to create best practices for containing online harassment, which disproportionately affects women and young people

Wait wait wait. Who's harassing the young people, boomers?

Funniest observation I've seen in a while.

Also, young women engage in cyberbullying more than any other demographic. Johnathan Haidt went off a lot on it when he was on Joe Rogan.

Yup. I think 20-35 year old women on Twitter are the snarkiest most insidious people out there.

People think being sarcastic non-stop is funny.

That's SUCH a brilliant observation. You really ARE a genius.

Fucking moron.

Throw in some needless vulgarity and you'd be spot on.

Fixed it for you.

The statement says that it affects those groups, not that they are victims.

[–]madcow-5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Well I think they're typically the victims and the aggressors. Mostly it's just funny to imagine a trend of boomers harassing children online.

[–]whistlepig 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That is some funny imagery. ;]

Either way... its clearly what was meant by that statement. Its just a shady way of saying they're planning on unconstitutionally bringing the power of the state to bear on the type of programs that are already being ran on major social media platforms like Google, Twitter and Facebag.

Sadly, the actual answer to stop giving personal info out online will never come up.

The first rule of the internet.

Despite being 13% of the population boomers make up 56% of cyber bullying.

Must protect those "young people", that is by making sure they don't hear anything but Holocaustianity propaganda until deprogramming them is impossible.

Trump is Jesus compared to Biden's Satan. And Trump is a sleazebag.

"Trump is Jesus compared to Biden's Satan. And Trump is a sleazebag."

That's a nice concise description of where we are at. For all those who say "But the alternative is Trump!", implying there can't be anything worse, guess what? We have discovered: Yes, it can get even worse. Biden. is. that. bad.

Every election has a "face" and a "heel". This election was interesting, because both of them were obvious heels paraded around as faces.

If you don't know these terms, they are from WWE. A face is the person the crowds roots for, while the heel is the one they boo.

Biden insults the troops to their faces: https://www.air.tv/watch?v=yFSEemCjRsadiVFRmIgXTQ

Right after that he pretty much calls them retarded: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-biden-troops-stupid-bastard/fact-check-bidens-2016-stupid-bastards-remark-to-u-s-military-intended-as-joke-idUSKBN26L3F3

The propoganda covering up for him is insane. (FacT ChECk: Joe Biden called troops "stupid bastards" as a joke mannnn )

biden is going to completely lockdown the entire country, if elected.

I have a theory as to what's going on here. I think (based on family who put these beliefs at the center of their politics) the elite truly believe the end of the world is coming because of "climate change". They are genuinely afraid. Fear is a terrible state of mind from which to make decisions. Yet those who actually wield the levers of control have found themselves unable to spread their fear to the majority of the population. But - in their minds - the threat is real! So something must be done! They realize that even all the Elon Musk marketed electric BS is in truth useless to the task of limiting carbon emissions. Hmmm... how do we stop carbon emissions? To do this would require the stoppage of industrial production. Hey?! Covid! That'll do the trick. A full-spectrum industrial halt. Magic.

Meanwhile, the Chinese (who clearly have a lot of influence now) stoke these ideas happily, watching their nemesis committing suicide in the name of this fear. They love this shit.

Long-term goal: the global left doesn't believe the United States as a separate entity should exist. Our local power-base (the US government) should instead be limited to the point of elimination by their preferred "global decision makers". They're quite explicit about this.

I don't think anyone with an IQ above midwit actually thinks climate change is going to end the world.

Fuck with weather patterns and the ecosystem a bit, sure, but the Gretta level fear of extinction's just vapid white women and teenagers.

[–]insta 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think it exposes something greater though. I agree that these people don't believe that the world is going to end, but it shows that these people are willing to lie to get to their objectives. If lying is going to save the earth 2 years faster than being honest than it's well worth it to them.

People who are entirely goal-focused (as many progressives are) are super dangerous.

Or "coastal elites" with beachfront property in NY and Florida.

much of predicting the future outcome of this current fiasco is little more than speculation, but i cant disagree with anything that you write.

i can tell you with little hesitation that islamic influence is behind all of this bullshit.

That's an interesting perspective I haven't saw before.

Hmmm... how do we stop carbon emissions? To do this would require the stoppage of industrial production. Hey?! Covid! That'll do the trick. A full-spectrum industrial halt. Magic.

But how long covid can last, at most? 2 years, 5 years? Then things go back to normal, inevitably. Sounds like quite a hassle for little to no result.

That's silly. At the macro level this is the same colonial type system that has always been going on. More specifically its the social engineering variety that has been developed by the Rothschilds, Rhodes and such and often gets called things like "communism" or "fascism". It went underground to a good deal thanks to the influence of America's revolutionary wars and others but its the same power struggle. Mostly what we're seeing here is an effort to bring the freedom loving people under control and convince most others that despite all the evidence it was a bad idea and wasn't what they wanted anyway.

All these things have been going on way before even the great global cooling scare in the 70's that was orchestrated by the same people.

The elites have for decades been storing seeds in caves in Norway to preserve a food source should something REALLY bad happen. How scared are they? That said it's not a bad idea. It also protects against failed GMO.
