What confounds me is that the same people that say corporations are evil and corrupt are the same people who claim they'll save them with needles filled with unknown substances and components.

Right. Sure.

Just.... what a reductionist outlook on life

I think most reasonable Americans, liberal or conservative, take issue more with the interplay between corporations and our republic than the concept of a corporation itself. Mainly the fact that we've allowed ultra powerful entities to hijack our system of representation so thoroughly that our institutions are crumbling around us. MAGA's seem to yearn to be ruled by cartels.

What confounds me is that the same people who claim to adore free market capitalism allow themselves to be tricked into dismissing the technical miracles it produces. The technology behind mRNA vaccines is one of Western civilization's greatest achievements.

Lol I’m watching the vid about this guy’s vacation to Afghanistan within the past year, which is now completely governed and controlled by the Taliban (they are the security at the airports and at his hotel), and as he’s taking a walk through the hotel, what does he happen to find in their trash pile?

Just found it humorous. USAID, Our tax dollars at work. Remember kids, we hate our history of colonialism, but we loooove ideological colonialism:

Too bad the Taliban took over just before we could teach them about gender affirming medical care. I imagine it would have been a smashing success. Can’t even imagine how many repressed trans people there must be there…

…yknow, men in Afghanistan thinking “if I just can’t be my authentic self as a woman who has no rights, I may as well just kill myself”

This movie fires up members of their base but if it was a movie about saving children from abusive religious figures this movie would be condemned.

The movie “took creative liberties in depicting the different methods of child trafficking.”

"Songs of Freedom" offers a "false perception" of child trafficking that experts worry could further harm the real victims.

The movie starts by showing children snatch up at local business and out in the open.
Which does happen of course.

But more underage are trafficked through drugs or run aways situations which isn't touched on (well when focusing on the US).

In reality, some are throwaway kids. They are kicked out of their homes and trade sex for food and a place to stay, and end up being trafficked by a pimp. In a lot of these cases, the trafficker starts out calling themselves their boyfriend or girlfriend.

Some of the victims have a family members that pushed the child into a trafficked situation for either drugs or in some cases shelter and food.

Sound of Freedom almost exclusively focuses on very young children, the majority of child trafficking victims are adolescents or teenagers.

In fact, a report from the Counter-Trafficking Data Collaborative states that 67 percent of children trafficked are between the ages of 15 and 17.

Generally, young people end up in trafficking situations because their family is in incredible poverty, because of political unrest, because the child is being rejected by their family for their sexual orientation or gender identity or any number of things.

Lack of focus on tragic cases like these, in favor of more dramatic narratives about international rescue missions and shadowy strangers abducting kids, has resulted in a skewed perception of child trafficking.

Nationalizing a movie from a conspiracy cultivator to re-energize a base who has their own abusive occult is going to only inspire more crazed MAGA gun enthusiastic fanatics spreading horrible rumors about Wayfair or pizza restaurants.

I wonder if he realizes this stems from Hillary not being able to block a movie critical of her. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He who feeds you rules you. If the US can produce 1billion tons of food per year to feed us, and a person out of jail trades sheckles back n forth consuming 1 ton of food per year with their US Gift certificates, and you lock em up in jail and reduce their allotted food to a half ton, that's an extra half ton of food you can export.

The economic activity of the plebs outside of jail increases the carrying cost of the country more so than locking them up in a concrete shithole. It's better for the environment too; less e-waste and a number of other ecological factors amplified by American leased-"freedom"
Jails are staffed by government workers, streets are not. I really think I'm right! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
