    My initial statement was much stronger but i knew people would be like omg not all homeless are bad. I can’t say good or bad because i dont think people are that simple but they absolutely are more likely to commit anti social behaviour which I hate.

    Welfare provides enough money to rent a place, buy utilities and food. So the only people who end up homeless are the drug addicts or people unable to meet basic decency requirements. This makes it so a majority of the homeless are horrible. They attack people, crash out on random strangers, shit up whichever area they are put into.

    We’ve tried housing them it doesnt do anything except make the area horrible for normal people. We have an emergency housing system where you can go into the welfare office and tell them you’re about to be homeless and they find you a place to stay but its at the point where people show up and say they’d rather be homeless than live next to these people.

    So for these people I’d pay the extra costs to house them in jail but they technically havent been convicted of a crime to be put in jail.





  • I like PDS and watched for over a decade. but ive had to stop treating it like a news source. I feel his coverage is not informative unless you live under a rock and need a quick rundown of what’s happening. He oversimplifies to the point of being misleading definitively leaves out contrary info and makes way stronger claims than the evidence really supports. He knows his audience (me included) and spins the story for them and in reality its probably not him but his writing team.

    His interviews with officials are still good.




  • You’re right. I have no idea how I read your initial comment and jump to that conclusion. I must have been tired when i replied.

    For the actual response. I think this law does partial combat the misinformation,advertising and brainwashing concerns. I dont think we can/need to prevent misinformation, advertising or brainwashing for people over 16 without serious infringement on civil liberties.

    For algorithm’s its far less feasible to go after. These companies protect the algorithm because its the core IP of their business. Its not something we can simply get rid of without destroying the most popular feature of the platform.








  • It seems to be popular with people i talk to in real life. It also seems go be very popular with leftwing people outside niche internet spaces like this. Most people are viewing this as a good way to prevent misinformation brainwashing and not paying attention to the removal of internet freedom. From talking to these people its because they dont think there is internet freedom as internet is only 5 sites which all spy on you already.
