There's a mutualism there. Assholes promote religion as a way to get status and impunity. Religion promotes assholes because they're useful in manipulating populations raised to be asshole-like.
It's worse if you realize how many people have this sociopathic attitude as if they're trying to literally speciate themselves and push their "inferiors" to extinction. Which is what this is, it's a biological arms race, the same kind of shit non-European indigenous people had to deal with due to European settler-colonial activity.
Editors can act as filters, which is required when dealing with an excess of information streaming in. Just like you follow celebrities on social media or you follow pseudo-forums like this one, you get a service of information filtration which increases the concentration of useful knowledge.
Honestly, there are now lots of eye tracking software that can be used to check if someone is looking where they're supposed to. I'm pretty sure it's going to be common in the near term as we're forced to look at ads...
China's investigation appears mainly targeted at Spain, the Netherlands, France and Denmark, the three biggest EU exporters of pork to China.
All of them are subsidized heavily and very entitled to that and to polluting freely.
The EU is the world's second biggest producer of pork after China and the biggest exporter of pork and pork products. The EU's main producer countries are Germany, Spain and France and between them they represent half of the EU's total production. The EU exports about 13% of its total production. Most of the EU's pork exports go to East Asia, in particular China. https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/farming/animal-products/pork_en
