the "goal" is or just a direction they pull rather than a target

usually

I agree in those terms, I like free market, I like limited government

every group has the extremes

I just don’t like anarchistic ideals

I don’t like pure democracy

I don’t like things that are easily corruptable

i mean, how do you get a limited government without pulling towards anarchy?

That’s why I pick and choose bits and pieces

You cant

And that’s a contradiction on my part

But it’s a valid contradiction

I want to pull it back to a balance point

what is "balanced"

Who knows 😂

Trial and error my dude

The US is the best we’ve got right now

But the ideal of freedom has been lost

well, then you are like most libertarians i imagine, pull towards the extreme until it starts causing one of the other principles to be violated, then pull it back.

government got too much power, lets pull towards anarchy

Something like that

government doesn't have enough power to protect individual rights, lets pull back toward large government

My 8 values sits me in liberalism and my political compass sits me centre left libertarian

If that gives you an idea

I think I was half way down and 3 squares over

a constant ebb and flow will have you average out around the balance point without ever really being at the balance point.

Yeah it’s the best we can do

It’s not ideal but there is no perfect system

The best we can try to accomplish is to secure protections for people so it doesn’t over correct into authoritarianism

you don't want a "perfect" system, you want a malleable one as perfect changes often.

must like a stick, balanced on your finger, will usually teeter-totter on either side of the balance point, so too should society.

I 100% agree

in fact, to not teeter-totter requires force

because your hand is always trembling, ever slightly, much like life over time

Gonna post this here

People are stupid

There are two things I will always be behind. The right to self defence and the means to acquire what is necessary to do so and the right to freely express yourself

almost 250K to this slimeball

wonder if you can prove that breaks gofundme ToS

Anyway @Grenade123 I’m off anyway, it’s late in my shithole country 😂 good talk ✌🏼

Just be a piece of shit and have people throw money at you.

"Republicans have not been able to produce any evidence that Strzok or anyone else took any official action that was biased, unfair or inappropriate…"

guess he wasn't involved with dropping the ball on Hillary's emails then eh?

Don't be too sad.

Most of that money is probably posturing.

"The democrat party is still strong guys!!"

"why do they keep put sourcing manufacturing to china"?! Because they don't give a fuck about you or the environment https://m.imgur.com/gallery/sW1Eqcv

youtube suppressed my video about jordan peterson being smeared

woop

WHAT?!

Youtube?

You take that back!

I forget where I saw it, but I remember reading one of those articles about the civil war within Google. Apparently Team Youtube has been trying to put down Jordan Peterson for awhile but he's too big.

It would make sense if they are trying to stop other people from talking about him.

dansgame

At one point they removed everything Jordan had

His gmail, everything

It didn't pass the scream test.

People screamed.

And so they reverted everything

"OOPSIE. WE DIDN'T MEAN TA."

... Imagine all the people this happened to who AREN'T famous.

Yeah, congress needed to declare massive social media a public square *yesterday*

They're 'private companies theycandowhattheywant' as I'm hearing.

But as private people, we can go ahead and never let them hear the end of it.

why are these major tech companies filled with sjws anyway?

Weakness.

San Francisco Bay Area.

So funny story...The guy who coined the term Net Neutrality and proposed regulating the telecoms singled out Google as another company in need of net neutrality regulation.

But the net neutrality regs Obama made wouldn't have affected the tech companies.

Unsurprisingly, they were the ones pushing net neutrality and funding battleforthenet.com

But what's good for the goose...

People are douches.

@YuXiang They hire CS majors from very established Unis. Unis that are nothing but SJW indoctrination at this point.

Add to that a generally Democrat alignment....you get the idea.

College degrees being necessary, causes this.

They don't monitor the MANDATORY HALLS they call for people walking through.

"Uh just go over there for 2+ years and come back."

Google also had a head of culture. I'm willing to bet that didn't last long before the SJWs took over that post. They tend to be drawn to those sorts of jobs.

Google's been a household name since like 2003.

That said, I have no evidence of that either way.

For awhile, they weren't beholden.

I think Gamergate was the death knell

I remember this appearing at the time

And it being a VERY new dark direction for Google

Maybe they were always lowkey like this

But there was a sharp pivot in public image after this.

I don't think anyone can deny that Gamergate changed everything, permanently.

Oh jeez. I just looked up Google Ideas. *shiver*

Google playing geopolitics. Literally.

We *live* in the cyberpunk dystopia.

Anyway, Google Ideas (now Jigsaw) was originally designed to fight censorship. But now does things like automatically sort out 'toxic comments'

We live?

No sir..

that statement by sundar pichai denouncing james damore

gave me shivers

what a shill
