2020-10-17 at 1:09 PM UTCI was discussing this with Soy the other day actually. Neither of us watch fox news. I don't read any news more conserative than the telegraph or national review. Most alt-right news strikes me as a giant circlejerk. I'm far right independent of media, ie much less indoctrinated than the coalition of liberal NIS faggots who have all diagnosed me with sluggish schizophrenia.

There are easier ways of admitting you're a retard. Anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron. You can't be an anarchist and support hierarchical power structures, man.

They can still bury news they don't like.
This just shows how wrong the "companies only care about making money" line is.

Except that I believe in permanent revolution. -

2020-10-17 at 1:42 PM UTCDonald Trump says he might leave US if he loses to Joe Biden:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/trump-biden-white-house-leave-2020-election-defeat-polls-b1088574.html
Basically an admission he knows he's going to get arrested before he can flee.
Trump may end up at Rikers Island by the end of 2023 if he loses re-election:
https://news.yahoo.com/trump-may-end-rikers-island-164420425.html?guccounter=1More than a dozen investigations are already under way against Trump and his associates, so his potential legal exposure is "breathtaking."
"If Biden is sworn in as president in January, his attorney general will inherit a mountain of criminal evidence against Trump accumulated by Mueller and a host of inspectors general and congressional oversight committees. After the DOJ's incoming leadership is briefed on any sensitive matters contained in the evidence, federal prosecutors will move forward with their investigations of Trump."
His former attorney Michael Cohen and longtime accountant Allen Weisselberg have already signaled they're willing to cooperate with prosecutors and both would have strong evidence to prove Trump's intent.
Once indicted, Trump would be arraigned at New York Criminal Court. -

By being elected, Trump disrupted and set back the plans and grand schemes of the ruling elite by 4 years at a minimum. Even if he gets reelected, he'd basically have to repeal term limits and completely consolidate power (and not get justifiably assassinated for doing so) to avoid the impending buttfucking they have in store for him.
He was always going to jail. Trump is a martyr. A saint.

On Wednesday, the New York Post released what they claimed was “smoking gun” evidence of corruption involving Hunter Biden, troubled son of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
The “blockbuster” had a controversial provenance. A computer repair shop in Delaware reportedly came to possess a laptop belonging to the younger Biden. According to the Post, it contained a treasure trove of Republican oppo, including videos of the younger Biden smoking crack and having sex, and emails from a Ukrainian businessman pleading with Hunter to use connections to help the corrupt energy firm Burisma escape a shakedown.
Later, the Burisma exec appeared to thank the younger Biden for an introduction to his father. The Post strongly suggested that these emails, in conjunction with the well-known tale of Joe Biden demanding the ouster of then-General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, represented a misuse of influence.
Soon after the story was published, we were hit with a stunner: two major tech platforms, Twitter and Facebook, took third-world style steps to limit the distribution of the story. Facebook announced that it was slowing the article’s spread on its news feed via a tweet from Andy Stone, a Facebook employee whose previous jobs included handling communications for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and for Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer
While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.

Twitter’s response was more extreme. It allowed the story to reach #3 on its list of Trending topics before blocking it as “potentially unsafe,” preventing anyone, even the author of the piece, from sharing it. It then took the extraordinary step of locking the account of the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McInany, explaining in a series of tweets that the story had been halted for several reasons, including on the grounds that the materials had been hacked.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey seemed torn about his company’s decision:
jack
@jack
Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable.
Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety
We want to provide much needed clarity around the actions we’ve taken with respect to two NY Post articles that were first Tweeted this morning.

A day later, facing intense public pressure and threats of Senate inquiry, the company relented and said it would change its policy. Twitter’s legal chief, the New York Times said, was worried that the firm “could end up blocking content from journalists,” implying that it hadn’t already done just that. The company said it would henceforth allow similar content to be shared, affixed to a label about the source of the information.
The intervention by the two platforms resulted in a predictable Streisand effect, in which an effort to censor results instead in increased attention. Conservatives lost their minds; Ted Cruz described the platforms’ actions as “actively interfering in an election”; The Hill called it a “Declaration of War”; Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn used the word “despicable”:
Sen. Marsha Blackburn
@MarshaBlackburn
Despicable behavior from Twitter locking @kayleighmcenany’s account. This is the real election interference.

The near-universal reaction among mainstream press outlets, meanwhile, was to denounce the Post story as dangerous, and probably foreign, misinformation. The expose “rings all the foreign-disinformation alarms in the book,” said Axios. “[Rudy Giuliani] and the New York Post Are Pushing Russian Disinformation,” sneered Mother Jones, the publication which introduced the raunchiest parts of the unverified Steele Dossier to the American public. “B.S. Ukraine Smear,” chirped Salon.
