  • Wow there’s so much wrong with this:

    The concept of a digital data processing machine was made by Charles Babbage, a mathematician from England.

    The first phone was constructed by Italian engineer and inventor Antonio Meucci, Bell just got the patent for something that was being “invented” in several forms in previous years.

    Karl Benz from Germany invented the automobile but it was already Leonardo Da Vinci who conceived the idea of mechanical vehicles. The French Nicolas Cugnot built the first steam propelled tractor/car in 1769.

    The moon might be yours but only because the USA confiscated all the German knowledge about rockets and took the engineers like Wernher von Braun

    If the US eliminated starvation is something I can’t deny nor confirm but you certainly invented the largest drug abuse crisis (opioids and derivatives) in the history of mankind. Oh and mass imprisonment is also an achievement that probably challenges China or North Korea.

    Not sure about the progress aspect there, I have doubts. But one thing I know for sure: The US needs better education, it’s horrible how wrong you were.





  • I’m not sure about that. People are conflating sex and gender all the time and this looks even intentional to me just to create more confusion and potential for drama.

    If you check pre-millennial definition of gender you see that it was widely used synonymously. The distinction between sex and gender is just a form of newspeak.

    The current mainstream teaches that gender expression is constructed and gender typical roles are assigned at birth and by society during infancy. This is utter nonsense, has been debunked over and over again and is still based on John Moneys gender experiments with the Reimer twins.






  • Hmmm that’s an interesting topic, thanks for bringing this upz it’s something I never thought about.

    So without thinking this through just eyeballing it here’s my take;

    Prisons are expensive and the inmate needs to still make up for his crimes. Also being imprisoned without any kind of productive activity could have negative impact on mind and body.

    Now there need to be sone rules:

    • Additional qualification or study that are beneficial for the resocialisation and could lead to higher future income or better chance of getting a job should have priority.
    • Pay should be fair and reasonable, the pay should be split in a fair way is the inmate needs to pay for his crimes (restitution etc). There must be a minimum remainder for the inmate so they have money available while imprisoned and the rest should be made available when they are released.
    • Working conditions, breaks, OSHA etc needs to be on par with the standards outside of prison.

    Now is enforcing labour still considered slavery? Could be but at least in Europe you lose some (not all) human rights when you’ve been sentenced to prison so it’s acceptable.

    Now one disclaimer: This is with only theoretical knowledge about prisons on western Europe. The US prison system is something else all together.






  • What a ridiculous question. “Is a stabbing really more hurtful than a gunshot?” They’re both hurtful!

    Hyperbolic. Nobody is being shot, people feel offended for more or less valid reasons.

    Hateful content is routinely disguised as memes, “just asking questions”, “just a joke”, etc

    So? The burden of proof that this is hate is on you. Apart from this: Even if it was hateful, it’s not unlawful per se. If it becomes unlawful that’s a whole other topic.

    It’s super easy to teach a child to hate, for instance.

    Yes, children are children, they’re supposed to be stupid. They will hate another kid because it wears glasses, is fat, nerdy or because it’s Tuesday. You won’t change that, you just add another layer why certain kids will hate others. Hate because of hate. Doesn’t sound like a good plan.

    If every “good” instance blocks the hateful ones, then no one will see their content unless they go out of their way to sign up for that specific instance. That’s a good thing. It keeps the hate locked away where it’s hard to stumble into.

    Ah the hear no even, see no evil, speak no evil approach. Yeah that has always worked out pretty well, ask the French about Zemmour and Le Pen, the Germans about the AFD and so on.

    Now, what counts as hate? Whatever the admin decides. If the admin chooses to delegate that decision to the users, it’s still the admin choosing to do that. If you don’t like that, find a different instance.

    Ah there it is, the leftist authoritarian. Whatever Big Brother decides is good for me.

    Fuck hate. Fuck Nazis. Fuck the alt-right. Defederate them.

    Have a look at the state at which the right wing parties are re-emerging in Europe, look at Reassemblement National, Vox, AFD, etc etc.

    That is only possible because people like you think that containment and oppression of dissenting discourse and opinion is a good thing. You’re the new Neville Chamberlain and I fear what the result of this new cowardice will be.
