If the world wants to shift towards extremism, why stop it? Give the people what they want.

The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let's see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn't matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn't automatically win.

If you're going to die because you can't afford it, then does the risk really matter?

More likely is that this puppet will be used by bad actors to advance their agendas and as usual he'll distract everybody from the actual bad shit happening.

You could always don a stage persona like Marshmello or Daft Punk. Then nobody cares what you look like under the mask.

This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.

Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It's the only way this gets better.

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn't acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.
