the pieces of hte picutre you extrapolate to giant soapboxy stances are like way more incomplete than you seem to think
thats p much the last ill say on this
cool do yns and alightsoul next
The state of hate speech/hate speech laws in the US:
Exists already pretty much exactly as insom has asked for it to exist (in the bailey of his motte & bailey)
There is a big fight already ongoing over whether it can be expanded to the motte ("X is causing violence!" "you can't say X(political opinion), that's hate speech actually")
For the most part the auth left is winning that fight (in that the line of what qualifies as hate speech has been pushed, over the years, & the main censorship authority (FB, twitter, Google) has already been censoring it)
However it isn't yet codified in law & in some ways this suits the US govt because they can effectively censor via large corporations while avoiding the legal struggles & wild unpopularity of govt censorship in the US
This is authoritarian and is generally bad for democracy.
i have no issues with alightsoul's position, tho the weirdo shit he posted in the no nut thread recently is kinda questionable
yns is an edgelord p much trying to get off on pissing you off with this thread

"I am a freaking rabbit" wants to censor my posts in the No Nut thread. This is authoritarian & unacceptable
the fact that deep down i prefer this site existing to not existing and i prefer yns not being banned to being banned reveals that i am pro absolute free speech
though plasma can still eat a ban for being worthless recently

idg the relevance of the travis scott apology in the slightest
Iâve been radicalizing my family members and my girlfriend for months now, but yesterday my mom wanted to talk about some political videos she had been watching. Weâd talked about Ben Shapiro before and I had explained how heâs a grifter, so she sought his videos out and apparently found him far more convincing than I have been. Whereas before she was all on board with everything I had explained to her, about workers rights, American labor history, the contradictions of capitalism, etc., the few Ben Shapiro videos she watched were apparently enough to plant that conservative tick in her. She wanted to argue yesterday about how there shouldnât be minimum wage laws because Ben Shapiro made what she though were good arguments, saying it wasnât okay to force employers to pay a certain amount and that a job making $5/hr is better than no job at all.
I was taken aback and tried explaining to her why Ben Shapiro and others like him are a bad influence again, and in the middle of my talking both she and my girlfriend got on YouTube and my mother began watching another Shapiro clip while my girlfriend went and watched a Liberty Hangout video (since I had brought that channel up too and my girlfriend watches it sometimes, âbecause itâs entertaining and she doesnât actually listen to Katelynâs opinions,â which is obviously not true because you when you expose yourself to the brainwash itâs very difficult to fight it, especially when you donât know itâs there and are politically illiterate).
I just feel so defeated. If I canât even get my own family members to care and understand, how am I supposed to get anyone else to? Iâm not as effective a rhetorician as Ben Shapiro and apparently my loved ones really are the âadvertising doesnât work on meâ types. My mother is obviously going to get further radicalized now because YT is gonna put more rightist videos in her recommended, and since these people uphold the establishment values she grew up with she finds them more convincing than my showing and explaining all the secrets and bad things about the US and capitalism. Itâs so disheartening and depressing and I just donât know how to combat the brainwash anymore
i think rupert murdoch, newscorp, and sinclair broadcasting should be dismantled and the execs executed but hate speech laws arent the best way to do it (we need some vigilantes just straight asssassinating them)

fucking big time agree brother
Btw this is the actual discussion that should be had around free speech & if the left had any balls left (they don't) they'd be having it
Twitter, FB, Google etc joined together to completely censor & scrub from the internet a fully factual article about Joe Biden's son during the election & many people still believe the false story spread (by large news orgs) at the time that it was "Russian disinfo" or something
This is bad for democracy
Twitter, FB, Google etc have continued during the Biden presidency to act as effectively a censorship arm of the auth left, removing things like "Kyle is innocent!!!" (which, again, end up being proven factual by the fact that he is found NG). Many things like this going on regularly & it's not a good way to conduct democracy, they effectively control the flow of information & have been repeatedly wrong on "Fact checks" etc in disastrous (yet unaccountable) ways

you can dismantle Twitter if I get to dismantle Sinclair deal?
i can't read you saying "Dangerous to our democracy" over and over without thinking of this clip
I'm pro-dismantling of all the big news megacorps
See we are both basically anti-authoritarian but you've been psyopped into thinking sometimes auth left positions are the anti-authoritarian ones (they're not)
CNN/msnbc & co should be sued to kingdom come for their shit
First by Kyle R but also by the states that have been ravaged in the wake of incendiary reporting
Basically insom you are just a couple years behind (in other words, â â â â â â â â ) in that all the things we hated about Fox & co in the early 2000s have now become endemic to the broader industry - NYT, CNN etc are now afflicted by the exact same virus & guilty of the exact same crimes
No I didn't read it
very much doubt you cared about any of this until CNN etc started doing it
Someone do a review of my political stances
