The source of most vulnerability is trust networks. We can get rid of the kind of trust that is unnecessary and unboundaried, but completely eliminating the possibility of any kind of vulnerability is kinda antisocial and undesirable.

What happened in Africa is not confined to Africa, and it is not a “them problem”. Across the continent, political consultancies, influence firms and state-linked networks have tested and refined methods of disinformation and psychological manipulation.

Middle class and poor white people can't afford to behave this way because they are more dependent on social networks.
This isn't white people culture, it's RICH white people culture. And it's anti-social.

yeah, I hope progressive networks think twice,and then another four or five times, before rushing to endorse someone for senator with no vetting or experience like Platner.
I don’t really think “not a politician” should be a selling point for a candidate. The job is politician. I want to elect someone who understands that job and is good at it and also is not a dirtbag. We have seen how catastrophic it is to make “not a politician” the priority over “not a dirtbag.”
