At what point should a service or collection of services run by American corporate entities be considered a defacto public square subject to the bill of rights or at least some kind of transparency and expectations of how they run? What if all the actual streets in the country were private and owned by one corporation, say, Amazon. Would it be ok to say "No you're not allowed to protest except on the 20% of streets not owned by Amazon. Yes they can selectively prevent competitors from driving over 20mph. We don't want big government."? Exposing it is good, but then what's the solution? I already don't use Google.

I've heard that the founding fathers didn't like political parties controlling things, but they did expect that each state would basically be its own political party arguing its people's interests.

With nationalism, Democracy is a form of tyranny too.

He's a liberal psychologist who got popular for his basic life advice to fatherless young men ("clean your room"), wrote some books, and decided he needed to use his new international influence (and wealth) as a sort of controlled opposition for conservatives - arguing to allow the right-wing just enough free speech to act as a pressure valve and prevent the rise of dangerous far-right nationalists. (edit: see the video yoisi linked for proof)

After his addiction controversy he joined Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire to support Israel.

I don't hate him. Like Tim Pool he can be a good gateway drug to the Right. People should just be aware of what he is doing.

FF kept adding them over time. The early entries weren't so bad and things like Moogles were obviously not anthromorphs.

True believers actually pretend that men are not physically more capable than women by nature, pointing to outliers and the effects of training. They're insane.

Any government who wants restrictions should set up their own disney Internet.

That's pretty much what they're going to end up doing anyway, and it's not a good thing, but I get where you're coming from.

It sounds like that's exactly what they are doing yeah.

Minister of Economy Luis Caputo acknowledged that the operation was indeed carried out. “It’s a very positive move… if you have gold in the BCRA, it’s as if you have [assets] inside that cannot be used for anything. If you have it outside the country, you can get returns,” he argued, in an interview with La Nación+, an Argentine TV channel. “It’s much better to have it guarded outside, where they pay you something,”... President Milei later hinted that the transfer of the gold is related to the possibility of using it as collateral to take out a bridge loan. The president said that Argentina already has sufficient U.S. dollars available to pay the maturity of interest on foreign debt — a payment of about $1.6 billion — which is due in January 2025. He claims that the bridge loan would be to pay an additional sum of $3 billion to foreign creditors.

The guy on the right is the Minister of Economy by the way, in case anyone else was as confused as me.

I don't care about voting. Democracy is a joke. Women outside the ring certainly aren't important, though it's fun to call them hypocrites. I'm only interested in what women in a particularly sport have said or done. If the women understand why they have a protected division and actively and vocally opposed men in drag in their sports, then I'll lend them whatever support they want. If they ever virtue signaled about equal pay or trans-rights or celebrated a man on the podium, fuck em.

It's not manifestly unjust to "judge or treat a person according to immutable characteristics". You could even argue it's preferable, depending on context. We don't intuitively feel outrage at slavery or genocide or racial caste systems either. All of the above is learned behavior passed down through culture. Widespread moral opposition to those things (rather than simply hating when it's done to our in-group) is a modern phenomenon brought on by globalization, the spread of Christianity, and expansion of our "circle of empathy."

I only point this relativism out because it's important to realize that our culture is something special that could be completely subverted and turned on its head. There is no limit to the depths that humanity can fall if we don't protect what we consider moral and just, which has been built over generations of civilization.

Also idiots in the replies are conflating and ignoring that there's two specific charges on his police sheet, Disorderly Conduct and Hate Crime. It's possible his behavior could still be considered disorderly conduct, so people are relishing his fine or imprisonment as just desserts while ignoring the fact that hate crime is unconstitutional.

My guess if he appeals is they will only fine him for disorderly and drop the hate crime charge so it can't get overturned. The process is the punishment.

Here is the video of him explaining his version of what happened: https://x.com/leaderoftheUSA/status/1818331662364647607

Yes and it does. The legal penalty on government employees for violating the constitution should be public execution.

It's ok because it's not a hard R. Though Biden would just read it aloud as "Niggers". It would seriously confuse him.

Yeah I mean "Oh you have White cucks for Harris? Well we got Niggas for Trump!" is just good tit for tat, regardless of any cultural considerations.

I don't understand what anyone is expecting our mod to do about the pajeet pedo if the site admins don't even seem to be able to stop him making new alts and spamming boards.

Responses from u/C in meta:

It's not ultimately our problem - we aren't monitoring specific communities. The options are there to filter posts from low trust accounts.

...

Not my intention to blame anyone, and my earlier comment is likely too defensive.

We do have the Community Filter, which can be customized by moderators to remove content from accounts based on score (karma) and account age, or keywords, etc. We don't provide amazing documentation for that currently, though.

With the spam (actual spam: links to movie sites and crap) across communities, that is definitely an issue more for us at a platform level. Something that we are working on.

The human user who is posting gore, that is not really a platform issue. As an open platform, it will always be trivial to create another account and go again. The community filter is best positioned to address that, if a particular community is having issues.

Working on a change at the platform level which should (largely unintentionally) address this.
