I don't think this is true. Words and phrases from specific sub-cultures filter across to the broader culture all the time.
Example: bling, hater, player, stan, flex all had origins in Black hip-hop culture but now are used generally at least in the U.S.
This is not true. It is needless negative hyperbole that IMHO doesn't belong on HN.
This is sort of like discounting putting humans in space because only a few nations have the means to actually do it at the moment.
>> What happens when politicians can no longer lie without being caught out live on air?
A 5-second delay on a politician's presser. Any lies will be muted in real time and the actual facts presented onscreen. Continue to lie enough, and the politician gets unstreamed.
Really? Do better.
