  • I mean I get it, but regulations are sometimes necessary.

    Banning smoking indoors for example, you might say “Just don’t go where they smoke indoors!” well yea… Except that shit was everywhere where people were congregating and all you’d do is isolate yourself…

    A lot of regulation might sound like “just don’t” but if every kid around your kid has a tablet, and there is no rule against tablets, it’s only your kid who will be an outcast.

    I’m in general against too much regulation, but like vaccines, sometimes you have to target a whole group to fight a disease. You alone staying away is not viable.

    And all of this comes before we even talk about the MASSIVE disadvantage patents have against the mega corps, from the CONSTANT ads, to the targeted manipulation, it’s not a fair fighting field.


  • We need liberals and Hollywood to embrace young men / men again.

    The me 2 movement has completely gone off the rails where basically it’s painted all men as sex deviant assholes that need to be put in their place.

    Every movie is some girl boss bullshit where the males are either limp simps or giant assholes.

    Where are the male heroes? Where are people calling out bullshit they puts down all men?

    Despite what people want to believe we NEED a coalition of men and women and putting down either side is a losing battle.

    It reminds me of the time the democratic party decided to abandon the working class, because they’d be “able to make up” the votes in the suburbs…

    You cannot alienate a whole swath of people and hope to win the popular vote.

    If you were running for class president and the class voted for a vile racist asshole, your first instinct might be “geez all my classmates are assholes!”, but really you should ask yourself, wait a minute, I lost to HIM? How awful do people think I am??
