You made my point.

Neoliberalism (of the Milton Friedman kind) hasn't taken over the world. It gained traction in the mid 70's, peaked in the 00's and is now, thankfully, slipping back from its extreme heights.

Slipping back to what - the horrors of statism that we saw in the 20th century?

He didn't take anything apart. He's just another leftist that has a hard time comprehending that some people have differently ideological views that his own.

So this annoyingly helps sustain the myth that North America was an unpopulated forest until being 'settled' by 'settlers'.

Who believes in this myth?

Yeah, you people that think this censorship is a good idea think they are reasonable people.

Obviously this is a censorship move by the EU, but they had to sell it somehow. So they framed as a "we're protecting your privacy from evil corporations". Not surprising though, considering a pretty horrible track record for free speech in most of Western Europe.

He wants the practice to not be allowed, not the article.

My point is just because he's not single and not the target market, he shouldn't be asking for a ban on a dating scheme.

I'm single and find the whole idea of "flying in women to meet geeks" to be a bit strange, but this idea that it should be banned is ludicrous.

There's too much "I don't like this" or "I don't understand this" so let's have some entity ban it.

I have nothing to do with whatever these people are doing.

Really? It makes me a little sad when people that "aren't single and aren't the target market" think that things should be banned.

Society is really becoming very intolerant because people don't conform to their little bubbles.
