This is hilarious, thank you for brightening my day with your humor.

Including your empty guestroom, presumably? After all, no one's using it. Or is it only other people who have to deal with criminal invaders?

I'm sure Musk wants his money too.

Until you need one to defend you from... another lawyer.

A pattern emerges

Because they demonstrate that race Y is overwhelmingly more likely to commit violent crimes against race X, while the media/government narrative is currently that race X is the biggest threat to the country.

You say family members died because of Nazis, then trivialize actual Nazism by insinuating that I may be one, because I dislike people casually using that term!

It sounds as though blood pressure medication isn't the only type of medication you may require.

I can tell you're struggling, so I'll try to make it even simpler.

Normal beliefs (kids don't belong in sexually charged drag shows) are being tagged as "Nazi".

Certain factions have deemed it acceptable to commit unprovoked violence against anyone labeled thusly, accurate or no.

Do you deny this, or not understand? If so, you will continue to struggle in confusion, because it's an incredibly clear concept and phenomena and harder to make much simpler than that.

It's the very peculiar, very strenuous insistence that children watch, and participate, as men cavort in women's clothes in a sexually charged manner.

Followed by the vilification of people with quite reasonable concerns as "transphobes" (a fireable, deplatformable, censorable offense) and "Nazis" (who have been deemed acceptable targets of unprovoked violence).

But for that, most Americans would go back to not caring. Regrettably, some don't understand the concept of boundaries or restraint, or think it doesn't apply to them. Possibly because we have many in the media/entertainment industry, government, and education system telling them that they're right.

For not being in the same leagues as the big boys, they have outsized power to twist and shape political narratives, they know it and they gleefully exercise it.

Consider the fact that their CEO (admittedly!) abused his admin privileges to fraudulently impersonate users, posting fake messages AS them, expressly to frame them.

We would not know about it, and he might still be doing it today if not for some observant moderators. But nothing happened to him, at all - in fact the people and subreddit he hacked were themselves banned.

THAT is power. THAT is what is meant by "big tech".

Interesting result. Will we see other companies sue cities for the results of disastrous social policies in the future? It's certainly a target-rich environment.

Or is this a unique situation unlikely to be repeated? Was this settled to avoid a legal precedent that could be used by other victims of half-baked social experimentation?

Interesting details.

It's like restaurant workers deciding to strike, and turning on all the gas stoves and putting food in the fryers before walking out.

They're not fools. They know it will be their preferred party (as indicated by employee, corporate, and in-kind donations) making those claims next cycle, just as happened after their chosen candidate lost in 2016.

Thus, the kid gloves go back on.

Keep in mind their CEO fraudulently impersonated Reddit users by logging into their accounts and posting as them, and Reddit was just fine with this.

They seem to be fully aware of what they're doing and what they're about.

We have in recent memory seen valid criticisms against, for example, Kamala Harris dismissed as racist/sexist, criticisms of Ilhan Omar as "islamophobic", criticisms of George Soros as "anti-Semitic", criticisms of drag shows for kids and grown men in girl's dressing rooms as "transphobia" and "literal violence".

"Hate speech" is the new "think of the children". An easy (and socially acceptable, apparently) way to silence and smear critics.

You can't turn them off, at least from the app.

It sucks being spammed with things you'll never watch, and for me at least YouTube now three such boxes take up space: shorts, "mixes", and music videos.

They used to have an option to remove these items. Now the option is gone.

The bar to be deemed "fascist" is shockingly low nowadays. It's a claim that no one ever has to realistically support, and for which no one is ever penalized for slandering/libeling others.

Especially concerning as there is an organization that is known to harass, burn, terrorize, threaten, and assault those tagged with that label, be it accurate or not. Yet that doesn't stop both bloggers, politicians, and highly paid media commentators from tossing it out daily against their ideological foes.

Ironically they are the same folks who promote censorship based upon a theory of "stochastic terrorism".

From the article you linked:

"the legislation — passed Wednesday by the Legislature — makes it a felony for hate groups to harass people for their religion or ethnicity. Florida had the fourth-highest number of antisemitic incidents last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League."

He signed away his constituents' right to harass Jews?

And wasn't this bill already approved by the legislature?

One can already imagine the headlines if he DIDN'T sign it. "Desantis vetoes bill protecting Jews from white supremacists".

Huh, that's not too different than the headlines one sees right now.

How progressive of them to voluntarily lower their own standard of living and national freedom and sovereignty. The small fraction of China, India, and US emissions that will be offset by this are certainly worth it!

We salute your sacrifice.

They are not even equivalent.

Every police department has internal affairs. Most have a citizen's oversight counsel. Plus, they are overseen by state and federal agencies which frequently attempt to maintain good policing (not saying they always succeed). Then we have the media to keep cops in check, the ACLU and SPLC who agitate for police reform and leniency for actual criminals, and hundreds of other anti-police organizations whose bread and butter is rooting out police corruption.

Thus far, there is no organization dedicated to tracking falsified and/or exaggerated claims of racial injustice or animus, claims which have directly led to dozens of deaths, billions in property damage, lawless cities where DAs dismiss charges against the same people dozens of times and a fractured society.

Why did Smollett lie about the race and political affiliation of his attackers? He was clearly trying to drum up violent reprisal against whites and conservatives. Smollett is but one prominent example; a Google search will lead to hundreds more. Are such incidents unworthy of being tracked? Why?
