Human Trafficking.

Until the drugs wear off or they need to go home early, then The Implications keep them there.

Honestly, his daily briefings are just telling him what he wants to hear. He might have had some pushback in his first term, but those people have all be purged by now.

Maybe I am naive in thinking ICE is going after the criminal element that exists in the illegal immigrant community.

You are.

The state defines what an "illegal immigrant" is. Why should I agree with their definition of an illegal immigrant is?

The Nazis were just rounding up illegal Jews. Why was it so bad that they rounded up illegal Jews?

The plantation owners just wanted to own Black people. Black people had no rights, so what's the problem with owning them?

Do not conflate legality with morality.

Generally, they will move the graveyard is there's nearby construction. They need to get permission from the next of kin to do it though. There's one semi-famous example in New Jersey where they could not find any next of kin for a single grave and ended up building around it. There's also one graveyard that's been cut right in half by a highway.

American's value capitalism more then the Japanese respect their dead, so it's not hard to convince Americans to truck their ancestors around.

Then they weren't paying attention or didn't care.

Hollywood is a network of interlocking blackmail. They all know each other's dirty little secrets and Leto has a sex cult island he's using as a honey pot to get a bit more dirt on other people then they do on him.

Just nine? The dude has a sex cult island.

I didn't see that part.

Isn't that Princess Leia?

Harvard makes villains. Out of the names you recognize, how many are "good guys" and how many are "bad guys"? I like Lessig, but he knows he's making lawyers that will work for people he doesn't like.

Pretty sure you also had to pay royalties fees for radio/Internet radio regardless of where or not you played their music.

Did you actually watch the dub? I don't know how you can watch the show and not see the intent. Fuji TV just said they weren't interested in micromanaging the dubbing or marketing of the show. The script was written in the writer's room and the voice actors were involved. Dubs, whether legit or shitposts, don't just happen.

Found a con interview with one of the VAs. Some of the finer details were off, but jokes were very much intentional.

“how to get unauthorized or free access to audio or audiovisual content.”

In the future, public domain media will be banned for harming corporate profits.

A marketer's pride would never let them tell the truth.

I would be very happy if advertisement all looked like this.

It can also be propaganda against something that obviously true. It can be used to gaslight people into not believing their own eyes. Like being told that Trump isn't leading to a more hateful country and it's only twitter memes that make him look bad.

The "you are not immune to propaganda" meme may also be propaganda depending on who and when it's being used.

I also run a lot of ad blockers and tracking blockers as well as educate myself on how advertisers use people's insecurities against them. The "How TV Ruined Your Life" series is a pretty comprehensive. Coercion by Douglas Rushkoff is also great for immunizing yourself.

edit: Updated with links. The core of Coercion is still relevant, but it's tech/internet perspective was from the early 2000s.
