The problem is that America’s answer to every problem in society is jail. You guys gotta come up with more than “arrest bad guys”.

Yeah I remember this happening with Snapchat, people were being arrested for those kinds of posts made in private messages to their friends, because they still get scanned and flagged.

It’d probably work like it did in Australia.

Twitter = Arab Spring because it lets them use cheap SMS flipphones!

They did. That’s why they spent so much effort to ruin the internet these past few years.

News came before the internet, so they state sources, not link them, which they did in the first sentence:

Oct 1 (Reuters) - A growing number of people think social media manipulates and divides people and harms democracy, Pew Research Center said ​on Thursday

I still say we need to bring back banishment. Negotiate with Canada to let America use Baffin Island as like a new Australia, but way, way colder.

That document doesn’t say anything about the funding of a trade union by the CIA. Interesting document nonetheless about what the CIA thought about labour unrest in France in the 1950’s though.

Important to consider that this is in the 1950’s, during Stalin’s brutal reign, when he famously said “Tsar Alexander made it all the way to Paris.” To most of the world, he looked like another Hitler dressed in a different colour.

That Landman show, the one where Billy Bob Thorton literally tilts at windmills, and goes off on this whole speech filled with falsehoods, had oil companies in the credits.

Damn, Plato wrote Silo?

One time in high school this girl came up to our lunch table and said “isn’t it funny how white people have no culture?” so I looked at the only other white guy at the table and sang the first line to this song, and then he sang back. We had never even discussed it before, lucky guess that he knew it. Everyone else asked wtf that was and I said “oh you wouldn’t understand, it’s a white people thing”.

Toms Hardware is a corporate propaganda op anyway.

No, soldering’s my hobby. The thing I do in my free time instead of jerking off, if you will. So I build a lot of not-really-necessary electronics.

oh THAT’S what that song’s about!

I build things, electronics mostly. Then the next day I get to admire what yesterday-me built.

I bought a waterproof box, some touch sensors, and an esp32, and made a waterproof bluetooth remote i can keep in the shower. speaker and phone live outside, but i still get control.

They’re on the same team right now.

“would”

Yeah they try this all the time. But holy shit these comments acting like it’s already happened, and then gone into full blown USSR mode, are a bit inflammatory.

Did you forget about the Great Firewall?

Not that even it can defeat VPNs anyway.

…as opposed to the non-democratic worlds, which are already as fascist as you can get, right?
