Obviously this guy is despicable. But don't trap people. If he was scheduled to answer questions and it just so happened every question was about Palestine, that's a different story. That's just him having to field tough questions.
If a progressive leader was trapped by maga folks sentiment would be very different online.
Even if people are shit, they shouldn't be trapped as that violates bodily autonomy / consent
Anyone who's name is an anagram for The Reptile invalidates your entire premise...
Additionally, he's also probably had at least one of his former boytoy lover's killed and he's just generally an awful human being who's entire goal is immiserate everyone he doesn't intend on sharing his doomsday bunker with.
My entire premise is that "we" should hope to be better than someone like him.
The society "we" want champions things like consent and respect.
Sometimes people "deserve" no respect because they have despicable behavior, but inherently "possess" certain respects due to being a human. Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately.
As a detached example: even mass murderers and terrorists deserve a day in court
I'm sorry, but Thiel is way above mass murderers and terrorists. Him and his ilk are playing Meat Space Gods. Literally deciding all of our fates with none of our input. They are trapping us against our will every single day. The living embodiment of an eldritch being.
Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately
Nah, fuck that. Rich assholes who try to destroy the fabric of our democracy don't deserve those respects. He wanted to use his money and power to make life miserable for regular people, so booo fucking hooo if he can't use his money and power to get away from public opinion.
You're not, because that's tankie Khmer rouge shit.
You're gonna develop bottom up representation to make their bad behavior impossible via the furthering of progressive candidates. You're helping with that, yes?
It’s built into Safari and therefore integrated into third-party Lemmy apps as well. You can enable opening all links in Reader Mode in most Lemmy clients for iOS.
I agree that the modern internet is shit, but paying for journalism isn’t what’s making it shit. If we don’t pay for good journalism, we don’t get good journalism.
Until someone figures out a better way of doing it that's not a real answer. I'm not going to pay for every website that gets shared on every website I regularly visit. Even if I wanted to, I just don't have that kind of money.
I don't know how to fix this, but it is fundamentally broken.
