I know it's unpopular and seen as anti free speech but I honestly think social media has such a detrimental effect in society, especially for children and mentally ill adults. I think there could be some type of restriction like, you can't use social media until you pass a certain age or life milestone. Maybe something like until you get your first job post university. If you aren't mentally proficient then you shouldn't be able to post online.Also If you don't have experience in a field you shouldn't be able to make YouTube videos or TikToks about the subject. Additionally id be in favor of certain apps being unavailable full stop for people under 18, or at the very least there being time limits set by the government for amount of time children can use it.

Obviously I understand this sort of thing could be a slippery slope and there would ideally need to be some sort of consensus from the people on what restrictions would be a net good but I get do tired of seeing blatant misinformation on social media be allowed and children's minds rotting from the slop that dominates the algorithm.

I'm 26(M) and have never dated anyone or had any sexual experiences. Honestly it's something that seems to bother other people more than it does me. It's not that I've purposely gone out of my way to avoid women or anything but I really don't put myself out there in situations to interact with women, or really anyone for that matter. Are all people who are neurodiverse like this or is this just exclusively males or an autism thing? Just curious peoples thoughts on this

I've been arguing with my brother (he's far right) about WW2 history and he made a claim saying that the first prime minister of the modern nation state of Israel, David Ben-Gurion and some of the earliest Zionists said that Jewish blood would need to shed during WW2 for Zionism to be taken seriously amongst world nations and to further Israel goals in the future. So basically he said that the Holocaust was used as justification for Zionists and Israel's goals to be able to be harkoned back to even up to the present day. Some of this sounded like typical WW2/Holocaust revisionism BS but I wouldn't put it past Zionists to have said something like this even if it wasn't a full conspiratorial plan or something. Is this true or just part truths that are stretched into a far right lie?

I'm not that educated on the USSR but my friend who is a Marxist and has a pretty favorable view of the USSR was telling me that one of the few negative things about the USSR was its initial support for Israel. I was familiar with most of that but was shocked when he told me that the USSR actually treated disabled people fairly poorly and they shipped them off to areas away from the populace because they were deemed useless workers and the society wanted to exert an image to the capitalist west and the world as a whole that they were a productive soviet workers. Are any of these things true or are they exaggerated claims?
