> As soon as one side is allowed to use violence to achieve political goals, what is to prevent the other side in acting the same way.

Power. It being completely hypocritical means nothing to them. The romans conquered Europe, even though they were surely told that they wouldn't like it if they themselves were invaded.

Because he didn't go anywhere else. He could have joined Parler or Gab and continued drawing attention.

If transaction fees were reasonable, you could simply sell it to people and they pay you in cash. Nowadays I don't know how resistant it is.

When prosecutors, police and lawyers agree with them(or can be pressured), legality means nothing.

Government-run enterprises are not fair competition since they have unfair advantages. One does not create competition by allowing enterprises which can do dumping at worst, and always have special advantages at best.

The ISP market, being usually a duopoly or monopoly, is an exception due to how broken the market is. But in most occasions it is a bad idea. I don't doubt the proposal is in bad faith, but the excuse is reasonable.

Nobody expected that the Capitol would be broken into, this could be that people don't know what to expect anymore and are panicking.

The distinctions are that you like and agree with BLM, but hate Trump and think he is evil.

Then I hope you are also banning their adversary.

When editorials only ever include the beliefs of the left, and even moderate republican beliefs are beyond the pale and mean that those responsible for publishing them are fired, it is obvious to all not willfully blind that editorials mean endorsement.

The problem is not S230, the problem is centralization.

I use ColdTurkey, you can block any website or program you want on a schedule, or on a timer. You can add breaks, allowances and Pomodoro style setups. You can remove them whenever you want, but you can add a password I believe, or choose the option to be unable to remove the block while it is active(if you do this, make sure you leave a way to delete it).

I too wanted something like that, must solve an equation or something, but this is close enough.

Corporate/social media censorship is now the en vogue censorship and the one we are most problems with, at least in the western world. Or maybe it's the one with most publicity. In comparison, government/ISP censorship seems to have died out and be pretty mild. However, something like China's censorship is much worse than social media. I thought we luckily would be free of such, but I do consider Poland western, and Japan a reputable democracy. It is still dangerous because a threat we thought dead or dormant is still active.

Interesting article. It doesn't look at corporate/social media censorship, but government and ISP censorship is still dangerous.

I found quite surprising that Japan censored The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal for G20. What would be the reason for that? It's not like they would provoke disturbances.

Also, ISP censorship on Norway. Corporate overreach, or unofficial cooperation between them and government? They really need some Net Neutrality.

I have saved a post about this from 4chan, they passed it around on some pro-gun rights forums. Will paraphrase it and spare you the expletives.

"You cannot control an entire country and its people with tanks, jets, battleships and drone or any of these things you believe trump's citizen ownership of firearms.

A fighter jet, tank, drone, battleship or whatever cannot stand on street corners. And enforce "no assembly" edicts. A fighter jet cannot kick down your door at 3am and search your house for contraband.

None of these things can maintain the needed police state to completely subjugate and enslave the people of a nation. Those weapons are for decimating, flattening and glassing large areas and many people at once and fighting other state militaries. The government does not want to kill all of its people and blow up its own infrastructure. These are the very things they need to be tyrants in the first place. If they decided to turn everything outside of Washington DC into glowing green glass they would be the absolute rulers of a big, worthless, radioactive pile of [excrement].

Police are needed to maintain a police state, boots on the ground. And no matter how many police you have on the ground they will always be vastly outnumbered by civilians which is why is a police state it is vital that your police have automatic weapons while civilians are unarmed.

BUT when every random pedestrian could have a Glock in their waistband and every random homeowner an AR-15 all of that goes out of the window because now the police are outnumbered and face the reality of bullets coming back at them.

If you want living examples of this look at every insurgency that the US military has tried to destroy. They're all still kicking with nothing but AK-47s, pick-up trucks and improvised explosives because these big weapons you talk about are useless for dealing with them. ".

Why instead of raising the birth rate, must we bring massive amounts of immigrants each year? For the short time Hungary's loan assistance to families with children has been put in place, it has already had great effects.

> These are the tools that Trump, right-wingers and white supremacists use to fool their supporters and trigger their seratonin generators through fearmongering.

What a coincidence that those who disagree with you are all liars and brainwashed.

Drugs maybe?

>Yes it does. Building a board and management team that is more representative of the demographics in society is an effort to reduce the effect of in group bias.

Then when will they include conservatives in the board? They are after all half the population, but there doesn't seem to be any in all of Reddit's board or company.

Extreme right-wing(and center-right) are countered by the extreme left moderators and administrators. I assure you, if left-wing posts started being vote brigaded, Reddit would ban all those involved. They can already detect and ban vote brigading, they just don't care to stop it.

I do not trust Google to give me accurate and truthful results. Not the engineers, not the executives, not the company. They are my political opponents.

They are people and Google is still a corporation: they can all be bought, infiltrated, deceived, manipulated and threatened. I would not allow such a centralized point of failure for all information and knowledge to be controlled.

Given that not even soft sciences academics, who are supposed to be erudites, can separate themselves from their biases and look at things objectively, and their whole job is supposed to be that, I do not trust that the engineers at Google are able to do that.

And finally, simply giving an incredibly small elite what the rest of the population can see and know, is a bad idea.

These are the reasons why I oppose prioritizing "truth and accuracy". It would not be such thing.

I, personally, would add that just the two American political parties deciding what is politically neutral is pretty bad. Even if the Republicans are nominally on my side, I do not trust such people to treat fairly all other politics than the ones chosen by the leaders of each party. And all the other points I have raised wholly apply even to those on my side of politics.

It would still, however, be better than letting my political enemies controlling the internet. If the roles were reversed, you would think the same.

So, some script kiddies buy a botnet and take down a few websites, and that means that the arson, looting and general violence is all the fault of white supremacists? That makes no sense.

>Politicians, police, corporations, media... the institution is trying to pushing the idea that protestors == looters.

You cannot say that corporations are doing that when Google, Sony, Target, Home Depot, EA, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Facebook, Apple, Intel, Levi's, Banana Republic,Amazon, Spotify, Snap, Netflix, Microsoft, Zillow and Disney are in favor of the protests/riots. And those are the ones I found on the first article I clicked.

Are you seriously saying that 49% of US voters are white supremacists? This is one of the most absurd conspiracy theories I have ever heard.

And of course, "hateful" is unilaterally defined by your side and may change at any time.

I am glad that unelected corporations are protecting us from the opinions of elected officials.

What I heard was that California refused to cooperate, and the commission couldn't do much without their cooperation. Though this is only a rumor I heard.

You could try Tabletop Simulator, there are tons of games, and many free thanks to mods.

2.2- For co-op I recommend Terraria, it is a 2d Minecraft but much more focused on adventure and combat. Really cheap and has lots of content, and there are mods on PC.

I also recommend getting the Epic Store free games, since all your friends can get them. Not all of them are multiplayer though. This week GTA5 is free, you might want to try the multiplayer with your friends.

Just because you don't like the candidate it doesn't mean that nobody else does.

I don't know what parent thinks, but if you suspend sales tax and keep the price the same, you suddenly earn much more. This increased profit incentivizes producers sending product to the area with shortages, and increasing production to send to that area.
