Corruption is a cancer that destroys everything it touches.

Prove me "crazy thing" wrong! No I don't have to show evidence you have to show evidence against it.

The claim that "vaccines do not make you actually super hot and cool" is not an evidenced-based claim because no one has actually ruled out that vaccinated people are cooler and actually better hangs.

Equally valid statement

Unfortunately they are starting to exploit the biggest “weakness” in science. That theories are valid only because they have yet to be disproven. And that theories will change if new evidence is introduced to the contrary.

They are now basically saying “well since you can’t prove it, there’s a chance” which is fundamentally correct at its base but it’s in extremely bad faith.

They’re now basically forcing people to prove a negative, which is impossible as a means of forcing their views.

I thought living in the future meant people would understand how to use computers.

I was, uh, wrong.

Thank you for your daily contribution to capitalist society. Unfortunately, your woke-style awareness of social dilemma is counter to the goals of:

• Increased profit
• Decreased labor costs
• More regressive taxes
• Less progressive taxes
• Military domination
• Economical domination
• Cultural division
• Decreased regulation
• Decreased education

You’ll have 15 social credits deducted and may participate in free speech once again starting at 12:00pm tomorrow. Be aware that your score is nearing levels that will prevent job occupation, social program participation, social media participation, sunlight exposure, and time spent with family. Should your score decrease further, you may be required to shop exclusively from Grade D consumption centers. Have a good day.

Idiocracy wasn't a movie, it was a documentary sent here from the future.

it's politics.

politics makes people dumb and delusional

Is it this one?

It is a well known scientific fact in psychology that simply encountering a proposition will make you more likely to believe it is true long after the fact.

If I tell you, erroneously, that the population of Russia is 10 million people, then if you have no clue, five years later if I asked you about the population of Russia, you would say "I remember hearing it's around 10 million", and some other cunt from the other side of the bar goes, "Yeah! I heard that too!"

It's easy to prey on people's cognitive heuristics. Like, you don't need to know that information on a day to day basis, you got to take the kids to school, and then head off to your two jobs back to back to make enough money to eat. So our brains work at a "best possible result for the lowest average cognitive cost", kind of.

That's the whole shtick. Just bombard people with misinformation, they have neither time nor faculty to make sense of it. That's why human society and democracy is so precious- we agree that we are not going to do that to each other, and cooperate instead.

Of course, sooner or later one of those fucking assholes get born who are all like, "the world is mine and I will gladly dance on the corpses of millions just to be on top, and even that will never be enough". And that's it!

It's easier to destroy a sand castle someone spent hours building on the beach than building one yourself.

I feel like most Republican supporters won't learn or change.

There's going to be a "They thought they were free: Trump Edition" that's going to be extremely depressing. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Thought_They_Were_Free )

"Years"

Get a load of Mr. Fucking Optimistic over here, guys.

We'll have fucking Edward Gibbon writing "The Rise and Fall of the American Empire" in twenty years.
