are you from austria?

2018-10-30 17:02:02 UTC

(and cause ppl want to use it to spread panic about islamification)

2018-10-30 17:02:06 UTC

nope, germany

2018-10-30 17:02:27 UTC

can you cite some cases from recent? you seem sure

2018-10-30 17:02:54 UTC

โ€œ Instagram is the Alt-Rightโ€™s new favorite haven โ€œ by Will Sommer on the Daily Beast

Gab refugees move to Instagram while the website rebuilds itself. The media is now targeting them by putting pressure on the โ€œ havenโ€ . Expect this to happen everywhere.

2018-10-30 17:03:17 UTC

what happened to Gab?

2018-10-30 17:04:35 UTC

it would be hilarious if instagram would go down too ๐Ÿ˜„

2018-10-30 17:04:59 UTC

the only two cases that got international attention were Manfred Deix, and Gerhard Haderer
both for criticising Jesus and Christianity, both got convicted but won the appeal

2018-10-30 17:04:59 UTC

this would bring censorship to the 'masses'

2018-10-30 17:05:28 UTC

@shinsoo any citation? what year was this in?

2018-10-30 17:07:00 UTC

1994, 2003

2018-10-30 17:08:08 UTC

gtg, i'll look for an article on Haderer later

2018-10-30 17:10:35 UTC

trump to remove birthright citizenship in spite of constitution

2018-10-30 17:10:51 UTC

@AdorableStormtrooper the short answer to what happened is this.

Gab has been Alex Jonesed

The media, Big Tech, and activists are trying to erase it from the internet.

2018-10-30 17:11:51 UTC

they're really going Authoritarian while they have the power right now

2018-10-30 17:12:27 UTC

Holy fucking shit, this is the 5th time someone brought up the birthright thing

2018-10-30 17:12:35 UTC

Is it really that big?

2018-10-30 17:12:37 UTC

Full blown. Ultimately they will fail. But things will be bad for years.

2018-10-30 17:12:50 UTC

one would think that contradicting the constitution would be a big deal

2018-10-30 17:13:27 UTC

And you get people trying to ban guns by quoting their own definition of the constitutions.

2018-10-30 17:13:29 UTC

Itโ€™s going to get stalled in the courts regardless. Itโ€™s a wast of time

2018-10-30 17:13:31 UTC

So basically, another day

2018-10-30 17:13:54 UTC

As if the Constitution still applies, there's literal Racial Discrimination and a Surveillance State built into American Law now

2018-10-30 17:14:02 UTC

^^

2018-10-30 17:14:21 UTC

The govt doesn't need to take permission of the Congress to launch Wars

2018-10-30 17:14:22 UTC

2nd Amendment has been fucked for decades too

2018-10-30 17:14:34 UTC

1st got temp fucked in WW1

2018-10-30 17:14:44 UTC

Fixed 40ish years ago

2018-10-30 17:14:44 UTC

@AdorableStormtrooper not sure state surveillance goes against the constitution? explain

2018-10-30 17:14:52 UTC

4th amendment

2018-10-30 17:15:20 UTC

"unreasonable searches and seizures"? I spose that makes sense yeah

2018-10-30 17:15:26 UTC

yup, right against unreasonable search and seizures

2018-10-30 17:15:27 UTC

the 9th circuit court will chew up any attempt to revoke the 14th.

2018-10-30 17:15:49 UTC

SCotUS can counterfuck the 9th

2018-10-30 17:15:58 UTC

I agree that it's uh, a total violation of the American ideal of e pluribus unum.

2018-10-30 17:16:02 UTC

didn't Trump put some Judges in the 9th Circuit? not enough?

2018-10-30 17:16:03 UTC

Which is what people are banking on I suspect

2018-10-30 17:16:26 UTC

Not only this but even if you want some form of restricted jus soli.

2018-10-30 17:16:28 UTC

Which is fine.

2018-10-30 17:16:40 UTC

I disagree but that's an argument that can be had I think, sure.

2018-10-30 17:16:50 UTC

Even then the idea of forcing constitutional changes through the executive branch.

2018-10-30 17:16:57 UTC

It isn't the executive branch's perogative to legislate.

2018-10-30 17:17:10 UTC

jus soli is dumb, no one has it now except US and Canada, you're just begging people to take advantage of this arrangement

2018-10-30 17:17:28 UTC

I love the 'conservatives' who rightfully critiqued Obama's expansion of executive power now seemingly have no criticism here.

2018-10-30 17:17:36 UTC

Hey go figure.

2018-10-30 17:17:43 UTC

Who'd want to be fucking consistent.

2018-10-30 17:18:04 UTC

Thank God im not a Conservative :D

2018-10-30 17:18:23 UTC

'No one has it besides the US and Canada'.

2018-10-30 17:18:27 UTC

Whelp, that's not true.

2018-10-30 17:18:31 UTC

i can see your point tho

2018-10-30 17:18:36 UTC

who else got it

2018-10-30 17:19:10 UTC

Dominantly south and central american countries. No European countries come to mind.

2018-10-30 17:19:12 UTC

Tbh I see some value in people abusing precedent

2018-10-30 17:19:21 UTC

Though several European countries have restricted jus soli.

2018-10-30 17:19:35 UTC

Most of them only see a problem that they are getting a solution to.

2018-10-30 17:19:45 UTC

Without noticing the mount of power this gives the govt

2018-10-30 17:19:47 UTC

But, Mexico, Jamacia, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Bolivia, Belize, Argentina etc.

2018-10-30 17:19:49 UTC

macho the hypocrisy on both sides is at least consistent who can forget many liberals calling dick cheney darth cheney for expanding the suvielance state then not giving a shit when obama did it

2018-10-30 17:19:51 UTC

Lot more.

2018-10-30 17:19:59 UTC

I agree, Roman.

2018-10-30 17:20:01 UTC

Entirely.

2018-10-30 17:20:22 UTC

people will contort their views on many issues depending on which party is in power

2018-10-30 17:20:30 UTC

Honestly, I agree as well, I think its gonna just waste time, but well, trump has proved me wrong alot of times so....

2018-10-30 17:20:31 UTC

lol at a whole generation of leftists twiddling their thumbs and reposting 'Thanks obama' memes while the National Defense Authorization Act was being ratified in 2012.

2018-10-30 17:20:36 UTC

Everyone is full of shit.

2018-10-30 17:21:17 UTC

But right now in the context of jus soli that's a whataboutism.

2018-10-30 17:21:20 UTC

Even if I hate the DNC.

2018-10-30 17:22:14 UTC

just look at the economy in 05 when unemployment was low and stock market was high gop would praise the economy and dems would be what about wage stagnation and then when in 2015 the stock market was high and unemployment low people would just switch arguements and now that trump is president people on both sides flipped their arguement a 2nd time

2018-10-30 17:22:33 UTC

Yup, very true.

2018-10-30 17:22:52 UTC

The DNC ignored the debt and unfunded liabilities issues from 2008 - 2016.

2018-10-30 17:23:09 UTC

Now Republicans are ignoring it and the DNC posits itself as the party of financial responsibility.

2018-10-30 17:23:24 UTC

Could go on and on with examples like that, it's never ending hypocriscy.

2018-10-30 17:23:45 UTC

truth is both parties are just living on debt bubbles,only question is when this one pop's

2018-10-30 17:23:49 UTC

But that aside that doesn't excuse the total thumb-twiddling of the right now on executive over-reach.

2018-10-30 17:24:01 UTC

And I say this as someone who is 'of the right'.

2018-10-30 17:25:06 UTC

trump has taken full ownership of the economy and will go down badly as bush in 92 if their is a recession in the next 2 years

2018-10-30 17:25:34 UTC

I mean we're overdue for a recession.

2018-10-30 17:25:51 UTC

This is the longest we've gone with a business cycle correction since before the Great Depression.

2018-10-30 17:25:59 UTC

We're in entirly uncharted economic waters.

2018-10-30 17:26:39 UTC

Obama's admin and Ben Bernake / Janet Yellen will have a lot to do with the next business cycle but you won't hear analysis like this on partisan news.

2018-10-30 17:26:51 UTC

Especially with this guy as you said taking full ownership of the economy.

2018-10-30 17:27:42 UTC

longest we've gone without a business cycle correction*.

2018-10-30 17:28:44 UTC

Schiff is still waiting

2018-10-30 17:29:21 UTC

Ahahaha.

2018-10-30 17:29:25 UTC

Poor Schiff.

2018-10-30 17:29:42 UTC

He's not wrong in theory, but timing these events is nigh on impossible.

2018-10-30 17:30:10 UTC

Well he's been wrong about the adjustments of gold prices compared to USD.

2018-10-30 17:30:12 UTC

Oh absolutely, I think the collapse is inevitable

2018-10-30 17:30:22 UTC

For the moment, anyway.

2018-10-30 17:30:26 UTC

Doubly so wrt the collapse of my own country, Canada

2018-10-30 17:30:29 UTC

I mean, that's complicated.

2018-10-30 17:30:31 UTC

We're turbofucked

2018-10-30 17:30:43 UTC

We could still correct course.

2018-10-30 17:30:45 UTC

But uh.

2018-10-30 17:30:48 UTC

Unlikely that we will.

2018-10-30 17:30:50 UTC

Unlikely

2018-10-30 17:30:52 UTC

Yeah

2018-10-30 17:31:05 UTC

I've got to get me a coffee and some breakfast.

2018-10-30 17:31:08 UTC

I'll be back, fellows.

2018-10-30 17:57:40 UTC

I knew about this for months

2018-10-30 18:00:52 UTC

And @Atkins because Republicans know how to aim. (Bad joke I know don't @ me)

2018-10-30 18:19:33 UTC

Thank god for informative headlines

2018-10-30 18:20:21 UTC

Also whitey? Pretty interesting nickname

2018-10-30 18:20:27 UTC

Mob boss. Spent 16 years running from the law. Real bad hombre.

2018-10-30 18:20:58 UTC

Fair enough, but what about that nickname?

2018-10-30 18:21:18 UTC

He had white hair?

2018-10-30 18:21:32 UTC

Damn, I was hoping for something more exciting

2018-10-30 18:21:38 UTC

Whitey's dead and not a tear was shed...

2018-10-30 19:05:43 UTC

This is "James Damore 2.0" guy from apple

2018-10-30 19:46:59 UTC

well, supposedly. I doubt everything about a twitter account with 4 posts and a reddit acount with 3

2018-10-30 19:47:00 UTC

Proof will be needed

2018-10-30 19:47:41 UTC

Proof of identity

2018-10-30 20:05:40 UTC

I have just updated to MacOS Mojave, which added a news app.

When adding new topics, these are the top sources that come up.


Is Apple joining the freight of big tech companies trying to steer public opinion and advocate specific news outlets?

I see Fox News in there, but if those were the only news outlets one would consume, it would be a very skewed view of current events.

2018-10-30 20:07:44 UTC

When I search for "Breitbart" in the new app, I get Breitbart as a news source, but all the stories suggested to me appear to be slamming "right wing news outlets".

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/398858182455459853/506922172724543493/Screen_Shot_2018-10-30_at_9.06.59_PM.png

2018-10-30 20:09:07 UTC

Apple hasn't really been in the news about trying to filter news and opinions as much as other tech giants. I wonder if they will add their weight to the other big companies that seem to be abusing their influence to steer political opinion.

2018-10-30 20:10:00 UTC

Also, when searching for alternative news outlets, I get stories on feminism and breastfeeding instead.

2018-10-30 20:10:35 UTC

Conservative Lifesite is facing attempts to take them out:
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/urgent-lifesite-is-under-attack

2018-10-30 21:18:29 UTC

Not to point out the obvious, but that really isn't trying to steer public opinion so much as it is trying to get rid of outlets that blatently print out false pieces of information

2018-10-30 21:43:47 UTC

any news aggregate that lists Breitbart would be making itself look silly

2018-10-30 22:22:45 UTC

Oh, please, let the next generation read about the Danish-Iranian War.

2018-10-30 22:27:46 UTC

Not a popular narrative as it could been seen as support for Trump lead sanctions on Iran

2018-10-30 22:36:48 UTC

Isn't Canada currently in poor relations with some middle eastern country over something trudeau did?

2018-10-30 23:00:14 UTC

I think this is what your referring to.

2018-10-30 23:14:34 UTC

I think it's pretty obvious with the murder at the consulate in Istanbul that it wasn't something Trudeau did. Trudeau was responding to the situation in Yemen. Now the assassination.

2018-10-30 23:15:29 UTC

And I found this a very clear rebuke of the idea of an executive order rescinding right of soil citizenship

Note the writer is their most conservative editorialist, Marc Thiessen

2018-10-30 23:16:45 UTC

What were the previous rulings on situations like this?

2018-10-30 23:17:03 UTC

When American Indians gave birth on claimed American lands, did they get American citizenship?

2018-10-30 23:17:12 UTC

After the 14th, yes

2018-10-30 23:18:22 UTC

Native Americans are Americans by right of soil

2018-10-30 23:18:43 UTC

And even Chinese laborers were determined to fit within the 14th in 1898.

2018-10-30 23:18:46 UTC

And they were given this right by the 14th amendment?

2018-10-30 23:19:21 UTC

The 14th Amendment put an end to the games that were played saying slaves could never be citizens or Indians could never be citizens.

2018-10-30 23:19:47 UTC

As intended at the time it was intended to say that if you were born here, you're a citizen

2018-10-31 00:34:25 UTC

thats interesting, but how trustworthy is this source

2018-10-31 00:44:27 UTC

I have no idea

2018-10-31 00:44:35 UTC

I was just laughing at it.

2018-10-31 00:44:38 UTC

They lie as they breathe.

2018-10-31 01:36:05 UTC

Yep. Proud Boys are more diverse than Antifa but they're apparently racist.

2018-10-31 01:36:14 UTC

Wonder if Antifa still has facebook pages.

2018-10-31 01:36:53 UTC

Facebook where being all white is all right with us

No

2018-10-31 02:36:23 UTC

2018-10-31 02:38:26 UTC

If only there was some kind of test for crazy.

"Trump supporters offer nothing in terms of discussion because they're too chicken shit to admit they hate minorities. I honestly have nothing to gain from someone who supports white supremacy and wants to pretend they don't."

2018-10-31 08:08:30 UTC

"Being a white supremacist has always been bannable on ERA.

They do tend to give people a little too much plausible deniability though."

2018-10-31 08:08:59 UTC

"For the most part its kinda hard to be a Trump supporter and defend it without catching a ban. For example if you were a Trump supporter and made supportive posts about him in a thread about the economy that's whatever because its the economy, not relevant to TOS. However if you were a Trump supporter and tried to defend his transgender military ban then you would almost certainly catch a ban as your defense of that policy would almost certainly be against TOS and by extension the moral values of most of the userbase. So you can get away with it but its pretty damn telling when they avoid certain threads like the plague."

2018-10-31 08:09:46 UTC

"Well support of Trump is by its nature a support of fascism, bigotry, and abject cruelty towards subjugated classes, so I see no issue with this."

2018-10-31 08:10:05 UTC

"Dope policy.

Not saying it doesn't need to be applied here but most Trump supporters here usually get banned or can't even have a logical argument without being wilfully ignorant/disingenuous so they either lurk or go somewhere else. The few big ones from the old site that actually have accounts here don't even bother."

2018-10-31 08:10:40 UTC

How are we supposed to have a discussion if we are banned everywhere and people are constantly trying to shut us down, even when we go to other sites, like Gab?

2018-10-31 08:11:14 UTC

How can you even debate someone who thinks you are a Nazi simply for voting for Trump?

2018-10-31 08:12:26 UTC

"Banned support of Trump?

Nothing of value lost."

2018-10-31 08:12:50 UTC

"I mean at this point, what does supporting Trump make you? A racist, sexist, short-sighted, egoistic, likely less-than-average intelligent "human" being.

I'm okay with banning support of Trump."

"So by analogy we shouldn't ban child pornography, because it's a slippery slope and someone else might ban pictures of cute kittens?"

2018-10-31 08:14:08 UTC

Proisrael, antisemite/nazi

"When have you EVER seen a Trump supporter here?

The admins do a great job of shutting
down dog whistle talking points. It just so happens that all of Trumpโ€™s talking points are dog whistles."

2018-10-31 08:15:22 UTC

"It's an admirable move. Ultimately lines have to be drawn, or evil people will continue to poison communities."

2018-10-31 08:15:40 UTC

So if a dogwhistle is something only a dog can hear

2018-10-31 08:15:48 UTC

and they hear racism any time someone talks, but conservatives don't

2018-10-31 08:15:51 UTC

doesn't that mean they're the racists

2018-10-31 08:16:06 UTC

"Ever tried speaking with them about social issues? They're as honest and interested in the conversation as the man himself.

There is no debating with these people. And your last line? When it comes down to it, that is what they're doing.by default."


So there is no debating us - and that is why you ban us all?

We can't fucking debate you if you BAN US!

How fucking retarded are those people?

2018-10-31 08:17:30 UTC

Well, they want safe spaces.

2018-10-31 08:17:46 UTC

Honestly, all these movements help Trump anyway

2018-10-31 08:19:17 UTC

"f you voted for a man who admitted to sexual assault on tape, youโ€™re kind of a piece of garbage to be honest and probably donโ€™t deserve a whole lot benefit of the doubt. You could have still voted for your local or state Republicans like a lot of people in Utah appeared to do, you just didnโ€™t have to vote for Trump."


Trump talked about women throwing themselves at rich people. Hillary was the one who actually defended a rapist, and the part "if they let you" was edited out by the MSM.

2018-10-31 08:19:52 UTC

Honestly why you doing this anyway?

2018-10-31 08:20:10 UTC

Doing what?

2018-10-31 08:20:11 UTC

Nothing you say here will change anybody's minds since most here already agreew ith you

2018-10-31 08:20:38 UTC

And the people there are already entrenched in their mindset in an environment that makes it impossible for anybody to retort

2018-10-31 08:20:57 UTC

This is the news channel. This appears to qualify as news, very relevant news, because the mass banning has reached fever pitch.

2018-10-31 08:21:07 UTC

I am not writing this to change anyone's mind. I am writing this to give people a picture what is going on.

2018-10-31 08:21:22 UTC

Yeah fair enough.. I just feel the second hand facepalming

2018-10-31 08:21:50 UTC

Honestly, I wouldnt be negatvie about a blanket no politics rule

2018-10-31 08:22:05 UTC

I also want to illustrate how these people think.

2018-10-31 08:22:05 UTC

But banning one side is very disengenuos

2018-10-31 08:22:10 UTC

"If you still support Trump, nobody owes you a platform. Everyone โ€œunderstandsโ€ them perfectly so why allow them to continue spamming their rhetoric on any site? Theyโ€™re not interested in debate as much as theyโ€™re interested in owning the libs with well rehearsed talking points from their Trump subreddit"

2018-10-31 08:22:24 UTC

They are saying the same things about us as we do about them.

2018-10-31 08:22:37 UTC

Hmm thats a good point

2018-10-31 08:24:42 UTC

Honestly I cant take it seriously when someone supports fascist policies but calls other people fascist.

2018-10-31 08:25:07 UTC

Well, maybe not fascist but authoritharian

2018-10-31 08:25:23 UTC

dissonance

2018-10-31 08:25:44 UTC

it's like believing black people can't help but commit crimes and the cops are racists for enforcing the law on them

2018-10-31 08:25:47 UTC

I am actually a minority that they would bestow protected status on.

2018-10-31 08:25:56 UTC

And my life was destroyed by SJWs.
