The republican party machinery is designed to crush dissent, they purged anyone willing to work with democrats during the Tea Party days, and now they censure and punish anyone unwilling to bend the knee and declare undying loyalty to a former president and a willingness to ignore reality in order to appease his whims. They continually pass laws designed to silence the left, strip away the right and free speech of minorities and punish those who challenge them in any way and it us all done with the wholehearted support of the rank and file who cheer on voting the libs and continually primary the closest republicans to the center... All their actual deeds are exactly the same as unspecified oppression by democrats that probably maybe exists somewhere.
You know the actual royals have very little real power these days and are more of a theme park attraction now, right?
People born into wealth and privelege are pushing the country off a cliff, but the majority of the guilty parties are no more royal that the children of politicians and million/billionaires poisoning american politics, heck, in the case of Rupert Murdoch and his crotchspawn they're one and the same
Re: Does this apply to "left wing"? Aren't they TOO au
Uh huh. Experience has taught me anyone who claims 'Both sides are your enemy' tends to have far more of an issue with imagined oppression by the left than they are with the actual weaponising of the systems of government by the right that we have seen over the past decades. It's almost as if they're far right people LARPing as centrists or Bernie bros in the hope of alienating people on the left.
'Oh sure, the right wing are doing all sorts of authoritarian s**t in every country they take power in, passing law after law designed to silence and disenfranchise their opponents, but leftists MAY be bad if they suddenly abandon everything they believe in and turn around and do everything that's been done to them for most of the twentieth century! They could be bad so they're both the same guys!'
When conservatives moan about cancel culture, this is what it actually looks like. The goal is to end left wing protests by any means necessary and they will keep pushing this, tweaking until they can make it law. These are the same people who appointed someone to head up the state broadcaster who said he was planning to 'make comedy more balanced', and low and behold, they've started cancelling left wing shows.
Insincere squealing about free speech and fairness are nothing but tools for getting centrists onside. Give them power to do as they please and they will start doing everything they can with to weaponise the law in order to silence their foes.
She is spectacularly ghastly, even for a tory, but there isn't a decent human being left in the party, Boris purged anyone with a functioning conscience before the last election, now here we are.
Cue EA 'solving' the problem of their own creation by offering a diamond edition for $500 a pop, a thousand bucks cheaper than buying them from employees and likely ten thousand cheaper than getting them from lootboxes.
Cancel culture has gone too far! It's getting as though people can't voice their opinions on matters of the day without being attacked and silenced by the woke left... Oh, wait, it's Trump rying to silence people, therefore fiine.
Hopefully Elon will get a billion dollars in taxpayer dollars so he can 'invent' the concept of sarcasm for you, understanding it will probably be a little easier for you them.
That came from his other heavily subsidised companies. But you're right, I should pull myself up by the bootstraps the Elon Musk way, arrive in a foreign land with a pocket full of emeralds, the backing of family wealth built from robbing Africa and the dream of turning the advantage of unearned wealth brings into even more wealth.
I get the feeling that Elon Musk could blot out the sun and people would leave comments saying how he had to do for the benefit of mankind and people had no right to expect light and heat from space to always be there, and maybe Elon can be persuaded to provide those things he took away if it's sold to him in a way that benefits him. Oh and the subsidies for his sunblocker company are entirely justified as they don't go directly to him, he just reaps the benefits from the companies that receive them.
Don't worry, 5g will save them and solve all of America's connectivity woes.. Oh wait.
If people in Kentucky want better broadband, maybe it would help if they stop electing people who fight to protect monopolies, ban municipal broadband and kill things like Net Neutrality.
'Parler was willing to engage in some censorship based on certain criteria, such as calling for violent acts to be committed.
So they banned all the capitol rioters, militias, Qanon supporters who want the entire left to be rounded up, and evangelicals calling for LGBTQ+ people to 'be harmed, they banned people like Alex Jones who cheerlead for violent insurrection every chance they get?
Re: Re: Re: Remember, disagreement is not violence
Conservatives are even adding 'false flag fairytales to their sad justifications for censorship now. Nothing conservatives do is ever unjustified or ever their fault.
Given all we know about how thin skinned Mr. Nunes is, and how the republicans love to use the machinery against their perceived enemies, I'm sure he was filing requests with the DOJ on a daily basis, asking for investigations into people who looked at him the wrong way on the street.
And given all we know about Bill Barr, he likely complied.
One side is in positions of power across all levels of government, cemented into place by gerrymandering and voter suppression so they can hold power without ever getting the majority of the votes. The other exists somewhere maybe in absolutely miniscule numbers, holding no power whatsoever and getting shouted down on forums by others on the same side of the political spectrum for their tankie bulls**t because they make it harder to get even the slightest scrap of reform done.
One extreme has been embraced by their party and is making their lunacy into law. The other extreme exists on the internet if you look hard enough at the comments section of anything chapo related... Yeah, they're both absolutely the same.
Rupert Murdoch realised that despite his pest efforts, the english speaking portion of the western world hasn't been driven far enough to the right for him to be able to maintain his income and position of power and influence in the internet age. He's rich, sure, but he had his newspapers to hold over politicians as he's demonstrated he's able to bring down governments with a few calls but with their audience on the wane, he's not as scary as he used to be, so rather than outright buying politicians like the Mercers, the Kochs, Aaron Banks and others, he's using his influence to turn his propaganda outlets into a protected monopoly, a privately owned state publisher/broadcaster, that only benefits one side of the political spectrum.
He wants his outlets to be embedded by law into the flesh of whatever new media arises like a racist tick, sucking blood while telling anyone that will listen that non white people are the reason they have problems. I look forward for the laws requiring the Fox News or other Newscorp aps be installed by default on all mobile phones and be completely unbannable from ap stores. You know that's coming.
