But even in cases when they are, voting rarely helps: https://www.woes.blog/p/tgr-democracy > you don’t know what that dictatorship you so much yearn for Re-read my sentence. I don't yearn for a dictatorship, I yearn to blunt and make obvious the current secret, subtle censorship regime. > has in their bag for you Is it jail? “White Lives Matter” Slogan Earns Two Dutch Men Imprisonment for Racism - https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news-corner/nether...

You're floating in the river, letting it carry you where it pleases, while telling those swimming upstream that there is no current, nothing to struggle against. Edit as reply because "posting too fast": > How did all of these social media companies made a 180 suddenly after power shifts in Washington? None of the racist or right-wing or white nationalist subreddits got unbanned, American Renaissance is still banned off Facebook and Youtube, Facebook still explicitly bans white nationalism, and other social media ban it implicitly as "hate speech", TikTok bans "white lives matter" [1], and promised to ban even more [2] (under Trump's 1st term), while wikipedia doesn't even bother to mention that as censorship [3]. All of this is still the case under the current Washington. The only exception is Twitter, after Musk bought it - there, American Renaissance got unbanned. And a 180 would imply that these things are not only unbanned, but their opponents are banned. So if you're going to just make stuff up, i.e. lie, then I won't waste my time with you.

> Not a single one of my examples was committed by the government. Interesting! How did all of these social media companies make a 180 suddenly after power shifts in Washington? > You're floating in the river,… Of course but this doesn’t have any bearing on what I said. We are talking about severity and type of censorship not its meaning. | ||
