@robinsonmeyer I don’t question why journalists and experts keep a Twitter account going— what upsets me is when they don’t cross-post, or only sporadically. That forces their entire audience to be tethered to Twitter to see them, locking us all into a self-fulfilling prophecy. If more of you that are content-providers would just take a minute to cut/paste, you free the rest of us to vote with our feet, while you still retain maximum exposure and leverage.

@britishtechguru @QasimRashid so your best plan is to wait an unknown number of generations, while meanwhile not exercising responsibility over what this uniquely immature and bloodthirsty people can get their hands on, regardless of the consequences? You really haven’t thought any of this through, huh.

@britishtechguru @amoshiashwili @QasimRashid do… do you think no one mistreats each other in other countries? Do you think ostracization, mockery, snobbery, abuse, religious bigotry, ethnic tension, body shaming, sexual assault, pressure to perform, existential despair and so on are mostly US things? I’m curious a) why you think that might be and b) what exactly you think schools, workplaces, and other community centers around the world are like.

@britishtechguru @Galliformesguy is rage simply not much of a problem in the UK, or Argentina, or Greece, or Germany, or Australia, or Japan? Did everyone else figure out the secret to a wholesome harmony that skipped over one country in particular? Big if true! Maybe the US should simply ask any of these places that don’t have a mass shooting every week or two how they’re managing that.

@britishtechguru @QasimRashid where is your evidence of this happening on the scale of US mass shootings? Bringing up other countries is self-refuting, when you compare the gross difference in numbers. Do you think other countries don’t have bullies, mental illness, violent video games, secularized schools, absent parents, poor role models, or all the other proposed causes? Is it your contention that America simply has the worst, most damaged people around?

Hunter Biden would have to serve on the Burisma board for at least 5,000 years to earn the money Middle East governments have given to Kushner’s firm since Trump took office. #Kushner of course had an official White House position, and worked on ME policy.
