  • This is exactly it. Hurting things, destroying things, these are pleasurable behaviours. Look at how young children play, how we have to teach them to be gentle with animals until they can develop enough empathy to be trusted.

    Empathy is what counterbalances the pleasure of sadism. If you feel bad you hurt something, that’s a pain that is much greater than the pleasure a normal person gains from sadism.

    Some people, on purpose or by accident, have shitty empathy.



  • I knew this thread would be FILLED with Trump apologist. He literally said “was there any love?.. Like there was in Germany”

    It’s not taking it too far. It’s what he said. We don’t need to figure out if he meant a prison guard or Germans in general. We don’t need to excuse what he meant by adding precision he didn’t add. According to Trump there was love for Jews in Nazi Germany.

    I’m so glad to see at least a few people resisting the sanewashing.



  • That’s an uneducated take. The amount of goods and services required by a population as a whole isn’t affected by boycotts. What one company loses others will replace since they have a profit motive to do so. This requires them to hire additional labour which can easily come from what labour boycotted companies lay off.

    That’s assuming a boycott has such a large impact as to require a workforce adjustment which is basically a fantasy scenario in most cases.

    Stop convincing people into more apathy than is already plaguing us.

    This kind of thinking is why no one has the spine to fight Trump. “If we don’t compromise our values and adopt fascist ones then we’ll lose the whole program” if a program has to bow to fascism to survive it’s better off dead. This is Trump’s doing NOT a Finish advertisement that’s getting these programs shut down. If you don’t pay the ransom it’s still the kidnapper that killed the victim not you.

    What the fuck are you talking about? You ever had a cop find and arrest someone who violated your rights? Must be nice to be that well off! Around here cops just beat students during protests and protect scabs during strikes.

    This is exactly what Disney is trying to do by throwing an ex employee under the bus.

    If people’s lives depend on your systems, and your systems can be undermined by a single person and not caught for years, then you’re playing with people’s lives.

    Secondly, even if this was the case, how could they possibly justify trying to get out of being accountable by saying she signed away her rights by using a free month of Disney+?

    This is just Disney moving on to their next bullshit excuse to not pay after the first one didn’t work.


  • This is in comparison to private corporations who have a profit incentive to monetize your data in every disgusting abusive way possible. Companies with a fiduciary duty to exploit every possible potential for profit or they can be sued by shareholders? Companies that aren’t publicly auditable so you’ll never know who they’re sharing your data with? Like the recent trend of cars selling your location data to your insurance company who then uses it to hike your rates?

    You’re comparing a government who has to be bribed or break a law in order to share your data at all with corporations who have a duty to sell it to the highest bidder. And in this comparison your conclusion is it’s the government that you can’t trust?

    Sorry, I have to say I’m completely baffled by your statements right now.
