Bacon is being such a weasel here. He says that if this is true then "...we'll have to take it from there."
He seems ready to move the goalposts or start openly supporting war crimes, if that's what he's asked to do.

And if, for some inexplicable reason, society really can't function when criminals are held to account, then we deserve the collapse.

Wealthy elites, in general, are not nearly as essential as they'd have us believe.
And even if they were, society is resilient and any void left behind could quickly be filled with someone who isn't so corrupt.

Not sure that analogy applies here.
The argument some people are making is that society has a bunch of load-bearing pedophiles, and things would collapse if they were punished.
Which is, of course, horse shit.

I never trust when AI companies say they don't use customer data for training. It's gonna be hilarious if someone asks ChatGPT about a rich person's tax return and it just spits out their personal data.

But modern enshittified social networks have clawed back all of that value, and individual users are left doing all the same things that used to work without any of the expected return on that time investment.

Honestly, I think a large part of it is just *the algorithms* changing through enshittification. At some point in the past, social media algorithms rewarded people for their engagement with some degree of community, and that community could be leveraged into opportunity.

In all honesty, they probably had too many returns after bored kids/teens/engineers destroyed their own consoles. The stories I want, of course, are the *engineers*.

I believe the technical term is "bullshitting," saying things with no regard for the truth, only interested in the effect of those words on others.

Even if 100% of Trekkies were raging MAGA freaks (and they're not), it wouldn't change Star Trek's political message one bit.
Then again, if they had any media literacy, they wouldn't be Republicans.

It seems wrong, but it's not because of chemistry. The acidic environment in a coke bottle causes the sucrose to split into the glucose and fructose within a few days of bottling.
A soda you buy at the store will only differ in fructose content by a few percent.
