they have to make sure the people are kept away, because otherwise - there would be no one there, and it would be really fucking obvious.

Biden’s “events” leading up to the election were a blatant ghost town. To their advantage, only non-democrats paid any attention.

Because Biden supporters understand science and don't want to spread a deadly virus.

      They’ve been adding the notice to Ben Shapiro’s videos even though he adamantly claims the election wasn’t stolen. It’s a psyop to brand all conservatives.

      Mhm. One of my YouTube videos had a label on it, even though I didn't talk about the election at all. They need to tone it way down.

        [–]bobbobbybob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

        see, the key word is "credible". All my sources are 'credible", but you'll say otherwise. And, since the courts refused to even LOOK at any of the evidence, no one ever got to decide what is and isn't. Very disappointed in the supreme court.

        [–]fishbox 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        We're well past the depths of repression ascribed to "McCarthyism".

        [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

        Yeah that was like a blacklist of big-names from certain clubs and organizations. This is like... corporations reflexively deleting conversation from the public square out of fear while governments simultaneously mandate lockdowns

        [–]wristaction 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        Also, during the Cold War, there was legitimate predicate for looking at communists as potential agents of a foreign power. There is no foreign power here. There is only a suppression of domestic political groups under the same kind of language as used in the Soviet Union. No one is a "dissident". They are terrorists. No one is exercising free speech. They are endangering public safety by spreading misinformation.

        [–]magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

        That's true. Although you could argue now that warfare has evolved mostly to soft power, to influencing cultures via media. And there are definitely shilling groups from foreign governments pushing their opinions in English with the goal of influencing America in directions that are favorable to those governments. So I don't think we can ignore that type of media manipulation.

        But most of the English-language manipulation is coming from inside the country, from the political groups like Cambridge Analytica and Shareblue. And also from corporations who are pushing agendas. Monsanto shills have been a thing for a very long time.

        And as the prevalence of paid shills increases, and the use of chatbots pretending to be people as the technology gets more advanced, we're looking at an internet that will be 90% propaganda and very hard to find real people.

        But twitter censoring guys like the OP is clearly not the solution to this, and is just making it worse by creating echo chambers of propaganda themselves.

        [–]wristaction 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

        What if the problem you're talking about is as old as print and requires no novel solutions in the current era?

        What if the people weilding the power to silence people aren't trying to solve the problem you've posed? It makes a difference because if the problem they're trying to solve is the existence of political opposition, they certainly seem capable of solving it completely by the methods they're applying.

        The thing which is sinister about censorship is not that it forces the "bad guys" into the shadows. The censors are the bad guys. And they're not doing anything which is counterproductive to their ends.

        Kind of a masochistic take. I mean, do you think you're a bad guy? You think the only thing wrong with being banned from reddit is that now you're on a less mainstream site and now you can speak more freely with likeminded bad guys who will influence you to become more evil?

        I think the election certification was going to happen during the day until your people attempted to murder mike pence.

        Why did they leave the capitol unguarded during what they knew would be a contentious decision?

        [–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

        The authorities underestimated how violent middle class whites could get. Some in law enforcement even approve of attempts to 'stop the steel'. It is currently fashionable for the right to claim that storming the capital was wrong. But I remember Rush Limbaugh wishing to fight a civil war over banning abortion. I remember the Oklahoma City bombing. I remember a paranoid freak on shortwave radio who asked his listeners to get ready for civil war every time he talked. You people just want to get your guns, call yourselves the Wolverines, then shoot some communists. I have got some news for you. American communists barely exist and they don't deserve to get shot.

        [–]magnora7 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

        Neither side should be violent. There's plenty of ways to resolve things peacefully.

        [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

        You can't "stop the steel" without getting violent. So when Trump asked you to "stop the steel", he asked you to get violent.

            That's why your side will lose. You sell your people out the moment it is convenient to do so. Whose going to fight your next battle when they know you will toss them under the bus?

            Lol y'all force an empty mall because of a violent insurrection, which also causes the soldiers. Oh and the insurrection also caused the certification to be at night.

            And elections are usually called late at night...

            But yes. This is definitely a rational post...

            Why are people so naive? Someone invents an internet platform and everyone flocks to it, they don't pay anything for it's use, they treat it like they were in their lounge room chatting with a group of friends. Then one day the Owner of the platform decides to make some changes, because they OWN it and can do what they like. Now all of a sudden everyone is crying about censorship and civil rights and oppression. If you own a website or blog, can't you pick and choose what stories you introduce? You have the right to exclude anything, because it's your site.

            It's the same shit happening with people who rent houses. They don't own the houses, but when all of a sudden they can't pay the rent they start crying about basic human rights and oppression and exploitation. You're homeless, well it sucks to be you, but that's life. That landlord, "and I know a few landlords" worked hard much of their life and sacrificed many pleasures while you spent your money recklessly and didn't bother saving towards a house. So do the right thing, get the fuck out of "Their" house so they can rent it to someone who'll pay. Why should other people suffer just because you were irresponsible.

            People use crying to signal that a company has become malicious and should be avoided. There is nothing wrong with crying, it doesn't infringe on your property rights in any way.

            When the stated purpose of your platform is drastically different from the real purpose, that's false advertising. It's a crime.

            When the stated purpose of your platform is drastically different from the real purpose, that's false advertising.

            Not if they change the terms of service along the way ;)

            But I get your point about crying out in indignation, I hadn't thought of it from that perspective. I just find the whole affair ridiculous because hundreds of millions of people were lured online, under their real identities, and gave themselves up to every intelligence agency and marketing company in the world. I couldn't think of anything more dangerous for your future personal rights than to engage in social media. I never joined any of them and I'm glad of that. I like to keep my opinions and thoughts among my close intimates, and here, behind a wall of anonymity.

            That's right, if you play by the rules you can earn these privileges, like a driver's license, anyone can get one, if they pass the test, but if you fall behind on the payment or break the road rules, it's revoked!

            It's not good that people are getting thrown out of their homes I know that, but I don't involve myself emotionally with it. I don't get upset every time I see a dead Kangaroo on the side of the road either, in fact I feel relief that it wasn't me that hit the bastard lol.

              Oh and twitter access is really gonna help you eh. How did the last few years of full access help your lifestyle? I say you, because this "Silly little fool" lives in Australia. You've heard of that place? I wouldn't ask you to point to it on a map because you'd probably embarrass yourself "yes I've seen those videos lol" It's the place a lot of Yanks tried to flee to but the doors are firmly shut now! Enjoy your Gulag Mr dissident.
