       @UncivilServant Honestly, this is a good thing. Call it the #CobraEffect, but I see a couple outcomes coming from these assumptions.1. Average people who have a habit of watching pornography are unwilling to stop.2. This unwillingness will drive them to expand their technical know-how to include VPNs.3. Thus becoming more enlightened when it comes to privacy protection (even if they're still coomers).

       @adamasnemesis Green energy cannot be stopped, that's what that means. Even the most powerful ideology bends to economic forces.

       @anarchopunk_girl Plus, kids are smart, so the efficacy of parental controls are often limited. If one application is compromised they'll use something else or find some workaround.I agree with your assertion that fully informing kids so they're empowered to understand their own decisions is the right move.

       Starting to think the definition of "#woke" is just that it's a synonym of "true". Reasoning later.#blackmastodon #foxnews

       I recently rewatched a Louis Rossmann video called "DO NOT ACCEPT THE PREMISE OF ASSHOLES". https://youtu.be/T38pZ9pFXA0It features very heavily the #anti-intellectualism of #Twitter takes, where they read a thumbnail or see a headline and jump so far off the evidence deep-end that they end up in conclusion hell. It's fundamentally just how rumors and #propaganda spread.

       I think this cycle can be generalized to all tabloid mainstream news coverage like #foxnews. A good news source who follows the market model a little more closely than the propaganda model is not going to ever have to pay a 757 million dollar lawsuit because they basically don't parrot misleading information.You're never going to see @ProPublica paying that kind of money to settle a lawsuit because their reporting is solid.

       Anyhow, #foxnews can't blatantly, unapologetically lie to their viewers anymore. If they want to keep that same disinformative vibe going they need a euphemism.Enter "#woke".

       "Woke" basically stands in as a euphemism for all the aggregated historical facts that #foxnews is unwilling to tell their audience. Relevant comic below:

       Still my favorite passage from Angela Nagle's book "Kill All Normies".

       I should probably clarify what the reasons I like this text so much are.Essentially it's because the passage is from an actual 4chan user distilling his cumulative experience of the platform into one deeply disturbing piece of prose. It gives a glimpse into the insanity and nihilism of right wing moral transgression.

       I set up a software program so that if you answer honestly, I'll know your birthday.
