glenford morrison full and honest reviewsPublished 2 years ago in The SwampThey don’t make them like that any more
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you will know that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has recently passed away. Outpourings of grief have followed all over the world and indeed the internet, for a woman who served her country dutifully for 70 years. There have also been many voices saying that now is the time to end the monarchy, and make Elizabeth the last. I don't think, unlike some, that it is an inappropriate time to make that argument. In fact I have a lot of sympathy for it (if you want to know my overall feelings on the royal family, read the article I wrote when Prince Philip died last year), but there has also been a lot of strong criticism of the Queen herself. Much of which is just disrespectful, and indeed based on lazy thinking, in my eyes. Not that I would deny that anyone has the right to those thoughts. But it's given me some thoughts of my own, which I intend to attempt to articulate here.

This will result in a possible 3% tax hike for individuals making under $10,000 year, but because the affluent are receiving tax credits, no one seems to mind. The Inflation Reduction Act is well known to raise taxes for everyone; in fact, the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation have both come out and said as much.
EstalontechPublished 2 years ago in The SwampCan We Do Anything About Our Eroding Freedoms?
Freedom has been won and lost a million times over thousands of years. Small groups and large groups have attempted to define and implement freedom. Everyone you ask will assure you they can tell you what freedom is. Unfortunately, as with all things, every person has a different opinion, making a "one size fits all" definition of freedom nearly impossible. There is a plethora of components that people agree on, but no two people will ever agree on every aspect.
Bonita L PetersonPublished 2 years ago in The SwampHas social media driven political polarization and does information cause political polarization?
You're wrong if you think social media is causing political polarization. Social media plays a role, but you cannot directly link it to political polarization. Political polarization refers to the division of political ideals and goals within a population. Social media was a fairly new phenomenon when this became an issue in recent years.

Sadie BrooksPublished 2 years ago in The SwampMinds Is the Anti-Facebook That Pays You for Your Time
DURING MARK ZUCKERBERG’S over 10 hours of Congressional declaration last week, legislators over and again asked how Facebook brings in cash. The straightforward response, which Zuckerberg evaded, is the commitments and online exercises of its over two billion clients, which permit advertisers to target promotions with razor accuracy. In which case, asked agent Paul (D — New York), “for what reason doesn’t Facebook pay its clients for their extraordinarily significant information?”
Russia blocks Facebook and restricts access to Twitter within its territory
On Friday evening, the Russian authorities responded to the blockade imposed by social media platforms on the pro-media media, specifically RT and Sputnik, and announced the blocking of Facebook and Twitter, due to the impact of the war against neighboring Ukraine.
This War Brought Out the Best, and Worst, of Twitter
Over the last few days I have been thinking about surrealism a lot. It was the only word that seemed to describe the shocking change my life was subjected to on Feb 24th. I use the word surreal to describe how something so dream like and unreal could consume my very believable reality. Now having looked it up I am not surprised to see the surrealism started after World War I so that artists could share their unnerving and illogical experiences. It seems without even knowing I understood the mood they were trying to convey.
The Facebook scandal and American double standards
Do the Iraqis have the right to raise the slogan of death to American soldiers, former President George Bush and those who came after him, on social media, because they invaded their country and occupied their land, and displaced them in various parts of the world, killing more than a million people? Are they also allowed to apply the same action to the leaders and armies of other countries that participated in the invasion?

That was in March 2011, shortly before the outbreak of the revolution, in a conversation with a well-known Syrian activist about a dispute that broke out between her and another well-known activist over organizing a public protest activity in Damascus. Facebook, so she rested her head by making her a "block"!
