The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Wow I'm sure nobody could've predicted this happening 🙄
About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Anyone who was paying attention during Gamergate recognizes these tactics.
“Oh *we’re* against doxxing, of course, but that person who got doxxed totally deserved it, and yeah, sure we’ve been calling for them to be fired and their lives ruined, but *we* didn’t personally do it.”
“Oh *we’re* against doxxing, of course, but that person who got doxxed totally deserved it, and yeah, sure we’ve been calling for them to be fired and their lives ruined, but *we* didn’t personally do it.”
This pretty much captures the contradictions of the politics of Kirk and Turning Point: Of course we oppose doxxing and violence, but we will absolutely use inflammatory language, false claims, and enemies list that fuels threats and intimidation.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.
SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"
PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.
It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.
The Supreme Court knocked down one of the two pillars of the Voting Rights Act in 2013 in the Shelby County case. It has now gone out of its way to consider whether it should knock down the other, by rescheduling arguments in a case it could have resolved in June under existing precedent.
