The rabbit holes are multiplying!
Imagine this: You are a 20 year old #soldier & are born into a regime. This regime has itself cut off from the rest of the world (thinks North Korea) & was established prior to your birth.
You are 30 now, the #regime has fallen & you live in a democracy.
Can you be judged for the crime of murder if you shot a #defector as instructed & you had no concept that this is unlawful (as it wasn't in your insular world)?

"It will be important to remember the shame of this moment, both how it felt and how it worked, when it is time to build whatever will rise from it—to remember the blithe and brutal and self-delighted contempt with which this elite set out to devour every other better thing, and to work to build a life and a world that is not just strong enough to resist it but dedicated to its opposite."

So it’s important for users, developers, and investors to encourage innovation and diversity in online spaces, instead of solely focusing on creating platforms that trap users and prioritise profit.

#KevinMcCarthy’s bid for the #speaker’s #gavel went into a historic third day after #Republicans adjourned Wednesday without a single #defector reversing course.
The decision came after McCarthy huddled #Wednesday with a mix of his supporters and his most ardent #holdouts as they clawed for any path to break the high-stakes stalemate — which has #humiliatedtheGOP on a national stage.
