Originally posted by aldra yeah, I don't know who originally said it but socially, US conservatives are pretty much just Democrats 10-15 years ago.
they should be banned from using the name because they're not really 'conserving' anything
Robert Lewis Dabney? Moldbug was fond of this quote of his:It may be inferred again that the present movement for women’s rights will certainly prevail from the history of its only opponent, Northern conservatism. This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution, to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance. The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip. No doubt, after a few years, when women’s suffrage shall have become an accomplished fact, conservatism will tacitly admit it into its creed, and thenceforward plume itself upon its wise firmness in opposing with similar weapons the extreme of baby suffrage; and when that too shall have been won, it will be heard declaring that the integrity of the American Constitution requires at least the refusal of suffrage to donkeys. There it will assume, with great dignity, its final position.

2021-01-11 at 5:37 AM UTC in imagine if your phone became a brickif any liberals here are in their 30s and make it to their 60s, they are going to become conservatives. They'll feel shocked and betrayed that the democrat party now supports, idk pedophilia or dog sex. And the republic party will be saying stuff like "now dog sex is all very well and american, it's just raping puppies I object to" and the usual crowd will claim they are fascists for even suggesting a dickgirl should not have the right to rape a 5 week old poodle.

Originally posted by aldra you should be worried that a cartel is able to entirely deplatform a sitting president.
try to imagine where that path leads.
TBH I am just worried that it's the wrong cartel and the wrong president.
If we did it to them I would be masturbating and gloating furiously. Not giving off platitudes with a hypocritical smile like that picture in Dorian Grays attic. -

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.
This pre-supposes that big tech companies are independent from the government, rather than forming a key pillar of it. -

Originally posted by aldra 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
The CIAs involvement in Chile is really overblown, the idea that he was a CIA puppet is largely a left wing meme. Allende was far more under the influence of the KGB than Pinochet was under the CIA. -

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
Hey after you're done teaching Technologist critical thinking I have this pack of wild dogs I want to teach ballet, we're going to tour across the world performing classics like "The Nutcracker". -

2021-01-11 at 12:08 AM UTC in the state of redditI just de-activated one of my accounts. The one where I tried to talk about anything at all social political.
These people don't need dialogue, they need decimation.
I will keep my other account which is dedicated to what I call "liberal farming" - ie getting them to solve business and technical problems for me for free (many liberals are quite skilled and talented). -

It's not like you lost any items so idk what your problem is.
I care far more about builds getting blown up than items being lost.
All I know is that Luigi and I never grief anything. All the rest of you are fucking suspect. -

Originally posted by Meikai Gab has immunized themselves better than most, but Amazon cut off Parler today. I admit I ain't really got a clue about "how this shit works", but maybe you can explain why you feel the way you do? I mean you seem to recognize the inevitability of Gab being shutdown, and to remain operational for as long as they have they had to do all this shit:
Hell, even Gab themselves recognize the extent to what I'm saying is true:
Tongue definitely meets cheek somewhere around the last line, if not exactly there, but the point remains that I'm not just being a doomer about this. I may have indulged in a bit of hyperbole, but less than you're implying. 🤷♀️
Gabs response is a huge positive step, because they have done so much and shown you can just build your own shit.
You also need to keep things in perspective. A few private companies, like AWS, Twitter and Facebook have denied people service.
The great thing about private corporation censorship compared with government censorship is that you can just side step it. The internet would be a better place without those companies, anyway.
TL;DR - None of the attempts to silence people have really worked. Alternatives exist, and it's up to us to use them. If the Eastern Bloc couldn't stop the spread of dissent pre-internet, there's no way the western world can in 2021. -
