Seeing the gulf between the responses to yesterday's riot and this summer's peaceful protests and the larger movement for racial justice is so painful. It hurts.
Calling these people evil is too fucking generous.
They burned down police stations, hollowed out Kenosha, besieged several federal court houses, engaged in major race rioting across the country, attacked people just eating food and minding their own business, shot an 8 year old girl to death, killed 30 others, and claimed that anyone protesting the lockdowns were the real terrorists while actively funding the race riots and keeping them out of jail.
Then on January 6th a bunch of boomers held a flag parade on the Capitol steps.
To say I hate these people is to understate my fucking loathing.
No matter how much you hate the media, it's not enough.
Also notice that they frame their own rioting and looting as 'protests for racial justice', while framing a protest for election integrity as an INSURRECTION!!!11
He was actually permanently suspended for calling his rally-goers "American Patriots", and for saying he wouldn't attend the inauguration. They claimed that saying he wouldn't go to the inauguration was a call to violence.
I missed Taibi's part 3 posts after 26. I think he might have deleted some of his own tweets.
I noticed the specific case where Twitter explicitly states that they refuse to take satire or jokes into account. Having known that Reddit has done this for years, it feels like a bit of personal vindication for me, knowing that I have to knowingly remove obvious jokes because they refuse to tolerate satire.
Then all of the sudden when the former fucking AG straight up says that SCOTUS attacked the USPS to deny people their civil rights, that's entirely factually accurate?
It's hard to fucking tell if they are so fucking delusional that they think they are being perfectly objective, or they are just lying to themselves.
Look at these conversations though. Their lies to the public are only the top layer "oh we're not doing that". The rest of these conversations are just them back-rationalizing their own biases and false presuppositions. Tim Pool's interview with Vajaya? (Vagina Janny?)... "the idiot" showed that they did not perceive that "misgendering" was an inherently biased political position. They did not perceive that misgendering isn't reliant on self-identification. She literally didn't know that conservatives considered calling "Elliot Page" misgendering, because they were recognizing Ellen's actual sex.
All of that is based on the same logic. This is what actual systemic bias looks like. Each person, at every single level, is entirely biased by their own ideological presuppositions that are entirely locked in place. It is only from that point, where they begin to make decisions and craft behaviors. Trump is a Nazi. There can be no deviations from that. It is an absolute axiomatic fact. It is a fundamental, mathematical, postulate of the universe that can not be denied. From that assumption, all other decisions can be made. But only from that assumption.
It's not that they don't know that Trump isn't a Nazi. They don't even live in a universe where a non-Nazi Trump could even exist at all. It is as fundamentally true as the Law of the Conservation of Energy. It is the Law of the Conservation of Bad in Orange Man.
It is only from that point, that they enact biased behaviors and lies.
We think they are lying about 100% of the shit they say. Instead they are lying to us about 10% of the shit they say, and the other 90% they can't not believe.
Precisely. This is why they cannot be reasoned with, why any attempt to do so is met with the fight or flight response. You see it in every interview with a leftist, hostile questioning or not, whether it's with a footsoldier or one of their intelligentsia.
They have Schroedinger's Brain where they simultaneously believe the exact literal interpretation of each individual word they see and don't believe a single thing about anything at all.
How can someone be a nihilistic zealot? How can they claim to believe in nothing, and believe undyingly in specific absolute moral truths, and still have a brain that holds together?
Their 'truth' is the revolution and everything that leads to it, contradictions be damned.
Treat what they say as pure duckspeak. No thought to it at all except as a 'true lie' that leads to the promised land, delivered with authority.
In the absence of objective truth, the propaganda that most suits the immediate end is correct. There is no coherence, only the party line, and a boot smashing a human face, forever.
If people don't go to jail over this the our time being a Republic is truly over. We've permanently descended into being a failed state run by a corrupt oligarchy.
No one's going to jail for this. At this point, the only victory can come from the Brotherhood of Nod slogan:
Peace through Power.
I hate that. I really hate that, but what choice do we have? Where is any negotiation possible? What compromise can be made? To each and every complaint, rule violation, theft, criminal violation, taboo violation, atrocity, and crime against humanity, the answer back is always: "Kill yourself". I'm literally at the point of smashing a model of the Enterprise D with a phaser rifle and screaming "THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER! THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!"
We can only have peace with these people when we fully depose them from power utterly. If they aren't homeless in a gutter somewhere, significantly more concerned about the reality of their own personal well-being, then they will keep attacking us based on ideological presuppositions. Those presuppositions have caused them to determine that our very existence is an immediate threat to life with justifies lethal force on sight. We are entirely outside of their moral framework within the enemy section of their friend-enemy distinction. We're not even human to them, it's why it's okay for them to literally recommend that we kill ourselves, that we have no capacity to use money in society, and that our children deserve to be raped for the crimes of their race and religion.
There's not going to be a compromise, and it's why secession will never work. Name one time partitioning from Communists didn't cause the Communists to invade. And don't use Poland, because that partitioning killed the entire USSR. That was a victory, not a partition.
We just have to win. We just have to seize power everywhere, and never compromise with any demand that is ever made by anyone on the left, under any circumstance. There are no other choices to be left with.
Now, to be clear, that doesn't mean violence. Violence is just not a strategy that can work either. All that does is justify further violent crackdowns. The only acceptable strategy is delegitimization of the civil institutions that they control, and civil disobedience.
What if a user dislikes Trump and objects to Twitter's censorship? The tweet still gets deleted. But since the intention is not to deny the election result, no punishing strike is applied.
This is a special kind of stupid.
Poster: posts Trump's tweet
Twitter: "Terrorist! Ban him, strike him, and shoot his dog!"
Poster: "Trump did a bad, and I don't like it!"
Twitter: "Counter-Revolutionary! Ban him, strike him, but leave the dog!"
Poster: "I think Twitter also did a bad!"
Twitter: "Subversive! Ban him, but don't strike him!"
My concern specifically surrounding the unarticulated logic of the decision by FB. That's the space that fills with the idea (conspiracy theory?) that all social media heads an internet moguls at every layers it around like kings casually deciding what people can and cannot see, and it's unhelpful to the internet ecosystem as a whole. Again this is IMHO.
Do you know what happens when you turn Twitter into a utility? It means Elon Musk never buys it, the Leftists literally never leave those jobs for the rest of their lives, and they become official regulators of speech.
Look at FTX. The Dems were setting FTX up to be the official CBDC exchange of the US. The leading advocate for regulating crypto currency was FTX themselves. When SBF pissed off a billionaire, that billionaire took it personally and blew up his company, exposing this creditors to the Ponzi Scheme that the whole thing was, and it has turned into the largest financial crime in human history. Do you know what the Dems are doing right now? Using this scandal as justification to regulate crypto currency using the very bill that FTX proposed that would enshrine them as the CBDC exchange for the US.
Regulation is not for you. Regulation exists to protect the oligarchs.
The only reason you have any accountability at all is because of the lack of regulation. When the elites fuck each other over, everyone else benefits. When the government makes a regulatory framework, only the elites benefit.
If you turn Twitter into a utility, you will have no control and no accountability. Just as you have no control or accountability over your water bill or electric bill. It's decided by a committee that is the deep state and is utterly unaccountable to any election.

Disagree completely. Even a Twitter literally run by the US government would be superior to what it is now. Any of their censorship that is not illegal would be struck down in court. Now they can have the FBI 'suggest' that Twitter censor stuff that is not actually illegal. They would not be able to do that then.
Regulation is not for you. Regulation exists to protect the oligarchs.
Regulation is a double-edged sword. It hurts as well as harms. And it definitely helps oligarchs against new entrants, because they can afford the red tape and lawyers. Not to mention regulatory capture. That said, 'no regulation' is also quite bad - as we saw in 2008 among other cases.
You're welcome to disagree and be utterly wrong. Just as government run healthcare is now openly murdering citizens and is utterly unaccountable, just as public security (police) are supportive and tolerant of jihadist child rape, just as public schools are also supportive of child rape, just the public credit score systems are being manipulated to regulate ideology, just as the FBI is a political enforcement agency, just as the power companies in my state have denied me the right to appeal my bill for 5 years, just as the water utility is permitted to charge me for every year I didn't use it, just as the USPS doesn't have tell me or reimburse me for lost packages, just as Twitter would be exactly the same as it was under Vijaya. And that's the point of the utility : to be utterly unaccountable.
Regulation is a double-edged sword.
The only good regulations are the ones written in human blood. I'm okay with the fire code's max capacity for rooms because those are apolitical regulations that were crafted after hundreds of people were killed. That's the only way good regulations work, and they only happen sometimes.
Regulatory capture is the base premise of all regulation.
That said, 'no regulation' is also quite bad - as we saw in 2008 among other cases.
The 2008 crash was strictly regulated to happen as the government pushed and incentivized those loans to be made. The government itself, monopolizing the credit review system, falsified the evidence on how trusworthy the Mortgage Backed Securities were, despite the shorts actively calling it out in the first place. Then, of course, the government regulators made sure to protect the banks from being held accountable, and guaranteed their executives raises in the bail outs.
My favorite is how Universal Healthcare is strictly regulated so that doctors can be protected from their terrorist patients who aren't vaccinated.
And why do we need to regulate carbon emissions? Because we are the carbon emissions that need to be reduced.
And that's the point of the utility : to be utterly unaccountable.
It's demonstrably false though. Let's take your example, public schools. They have to allow free speech, even if they don't like it. Whatever else is wrong with that, this isn't it. And the same will be true for Twitter.
The 2008 crash was strictly regulated to happen as the government pushed and incentivized those loans to be made.
In part. And in part, it was because regulations on how much banks could put into risky investments were relaxed or abolished.
My favorite is how Universal Healthcare is strictly regulated so that doctors can be protected from their terrorist patients who aren't vaccinated.
At the moment, is it countries with universal healthcare that have the more healthy attitude towards the Covid vaccines, or the US? I see people being denied organ transplants for not being vaccinated there.

Fucking lol. Not only is free speech dangerous in Universities, I'll give you a better apolitical example from my highschool.
They fucking doubled the parking lot fees. The student government complained that this was too severe of a raise. They told the student government to go fucking pound sand. The student government then began actively complaining and getting vociferous about it. They got told to eat shit. Then the student government decided to hold off-site protests. The school told them that they were going to cut 50% of the funding to the student government. Then the student government said they would protest in the gym, during school lunch (which students were normally allowed to go to), because the conduct of the school was now getting properly out of control.
That day, the principle made an announcement just before the allotted time. Anyone going to the gym at that time would be arrested by the police and expelled. The teachers physically barred people from entering the gym, standing in front of the door ways in a long line, along with 3-5 police officers in full duty gear, including open-carrying firearms. The student government president and the principle quietly glared at each other with some pretty serious hostility.
That was on Tuesday. On Friday there was a pep rally. At the pep rally, the Vice Principle announced that the Student Government had been dissolved, the student government charter had been revoked and re-written, and there would be new elections. It is probably the most obstinate and bald-faced display of power I've probably ever seen in the US.
Literally: "I love democracy".
Then, there was a time I may have accidentally caused a wave of nationalist sentiment in my highschool's fake olympics. Again, similar results: national flags and displays were banned and physically removed from the school (except for the American flag that was already posted in some classrooms). Several people were given detention.
It was fake nationalism. I just wanted to make Aruba proud.
Highschools are prisons. Students don't have free speech, and they don't have rights, unless you've got an attorney present. And even then, be prepared to have the police arrest you. I know what SCOTUS said back in the 70's about protesting the Vietnam War, but that was the Left supporting Leftism. Political dissent is not tolerated in public school. Check that: dissent is not tolerated in public school.
And in part, it was because regulations on how much banks could put into risky investments were relaxed or abolished.
Yes, because the government wanted the over investment in the first place to create more Diverse first time homebuyers. That was a regulatory incentive.
At the moment, is it countries with universal healthcare that have the more healthy attitude towards the Covid vaccines, or the US? I see people being denied organ transplants for not being vaccinated there.
I just got Covid and nobody even asked me anything.
Fucking lol. Not only is free speech dangerous in Universities,
And yet they lose all court cases. Imagine a world in which they would not only censor, but the censorship would also be upheld in court.
I'll give you a better apolitical example from my highschool.

If they could unilaterally do that, there's the problem. Although I am pretty sure that they could not legally bar the gym with the intent to stop a protest.

And yet if it gets to the Supreme Court, I can guarantee you that it will be at least 7-2, possibly 9-0.

This was done by the Republicans and Clinton in the 1990s. I don't think it had anything to do with homeowners per se.
And yet they lose all court cases. Imagine a world in which they would not only censor, but the censorship would also be upheld in court.
Yes, in 5 years, the court will say that you shouldn't be expelled. That's the problem here. There is no justice, even when you are within the law. As such, it's not worth it to fight it most of the time. I get that Canada's worse, but the point is that a private school allows you to fucking leave and have competition.
If they could unilaterally do that, there's the problem. Although I am pretty sure that they could not legally bar the gym with the intent to stop a protest.
Of course they can't. It's completely unconstitutional. Now, who's gonna stop them? Nobody. That's the point. If these were private schools, parents could pull their kids out and go somewhere else, with the other schools finding ways to make the transition seemless. But because it's a public school, if the kids don't keep going to that school, the parents get fined or jailed.
And yet if it gets to the Supreme Court, I can guarantee you that it will be at least 7-2, possibly 9-0.
Yup, that's what happened with Biden's farm subsidy bill when he explicitly refused to send money to white farmers. Of course, by that time, the funds were already gone.
Which is another thing that needs to be stripped: ending government food control.
This was done by the Republicans and Clinton in the 1990s. I don't think it had anything to do with homeowners per se.
It did, that's why I said it.
But not with universal health care.
Well yeah, with Universal Health Care they would have barred his family members from getting treatment too.
Our system isn't exactly 'private'. It's Keynsian, or Corporatist. Private healthcare is barely even an option because it's strictly regulated to the point that it's so expensive that private insurance is barely an option.
That's why I don't have insurance ;)
Yes, I said I got covid, why?
I just ate some iron supplements, K3 & D3 supplements, took some mucinex, and stood out in the sun for a while. Also, kept my sinuses clear with Pace Picante Hot Sauce.
Calling these people evil is too fucking generous.
They burned down police stations, hollowed out Kenosha, besieged several federal court houses, engaged in major race rioting across the country, attacked people just eating food and minding their own business, shot an 8 year old girl to death, killed 30 others, and claimed that anyone protesting the lockdowns were the real terrorists while actively funding the race riots and keeping them out of jail.

Ashley Babbit was killed for doing the same shit that the Left did when they protested state houses after Roe v. Wade
Don't forget, because some of you may not know. The case for removing Trump according to Twitter is fucking insane.
No, he wasn't removed for telling people to "go peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".
He was actually permanently suspended for calling his rally-goers "American Patriots", and for saying he wouldn't attend the inauguration. They claimed that saying he wouldn't go to the inauguration was a call to violence.

And yet they lose all court cases. Imagine a world in which they would not only censor, but the censorship would also be upheld in court.
I'll give you a better apolitical example from my highschool.
If they could unilaterally do that, there's the problem. Although I am pretty sure that they could not legally bar the gym with the intent to stop a protest.
And yet if it gets to the Supreme Court, I can guarantee you that it will be at least 7-2, possibly 9-0.
This was done by the Republicans and Clinton in the 1990s. I don't think it had anything to do with homeowners per se.
But not with universal health care.
Yes, in 5 years, the court will say that you shouldn't be expelled. That's the problem here. There is no justice, even when you are within the law. As such, it's not worth it to fight it most of the time. I get that Canada's worse, but the point is that a private school allows you to fucking leave and have competition.
Of course they can't. It's completely unconstitutional. Now, who's gonna stop them? Nobody. That's the point. If these were private schools, parents could pull their kids out and go somewhere else, with the other schools finding ways to make the transition seemless. But because it's a public school, if the kids don't keep going to that school, the parents get fined or jailed.
Yup, that's what happened with Biden's farm subsidy bill when he explicitly refused to send money to white farmers. Of course, by that time, the funds were already gone.
Which is another thing that needs to be stripped: ending government food control.
It did, that's why I said it.
Well yeah, with Universal Health Care they would have barred his family members from getting treatment too.
Our system isn't exactly 'private'. It's Keynsian, or Corporatist. Private healthcare is barely even an option because it's strictly regulated to the point that it's so expensive that private insurance is barely an option.
That's why I don't have insurance ;)
Yes, I said I got covid, why?
I just ate some iron supplements, K3 & D3 supplements, took some mucinex, and stood out in the sun for a while. Also, kept my sinuses clear with Pace Picante Hot Sauce.
