Enjoy the Control

YouTube star uploads video about her disciplining her dog. That is not a problem. But the reason for it is that the dog expresses love to her. In my opinion that shows a sick soul. Then the dog forgives and shows love again. The owner should be grateful for such a loving dog. But she punishes the dog again. And then again. She stands in front of the dog, knowing the dog is in playful mood, then acts as she was talking to a human, knowing that her opening her arms will be interpreted by the dog as invitation to jump. She knows the dog will jump on her, as an act of play. She still uses it as an excuse to punish.

She seemingly loves dishing out discipline. I hope she will not have children. Imagine all those opportunities to discipline. Even without her children inheriting her emotional traits.

Or an officer. This is one good reason why using police [the sate] is dangerous. Most people love power, but some will even seek and falsely fabricate opportunities to exercise it even just to feel the power, not only cruelly against innocent unknown people, but even against those who love them and are totally loyal to them. In the past the victims of such police officers went to jail for assault. And there were a lot of such cases, even in democratic countries. Nowadays the situation is somewhat better, but even with body cameras on we see a lot of cases the officer could not resist his|her urge to escalate the situation.

Travel Warning against USA because of guns

Amnesty International issued a travel warning against going into the USA. With the form of real, serious travel warnings, with 3 big exclamation marks. No sign of any statement of it being a joke. They are serious. They say that it is dangerous to be in the USA because of "high level of gun violence".

I quote from the text : "have an emergency contingency plan" [despite they obviously do not help at all against isolated cases of gun violence], "be extra vigilant at all times" [one can not be extra vigilent at all times even in war-zones], "avoid places where large number of people gather" [those stupid locals gather only because they are not well informed about the threat level], "Excercise increased caution when visiting local bars, nightclubs, and casinos." [how will caution save anybody from gun violence? how can one enjoy these places [that are meant built to be enjoyed] if increased caution is necessary visiting them?]

They portray the USA as if it was more dangerous than the front line in the second world war. Which is obviously false. Not only is USA not a war-zone, but gun violence is not even a particularly big danger : even suicide is a statistically more probably cause of death than gun homocide.

They say that the threat is discriminating according to gender identity, country of origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation and that travellers should study the particular threat level of their groups before travelling into the USA.

About 1/4 part of the text is pure politics, which does not give any rational information, but just is demagogue - in a text that is said to be a travel warning. In case if you still had any naive throught about the goal of this text from them.

With this behavior AI downplays not only its seriousness, but also the seriousness of travel warnings generally, causing people to underestimate real dangers and thus possibly causing even their death - just to give one more hard punch to gun-allowing politics.

Other articles from them also contain in my opinion lots of lying, bias and demagogy. For example they say that the gun violence in the USA is a crysis, that gun violence victims suffer because politicians ignore their needs and politicians do not want to save lifes.
