Holy moly

Has Kim been transphobic? Or is this just you generally hating techbros (not that I'd really consider him a techbro tbh)

They are somewhat right about the fact that the vaccines haven't been sufficiently accessible in Africa to actually tackle the crisis, though

Though it is worth noting that the original commenter very nearly hit on an important point: the vaccines are not accessible enough to communities in Africa, especially in the poorest - often the most impacted - regions.

Mpox is something we could have stopped long ago with a better system of distributing/purchasing vaccines, like with tuberculosis.

It is true that when these diseases reach Europe, North America and East Asia, these medicines suddenly start being distributed far more effectively, since that's where most of the companies that manufacture them are based, and since the countries there are wealthy enough to effectively do so, but only now that it's an Us Problem™️

Too little, too late, though, in classic Congress style

The Myanmar Rohingya genocide was nearly a decade ago now, and we're somehow still at the "asking Mark nicely to do a better job of moderation" step, somehow

I guess the police at least are able to order Facebook to remove it (sounds like that's what happened) but then yeah, as you say, I expect they will have just escalated to the county/state police, if anything

I knew this was beneath that Read More long before I pressed it

Especially since their one example is Caesar, who lived in a time when basically everyone was gay!

Edit: and about 1.5 thousand years before capitalism was invented

The Churchill example I think demonstrates the OP's misunderstanding, in that all of them did terrible things/were horrible people, but excelled at being effective leaders in the context they were in.

Churchill was a terrible human being, racist, abrasive, homophobic, a drunk etc etc. But he was an outstanding wartime prime minister, because he was a talented war strategist, a compelling speaker and, frankly, had enormous balls.

We can go back and try and just classify every human into the good/bad boxes, but that reduces away all the details that make them so interesting.

It wasn't for him, but for those who were named after him it was used to symbolise that they - like Caesar - were one of "the greats"

Our system is fucking broken - too many people cannot get the care they need, or they go into debt to get it. It needs to be fixed.
