If twitter is a publisher, I should be able to sue them for what they publish, but I can't because of CDA 230. Are you in favor of repealing that law?

Whatever society decides is not necessarily good; it's your moral right to break laws you thjnk are sufficiently unjust. When germany goes fascist again, you can bet I'll be using encryption. If you want people to respect the rul

It was pretty authoritarian over the course of the last two years!

They're both racist! What you're doing is breaking the leg of some other guy who looks like the original leg-breaker to "make everything even". There were two problems, originally: someone was going around breaking leg

No, you misidentify me; I'm not one of those anti-human "the world is overpopulated!! Degrowth!!" People. Better food is good; I just assume someone will fuck up at some point while we're figuring out nutrition and g

It's cleaner. Wind turbines break down, and chemical waste never decays.
