Good points. I agree with the paradox of tolerance and your other points.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. This type of discussion is why in use social.media but it is rare to get past the partisan brigading.
Civil disobedience is an interesting point in this case. Personally, I probably would have acted as this Canadian woman did.
What I am struggling with is understanding what counts as a disinformation campaign. I read in your post that you’d answer this as a society and with research however, if you were put in charge of this research tomorrow, do you have a draft definition of a disinformation campaign?
I ask as I try to see the world in black and white and steer clear of the grey however, this is rarely possible.
Free speech being a good example. It’s either a 1 or 0.
Hypothetically (because I’m interested and not trying to start an argument) would you ban the delivery of leaflets for a pro Trans party that was authoritarian?
P.S. I agree with you points :)
A different analogy would be a right wing person refusing to deliver left wing mail. Example might be something for a ‘Woke’ support group.
Another could be, Atheists refusing to deliver religious letters of Christmas cards.
My point is , we can’t leave it to individuals to decide these things in isolation.
Map Men did a good video on this:

Map Men. Map Men. Map Men Men Men Men
Who decides what is hurtful though?
If it is the person delivering the leaflets then a Nazi postal worker can decide not to deliver postal votes as they see democracy as hurtful to their cause.
Anyone know if they’re using their existing engine?
Spore was alright for the time. It looks like they cut a lot to get it over the line but it was a good concept and ok-ish.
People you dont want to piss off:
I know there is a lot of “the collapse of China lol” takes but the middle income trap is a real danger.
If your country doesn’t move to a consumption based economy you’re gonna have a bad time.
It was like corporate said “You’ve gone 6 episodes and we haven’t seen the antagonists tits. Spin the wheel… Add a hot tub to their space ship and have a bath scene for no reason.”
“a troubled, oil-rich former British colony with a history of political violence”
:D
I used to get Cartoon Network as a kid. I watched Outlaw Star and really enjoyed it. However, in one of the later episodes they crowbarred in a topless jacuzzi scene for no reason.
That sums up my anime experience.
I watched Dragon Ball Z and a bit of Gundam Wing but never really enjoyed them.
I bump into Dragon Ball Z fans occasionally and they’re pushing 35 and have themed pillows etc. I think that is mad but I’ve met more than one person like that.
I have no themed things in my house nor would in buy any.
P.S. I enjoyed Samurai Jack and often say “Long ago in a different land” randomly to my partner.
Any recommendations based on the above?
One of the early chapters in The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins) covers this.
I feel that. Just imagine how bad it would feel if you weren’t doing any of that exercise.
I thought this was an anti homosexuality meme until I read the top comment.
I’ve got to stop using Lemmy. It is changing me…
3x toots? That didn’t happen.
Is there a wiki for the best way to block ads per device type?
I’ve figures it out on Fire Stick (I know) and Firefox but I have no experience installing android apps via root or developer mode.
On screen keyboard rides again!
In was expecting a twist but plank is love
Thank you for this detailed reply.
I think we’ve found the crux of our 2x points of view:
Without a definition of a disinformation campaign it is difficult to set rules that can be enforced. Example: do religious leaflets count as disinformation as they aren’t based on scientific fact? If not then why is there an exemption for that case and not others?
I preface this with: I am not in the field but am biased to the views of the British NHS. The scientific sources you’ve listed, though through, are contradicted by other scientific sources (note, I’m not talking about “these are my facts” but actual institutional research).
Source: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/treatment/
Puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones
Puberty blockers (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues) are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness.
So in summary there are 2x challenges I see:
Reputable scientific sources do not agree on this issue.
Applying a purely scientific principle will break existing norms and allowances. Principles agrees for this area and applied to other areas will cause an impact.
I’m keen to get your views on this as this is where my own thought processes usually get stuck.
Sorry for long text replies but this is helping with forming a more concrete view for myself :)
