I was just more specific.
“ constitutional confederated republic”
ADJECTIVE (of states or groups of people) joined in or forming an alliance.~MIE
The US is not a democracy by original term. It is a representative democracy. That operates as/within a constitutional confederated republic.
The existence of this confederacy is in our very name. States. Without the independent self-governance we would be a state, not States.
It’s a minor change of letters but makes for a big difference in governing methodology.
The US has always been a variation of democracy. A fork. Or a branch of the democracy trunk.
Mainlining a branch does not change the root. We are different from the root of direct control.
I have minimal concern about some voice being silenced at some private local.
But I will not pretend that a silencing hasn’t happened. It most certainly has. And you’re free to have an opinion as to that silencing just as I am.
My opinion is that supporting private silencing is against the premise of free speech. It’s my opinion.
I agree the right is necessary for freedom; but I have no requirement to like it.
Well, I guess that depends on how you look at what true means.
Here’s a parallel example; since this site’s name is TECHdirt.
You have Unix. SD, MIT, BSD etc.
BSD is alive and well today. As BSD.
BSD has every right to consider itself Unix. But not all Unix is BSD.
A representative democracy IS a democracy. As is a socialist democracy (what I prefer), a democratic monarchy, and a democratic republic. Etc.
It’s a variation of the original. Just as much right to the term but not the same thing.
I’d also refer you to contextual history on your calling it a “conservative” issue. Remember during the Cold War era, especially during Vietnam, it was the liberal-ist claim the US could not spread what we don’t have at home ourselves. Re:democracy.
What we are not is the source of the term. Later prepended to direct….
We practice a derivation of the process.
See below:
Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία, dēmokratiā, from dēmos 'people' and kratos 'rule'[1]) is a form of government in which the people have the authority to deliberate and decide legislation ("direct democracy"), or to choose governing officials to do so ("representative democracy").
Representative democracy, also known as indirect democracy, is a type of democracy where elected persons represent a group of people, in contrast to direct democracy.~wikipedia. Via Victorian Electronic Democracy, Final Report
That would definitely be interesting outside of the game sphere.
It would instantly give Microsoft one hell of an entertainment catalogue.
Massive tech insight too!
Think about Sony’s software library. Dead and active.
They could become a competitor to iHome. Smart tech. Power and distribution.
They could build out Microsoft/Windows Video.
Create a multi platform streaming system quite quickly.
Jump right into storage development with holographic technology.
So it would suck for Sony fans in the gaming realm but overall that would be a huge benefit to tech competition! They’d become a direct rival to google overnight.
Your thought of what I oppose is definitely wrong but you may have some leverage on the fact of opposition despite your fallacy that it has anything to do with Fox or Breitbart.
Your implication is that I have an opinion on the contract issue of OAN and DTV which is incorrect.
My opposition is to the celebration of cancellation. Without regard for who is cancelled.
So yes, there is a bit of side-effect in my opposition to someone blindly cheering when something they don’t like is removed.
So maybe. And that makes me pause to consider that small validity in your biased ranting.
Ultimately though my observation on the situation is correct though. You support the cancellation under political motivation as not being a supporter of whatever the political content of that station is.
Where I oppose the aspect of being glad someone has been cancelled. Not because of any one voice but because one loss leads to another and inevitably they will come for me.
Do you honestly think I’d be welcomed at Trumpbook or Parler?
I am concerned with the eventual erosion of options.
What ultimately drives my concerns on speech is how many times in my life “the man” has come for my pleasures.
D&D. Doom. Harry Potter. GTA. Halloween, Faces of Death. Erotica. Porn. Anime. Hentai.
I have a serious problem with that. And I recognise that idea of “mission creep” will eventually come for what it isn’t supposed to.
It’s simply what happens.
A Serbian Film is probably the most out there of political dressings but it’s hardly original.
the August Underground trilogy did that first.
Personally I like low budget independent bloodsport, Italian thrillers, the new wave of French horror.
Hammer offers slight of hand. Definitely Roth films. And MNS.
Cannibal films are good when they keep the balance.
Most of all I like the female revenge films. You go girl.
To truly support freedom of speech you must support all speech.
If you don’t, you fall short of true support.
You will not change my mind on that firm belief.
I believe every voice is important no matter how far left or right.
I still can't fathom how someone could actually support Obama's policies then go for Trump with his vastly opposed policies
It’s quite easy. For what I actual care about anyway.
Obama was an outsider. Not a seasoned Washington boot licker.
He offered to fix the border/immigration issues.
End the wars.
Adjust trade treaties
Fix healthcare.
Let’s see, Trump was an out, not a seasoned Washington boot licker.
He offered to fix the border/immigration issues.
End the wars.
Adjust trade treaties
Fix healthcare.
With the added bonus of also supporting gun rights.
And the reason I voted for Trump twice is the same reason I voted for Obama twice.
I watched the bureaucracy of entrenched politicians get in his way. In congress and in courts.
The rest of the platform is generally not of much interest to me.
…:
Oh, and I’ve never spat at any site that put out legitimate dirt. I think it’s a good thing.
I judge the material based on the evidence. Not who supplies it.
Which has nothing to do with the actions of a satellite provider and a content provider.
I did not ramble on about any effect on free speech; rather that I see one cheering for the loss of a voice’s outlet. See angry neighbours context above.
It’s not a statement on free speech, but on the hypocrisy of only defending speech one supports.

Yes, at it’s most basic core a “true” democracy is direct.
All other methods are reductions or variations on that core. That doesn’t make it false. Just not the same as the original core. Rather A variation.

Representative means someone else votes for you. Otherwise you are voting which would be direct democracy.
What do you mean by equal? Democracy isn’t equal. It’s majority.

I believe the more voices the better. And the more reach for those voices the better.
Contrary to “leftist” beliefs… in reality when someone is removed from a platform their voice absolutely has been silenced – on that platform.
I cherish debate and communication.
