At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

    But it’s the job of the citizenry to stand up to this stuff, not the state.

    So what’s the state for?

        Nah. Our state should do more and better things than that.

        I like having a space program, for example. And education for all

                There are many schools of thought on what a government is for or should do and most people do not ascribe to the notions you are presenting as fact.

                    It doesn’t matter what you think. Governments are expected and set up to do much more than that around the world and that’s because that’s what their intents are. It’s not just those three things. If what you said was true, we’d have had no meaningful progress on anything.

        This doesn’t define what a properly constituted government is though. Any government can prevent other worse governments from forming, all they need to do is massacre their citizens and there will be nobody left to form a government.
