Think of it as an opportunity to start an all-conservative communication platform that forces you to condense your thoughts into 140 characters and that removes and blocks liberal content.
Well that certainly sounds better than "fascism". Funny, that's exactly how fascism gains dominance: Wrap it all up in friendly sounding speech so the public lets it in the front door.

But this could be fun! For example, Breitbart could no longer hide my comments or kick me out of their comments! Think of the entertaining days ahead for political trolls of all flavors, effectively ruining the comments sections of every web site on the planet and assimilating competing twitter hashtags.
And yet those that don't list them are quickly dismissed for not being one of the experts.
...only if everything coming out of your mouth is obvious bullshit. If you need to hide behind your credentials then you don't deserve them and probably only "earned" them by virtue of being able to pay for them and squeaked by with marginally passing grades.
We've already been down this road. It's how we ended up with NN rules to begin with. People have already forgotten (willfully or otherwise) all of that.
With NN shot down we *will* end up with bad ISP behavior again. It may take 3 months, it may take a year. But it will happen. Again.
The first case, for example, cost the plaintiff $500k to litigate. Effectively only large corps have that kind of money. In other words, don't send in a bunch of FOIA requests hoping for a big court payout later on.
That's not even possible now. The public opinion of NN is tainted by political lies about what NN is, skewed in an effort to make it sound like NN = baby murder so the public will be against it. Far too many people have bought into the lies to make any kind of poll data useful.
I imagine they could just call it the Salt Lake Comic Convention and leave it at that. Fans will still call it the "Salt Lake ComicCon", SDCC be damned.

Hi! Maybe you're new here, or maybe you're just super dense and testing the waters for the "but what about..." defense. Either way, you seem to have [shit]posted some entirely unrelated content. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, this was obviously unintentional and merely the result of being dropped on your head multiple times as an infant. Please do attempt to stay on topic in the future. Thanks!
> Or is it lower, and the "good cops" just turn a blind eye? Does that make them bad cops too?
Yes, ignoring the behavior of bad cops makes the good cops bad. Since that behavior is routinely ignored almost without exception we can conclude that nearly our entire police force is bad and needs to be rooted out.
Public awareness and outcry is the only reason any cop is ever prosecuted. This is why the unions want those lists kept secret -- they can't collect dues from ex-cops.

Re:
The stag originated on a large neon billboard with the outline of the state of Oregon that was altered to add a stag to advertise the White Stage Apparel Company in 1957. It is not an official Oregon trademark, never was. Oregon's current efforts are entirely disingenuous, pretty much par for the course in that corrupt state.
