Interesting conspiracy theory. Musk, Ackman, Altman historically vote Democrat. Dean didn't propose them as cabinet positions. He made an off the cuff joke. Most Democrats want a different choice. Why is competition within the party a

Free speech doesn't lead to devasating results. Just the opposite. Censorship does. Every time. Nazis, communists, every authoritarian or totaliatarian government, rely on censorship and restrict free speech heavily. Bad ideas require

Correction That election was about the working class finally getting one over on the managerial elite. 7 years later and you still don't understand 2016 or refuse to understand it, all while acting smug.

To be fair, that's because he leveled the playing field that was tilted in favor of the elite establishment consensus. They aren't supportive of a platform with free speech. ie, speech one disagrees with. Team Establishment was ha

I didn't realize how many these laws have piled up until recently. Earlier this month, in order for the Biden administration to start building along the South Texas border, they had to waive 26 laws! How can anyone, but the largest of

That literally always happens with every presidency. Good luck gaslighting the working class into believing their day to day situation is something it's not. "Don't believe your lying eyes. Your grocery bills and rent and gas

That entire category of laws are commonly used to apply selective leverage. NIMBYs love this one trick. They can be selectively waived too. In fact earlier this month the Biden administration waived 26 laws in South Texas to allow border wa

He's perfectly self aware that he has rejected his own class. It's weird that people think that's impossible or something and insist that he must be one in the same.

If there's an upside here, it's that humans will now be forced to refine their BS detectors. In doing so the species would improve critical thinking skills which can be applied to all information regardless of source. Which, I agr

Spare your righteous indignation. You can't suddenly act like there is a test or standard when self-id has been the rule all along, and furthermore is acceptable to change one's identity as often as desired.

We thought we were going to escape a CCP style social credit score in the US, but big tech has an exploitable loophole in the administrative layer.

It's amusing they recognize NPCs that uncritically repeat the establishment narrative and question nothing, but don't recognize they are doing the same thing in reverse. "I Support The Current Thing" vs "I Oppose Th

"For the children" is how they sell removal of freedoms and justification for putting the general population under surveillance. The managers know what's best for all of us!

Populism is a response to corrupt and incompetent establishments. There's nothing competent to drive out by the time populism rears its head. It was already long gone.

In the past scolds were attracted to evangelical churches. Those are no longer in fashion, mostly limited to one day a week, don't pay well or at all. Now they can excercise their scolding from on high in the administrative layer of co

It's projection. The people making that accusation are themselves all-but-literally exterminating individuals from society. They are engaging in dangerous levels of othering using a cloak of false kindness.

That's all projection and appeal to emotion to justify censoring and bullying people into submission. How many people have had their characters assassinated, ostracized and fired, sometimes commiting suicide as a result, just because t

That's right. Authoritarian censors found an exploit. They couldn't use the government to clamp down on civil liberties because of the pesky constitution, so they invaded the administrative layer of big tech. It's not the eng
