Because Reddit is overrun with authoritarian racist SJW fascists, and Voat is overrun with racist white nationalist fascists. I don't believe in fascism of either form, and I can't stand obnoxious authoritarians telling me to shut up and get in line. Because I am at heart a liberal in that I value free expression, free association, and reason.

GUN CONTROL FAIL: Nearly Zero Kiwi Gun Owners Give Up Their Guns After Christchurch by HeyImSancho in SundogsPlace

One day after the mosque massacres, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern proclaimed that her government aims to implement gun control, which includes a ban on “military-style” weapons that were allegedly used during the slaughter.

Criminal murders a bunch of people. Solution? Take guns away from law abiding people.

We remove those comments, we ban the perpetrators, but the issue still persists at a fundamental level: the notion that it’s okay or acceptable to ridicule and demonize traditionally disenfranchised and marginalized members in the gaming community.

I wonder if it ever occurs to anyone that removing and banning are forms of margarineization. What a crock of shit.

Reddit Takes First Step Against Adult Content by HorseMeat in MeanwhileOnReddit

Reddit’s system is naturally built to highlight online influencers; all posts are automatically submitted to a voting process: The most up-voted messages receive the most visibility.

Companies are able to promote top posts to a very targeted audience, directly on its front page

I guess not everyone understands this. Social media companies hire psychologists to design and tweak systems to promote engagement. Because they want to sell advertisement space. Because that's how they make money.

There is a lot of history and nuance. Immigration has been a heavily politicized issue for most of my life. Difficult to suss out the facts because neither the Democrats nor the Republicans present the facts of the situation. Most of us lack information because it is a taboo subject. It is impossible to ask a question about immigration in America without drawing accusations of "racist", "xenophobe", etc.

Here's my tl;dr:

Democrats: "Immigration is great! We need more immigrants!"

President Trump: "Okay, we will send them to your cities.

Democrats: "What? No! That's racist!"

I know, I know it sounds childish. Well I'm sorry, but that is exactly the level of debate on the issue of immigration in America right now. It's infuriating.

Progressives hate liberals. Progressivism is the opposite of liberalism.

Liberalism, political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others, but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty.

I like the free speech aspect

Me too, but Voat is free speech in name only. The karma system inhibits participation from minority opinions. It's also pretty damn discouraging to get dogpiled by dozens or even hundreds of downvoats when asking honest questions and hoping for an answer. You get no answers, aside from "SHILL DETECTED" and such.

Saidit doesn't have upvote vs downvote, but instead two types of upvotes: An "Insightful" vote which has a lightbulb icon, and a "Fun" vote which is a laughing icon. You can vote both of them if it's both funny and insightful, and that will give it the most points and increase its ranking. This two-upvote system gets rid of upvote vs downvote wars, and people downvoting others to censor them.

I'm all over the map! All of these are appealing to me:

  • protecting basic liberties
  • counter economics
  • tolerate voluntary, peaceful communes as long as they don't intrude on my life (but keep Hoppe in the hip pocket in case we absolutely need helicopters)

I like objectivism a lot, but it seems to me that they went wrong somewhere.

strong national defense

I don't know what that implies. I question whether it's possible to eliminate our national military. Apparently we have too much "defense" because we've been constantly engaged in military actions since WW2.

It's not even about President Trump. It's about the possibility for the electorate to choose their government based on their own interests rather than Google's dictates.

Same as usual. People are unhappy because they lack liberty. As they see their liberty being further constrained they look for someone to blame.
