Progressives are using words like Nazi and fascist, purely as a slur against a political rival, without really understanding what those words mean nor the attrocities they represent. What the Nazi's did was horrifici, and it's inc

Woke means reducing individuals down to classes (race, gender etc). And then reducing those classes down to either oppressed / oppressor. It’s a highly reductive and juvenile way of looking at the world.

One year is not a trend, especially because there are only a few events per year.

X can't stop the scammers, they can only block them or ignore them. 99% of the public would prefer they block them than overlook them, and you're out of touch if you think otherwise.

You're framing this as an XY problem, but it isn't really an XY problem. In XY problems the problem solver has the ability to solve the root problem instead of the presented one. However, X has zero ability to go into the jungles

Sure it is. Their policies are comparable to the those of the current trump administration.

> AfD is a Nazi party. It feels inappropriate that progressives have decided that it's okay to use Nazi as a generic insult for mainstream right wing parties. It waters down the true horrors of the Nazi party. Anyway, as to censorsh

There are fewer and fewer accidents per passenger-mile every year (allowing for some noise because they are rare events) You're just hearing about it more because there are more planes than ever before, and more media exposure than eve

Meanwhile thousands of users are receiving links to malware and phishing attacks while human raters are twiddling their thumbs. The parent is correct, these systems should be automated. Automated systems can respond faster and more accurate

There obviously are problems with freedom of speech in Europe. Everyone knows it.

It's probably just a spam filter going awry. Signal links are odd, in that all the identifies are after the #, so to a spam filter this just looks like a single url, https://signal.me , being sent out in mass.

> it's not wrong. It's an elegant idea in it's simplicity, but there's zero reason to think this heuristic is more valid than any other, and in my personal experience this line of thinking is usually wrong.

Shifting the goal posts. The attacks on Musk are almost always that he doesn’t support freedom of speech, without any qualification. If you’re trying to attack the much narrower position that he’s not a free speech absolutist you need to do

Musk is a hypocrite, but so too are progressives on the topic of freedom of speech. It's the pot calling the kettle black.

You're right, and that's were the double standards come in. Progressives: Elon doesn't care about freedom of speech because he doesn't allow (edge case) Also progressives: Freedom of speech has its limits Pick a lane.

Doxing often involves linking data in public datasets to de-anonymised individuals. Using ADS-B to achieve that is just an implementation detail. Ultimately, there's little doubt that sharing the real time location of named private ind

You seem to have completely missed what I was saying. Journalists get suspended from social media platforms for doxing all the time. These events are not newsworthy, and wikipedia articles are not written about them. The problem isn't

A president breaking the law, vs a few low-level journalists breaking a doxxing policy of a social media website. Hardly equivalent in terms of notability.

by scarab92 2y ago
The editors. The problem is that notability is very subjective, and wikipedia's editors are notorious for applying a low threshold for information critical of those on the right, and high threshold for information critical of the left.

They shared the real time location of private individuals (or links to it). They were penalized only 24 hours after the ban took effect, but the penality was minor.

It's existence. A couple journalists broke a social media platform's rule on doxxing, and were temporarily suspended for it. This wouldn't meet the standard for notability if it occurred on any other platform.

A couple of journalists broke Twitters rule on doxxing, and were briefly suspended. Wikipedia cops a lot of criticism for being politically biased. The fact it has a whole article around this seems to support that.

You're not even a women, why are you pretending to have insights here?

Men are giving up on women in large numbers, just using them for sex and nothing more, precisely because so many men have this experience. Most women perceive they contribute equally (or more), but vanishly few do by any objective measure.

Like I said, women don't want to self-reflect. Many have this perception that they are contributing far more than they actually are, and they come up with narratives like this to justify that false perception.
