  • ah. so your evidence for “every PhD student” is one (1) person and some… contracts.

    cool cool. if not racist, orientalist. thanks for showing your hand.

  • more like the United states defended private monopolization of publicly funded cancer research.

    it matters to everyone who can’t afford or access treatment worldwide, unfortunately

  • I haven’t been on any .world subs for a while, didn’t realize it was this bad here

  • By what evidence ?

    e: comment removed for racism. :) everyone should learn from this.

  • You miss the crux of this despite quoting it yourself

    The MDACC is publicly funded. They take money from our taxes.

    Why would a “non-profit” be so concerned with keeping medical research data private? Unless they, perhaps, are planning to sell to a for-profit pharmaceutical company. This isn’t my analysis, it’s truth; this is how it works.

    The argument you are laying out is the “national competitive edge”—ignoring the harm that this exact strategy has already caused. Here are some real events that represent a recurring pattern:

    • Covid mRNA research was funded in part by public grants; despite this, research was not shared as a public good leaving huge swaths of the Global South without timely access
    • The AIDS crisis was worse and decades longer in Asia and Africa than in the US, even while treatment existed, due to the privatization of medical data and the resulting monopoly abuse of treatment pricing
    • In 2025, similar patterns are playing out with cancer research, like from MDACC here. Except this time, the profiteering is done of the face of actual US citizens; the ones who paid for the research. In the US, novel cancer treatments can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, meaning that significant percentiles of sick taxpayers forgo treatment because the taxpayer research was sold to a private institution.

    It is from these examples I feel it’s easy to conclude that publicly funded healthcare research should not be a trade secret. Any attempt to undermine that structure of abusing literally life-saving information for wealth sequestration gets a couple of cool points in my book.

  • womp womp

  • you missed the third step which is “a lot of people using the c slur and spouting anti-Asian rhetoric”

    it literally says it in the post dude. and those threads are available to the public, i could pull them up as evidence… pls i need us all to keep up

  • finitebanjo somehow coming in with the worst takes imaginable once again

    zero indication that this guy was at all under directive of the CCP

  • your sarcasm goes unappreciated :P

  • profit

  • fuck

  • i hope they conveniently win all $800,000 for the victims

  • i know they are from the same case that’s why i put them in the same bullet point. here’s a source but anyway get blocked lol

  • yass. It’s exactly that drama-seeking that causes such a big problem. It gets views but in the end it’s using the same social exploits as rap beef or reality TV to address complicated and dangerous topics. I do believe it’s positive when people at least wake up to that, even if their media consumption doesn’t immediately change. :)

  • sexual harassment (3rd link down) https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/florida-streamer-destiny-sued-over-cyber-sexual-harassment-court-documents/, revenge porn (from his wikipedia) https://www.polygon.com/news/527186/destiny-steven-bonnell-sexual-harassment-lawsui

    and his current involvement with at best putting himself in the position to receive csam and treating that situation flippantly even if by luck it never happened.

    go ahead and tell me that’s “not really bad” and again that i am ”a [derogatory semi-ableist word]” for disliking him as a source of poli-analysis 😂 makes you look rly good

    For my part I hold people I look to for insight to a pretty stringent standard. :) U don’t have to do the same but it’s telling that me just expressing my standards caused u such a reaction.

  • generally just don’t get your political analysis from anyone who streams :/ in my personal opinion it’s a poisoned well

    obvs to varrying degrees, but there are so many other media, even online like podcasts, researchers, on the ground reporting, essayists, etc

  • def look it up. easy to find.
