Just a dilettante amateur political science bird who lives in the US Pacific Northwest. If you want to know what I think, try my blogs at adviceunasked.blogspot.com and shinycroak.blogspot.com. I’ve also been known to write about science fiction, computing, and design.
My sympathies.
I suspect the package you received may not actually be from the shipper you ordered from—check the shipping numbers. That sounds like a "brushing" scam. If shipping numbers line up, report the seller.

“Soon enough, trees everywhere were showing blotchy, mottled, yellowed leaves and suffering from twig dieback and sparse foliage.
Under duress, the trees would drop all their fruit on the ground prematurely.
What rare fruit survived to maturity on these little, addled trees was misshapen, acrid, and stubbornly green on one end; in short, it tasted terrible.
The juice was gross.”

Andrew (Television Executive)The end result of that is a bunch of people popping in to conversations about Age Verification laws to talk about separate and legitimately important issues as if those issues and Age Verification laws are the same thing.
And some of those people might be paid PR Sockpuppets, but some of them are definitely real people who really care about the harm social media might have on children.
And so we spend so much time talking about the nuance and potential solutions to this much more complicated problem that the real issue (these proposed Age Verification Laws are actually tools of fascist surveillance and control which will be used to suppress dissent and harm marginalized communities) gets lost.

It is eerie the way my remarks on Chinese slavery just seem to fall into the void, and it is not only China. I think we need a new abolitionist movement. I focus on slavery in China because has the potential to harm human rights globally, by making global energy systems dependent on slave labor. For all their horrors, other slave systems do not do that.
