In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

I don’t.

I’m a bit clumsy (ADHD) and having a cable attached to my body attached to a €1000 device is asking for trouble. I hate the cable getting tangled up, caught on things etc.

I’m not sure which countries don’t - the UK doesn’t. Germany does.

But German police seem to be eminently better trained than the US cops.

What about if instead of giving police a free reign to commit brutality, he said something like “we’re going to vastly increase the funding that goes towards quality training; we’re going to reduce reliance on old military weapons and tactics; there will be less lawsuits because our police will be given a quality education.”

How about wanting the police to be the best at their jobs, rather than the most brutal?

Good. We should be in the nuclear age now with an electric infrastructure already in place and looking forward fusion and renewables.

Trying to go from fossil fuels to renewables is too difficult a step.

Why would they need to declare anything? They already are pivoting away from fossil fuels as hard as they can.

It’s weird that he thinks of it as “blackmail” though, and a thing that’s happening to “him”.

Blackmail is when someone has damning evidence against you and they threaten to release it unless you do what they want.

We saw the damning evidence. It’s been released. This is the reaction.

When he says “messaging” I know he means the inclusion of those minority characters because he referenced Black Panther as a success.

No, he doesn’t mean “inclusion of minority characters” - by the way - women aren’t minorities.

What he means - is that they did it in a shitty and clumsy way and a way that was not good quality.

Do you not understand the difference between “including monitory characters” and “making including minority characters your primary focus to the detriment of the quality of the story”

Because apparently “including minorities” alone just isn’t enough to keep audiences interested.

Of course, since you only have one interest it’s impossible for you understand the bigger pictures.

True. But it was left wingers who killed millions of Russians in gulags, who committed the Cambodian genocides, the long marches and purges of Maoist communism.

So maybe there’s something to be said for moderation eh?

One side is pure good and does nothing wrong! The other side is evil!
