I skimmed over the full text earlier, it gives reasons for why it was the gravest crime against humanity, and in general did seem like it meant the gravest that ever happened (that we know of at least).

It also mentions (and really is about) reparations which I suspect mightve influenced the abstains even more than the assertion that it was the gravest crime. Easier to weasel yourself out of doing anything/keep reparations low if you can say you never really voted yes on that.

4x8 feet is a whole lot less than 4x8m. That’s less than 1.5x3m if im remembering how long that cursed unit was correctly.

Still not a super small area to just have available, but probably more realistic for many people. I could probably arrange for that in my 40m^2 apartment

I doubt it, honestly. It’d likely catch a lot of misinfo, yes, but it would likely also classify any new findings that run counter to previous assumptions as misinfo. LLMs can’t keep up to date. And they still have the same issue that whoever trains them gets to decide what is and isn’t misinfo, which starts being a problem when it’s an ubiquitous social media site.

I’d imagine the crazy neighbour is russia. I think they qualify, and the country is in europe.

What’s funny to me is that russia also borders the US. It’s not a land border, but the gap isn’t exactly huge.

Counterpoint: Being against celebrating someones death if I think their existence was actively harmful to society was never a principle of mine in the first place.

I agree with the sentiment though. The concept of people being principled in general and trying to divorce those principles from their opinions of an individual seems very foreign to most people.

From my knowledge it was just a logistics problem, mass killings are far easier to do then sending millions of people to a faraway country. And probably cheaper.

And yes, this has some grim implications about the current situation in the US.
