Ah, yes, Lenin. Definitely the creator of Marxism-Leninism, no reason to talk about the other guy. Don't look up anything about Stalin, he's harder for tankies to whitewash, not that they won't fall ass over teakettle trying. It's their job after all.

It's an important factor to consider when thinking about the credibility of his claims. That's what journalism is supposed to do, give people the facts. I get that discussing people's medical history and psychological condition is a sensitive subject, but when someone's making public claims and accusations in front of congress about delusional stuff like "non-human spacecraft" and their dead pilots that level of scrutiny is justified.

Call me cynical, but I have to wonder if this is just a justification for more extensive US military involvement in post-assad Syria.

'Alt' is Gen Z's alternative youth subculture, like Emo for millenials, goth/ punk for Gen X, etc.

If you had a billion dollars there would be more effective ways to address the courts lol. That being said, no one with that much money ever would.

Worker protection regulations, as enforced by OSHA in the US, are also a target for deregulation by the right.

I think it's mostly just content theft. On the audience end, viewers who aren't immediately put off by the reactor and are too lazy to find the original might just watch it. On the reuploader end, there's basically no effort involved and it can make them some money. Laziness is nothing new.
