Liberalism has always included free markets and isn't the left. It's only the US dichotomy of liberal vs. conservative and the volume and reach their media has that confuses the issue.

Yeah, well, I'm boycotting American groundhogs.

Pretty simple. Right wing = bad. Extreme right wing = extremely bad.

Wow, that must be a first in history. I'm not in tune with Portuguese politics at all, but the far-right candidate must be real bad to cause this to happen.

So, entirely fair.

“Oh I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”

Yes, that's the lesson of the Holocaust. If in your mind the lesson of the Holocaust is that Israel gets one free genocide, you are fucking psychotic.

Older article but worth a read in light of current events, I think.

You need to stop thinking laws are inviolable writ handed down from God. We're all playing a game of shared make believe where the rules are only strong as the collective will to enforce them. That will doesn't appear to be sufficient so he can likely do what he wants.

The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It's worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

Now if they could just take this lesson and apply it to the rest of the 'information' that is supplied by the media environment they have immersed themselves in.

Oh no! Businesses whose 'innovation' is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.

It feels like a threshold has been crossed. Reddit related content is there but not so dominating as before. People are memeing other things, news and politics discussion is popping up, particularly popular posts from more niche communities as well, it feels like a much more healthy mix of content now compared to the beginning of July and especially compared to when I joined during the reddit blackout.
