They destroyed far more than just America, everyone’s just too myopically focused on America’s problems to notice what they’ve done to themselves by attempting to copy the digitization of society.

That’s exactly my point. If you come into a conversation and start declaring the definitions have to be different from how the speaker uses their own words, because people they’ve never even met said so, that’s not a good faith effort.
The point is that you have to make a good faith effort for communication to be possible, which you are not doing here. Language evolves organically, not by the dictate of a legally mandated authority.
Well if you actually want to communicate with others outside of academia, you’re going to have to get used to attempting to understand people rather than constantly trying to “fix” them.
Whoops. Accidentally suppressed discussions regarding the accidental suppression of discussions. Those darned silly technical glitches are just so unpredictable.
Reformatting.
This may take a moment.
In common usage, I’d argue it just means a society which is run by technology rather than people, which everyone is trying to do these days.
technocratic
I was unaware this was a feature of society unique to the political far right.
Way too many people treat life like a movie, where anything other than gripping emotional drama is just stumbled through with eyes glazed over.
I think of it like an oil slick on a pool of water. Very pretty, but absolutely zero depth. They indulge heavily in the aesthetic of a space sim, without actually having anything of substance tying it all together into something coherent.
Read as much as you like, so long as you don’t mistake the words on a page for an accurate representation of the real world.
I’d argue that you’ve just described one source of error, but it still furthers my point that allowing strangers to tell you what you’re seeing and why will not result in providing you an accurate picture of reality, and potentially return a highly distorted one.
it’s the job of the press to tell us what we’re seeing and why
That’s a pretty dangerous way to approach other people. Journalists are just as capable of error or corruption as everyone else.
Collective punishment
Are ad blockers to blame?
Why do you make me hit you?
I just started cooking for myself. Began simply with pizza from scratch. Dough and sauce are both easy to make from raw ingredients, and the result is far better than frozen or delivery.
They’re doing it to try and erase the most foul word they’ve ever encountered: No
You gotta have a public position and a private one, just like Hillary said. Say whatever is useful in the moment while staying on course to achieving your true intentions of obtaining more power.
Bingo.
The only people you actually end up reaching are people with good intentions who don’t need to hear it in the first place. “Stop taking advantage of people” is a message which can usually be dispensed only by force. The moral panic over “toxic masculinity” did very little to affect those who actually caused problems, but a great deal to disenfranchise those who would actually make bad actors stop taking advantage of others.
