CNN+ fails after a $300 million cost of launching their service, not to mention their acquisition by Warner Media. Oklahoma becomes the next state to ban abortions in the US. More to follow if the Supreme Court rewrites abortion laws or even overturns Roe v. Wade Elon Musk attempts to buy Twitter and addresses their censorship of opposing views, which are mostly conservative. States are asserting their authority over the Government by enacting their own laws to prevent the Biden Admin from destroying our county. Joe Biden reaches all time low approval ratings. Due to high gas prices / inflation / border crisis / inaction of the military overseas. The list goes on... It appears the Democrats are having a poor time doing anything right and it's showing. People are done with liberal policies and are fighting back. This November will be a changing of the guard. Disposing of the failed liberal policies of the left and starting a new. Things are happening. Slowly but surely! Says the man who claimed Trump would still be in office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not counting any chickens, just pointing out that you are the guy who declared that Trump wouldn't lose the last election and when he did, that somehow he would be back in office after just a few months. So when it comes to political questions you have a history of being morally wrong....and just wrong.

downzy Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 There are reports that there will be a mass exodus of people leaving Twitter once Musk takes over. We’ll see. I think he’s fucked. Everyone loves the concept of no guard rails and zero limits on expression until weirdos show up at your kid’s funeral to protest gay marriage. I’ve learned first hand that it’s a fantasy to believe that everyone wants to or should talk to everyone. Eventually people will find their little corners to talk to one another. Similar to this forum, the idea that there should be one place for everyone is a fantasy. It doesn’t work in practice. Reddit learned the same lesson. We’re moving to an increasingly demarcated world. The idea that there will be one platform for everyone is a very 1990s/2000s idea. It turns out most people don’t want to put up with assholes who have no interest in genuine conversation. So the assholes will have their playground and everyone else will have theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) some people are more equal than others opinions are only allowed, if they fit the narrative. dissenting opinions can not be tolerated, and are agressively removed. mass media is continually infusing fear and anger in our society; fear of terrorists, climate change, racists, heterosexual white men, viruses, wars. the proposed solution, is more control, more intolerance, more repression, and less dialogue, less face to face conversation, and less freedom of expression All these points, are not characteristics of a dictatorship, but of totalitarism. Totalitarism is much worse than a dictatorship. Totalitarism creeps up in our private lives, it destroys bonds between friends and family. totalitarism is only interested in the relation to the state, not in relations between people. the leader is not a dictator. A dictator does not really believe what he is preaching. A totalitarian does; the leader of a totalitarian state is, himself, a firm believer in their ideology. they want to conform reality to their ideology, as opposed to conforming their ideology to reality. Totalitarians really believe that what they are doing, is in the best interest of the people, since they firmly believe in their ideology themselves. To conform reality to their ideology, totalitarists show no restraints to make sure this happens. the individual in this model, is of total insignificance.

Late term abortion shouldn't be allowed. And the extreme protester types who say things like "lol let's go kill some babies tehe" etc are fucking morons because that's horrible, inflammatory and counterintuitive. All that being said, abortions are of course sadly sometimes necessary, especially if rape or incest is involved. People oppressing people's lives by pushing their moronic religious beliefs onto others is absolute bullshit. If I ever meet someone who thinks that's okay and supports women being locked up with these archaic, draconian, evil anti-abortion laws I will punch them in the mouth. I'm a devout Catholic and I'm pretty much on board with everything you said. The pro life movement should focus on the late term abortions as well as other programs to dissuade women from an abortion when there isn't rape or incest or health issues involved.

He's right in the sense that most people just want to discuss issues with people who more or less agree with them. I get it, but I think everyone of all political stripes needs to experience some cognitive dissonance every now and then. That's hard to do if you're in a political hugbox. And yes people who just want to push people's buttons without ever earnestly discussing any ideas are just the worst and tend to ruin things for everyone.

downzy Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I think this might be a case of careful what you wish for with Republicans. Most Americans want a legal form of abortion (to a certain point). This could upend mid-term and future races that make electing pro-life Republicans increasingly difficult in any district or state that isn't diehard Christian conservative. The impact of this decision will reverberate politically for decades to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
