"It hurt itself in its confusion!"

This isn't quite their "tumblr moment", since they do have a huge market of everything else, but buyers and sellers are just going to move to rakuten or something. They're hurting their bottom line for no good reason. It is amazing how irrational corporations are these days.

I hadn't really considered that cancel culture has been prevalent in academia for decades.

Even in Sticks and Stones which I thought was pretty hilarious and spot on about everything else, he played up the tired old "white people don't want black people having guns" trope. He said watch how many white people turn against 2A once they see black people carrying weapons. It's a worn out unoriginal schtick even if it were true.

At the same time, the media thinks it's completely fair to over emphasize white-officer-black-suspect shootings, and hate crimes, and not report on the race of criminals, and make black people think whites are hunting them. That's not irresponsible at all.

I don't think people notice stuff like that. We're constantly told that men are in control and women need to break the glass ceiling, and most people will just assume men screwed things up again.

Polar opposite of the UK. (at least from that one story)

Nah I think it's more to poke the SEC in the eye. He hates them, and hates government rules selectively enforced on people the bureaucracy/media doesn't like.

He knows he couldn't pull this shit with public stocks*, so he boldly does it with crypto. Laughing at the SEC and daring them to regulate while he manipulates the market and makes money on the dips.

(*although he did say TSLA was overvalued, I still think that fits into his behavior pattern here)

It's enough to start making people wondering if it's really not a (((globalist))) conspiracy to destroy the West.

I'm sure it's not that simple, but at the very least it's a symptom of our disgusting post-modernist globalist culture suiciding itself. In the US where it started, progressives put the "Huddled masses yearning to breathe free" on the statue and we were programmed to believe "diversity is our strength" and accept all immigrants. And it seems fine to believe America is somehow special as a multi-ethnic nation until you look at the demographics of the UK, France, Sweden, and Germany and realize they're pulling that same shit in European ethnostates. And then you see they're trying to do the same thing in Japan, where yes they have a population problem but even though they could encourage Japanese people to have more children and improve things with automation you still have people telling them they need to import more uneducated foreigners and "refugees". Not just Japanese businesses, but foreign investment groups and professional journals telling them they will be better off if their population becomes "less Japanese".

It makes little sense unless you imagine it as some kind of coordinated global effort. But that would be crazy talk.

Poland is funding young Polish families to have more children.

I don't see how importing refugees who barely speak the language and will have difficulty integrating into the culture will increase tax receipts. In fact in Germany they are taking welfare.

The airlines also share a private list, which basically makes them an anticompetitive cartel.

That data is completely meaningless.

On top of that it's a pie chart.

Kill it with fire.

The Onion sucks. They were good when they had a TV channel though.

Devolver published some really nice retro-style games. Kind of a shame, but there's other fish in the sea.

Since the mainstream communications channels are woke trash heaps you'll have to forgive the people here venting about it sometimes. (all the time)

The whole social distancing paradigm is a radical departure from established norms and would have been considered unorthodox to scientists in the medical community just 5 years ago.

Nothing wrong with admitting it's triggering even if you can brush it off. That's all the definition of the word used to mean until SJWs appropriated it.
