British leaders keep saying the problem is "division on social media." I am Japanese. I read the news carefully. In Belfast this month, police confirmed the suspect travelled Sudan → Paris → Dublin → Belfast, then claimed asylum in 2023. In Southampton, a court confirmed the killer fabricated a racist attack to misdirect police while a student bled out. People are angry at the route and the system — not at a phone app. When a prime minister names a platform but not the visa that placed the suspect in the town, who is avoiding the argument?

People who believe the government are responsible for everything are consistently baffled by people who don't.

Under 16 social media ban in the UK? Which means if you are over 16, you have to prove that you are over 16 before you can access social media. Which means you have to ID yourself to the government. Which means if you run a pseudonymous account the government will know who you are. Which means if you say something the government disapproves of, they can arrest you.

Funny how the people calling this an unforgivable stain suddenly develop amnesia when conservatives, Christians, Supreme Court justices, police officers, President Trump, Melania Trump, and countless others are mocked, smeared, caricatured, and ridiculed for years. Apparently insults are a threat to democracy only when they target the right people. The selective outrage is getting harder to ignore than the joke itself. #AStoneGroove #SilentMajoritySpeaks

Then why don't you ban that moral cesspool, BlueSky? You are only banning the social media you disagree with.

Perhaps someone thinks you undervalued a property you own when you got a bank loan, even though the bank agreed and no one was harmed, and therefore you are about to get indicted. Turnabout is fair play, Greasy Gavin.

This is a narrative you have constructed in your own mind to protect yourself from the realities of the present world. The playing field is level. It’s been level for generations now. Which means your success or lack thereof is ENTIRELY on YOU - and that frightens you to death.

The fact that you are allowed to teach "law" to impressionable young minds is the only obscenity round these parts.

This sick, racist, MURDER APOLOGIST, Howard University ‘professor’ Dr. Stacey Patton, feels completely comfortable and job secure in saying that STABBING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING to DEATH is the UNARMED WHITE VICTIM’S FAULT! Of course Howard University hasn’t asked her to recant.
🚨 Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Howard University, wrote an article in which she blamed Austin Metcalf – and his family – for Karmelo Anthony's decision to murder him. Titled "Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries," the article argues that Jeff Metcalf failed to teach Austin that "black children have boundaries." In other words, Jeff should have taught Austin that black people will try to kill you if you ask them to stop violating social norms. While Patton falls short of outright defending Karmelo's decision, the entire purpose of the piece is to rationalize his behavior. Kind of like "Sure Karmelo shouldn't have stabbed him, but it was Austin's fault at the end of the day." She writes, "We have to talk about Austin's decision to approach and confront." As if Austin didn't have the right to tell someone from another school to leave his school's tent. As if somehow that minor confrontation justifies stabbing him in the heart. It is complete insanity. Patton ties Austin's behavior to "a long cultural tradition of policing black bodies and space." Right. Patton's Substack has nearly 50k followers. He has 300k followers on Facebook. She is an accomplished professor and journalist. The article received thousands of likes. We've all seen the low-class black people causing a scene outside of the courthouse. But it appears that even many educated blacks believe that people of their race have the right to murder anyone who asks them to stop playing music in public, respect physical boundaries, and so on. "Let us do what we want or we'll kill you" appears to be the message being broadcast by a sizable share of the black community. You don't have to be a far-right radical to recognize the many unsettling implications this holds for the future of American race relations.

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement. Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier. Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème. Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs. Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours. La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.
tu lui prends la moitié de sa tune ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde et ça ne change strictement rien à son train de vie

You know what I’ve been thinking about? There are far more racist people in this country than I ever realized. I have been blown away watching people celebrate the death of a White teenage boy simply because the person who killed him was Black. This teenager was not on drugs. He was not a troublemaker. He had never committed a crime. He played sports, made good grades, respected his parents, and was loved by so many people. Yet some people have found joy in his death because they care more about race than right and wrong. That is not justice. That is racism, hatred, and pure evil. A teenage boy lost his life. Anyone celebrating that should be ashamed.

As a creative who has constantly been on the outs with the elites of my industry, I've just got to say that watching a low budget horror movie made by Youtubers kick the shit out of Disney and have a better ROI than Stephen Spielberg is kinda amazing. :D

Why hasn’t your wife donated all of her family wealth? You can live a nice life off of the bond yield of 5 million. Why not show leadership and divest yourselves of the “vulgar wealth” you have access to?
