I don't see the trial bluepilling anyone, but it seems to be redpilling some. Hopefully the truth sets a lot of people free.
You know, it happened in 2003 with the Iraq war. A lot of people were swept up in that but later realized how wrong they were.
I know there's some disagreement, but I'm inclined to forgive people once they realize they were wrong and they were lied to.
The intolerance of the left is what led to the current situation. Tolerance, love, and forgiveness is peached by Christianity I think in part because if you never let people repent and reform then you have the sorting game they have -- you slowly chip away at people who aren't pure enough until you only have people who are absolute psychos and people larping as absolute psychos because they don't want to be found out. If the right (such as it is -- arguably "the right" consists of a lot of the left who were kicked out of the club by the intolerant left) engages in the same thing then it'll inevitably pendulum back and nothing will change.

@AdamAtSea I wrote yesterday about how Europe is the "My girlfriend from Canada" of socialism. This tweet is why.
These people don't know anything about Europe, including the fact that it's a bunch of different states with different economies and different ways of living.

I guess the fact that there's no downvotes on soapbox-fe sort of bypasses the point, though on the other hand the basically uncensored nature of good instances means you can always just say "I disagree"

@guttersessions It's not gonna change, and eventually you'll get old and it'll become you and the kids will be saying the same thing about you.
Unless you decide to be different, somehow. So what should be different? What does good look like?

@11112011 I'm on the record as opposing government spending in general. It was a key reason I didn't support the conservatives in the last election, and instead went for the PPC who advocated for balancing the budget within 2 years.

@BigSkyRider I love the fact that the world's most powerful computer network now contains the world's most distributed social network that you don't need to ask permission to join.
@houseoftolstoy I think you're right, and I know it isn't europe, but I think communist china is the best example directly.
They love the communism, but the country is the opposite of everything they claim to believe in. It's incredibly racist especially against black people. There is no naturalization process whatsoever. They have no effective environmental regulation. They produce more CO2 than most other countries combined. They don't have gay marriage. They ban effeminate men from TV. They have literal ethnic concentration camps for their Uigur minority.
But communism therefore they cannot sin no matter what.

Europe is like the "My girlfriend in Canada" for communism.
A bunch of Americans who don't know anything about Europe claim that living in Europe is just like living in their communist utopia, despite that being patently false in every country in Europe

You know, I really enjoy Linus Tech Tips, but sometimes Linus shows he's an advertiser and a product manager sort of guy and less a tech guy.
