Of course he’d be funded... just like the majority of the mass protests.

The leaders are paid, the protesters are sheep

Have you watched any videos from “fleccas talks” or “nuance bro”

Hahahaha yeah it’s a weird situation with that bloke

It’s so obvious

Idk how people fall for it

Tim is from NY isn’t he? Surely he knows

Rifht

I should know that hahaha he says it enough

Mmhm

I love that quote tbh

And this one. If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.

That’s why even though it’s illegal, if someone enters my home. They’re not leaving alive

Illegally*

Semi rural

And I don’t have one

I like what I like and support what I support

Tend to lean classic liberal more than anything

My 8 values says liberal haha

I’m like 45 minutes from the city

Melbourne *

Suburb but borders a bunch of farms and shit

As I said, semi rural

Yeah that’s the one

Literally borders rural hahaha

Oh you’re in NY

Hahahaha trump is a meme

Absolutely

He was a middle finger to the world

And political correctness

Lol

The republicans need to capitalise on ocasio Cortez

If NY goes red

It’ll never happen but if it does the democrats are fucked

Either way tbh

ThAnks obama

Jesus Christ

that's nuts man

It seems like a lot of the country is red... and the major cities are blue

it honestly seems, the more I look into it. That the country is not going back to democrats

It'll be very interesting over the next few years

I'm hopefully coming to the US for uni exchange

Kansas State I think

was originally going to Michigan State but feed K-state is better for me

Great journalism school

and that's what I wanted

I think so

Wild weather swings? sounds like melbourne

I want to go down to Texas

maybe over to California and do some networking

I've heard a lot of work is moving to texas from california because of taxes

I kinda wanna go pigging in texas tbh

gotta meet some people hahahaa

I live in Australia

it's a full day drive to get to the next major city

good point 🤔

I think so

then the second six months I'll probably go to Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh

more for networking... connects me to NY, Boston, DC, Carolinas and all that stuff

The plan is to live for cheapish, travel to the bigger cities where journalism is strong

Originally I was gonna do MSU for a year and stay that side a lot... There's one upstate NY university, there's one in maine

I’ll check hold on

State University of New York - Stony Brook

It’s on Long Island

There are others

I’m just distracted haha

Too easy

I would want a guise around NY Hahahaha

There's also UMass Amherst

If it was in Boston... I’d go there no issue but 🤷‍♂️

Amherst is so far outta the way

The idea for me is networking while over there

So I need somewheee that has easy access

That’s why I thought Pittsburgh would be ideal

My ultimate goal is to find work out of uni in the US so I don’t have to deal with the moronic Australian media

And there’s also nothing to do journalism wise in Australia unless you’re doing crime or politics

Yeah I’m all over it tbh, and I know that haha but I’m confident that I will be able to stand out. The majority of “journalists” shouldn’t have their jobs

I’m gonna try look for start up companies... people with journalistic integrity. But it’s gonna be a trek

He probably got fired

@RyeNorth

Why are people from California so retarded

I’m not sure why you’d desecrate a firearm like that... keep it classy

Call of Duty WWII had all the Swastikas removed from the game...

@Poppy Rider Linda Sarsour is scum... she’s America’s Yassmin Abdel-Magied

Social media has become an issue.
They are already receiving or have received funding from the government.
The courts already deemed Donald Trumps twitter feed a public forum... would that not mean Twitter and by extension all social media’s would be a public forum? Or public square?

Wouldn’t that make them obliged to follow and be ruled by the doctrines of the first amendment?

Am I reaching or is this a common train of thought

She’s a cunt.

@tmg copper that’s what I was thinking... I’m about to write a piece for my uni course about this but I feel like the people I would talk to in Australia don’t quite grasp the meaning, importance or weight of the social media tyranny that is taking place

@Grenade123 I’m talking about holding them to the same standards as the government as they’re the modern public square.
I’m talking about evolving laws to evolve with modern technology and if Mark Cuckerberg is able to undermine the rights of Americans and everyone in the world via excluding them from the public square with their own personal set of rules.

I’d say that’s an argument to hold them to the same standards. They are monopolistic and tyranny by private company is still tyranny

Tyrannical: exercising power in a cruel or arbitrary way.

Arbitrary: based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.

When the top 5 social media’s are owned by 2 companies with aligning ideologies... something needs to be done. Because right now they’re banning The Proud Boys and Alex Jones to the applause of lefty plebs, next government will ban antifa collectives and the young Turks to the applause of righty plebs.
Slowly slipping into a fucked up society where the government can no longer step in and there are no longer small options other than the main ones because they’ve been shut down or bought out.

Now tell me @Grenade123 does that sound fun.

It may be a bit hyperbolic but it’ll become something similar to that. History shows us the same

@Dan V unfortunately I have no civil rights in Australia... so I’m hoping Americans can hold the torch for people like me in countries like mine...

@Dan V it really is quite depressing... when people wake up it’ll be too late

@Grenade123 the point isn’t about individuals explicitly. It’s about the collective suppression of individual rights by non governmental organisations that you should care about. Companies who have no one to answer to and no one to keep them in line.

Honestly, social media is a cancer.

Nad I agree they answer to money but people are stupid

They’re happy to surrender their security and freedom for ease of use
