  • Iranian mathematician missing in Canada may have been targeted by Tehran, activists say

    跳过

  • Some nations' intelligence organizations are infamous for false flag activities to help with justification for their country's aggressive activities, and two of those nations are currently involved in massive military attacks on Iran. So, while Iran does have a Russia-like tendency to go after individual enemies in foreign countries, that is not the only plausible explanation. One could argue both alternate suspect nations are fascist with a desire to justify attacks and invasions on other countries.

  • How Japan Protects Children Online — Without Mass ID Checks

    跳过

  • Sometimes it seems like it is less "protect the children" as it is "keep the children unsullied for the pedophile overlords" that is just being packaged as "protect the children." It also seems like the aspiring overlord class wants to track all of the desired slave class to reduce the chances of guillotines. But a lot of how it's allowed to take hold (in the west, at least) is because of the Abrahamic cult programming so many people still get while they're too young to look at it critically.

    I recognize I come across as a raving conspiracy nut. Perhaps more sedately, I would phrase it this way: the use of heavily hierarchical mythology in early childhood installs belief systems that make the population much more likely to be eager to live within hierarchical social environments that serve the agendas of those best positioned to run, control, and benefit from a hierarchical world. And the mythology positions an unsullied, pure child as highly valued, making both "protect the children" effective, and making "violate the unsullied to prove your power" desirable goals and easy manipulations.

    Either way, any long-term solution is more likely to come from eliminating that hierarchical mythology before critical thinking is developed than any kind of universal ID, or the ridiculous OS level age API California is trying to force into play.

    Sorry for the rant.

  • The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage

    跳过

  • I am going to need some explanations. First, they say there are 510 dwellings per 1000 adults, and then they say there are 1017 dwellings per 1000 households. In the first number, that requires more than two adults per dwelling. That deems like we haven't hit demand yet, let alone surplus. The second numbers are only possible if there are hundreds of thousands of extra adults beyond a couple in most households. Or hundreds of thousands of homeless adults. None of those imply to me any kind of surplus. So I don't see a source of downward pressure based on over supply. If those 17 dwellings per thousand households are sitting empty, and we have homeless people, then either those 17 are uninhabitable, or they are unaffordable relative to the mode or median incomes.

    Why doesn't increasing affordable supply help solve that issue?

    The solution suggestions do make sense, it is the argument that there isn't a supply shortage that has missing pieces.

  • Job creation idea: farms of propaganda specialists flooding the standard social media algorithms with messaging to help people think more critically, move off of techbro propaganda streams, and counter the bullshit that will be coming through. Make part of elections Canada, and track for possible recruits to CSE and CSIS, as well as for public affairs officers.

  • Psychosis rates climb among young people in Ontario, researchers find

  • Could be linked to extended living under a corrupt conservative government, too. Constantly being told to ignore evidence, a sense of learned helplessness, and rising corporate authoritarianism could lead to psychotic symptoms. It would also lead to an increased desure to escape the stresses reality through cannabis.

    On a less facetious note, did diagnostic criteria change?

  • Danielle Smith’s $30-Million AHS Firing Spree | The Tyee

    跳过

  • I remember reading (relatively recently) research showing conservatives literally believe badvthingscdo not happen to good people. If they know someone personally who they know is good, and something bad happens to them, they either think it is a rare example of bad luck and they will help out, or they will decide that person must not have been a good person.

    It allows them to justify the mental gymnastics of being anti-abortion but paying for their daughter's "procedure" at the same time. A "good" family member who gets cancer deserves help, but why should they fund cancer care for those morally bankrupt <fill in the "other"> people?

    Apparently they have overactive amygdalas, among other issues, and a reduced ability to engage critical thinking towards their own beliefs.

    So, yes, they kind of are cult members. But they can't be easily deprogrammed, and even if we purged this lot, we would still end up with some cropping up again.

  • I think the "to randomly stop people" is for decoration. They're actually describing the authoritarian personality disorder that makes someone want to be a cop. "The police need power" is the essence. And I say, fuck that! The police need boundaries, better judgement, and a shock or two to the system because I agree with another commenter, ACAB.
