Why does a private company like Twitter have the right to use the internet, a public utility, for the destruction of western civilization through the spread of bad ideas?

I don't know.

Why do we have to rig an election to "fortify" (((our))) democracy? Seems like if you answer one question, you answer both.

Obviously, people don't know what's best for them, but it's a good thing our overlords do.

internet is not a public infrastructure and you can tell because you need to pay to access it.

imagine thinking privately owned things are a public good because you are so entrenched into capitalist ideals that you don't even know what a public good is.

Do you think it should be treated as a public utility? If not explain why.

Are all French-Canadians as angsty as you?

I mean, I already told you I am a radical leftist who don't really like capitalism, what do you think my answer will be?


All I am saying is that as of right now, it is not, however much you want to believe it is and asking this question is moot because it merely switch the focus onto me, again, rather than you saying quite loudly that you thought it was public but after some research, realized it is not.

Instead you ask my opinion about a thing that ahs no bearing on reality to further diss me or continue your path of strutting around your high horse.

buddy, whether or not I think it should be a public domain has no bearing on the fact that right now, it isn't.

Just accept you were wrong.

Ooh I missed that one earlier: self-identifies, matter of factly, as a radical leftist who dislikes capitalism. Rarely do you get one clear marker of psychosis, but there it is. Your guilty plea explains everything: US hate, illogical rants, false assumptions, and tenuous conclusions.

We made progress here; you have discovered your own problem for free on an emulator forum. That would have cost you years of therapy in the US and thousands of dollars, or taken years to get approved for free in Canada while waiting for care... but I suspect the diagnosis would not be up to US standards.

I don’t think our rights withstand banning social media. I also think social media will increase authoritarian tendencies on both sides of the political spectrum. It’s a catch 22 that could only be solved by people being generally smarter and better looking. I wish I had the answer for you guys, but I turned 56 this week and am on the way out. It’s up to you to save the aryan race from bull shit like atheism, obesity, and stupidity. I’m not sanguine on your chances without leadership of those fit to wear the purple (Persians, Armenians, Greeks, Romans, and Anglo-Saxons).

Oh, btw, I sent a request up to the big man for blessings on your investments today, so you're gonna be even more blessed now. Don't hold it against me, it was a freebie.

I will never accept criticism from a foreigner for any reason. Hope this helps!
