the Julius Caesar of our time—Donald Trump

Biiiiig doubt right off the bat, but I’ll keep reading.

We can’t stop people free-riding, it’s part of our nature, the incurable syndrome… Free riders are among us … if we accept that we all have this ancient flaw… we can design policies around that and change our societies for the better.

Right, ok, I guess that makes sense. How do we fix it then?

Self-knowledge: …appearing trustworthy but being selfish can be more beneficial to the individual. We need to recognise that and make a moral choice about whether we try to use people or to work with them.

Ok, sure, for the less-selfish folks who have the capacity for self-awareness. But the more selfish folks already know this because they are exploiting it.

Education: We must teach people to think ethically for themselves, and to give them the tools to do so.

Hmm, big doubt. We’ve been trying to do this for ages in many societies. Not only has it not been a panacea, the selfish often hijack the education systems themselves.

Policy: Goodman believes that exposing free-riders is more beneficial than punishment… suggesting that journalistic work exposing exploitation can be as effective… as criminal punishment.

Ok, you lost me. Maybe the book is better, but this is garbage. I don’t care about changing behaviour, I want to stop the bleeding. Criminal punishment for the criminally sociopathic! This guy and Susan Collins can keep eachother company…

No more Miracles on the Hudson, only Meltdowns.

As a non-brit, I really don’t understand. I thought Labour was supposed to be slight left. Why are they running a Donald Trump Lite government? Cutting aid, cutting services, scapegoating refugees, weird AI moonshoots… Didn’t people reject these policies from the Conservatives when they elected Labour? Why didn’t the Brits just keep the Conservatives if all this is going to happen anyway?

No, impossible, I was told he gonna feel very good and very strong.

“Have you said thank you once this entire meeting?!”

Ah ah ah yeah!

Diamonds are forever, but emeralds are for fascists.

Europe will likely have to spend double the rumored 700 billion to achieve something credible.

So, what you’re saying is that this spending package for defense is NonCredible?

Good thing everybody’s respecting laws and treaties these days!

Can’t steal what’s already stolen.

In summary, we have an unsourced claim that bogus pirate IPTV portals, designed to deceive “ordinary people” (the term is used twice in the article), have been operated by law enforcement in Italy for the last year. The alleged purpose is to gather evidence in support of an administrative offense punishable by a 150 euro fine, if indeed any offenses were even committed by the hundreds of people reportedly identified.

I mean, that’s what the election was literally for. Looks like they got off Scott free for 2-4 years at least.

Onions back!

Been down mostly for a week or two, started with DDoS issues, not sure if that’s ongoing or if the onion site is just gone now.

scientist: That’s weird…

I feel like we’ve seen this movie before…

Maybe it can barely run a web browser because it’s working so hard spying on you?
