Is there documentation of that somewhere?

The US when Israel openly does bad stuff: "We've done nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

Yeah, I kind of wish there was another word for the idea, because it's a bit confusing. I think originally it was "in reaction to progress".

Big and small c conservative is sometimes used to make the distinction in commentary, with big C being the reactionary stances that are common in right-wing parties that call themselves "Conservative", but I don't think everyone gets that either.

How many adjustments does it take before it's new content. If the answer is a lot, are humans ever original either?

I really, really hope AfD gets banned. Germany has strong anti-hate protections, but enforcement on small groups is avoided because they're too small and not worth the trouble/attention, and enforcement on large groups is avoided because they're too large and powerful, so it's barely useful.

Canada often does the same thing.

Technically, but I think I and a lot of other readers thought it was talking about original content from AIs, as opposed to translated.

I have noticed those sites with answers to commonly searched questions, which look very convincing and have AI generated "authors" as well as a topic-specific URL, but then sometimes lose the plot of the question half way through. I almost fall for them, and I'm a crusty internet person, so I can only imagine how many people are just totally swallowing the info.

Social science is often slippery like that. This is still pretty suggestive, though.

No. That is not an a known issue with anarchism, for example.

Antivirals only prevent replication, too. Virus capsids don't respire and have to be physically destroyed to neutralise them. Which is hard when you're trying to keep the delicate organ around them alive. Maybe you could use magical nanobots, but then why do you need an animal organ anyway?

The actual research is more centered around stopping it from happening in the first place, and then screening for any contamination. The critters might be raised in completely sterile conditions, and have already been genetically modified to remove any included ancient viral sequences in published work. Of course, all the producers have to actually follow the regimen everywhere in the world...

"Reactionary" specifically means trying to go back to a (often imagined) previous state.

reactionary <-> conservative <-> progressive

Ooh, a new cynical one-liner. I'm unironically excited about this.
