Originally posted by G Freedom of Speech is about citizens not being silenced by government. It has absolutely nothing to do with private businesses enforcing the Terms of Use that everyone agrees to when joining a site.
https://niggasin.space/thread/62830?p=1#post-1274873These handful of companies enjoy a near-monopoly on communication, largely due to government interference in the market. In terms of the first amendment, this makes them the equivalent of the 'town square' where freedom of speech applies in the same sense that freedom of speech still applies if a company buys up all the public areas of a town.
The fact that the government has not only funded them through outfits like Al'phabet but selectively applied the law to their cartel to their benefit, (specifically - protections relating to the distinction between publisher and platform) makes it super hilarious that they're using their 'untouchable' position to undermine their elected president.
Not only is Trump being blacklisted or banned on major social media platforms and services hosted by the few major tech companies, they're actively colluding to deplatform him from anywhere outside of their control, as evidenced by both Google and Apple removing Parler's app on the basis that they won't moderate wrongthink. Ironically enough, since they officially claim to be platforms, they are legally required to only censor blatantly illegal content and are doing the wrong thing by censoring opinions that aren't direct calls to action. -

Originally posted by Sudo What? HALF of US citizens don't believe the election was illegitimate. This is something I found on the subject and over 60% still seems pretty low. This was in December too when emotions were higher

section 27
40% of people surveyed indicate that voter fraud was serious enough to affect the outcome of the election, 35% believed voter fraud was serious but not enough to affect the outcome.
even 59% of Biden/Democrat voters acknowledged serious voter fraud, though not enough to affect the outcome. -

Originally posted by Sudo Trump was stupid AF to pull out of Afghanistan too, Afghanistan is where the US can hang out, build infrastructure with cushy domestic contracts and have a "generation kill" program to keep its COD playing soldiers battle ready for whenever shit pops off. Instead they have failed dialogue with the locals because they didn't care to learn and understand the nuances of the region, then tried to train a whole new army based on American principles. This is just one of the failed strategies. They need to keep it going to have a forward operating base against Iran too. Fuck is Trump ever stupid. No one who voted for him knows anything about foreign policy or they wouldn't have voted for him. Sorry just can't get over it.
He's the first president since who, Carter? who hasn't started a war, so he's still the less-worse option in terms of foreign policy.
Maybe if Afghanistan was handled differently from early on we wouldn't be in this mess, but there's no solution to be had there now. Pulling out is the pragmatic option, and even though Trump tried he got cockblocked hard by the joint chiefs so it was more of a reshuffle than a withdrawal. -

Originally posted by Technologist Didn’t address it since even you said you weren’t sure if it’s credible.
no need, I was just adding that AOC reported she saw someone on the security cameras taking 'all her shoes' (why would she have multiple pairs at work anyway), amusingly probably for jerking off purposes -

Originally posted by Sudo Biden obviously will not do anything right away at this moment, there is too much to figure out again and damage to undo first. Definitely won't happen anytime soon, if at all, without a good reason
Large portions of the country will be federally ungovernable; even if they don't directly rebel around HALF of US citizens believe the election was illegitimate. If this (foreign war) is the course of action they decide on it will happen fast.
Keep in mind that Biden himself isn't so much a leader as he is a cloak of legitimacy; the people that have been making the decisions have been doing so for a long time and getting rid of Trump just gives them a free hand -
2021-01-11 at 2:41 AM UTC in What are the chances of Biden starting a major war immediately after taking office?yeah I don't know about that in detail
was just pointing out that they'd already tried and failed to bring Venezuela 'under control', and while they may still be able to do it it'd require a much larger and riskier commitment. Open war is an option given the US' massive military superiority but the leftists on the ground are popular and imposing a new government at gunpoint is not going to change their minds, plus the conflict would rapidly turn into a testing ground for newish Russian and Chinese weapons right near the US border -

Originally posted by Sudo Why can't they enforce the Monroe Doctrine in Venezuela again? Partisan and ideological conflict domestically can be remedied by rebuilding institutions and faith in government that his predecessors (including himself) eroded.
they already failed hard with the retarded Guano gambit and haven't even been able to stop their oil trade with China and Iran. without a full-scale war using the military (which is dangerous for all sorts of other reasons), the US simply doesn't have the juice they did in South America that they did back in the Pinochet days -

Originally posted by Technologist Umm, if you say so. I need no help understanding that I agree with their terminology. They’re not hurting me, not taking my freedoms, not changing my life, so I don’t care. I do as i please. If they say something I don’t believe, I just plum don’t believe it. You seem to be inferring that I’m a weak human, that’s ok; I know me, that’s all that matters😁

Daddy's going to keep coming home drunk and and telling you retarded stories about what goes on in the world and you're going to keep refusing to investigate to see if he's actually telling the truth -
2021-01-11 at 2:13 AM UTC in What are the chances of Biden starting a major war immediately after taking office?A common enemy would be the most effective way to subdue the current partisan and ideological conflict, but the US has just about run out of countries it can safely attack.

Originally posted by Technologist Not blurring lines. She doesn’t have to do shit, she was there. You know how that works, don’t cha?
yeah, guilt by association
Originally posted by Technologist The protesters are protesters, and the rioters are rioters. You could also “blur the line” and say they’re domestic terrorists, but that is not how my country sees it. Only racists who live on an alternate reality see it as terrorism.
can you even comprehend how much more damage the BLM riots did than this retard rodeo? -
2021-01-11 at 1:45 AM UTC in Rioters vs Peaceful Protestors - Another lesson in progressive englishI assume you're talking about the woman that was shot
she wasn't violent; at worst she (personally) was trespassing.
though, if you're going to blur the lines and include 'intimidation' as part of the definition, do you also classify the BLM/etc. riots as terrorism? There were multiple statements from Democrat politicians talking about how intimidation was the GOAL. -
