I love all the people who just want to ignore the attempted kidnapping / murder of the Vice President and Speaker of the house.

Why are you using quotes around the word “canceled” for the Daily Stormer. It was literally a neo-nazi site. Do you think the issues people had with it were somehow contrived, false, or overblown? Why would you even bring that site up tbh?

“Breaking the law nonviolently is a storied tradition for protestors. AKA civil disobedience.” There, fixed that for ya :);)

Since Trump puts self over country/other people, in this case his foil would be country and other people over self, or at least trend that way. So IMHO it depends if PG is spending his time and money to oppose Trump, IMHO. At a moment

I’m proud of being intellectually honest while also doing my best not to be a dick. And of writing maintainable and readable code that will last.

I regret sometimes when I cancel plans with friends. And getting sucked online so much.

Thank you. To reiterate, however, tolerant societies should not and cannot tolerate intolerance. People promoting the “election fraud” lie, or supporting the insurrection/coup attempt are undermining democracy and are borderline sediti

It might be easier to make the comparison if you chose a single “BLM riot” to discuss rather than reduce a months long series of nationwide and international peaceful protests, and related riots, to a single catchphrase. Seriously. I actual

I know. It’s almost like these companies are run by people who are members of society or something. /s

Agreed. A lot of folk on HN right now are having difficulty identifying or naming treason and sedition.

Maybe there should be government regulation. That’s my personal opinion. Or laws to create and define new category for social media alongside publishers and news organizations.

Only like anything that isn't actually inciting a mob? Seriously, I can't believe you had good intent and were engaging in good faith with that question because it's so obviously baloney. You need to think hard about your val

Yeah that was a bit too succint. I meant: Some of what you are saying I agree with and believe is true. Other parts of what you are saying are, I believe, overly reductive and not accurate. I think your post articulates some important point

Shit, I would simply be happy if humanity had a goal . LOL as for blobs of meat, well, me and a couple other people I know would be unwilling to part with our meaty blobs, for a whole bunch of reasons ;)

I agree that politicians and political parties want to win. And I appreciate your clarification that (if I’m understanding correctly) you do believe there are currently some meaningful differences between the two parties. The percentages bi

> I would not have been surprised if we saw something similar if Trump had won a 2nd term. When you say similar, what do you mean? An armed mob breaking in to the Capital to stop Congress from certifying the electoral college votes and t

Honest question - do you really believe the two situations are equivalent?

Sure, of course there are examples of parties flopping. I'm saying that it's not a constant rule. Like, I don't think the Democrats became less invested in environmental regulation when Nixon created the EPA. Or with health

No, not that. Basically monopoly power, like with J.P. Morgan. Facebook has become immensely powerful. It is controlled by Zuckerberg. It's a new domain so it's still unregulated but I'm sure that will eventually change as so

Crazy part is that one unelected guy (Zuckerberg)has this kind of power. To make this decision at his discretion. I mean it reads like something a head of state might say. Nonetheless, at least they are doing it.
