It has diverted traffic and money away from sites such as Twitter, FB and Amazon after TT videos called them out and offered alternatives or avoiding completely/anticonsumerism perspectives.

That's them being an elitist prick, full of English exceptionalism.

You could look through their previous comments and probably find that they invariably wear the badge of "political moderate" but their world view based around their superiority seeps through eventually.

There appears to be a lack of "centrist", non-political, or right-wing voices (and I don't mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions).

TBF, they don't exist.

They're might be some that on appearance hold reasonable views that are considered centrist /moderate conservative but if their privilege is questioned or their fragile egos get scuffed, they always and invariably go full on far right.

Their moderate views are just a veneer that are held to appear as such and never stand up to pressure.

Theres plenty of people who complain about drivers who get ticketed for using a mobile while at lights or stopped in traffic (think of the comments on a particular uk cycle cammer who films drivers using their mobiles then reports them) but it plays heavily with situational awareness & drivers ability to "check back in" to the activity of driving.

he had children, he had a family; we could say the same about many officials of the German Army in WWII, they had families too.

He had been living separately from his family for some time. He had a DUI conviction. On the same day that the company suffered a ransomeware attack that wiped $46B from it's market cap, he dumped $1.5M of his stock and along with others, was being investigated.

The media has obviously done a whitewash of the guy, as it's in their class interests but to call him a piece of shit would be going lightly.

Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!

Because the state determines anything that potentially threatens the state as a "threat to the people" while not allowing the people to organise, especially with anything that may threaten the state.

Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees
