    It does for you with ICE.
    But let's go with it for the sake of argument.
    Go somewhere else.
    Or make your own TK style free-for-all-melee forum.
    Oh, those places are Nazi shitholes, and you don't go there.
    Libertarianism can't exist without parasiting off of a lawful society.
    Forums are just the petri dish that proves it.

    UA needs a place where he can air his grievances. He can't do that on Nazi sites because they'll agree with him and suddenly it might seem like someone will want to do something. So he goes where he will get pushback, attention, responses. Without this forum he'd be nothing. He needs us even as we don't need him.

    Based on nothing but your own fiction, which you are using to derail with irrelevant crap because you,ve got nothing.


    And now we gotta talk about other message boards, political parties and any other goddamn thing that allows you sidestep your dickriding for censorious authoritarian hall monitors.

    Freedom of speech applies to political speech being censored by the state.
    Like protestors being shot in the face by ICE.
    Which you'll object to, but lamely with an eyeroll after having a hot poker practically shoved up your ass.

    Yep. I saw these around our town a year or so ago and didn't know what they were, and of course now we're getting a data center. A town of less than 10,000 people will have a 141 acre data center to suck up our water and give us internet congestion and brownouts.

    Free speech applies to everyone. You don't retain the moral high ground by nut gargling corporate entities who silence people.

    Yeah, it does, but you don't follow that rule.
    You only throw yourself in front of the bigots.
    Whether it's on the assumption that the freedom of the non-bigots will "just sort itself out" or whether you're a bigot, I don't give a shit anymore.
    The former is fucktarded, and ends up with the same exact results as the latter.
    Fuck you either way.

    Phil Donahue believed in airing all views, and he had the bigots on his show, but he also let the studio audience and the phone in callers grill them like fucking hamburgers.
    He didn't pat their heads, and read them a bedtime story.

    Bullshit.

    That's the only time your selective vision notices. And you're not shaming anyone with that "bigot" line when you are the type of irrational fucktard to call everything but placating and pandering "bigotry."

    That is all complete fiction, born of your chickenshit refusal to admit the obvious fact that you think only people you agree with should be allowed to express themselves.

    These things generally are rolled out gradually and it’s entirely possible that this is a US only thing for the moment.

    I wish it was that simple but there are a lot of moving parts and in-the-weeds details that can be got through only so fast but I'll try.

    Headline (no context or details):
    An agency run by a DOGE alumnus (previously involved in illegal access to 'Muricans' data) is building an alternative set of government web sites (all registered to Trump's executive office) including the one dealing with passports and the one-account-to-rule-them-all login process for government sites. A private company with no congressional or regulatory oversight is going to "own" the data of millions of 'Muricans.

    There's a LOT more to it, but not that can be covered in a blurb.

    You really should make the time to watch the whole video.
    An obsession with "convenience" is one of the ways our government has conditioned our acceptance of their shitbaggery.
