Wasn't for sure to post this in /f/news or /f/clownworld . I always thought the "we want reparations for something none of us has ever experienced" thing was sort of a meme, but here we are.

I'm not sure how you'd even determine who would qualify. In America, many (the majority, I believe) of African Americans immigrated after the civil war.

Every article is so dumb that I find it hard to believe it's real, but I'm not sure either.

Advertising itself as a centrist news source isn't something I can get mad about. I don't care what it calls itself. The problem isn't that it's a liberal site either. I'm conservative but I have sympathies for some liberal views. The problem is that this is a certain type of liberal that doesn't care about truth at all and only cares about power. If some race is getting credit for something another race did and you have evidence of that, there's nothing wrong with pointing it out. But how much do you have to hate straight white men to take an admired historical figure and say he was a black lesbian with no proof?

Some colleges have told students that they need to get vaccinated by this fall, but others are saying that they won't and don't think they are legally allowed since the FDA has not given full approval for any of the vaccines. They only granted emergency use authorization. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/us-colleges-divided-requiring-student-vaccinations-77016006

It will take longer to get full FDA approval for children getting the vaccine because those studies started later https://www.10news.com/news/coronavirus/in-depth-how-full-fda-approval-would-impact-vaccine-mandates-competition

If they are required before they are approved, that's one way covid vaccine requirements could be different than the existing requirements in many school.

I assume most vaccines (flu, measles, etc) are pretty safe, though I haven't really researched it. But I can see a strong possibility of society getting very dystopian over the next 50 years or so. I see further merging of corporate and government power plus increased interest by governments in genetic modification of citizens. According to John Ratcliffe, China is already attempting to develop genetically modified super-soldiers. Publicly, the US might just create augmented soldiers using other technologies like cyborg tech and exoskeletons, at least at first... But I don't think they would just let China race ahead when it comes to genetically enhancing humans (including enhancements like "obedience to authority"). Covertly or not, they'd want to do similar experiments.

Gene therapy is something that can be done by injections today. I think now is probably a good time to push back on the idea that an injection can be required in order to do normal things like go to school. Any freedom is hard to get back once it is given away and I expect that to become even more true in the future.
