was it a genius idea if it was never needed in the first place?

give it more than 14 days.

you got deadlines or something?

what if we make a compromise on the land area, say 3/5?

not the undecided swing state voters.

theoretically, perhaps, but remember you have to prove the damages in court somehow, and the jones was liable. The Sandy Hook families were dealing with very long list of direct consequences from his conspiracies, like people showing up at their houses and harassing them.

I suppose if there was an assassination attempt with evidence of the perpetrator saying it was due to this conspiracy then yeah that would be similar. seems pretty unlikely there would be clear enough evidence for that though, given all the stuff people hate on democrats for.

The propaganda wouldn’t be anywhere near as effective as it is without the attacks on education.

yeah I disagree, but I doubt either of us are going to find conclusive evidence one way or the other.

the thing is he wasn’t in trouble for his lies generally speaking, he was in trouble for specific lies that made the sandy hook families’ lives hell. As long as he’s talking about general conspiracy bullshit that doesn’t materially damage anyone, he can still say whatever the fuck he wants.

yeah I’m not denying education is under attack. I just don’t think it’s anywhere close to the same level of responsibility for conspiracy thinking as propaganda and social media.

he knows he can still say pretty much whatever he wants as long as it’s not materially damaging to anyone.

i agree this is the main thing, plus social media. that’s a recipe for conspiracies to spread like wildfire. any asshat can make a spooky video and appear to know what they’re talking about, and people are not nearly skeptical enough. Not to mention algorithms designed to keep people clicking, tapping, and watching.

sure education is facing challenges but i don’t think it’s THAT much worse than a few decades ago. it just hasn’t been able to catch up with the propaganda and social media.

i dunno, these people were never gonna be on board anyway. maybe i’m just being cynical.

A. T. entered the US in 2021 as part of the Special Immigrant Visa Program, available to people who worked with the US army or under chief of mission authority as translators or interpreters in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The indictment did not mention whether the Afghan national was indeed a translator for the US armed forces.

the movie Toys called it 30 years ago although they were remotely controlled, not automated.

pretty sure US is doing this too.

China’s ruling Communist party has long prioritised instilling loyalty in students and has made the political education of teachers central to those efforts. Pre-travel instructions for teachers in the eastern city of Wenzhou indicates local authorities are concerned about the ideas they would encounter outside the country.

I think that will change in the absence of Trump as a candidate, especially if he throws his weight behind one of his kids.

they won’t necessarily need to duke it out if Sr unequivocally endorses and campaigns for one.

that may be, but we don’t even know if it’s true that Blinken approved it.

misleading headline. clearly they did not approve bombing of aid trucks indiscriminately. the question is if they approved bombing of aid trucks hijacked by Hamas, which is unclear.
