  • I don’t see how anyone can blame you for this oppinion, and I’ll happily say I agree 100%. It’s basically known for a fact that anywhere sex work is unregulated, unmonitored etc… are almost universally used by traffickers, underage participants etc… and if we are talking video hosting, then revenge porn etc… Gotta fully agree, this is the category I want the site operators across the board to have the government breathing down their neck saying “You better damn well do everything humanly possible to prove this video was made with uncoerced consent of someone old enough to make that choice”.






  • Biggest flaw IMO is it seems like they just are going with a binary “left – right”. rather than specific issues as well.

    IE, when the democratic party “leans right”, they adopt, cut taxes on corporations, they basically give the right their narratives.

    IE Republicans on immigration:

    There’s millions of murderous drug cartel pet eating monsters in this country wrecking everything, we need to get them all out of here by any means necessary.

    Dems response: We should absolutely get them out of here, but it’s worth it to do it slowly and keep due process.

    The obvious problem being to the uneducated voter they hear “The parties agree, there are lots of horrible murderers here, do I care more about the rights of the murderers, or getting them out before there are victims”.

    Rimworld does pretty well on not just “money trader has” but specifically that traders don’t deal in, well things they don’t deal in.

    Elder scrolls to my knowledge, the blacksmith will sell you a sword… and literally buy cheese wheels down to his last penny.

    what’s he going to do then… flip the sign from black smith to cheese shop, until he builds up enough cash to restock on metals, why isn’t everyone a general store at that point due to customers selling and buying random stuff.


  • More dumb to me is, just simply the concept of nations changing drastically over time. It was the communist party of russia that fought along side us in WW2, it was the facist states in germany and japan that we fought against.

    Obviously it’s not the land mass and the name that people have problems with, it’s the actions, people don’t like the authoriterian regime that’s attempting to take over the nations around it. People like the nations that show no signs of attacking other nations and look for mutually beneficial agreements.

    This is so much like the confusion when he thought the german leader would think of D-Day as a bad day.





  • Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I’m hearing far more “My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he’s going out of business”. Then comments on how they don’t live in a big city and they don’t know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.

    So yeah… feels like “I won’t make money”, “I’ll lose my business”, and “oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined”.
