Not to mention they forgot the leaders of those African countries who make deals that give them personal wealth at the expense of their people.

In some cases 1st world countries have installed those leaders, but that’s not really that common.

And the citizens can’t overthrow them their selves, and the other countries who are benefitting have no incentive to “spread democracy” even if they actually mean it this time.

And he wasnt convicted, but was going to. The state had a “medical expert” show up and testify that there was no way an adult woman could look like that. Just 100% sure of himself and smug as fuck about it.

Then the defense called the pornstar to the stand and she was in her late 20s or something and working in the industry for over a decade.

It was something that never should have made it to trial, and gets used a lot as an example for how shit expert testimony can be. The prosecution doesn’t try to find the person who knows the most, they find whoever can do the best job of convincing a jury that the prosecution is right. So the people who do it (some are professional “expert witnesses”) are just the most overconfident people. Even if they’re not sure, they play it up that there can’t be any doubt.

It’s going to be mostly bots voting against each other

There was a couple instances I just didn’t want to see and blocking them by community was like whack a mole
