Its just hilarious watching conservatives show they know NOTHING about the US constitution, and the very power structure THEY have voted in for the last 4 decades. Stay stupid idiots, your such little tools

As nice as it feels to be vengeful, you underestimate the greatness of the privileges we enjoy and the happiness available to us today, even with all of the current pitfalls.

To advocate for throwing the entire thing in the dumpster in exchange for a despot of some kind indicates a level of ignorance or misunderstanding about the current civilization we live in. Our biggest problem is ourselves and always will be. Right now you can enjoy peace and prosperity in any number of ways. If you chose to work hard for 20 years straight, you could retire to the woods somewhere happily for the rest of your life.

If you choose a despot it doesn't matter how hard you work, you get nothing. Its a lot worse.

Choose life and live snake.

The first ones to be exterminated every time a despot comes into power are the threats to their monopoly on power.

The second ones, are the nonproductive. As long as you're able to disingenuously repeat the mantra you can avoid being caught up in the first purge.

The productive remain fairly safe, because purging them leaves you nothing to rule over.

Free speech is in absolutely no danger of falling. It's never been healthier. Or more abundant. Or cheep to publish. In all of human history. Everywhere. Even places like China have more free speech via google docs WordPress and medium circumventing their firewall than they can handle.

We are in particularly good shape here with Twitter and Twitters ceo having their rights well protected.

Now get writing your novelas, kindles were displaying plain txt last time I checked via USB from my PC just fine.

Agreed. It seems like they are just grasping on whatever argument they can grab ahold of as they fall. Private actors should not be forced to allow private parties to utilize their platform to (a) spread lies, or (b) provoke violence. Moreso the last one. If Donald Trump had not been tweeting out lies that provoked psychos from bumb fuck boon docks wherever to come out of the woods and rush the White House, he would not have been banned from several social media platforms and suspended from the others. In addition, if he was still the president they would have let his ass carry on as they had been because they did not want to disrupt the commander and chiefs communication tool to the modern-day "marketplace." But Donald is no longer the president and therefore is not afforded those extra privileges.

Volume of speech is not the same as freedom of speech, though given your posting habits it's easy to see why that would be lost on you.

Whatabout my posting habits?

Crack open a history book. Best time to be alive is now. The only reason to be afraid is because the economic mistakes being made at the top could jeopardize the whole system.

Luckily as long as not too many people sign up for a dictator to rule them (lol wtf) there is no viable system to replace this one and we are likely to keep trucking till the earth is non viable for human life which is going to be in a really long time even with worst case scenarios.

Lets do what we can for better. Bristlebane bless.

If you don't understand why Twitter is not analogous to a local newspaper then I don't know how to have this conversation.

Another question, do you believe that things posted on Parler had never been posted on Twitter?

Lastly, if Parler is held to task on what is posted there, why isn't Twitter? They shouldn't be btw.
