Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson I think you missed the point, simply because something goes unmoderated doesn't mean it's open to moderation. Actual free speech would always be free from the threat of moderation.
My point is that no one can stop free speech from getting out there. If it doesn't get out in one place, it will get out in another. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson It's not free speech in that instance, it doesn't qualify as "free speech" simple because some twat posts "tits" on the comment section and it goes unmoderated, the fact is it open to moderation prevents it from being free speech.
Even if one site is moderated, not all are. -

Originally posted by aldra 'concentration camp' implies a racial policy, race is mostly just incidental in this case - their camp enrolment is based on their offence (illegal immigration) and the area where they were caught, racial/ethnic concentration is incidental
True. If they were white illegal border crossers, they be in the same boat as these are. But radical leftists have to play the race card, because that's all they really have that does anything to further their own personal agendas. -

Originally posted by HTS I mean they are concentration camps. They aren't extermination camps like the Nazis had, but the Nazis operated regular concentration camps too. The US did as well (they just call them internment camps because they like distancing themselves from the Nazi imagery that "concentration camp" evokes). I have seen some people claiming it counts as fucking genocide though, which is pretty goddamn crazy.
Well, then we'd have to call every single prison in America concentration camps, too. -
2019-07-26 at 12:25 PM UTC in When is the press going to start being held accountable for how it affects society?I'd say even on "privately owned" (the Internet is really an open public platform and selling it, buying it, leasing it or renting it is actually illegal) websites, there's no practical way the "owner" can stop free speech from appearing on it. Sure, there are methods one can use to attempt to prevent undesired speech, but none are foolproof.

Originally posted by Japan-Is-Eternal There is no free speech anymore.
Try making an article on a widely popular website about the JQ and see how long it stays up
As long as it goes up, even momentarily, it's still spoken. Nobody can stop free speech. They can take it down, but they can't stop it from being put up. The fake and the true will always get out, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop that. -
2019-07-26 at 12:14 PM UTC in When is the press going to start being held accountable for how it affects society?The press, even the fake news press, represents free speech. There's nothing anyone can do about it, even if it's false. You're expected to take it all and research and decide for yourself what's true and what's fake. You aren't supposed to be relying on others to make your decisions for you or do your research for you. If they fool you, that's on you, not them.

No, I mean very clear, very precise parallels. Just as if someone had the past, the present, and the future, and then deliberately made it all come out like that, with set tracks laid all through. Just that alone can be scary as all hell, when you see it, when you discover those tracks, to know someone out there, some all-powerful alien being, has everything from beginning to end, and wants to prove it, too. -
2019-07-26 at 11:50 AM UTC in Reddit has decided that ICE detention centers are concentration campsJohn McCain murdered 134 of his own men and seriously injured another 161 on the USS Forrestal when the idiot intentionally ignited cold fuel he himself ejected from the rear of his own jet engine as a "joke", which accidentally heated and dislodged a Zuni rocket on the jet behind him, which created a cascade of explosions which rolled across the deck. As the fires burned, he jumped down from his jet and ran off deck and hid under a staircase inside, while his buddies died and burned beyond recognition trying to save others, only emerging after the main danger of more explosions had passed. Some hero was John McCain. The coward of the century. The disgrace to America. The clown. The failure for the ages, who should have been convicted and sentenced to death decades ago. He was even ordered to knowingly drop bombs on Vietcong schools and hospitals, and he complied, not once, but many times, by his own admission. He's murdered thousands of innocent civilians. Treason, mass murder, terrorist, there was more than a mountain of direct evidence to convict him on. But he got a slide, because his Daddy was an Admiral, and so was his Grand Daddy. All these treasonous scum stick together, don't you know.

2019-07-26 at 11:18 AM UTC in Reddit has decided that ICE detention centers are concentration campsAnd John "Songbird" McCain was a proven traitor, who sang like a bird when he was captured by the VietCong, told them everything they wanted to know, gave up his own men and their positions, even went so far as to make anti-American propaganda videos for the enemy while he was in captivity. Went on Vietcong television several times and denounced America as butchers. Then when his Admiral Daddy got him out, he went straight to work blocking the families of American POWs left behind, out of fear the world would find out what kind of a traitor he really was. He was no hero. In fact, he was a treasonous piece of scum who should have been executed for treason way back then. Trump knows what he is, and so do people with an actual awareness of history.
Watch this... testimonials straight from the POWs themselves about your so-called hero, John McCain.

Originally posted by G4LM Exactly lol. If anything, this country belongs more to Mexicans than any person of European descent. At least MY ancestors came from the same continent. Not saying that it does belong more to Mexicans or anything, just pointing out how little this kind of shit makes sense. That whole "send her back" thing was absolutely disgusting, with people chanting and whatnot. That was COMPLETELY Nazi Germany-esque. Ilhan Omar has literally done more for this country and been here longer than Trump's immigrant wife who got citizenship on a fucking green card marriage.
Something similar happened to John McCain when he was running against Obama. I think they called him a Muslim or some shit, but he shut it right the fuck down and defended Obama as a good family man. It speaks a lot for his character. This whole thing goes so far beyond the political dichotomy in this country. I absolutely hate that people like Trump and his base try to spin this as a political thing when the racism is so blatant.
Regardless, I have high hopes for this country. I don't think we are as racist as our president, for the most part. Only 26% of the voting age population actually voted for Trump. How many of those do you think were just hard party liners? Quite a bit, I think. It has long been known that this country is far more liberal than the people who lead it. That is why Republicans depend on the electoral college to win elections, and thus refuse to abolish it, and even enact policies to suppress democratic voters from voting. Such as that voter ID law that was ruled unconstitutional in Texas a few years ago.
Only country in the world that has an electoral college, btw. Every other democratic country, EVERY SINGLE ONE, runs on a direct democracy to elect its representatives. The situation in this country is such a multi-faceted mess that seems impossible to fix. I often switch between this feeling of hopelessness and downright anger. There's really nothing we can do to fix it other than support and vote for anti-establishment politicians who HOPEFULLY will fix at least some of the plaguing issues that are stopping America from actually being 'great again.'
Just goes to show how truly ignorant you liberals really are. All you can do is spout lies. For one thing, you have obviously no education whatsoever in regard to the history of the country. Secondly, the Fab4 have been defaming and insulting and threatening America with ingratitude and third-world demands since they got there, after fleeing shitholes they created and then abandoned. Trump was merely being reasonable and correct: if they hate America so much, which they insist they do, they can just fuck off back to the shitholes they created and abandoned. The majority agrees with Trump in that regard. It's not racist to tell some self-professed traitors to get the fuck out of the country if they want to hurt it. They weren't invited in to threaten and demean America. Thirdly, the reason there is an electoral college is to create equal representation across the country - perfectly logical and fair. Also, Hillary had a perfectly equal chance of winning the electoral college, she just didn't, simply because she was a really shitty candidate.
