What makes you think that I'm not extremely critical of the US government? Not much I can do there other than throw myself in front of an ice agent abducting members of my community. I'm not sure what trans jokes you're talking about from his variety sketch show days, but if I didn't cash those jokes then yeah I guess that is on me.

Right, and he seems to be willing to throw away the audience he built for "speaking out" in favor of a check from the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. I won't assume what is and isn't genuine from Dave Chappelle but to pretend like his bigoted takes aren't a recent shift is wild. All that being said I have no stake in this argument, I was a fan and all I'm saying is that I am not surprised. Just disappointed.
The comedians Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle and others decided that alienating their fan base by accepting an egregious amount of money from the conservative monarchy of Saudi Arabia may not be in the room with us right now, probably because he's on the other side of the Atlantic.
You mean the thing that's currently happening?
The alt-right are easily amused
Right, so how does xenophobia solve automation? The robot takes the job from the immigrant who allegedly took the job, meanwhile, the robber baron is laughing all the way to the bank he's about to own.
When did I say it's okay? I just said this is nothing new, it's not an anomaly. You should be outraged, but don't act like a for-profit company isn't going to chase profit incentives, and if they are incentivized to sensationalize, they're going to sensationalize. If they end up making more money from an outright lie after any litigation, they'll tell a lie.
It's all good, I thought we were just yapping
Unlike a professor who would reject a student's unsubstantiated claims, a for-profit entity won't care about evidence unless its absence hurts profits. And you can say that about nearly any commercial news or journalistic organization. Establishing an equitable and high standard of education is the only true way to combat this, and that's not happening in our lifetime
I guess, but inflammatory and sensationalist headlines have always existed.

Companies make a little money selling your information. It is better to assume that any information you hand over to a private entity will be sold. It doesn't matter if they say that it isn't going to be at that time. Should they ever fold your information goes to the first bidder.
