The fact that everyone who hung out with Epstein are not in prison is a testament to our two-tiered justice system. There is no justice if justice is for sale.

Most of Western Europe has severe limits on advertising. They ban things like comparative advertising and don't even allow advertising for prescription medication.

It is not about deciding what propaganda is allowed, it is about setting up regulations to prevent misinformation.

Our current model in the US is the good will outweigh the bad. That people will be able determine the truth and ignore lies. This is of course poppycock.

Unfortunately propaganda works really well and if you allow misogynists and Nazis to have a mouthpiece their numbers will grow.

Control is not a bad thing, those that push toxic freedom and "free speech" have moved the goalposts so far it is hard to believe. We have been so propagandized to it is hard to separate reality from the lies at times.

The truth is propaganda, misinformation, and public relations are working to sow discontent and manipulate people and it is wrong. We are supposed to protect people, not throw them to the richest wolves who convince them that they should enjoy getting eaten.

The average person is easily manipulated by propaganda. Highly intelligent people who should know better are easily manipulated by propaganda. This is why propaganda is so dangerous and should be tightly controlled.

Without context what you say may seem reasonable. Conservatives and Republicans have created this problem by preventing a solution to the Dreamers, cross-country labor, immigration reform, etc.

There are two real perspectives here. One is immigration is a useful tool and most immigrants here illegally provide valuable services to our country and are settled, have families, and work. The second is that immigrants are the source of our problems.

You speak of facts and feelings, but it is clear the conservatives have no facts and are all feelings. What you say is just their typical projection. To sum this up, conservatives are just wrong about immigration and instead base their perceptions on racism.

The reason behind this action is textbook treason. Who told him to do this and why? Questions we all should be asking.

This is just the beginning. It is a signal for all the Red States to pass these type of cuts on their social safety nets. This is a direct transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Another round of trickle down!

AI might be a convenient excuse but it is my understanding this all relates to a change in US tax code that no longer allows a company to write off research and development.

The genocides will continue until the morale improves.

It is way way worse than that. That was cute though.

checks notes

The USA has about 20% of the world's prison population and only around 4% of the world's population.

Looks like we found our solution!
