Meanwhile let's keep relatively quiet about current slavery
There is no current slavery in the us that is
Taleb would disagree. He’d say having a job is slavery :> especially if you’re sent overseas by your company.
@NativeInterface I don't think she manipulated Obama; I just think Obama didn't give a fuck about foreign policy. His focus was always domestic, and what little credence he gave to foreign policy was usually shaped by his dislike of colonialism.
Anything that reduced or undid western presence in the world was fine by him.
i see
you mean theres no legal slavery
So he was happy to rubber stamp whatever she recommended as SecState, simply because he didn't much care.
@YuXiang talib the rapper ? When did he become relevant again ?
cant really account for the criminals
Nassim taleb.
which is more like slavery? having a job or paying taxes?
working for money vs not getting to keep all of it
@YuXiang never heard of him ...i will read up on him
i guess working for free would be literally slavery, but working for half i dunno. half slavery?

around 5 years ago i thought mark dice was an arrogant idiot, but i think of him as an intellectual now by todays standards
i grew up on the perception that the NYT and the Guardian were bastions of free and independent press
how have perceptions changed....
well my perception of that changed back when i became a conspiracy theorist

oh dear
Apparently alex got suspended
I guess Jack felt the need to maintain the appearance of propriety and not be part of the 12 hour completely coincidental ban wave.
I'm wondering if part of the reason Lauren Southern says she's no longer uploading YT videos is to try to avoid being unpersoned.
in that case it's having a successful chilling effect
this is the moment when people should be loud, imo, but on the other hand i guess it's easy advocating for martyrdom when you're not the martyr
^ exactly.
Lauren is probably skirting the edges of being unable to make a living.
@NativeInterface being loud is good i agree but you paint a target on your back
yeah
Banned from patreon, demonetized/sandboxed on YT, speeches cancelled or levied with massive security costs, can't get hired for a regular media job ever again.
@Atkins or any job almost ever
I guess the worst case scenario would be doing the trad thing and being a stay-at-home mom for some regular schmoe.
but if we can get social media companies to overdo it, employers and society will likely stop taking them seriously
