Yeah that doesn't exactly narrow it down...

Atleast the brick wall doesn't misunderstand fallacies.

If Mattis wanted to stop Trump from doing something he'd tell him to his face. Mattis isn't some coward who would stoop to this shit.

Honestly, how much does it matter? There's probably a whole cabal. It may not have even been penned by someone we'd name recognize.

Like a 2nd or 3rd in command of some agency like the FBI.

I guess if an official did write it the upside is that it becomes hard for media to deny the existence of a 'deep state'.

They quit that story a little while ago.

Its now that the deep state is doing a patriotic duty to resist Trump.

We were always at war with Eurasia, Comrade

Dems are the reason Kavanaugh is getting in, the idiots thought to short term in changing the rules to get their own and now its backfiring

he seems like a good canedate anyway

so i dont mind

he isn't. trump nominated him 🙄

Those Senate rules could've been changed at any time. And it's not like Dems really care about the precedent or taking credit for it.

what DO the dems care about, though?

Winning.

Power.

having someone i agree with on gun regulation doesent hurt

So i know we are all freaking out about how the Dems are nuts and all, and while i largely agree, we gotta remember that Repubs got some nut jobs too. Like remember every presidency the loosing side says that they want to get rid of the electoral college

@devpav wrong

keep these things in perspective

they care about diversity

trans

inclusivity

lip service tbh

illegals

Pfft.

murders rapists etc]'

most establishment Dems arent serious about that stuff

they only advocate for votes

muh votes

propagating non issues so they can still have jobs

basically

muh racism

if racism disappears then they dont have a job

We gotta watch the newbies more

I wouldnt doubt there are some sane dems out there

we gotta amplify them

not gonna lie there used to be some sane ones not sure who is sane anymore

there are def some republicans who fucking suck

rubio fucking sucks

cruz sucks sometimes

thats just off the top of my head

i can name more shitty dems than repubs

What are the Dems going to use as a rallying cry after Trump's second term?

That's the real conundrum

idk

kanye might run

that'd be funny as fuck

Memes aside Do we want another celebrity running?

honestly .... no

Like oprah vs kanye

oprah would be too old and she prob has too many skeletons in her closet

corey booker is a black dildo

i used to like him

he had balls now hes just grandstanding

he might try to run against trump \

GOD NO

I want Mark Warner to run but im biased

He tends to be one of the more sane Dems

i dont know who mark warner is

Virginia Senator

need to see stuff on him

I want them to drain the youth out of some socialists and pump it into Ron Paul

That seems just

the other one, not Kaine

Kaine is meh

Ron Paul "ITS HABBENING"

Ron Paul .... man i memba when he was running for prez

Doom Paul memes are great

Ron Paul /b/

He didn't try to justify drones on US soil

Military drones specific ally

How's it going people?

Editing videos with Blender is weird

i might "torrent" Sony Vegas

but i need a new computer first

I would use Vegas, but it doesn't work on Ubuntu

i got it cheap on Humble Bundle but that passed before i even join this discord iirc

Mark Warner's internet regulation bill has me terrified.

oh?

link

We're talking *essentially banning anononmity*

He seemed kinda weird about that stuff

eeeh

tiiiime to write a letter lol

I don't have the axios link immediately offhand, but here's two articles on it.

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180731/10183940336/senator-mark-warner-lays-out-ideas-regulating-internet-platforms.shtml
https://reason.com/blog/2018/07/31/democrats-tech-policy-plans-leaked

They should link to the full proposal.

lol

Okay the way democrats are handling themselves...

What's this??

he tends to be willing to take bi-partisan approaches so we will see

There's only so much time on this left before complete and total heat death.

And not "death by heat" but "death by losing all heat, ever"

There's only two possible outcomes:
A) They knock this shit off.
B) They do not knock this shit off.

I have no idea what happens after B.

I was pretty meh on Warner until I saw his internet regulation proposals. All said, it's pretty well informed, which makes it only scarier, I can completely see any number of items making a final bill before the end of the next congress.

These memos scare me

I use Tor a lot

I like anonymity

Tor. Lol. Banned.

Can't let you see that. Might interfere with law enforcement. Or something.

@pratel yea you think i should write him, im a constituent after all

Without anonymity we can't get the best shit done.

Bitcoin was because of anonymity

What sane fucking person would want to lose it?

Too many

Well zoom out and think of the more basic applications

Have you ever had an embarrassing question?

Imagine always needing an identity to ask it.

What is the net gain from that?

Ryan Dotson asks "do girls like hentai too"

haha

nope

not happening

Personally, what I found most scary was using technology currently used to track Child Pornography to deal with "harmful content"

Imagine a world without statutes of limitations.

Essentially banning it everywhere and always

The reason they ever became a thing, is to depower those EXACT people we're dealing with right now.

PROFESSIONAL. ACCUSERS.

And requiring a great deal of understanding of the limitations and capabilities of technology.

We need a truly free network

Anonymity is a barricade against PROFESSIONAL. ACCUSERS.

The legacy infrastructure powering our internet today is not good

A place where ideas can roam free of reputation.

Free of some guy in a suit with some stupid face.

"I'm this guy in a suit with a stupid face, and this is what I think"

I hate that.

I'd hate to say all the stuff I've said on 8ch and 4chan in person, and have all the shit I've done tied to my name

I don't give a shit about your suit or your stupid face.

Fuckin'... get to the point. This isn't a fashion runway, fucko

I'll try to push the Internet Bill of Rights to Warner as an alternative

if anything

i gotta find one that's actually compelling though

also gotta get normies to support it

which is gonna be arguably more difficult

fug

dont do this to me Mark

We need a totally unregulated multimedia communication system

I liked this one, but it felt oversimplified. And I'm not a lawyer and have heard whispering I may not want to meet the guy who wrote it. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkHNrm4VAAE_YDu.jpg

Who wrote it?

"Josh Smith"

No idea who that is or if that's even a real name

I think shadowbanning should be illegal for humans.

Only BOTS shouldn't know their efforts are failing.

@Lagomaster24 Let me know if I can help somehow.

That's the only time I don't think shadowbans are insidious.

The answer to over regulation is not more regulation.

I don't think that regulating social media is going to help

On the other hand, I don't know what else will help, other than moving to better platforms

Y'know what'll help.

A paper bag with two holes.

FOR YO MAMA

@pratel will do i mostly need to find a good proposal to start with and go from there

@Scribblehatch Wowee.

🔥

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wisy_0svO5Y

should convicted criminals be banned?

this is assuming unreformed

Why should you ban criminals?

It's not a non-court's business.

just curious

Seriously. If someone is accused of rape, it's NEVER a good idea to go to the college first with it.

GO TO THE POLICE

They can enact the correct punishment. The college can only enact a diet coke punishment, so wtf?

there have been known pedos on twitter, so the question is whether they should be allowed

for example

Pedo or child molester

"What's the difference" H'boy

guy caught with cp twice

Well in that case it's against a rule, and against the law.

So you can do both, uncoordinated, and it's fine.

how bout if they are a murderer

--And this is neither here nor there, but I do wish they'd make more specific provisions, because I'm not clear if this would include FICTIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS or not.

ie eliot rogers

Supreme Court protected illustrations i heard

I think they take away your internet privileges when you're in prison. lol

truuuu

```Supreme Court protected illustrations i heard```
Oh sure, I know this.

so having an account is negligable

But plenty of people have been busted in the states anyway.

state laws yea

Over stupid loopholes, and the citizen's voice isn't loud enough to penetrate.

obscenity laws

Yeah, fuck those.

I think we've been ignoring them lately for the most part.

It's gotten just a SMIDGE too ridiculous to go after all these non-criminals.

its the new anti-miscegenation laws lol

I hate the idea of obcenity laws

in a sense

its semi-religious

My friend actually got convicted of cursing in the prescense of someone under 14

"This amount of EW YUCKY is fine. But this amount of EW YUCKY.. Well.. That's going too far..."

"Go to jail now."

"You EW YUCKY'D too much. And you should've known."

🙄

Obscenity laws can easily turn into blasphemy laws

Yes.

As can hate speech laws.

It's important to repeal them.

yep

I'm sick of the complacency.

We need to get rid of all speech limiting laws

Plenty we need to get rid of.

The divorce courts in their current form.

Not as well noted is that the middle east has been pushing hate speech laws as "Islamophobia" easily coincides with blasphemy in many cases.

we need to make 16 year olds legal

anyone?

lol

?

Taxes need to be reformed. But that's never gonna happen ever. You'd need a game show host as president.

random perv asking shit

And as we all know, Hillary won because she's a brave and powerful woman.

Take it out at the source in Europe and the US and the small, but growing not-quite-as-sure-of-the-extremes-of-the-faith-muslims-in-the-mid-east are forced to go much more into hiding

Ah taxes.

```we need to make 16 year olds legal
anyone?```
Have you like, checked a USA map

In half the states that IS legal.

Everyone has a favorite proposal and none of them work.

i wanted to be edgy and say 13

I'd rather not imagine that.

but this aint shitposting channel

But if I see you dating and proposing to a 16 year old and you're anything around 18 or older...

I love that China is bullying Muslims.

I wouldn't.

china bullies everybody

lol

Bullying people for religious reasons isn't really a good thing to do.

^

No fuck that.

Religion is not a race.

@Deleted User exactly.

China gonna make Muslims the new Jews if they arent careful

It's something you choose. It has beliefs. It can be functionally retarded.

they could martyr them

ISLAM. IS. RETARDED.

@Scribblehatch /pol/ detected

BULLY IT.

No they won't. They'll make them the new Tamil Tigers.

china bullies everybody that thinks of going against state goals

just by thinking

any action derived of thinking like that is illegal

Really, China goes after anything organized.

Someone try and say seriously that Islam is not a viral form of faith.

So any Christian churches not under the direct influence of the state and preaching to follow the state get the bullet too.

A violent, viral religion.

Try to type it without feeling you fingers snicker at you.

I mean, all religions that aren't in decline tend to grow.
