comments which I thought we'd all learned was useless a decade ago.

You could always don a stage persona like Marshmello or Daft Punk. Then nobody cares what you look like under the mask.

This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.

Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It's the only way this gets better.

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn't acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.

Honest fact based journalism is an essential pillar of a functional democracy. Being informed is absolutely in the public interest, and government funding should support it, precisely because it often isn't profitable or sustainable for private companies (as we keep seeing over the years).

I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp. And the people whining about liberal bias and calling for defunding of public media are missing the forest for the trees (even if some of the journalism is questionable in quality).
