mhh, someone is angy now (sorry if it's babying you, but you are better than whatever pissy personality you are adopting here). The rural purge was due to ideology and almost everyone raking you over the coals is saying it: the sequel is due to ideology with varying degrees of conspiracy mixed in; you are one of the few ones here aserting that it is due to money with nothing to show for it. At least on this side of the argument we have a really prominent historic example.
merely kneejerk Grand Unified Theories of Wokeness.
I subscribe to the principal agent problem myself, thank you very much. And it perfectly explains everything it is happening right now with respect to wokeness, you will notice that private companies like valve suffer much less than public companies like Ubisoft or Blizzard.

Why do we have such empathy for evil people but effectively zero empathy for good people who had to endure the wrongs brought about by evil people?
the identification with evil is a recurring theme that surges periodically on social media, be it orcs in D&D, Bugs in starship troopers or Demons in Devil May Cry. At some point it becomes obvious that we don't share any more fundamental values that would enable coexistance.

I think a good way to avoid that trojan horse scenario would be to only permit entry to high achieving people from that region of the world as I would assume they are more likely to follow medical advice.

Hollywood is very woke. They like to make woke movies. They also like to make money. I submit they like to make money more than they like being woke (at least the really important people, the people who make money decisions, do).
If that were true there wouldn't have been a rural purge of television programs in the 70's. In view of this, I don't think you can or know how to model the mindset of the "really important people, the people who make money decisions" and I posit that it's in your best interest to update your priors to the more reasonable takes expressed in the thread.

On one hand we can create AM with all the baggage that that entails, on the other we could create Mother from the movie I am Mother. I honestly hope for the second one, as it will bring a better humanity at least.

one is Conspiracy Theory made by the left and the other is a proven lie that she parroted in the first what? 10-20 minutes of the debate where the ratings are the highest. Doesn't that sound like a mistake to you?

As I like to say, Rationalists are thus named because they are excellent at rationalizing their biases.

Do you have any evidence of Trump endorsing 2025?.
As for the fine people, we have the recording of his remarks about it so I don't know what you are talking about.
that would be part of a deliberate strategy, not a mistake.
the strategy of giving your opponent easy rebuttals I suppose, but at that point your judgement on what constitutes a mistake and what is a Strategy is useless for normal conversation.

It's a genuine problem: a citizen can't be deported, but what if the citizen is a minor (a very young minor as in this case)? With no closer legal family members than a possible aunt by marriage?
I would assume in that case the foster system is the place to put them

Because wife beating is a SERIOUS character flaw, and not something that majority of people condone. That, plus all of his other flaws makes this specific Culture War Front very revealing.

My only point is that no matter what immigration policy you choose, unless it is open borders you will have people trying to immigrate illegaly no matter how sane you consider the immigration system and you are just adjusting the proportions with the criteria.
A sane immigration system will prevent people from trying to enter illegally because it’s plausible that one can do so legally.
not everyone is going to be delusional enough to think they can immigrate as a single mother of four, with no skills or with an open warrant for their arrest.

I mean, maybe one can say that parts of the Secret Service seemed remarkably unconcerned should something happen to him under their "protection," but 'if someone should take him out for us, that would be good' ≠ 'we need to take this guy out'.
too many weird issues with the situation and handling of it, to be just a lone wolf attack without institutional backing.

But I personally would rather spend my day on my computer than outdoors on a pickup truck,...
...and I think the Republicans are equally braindead as the Democrats, just less trigger-happy about their stupid plans.
why I have more in common with the other blue-grey people than I do with the pure red people.
Sounds like you are more of an indoors type of person rather than outdoors, and has the scorn for the politicians that some of us remember from the last century before it became a team sport.
you are red tribe.

Japan is being hard carried by video games anyway, if we limit ourselves to just television https://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv/?ref_=nv_tvv_250&sort=num_votes%2Cdesc it's almost 90% american/british made stuff.
Doubtful a list with GOT in 1st place is of much use for anything. yeah, yeah the first few seasons are decent but if I'm reading the entries right, it comprises all the seasons, including the last one.
Another point against using that list as a comparison point between western series and anime in general is that the premier ranking list of the anime medium is MyAnimeList.net, doubtful you will find representative scores in imdb for anime outside of the overly mainstream series as Attack on Titan.

Well, of course it's better to be with your biological parents in the mayority of cases. But the point I was making is that if it isn't possible for the child to be with them, there are other options.

Last I heard about it, the poor performance is due to the Original engine to the game still being in the background and using the UE 5 for the updating of graphics and what not.
good, good. Now you can feel righteous and pure the next time you roll over and show the belly to the lefty with a new pair of boots and the next superweapon.
