anyways i was also looking a uh... *softcore* forms of self protection, i.e. bb guns or whatever, not because i feel in danger out in rural california, but just because it's better to be safe than sorry
wait i just remembered theres a firearms chat
my b
I mean if you want a non lethal form of protection being fit is probably the best option
My solution is the same as always
Sick backflips.
You cant just backflip your way out of everything
😏
...I just study comatatus and other weapon base martial arts. I can already hit pretty hard, but give me a pipe or large stick and I can win while not killing the man.
maybe i'll try the backflip method 🤔
san fran.. why does that not surprise me https://twitter.com/qikipedia/status/1029231140060557312?s=20
So it has nothing to do with any actual skill
Subjective skill. Don't really see why anyone would care that some people somewhere decided to do something silly.
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

@GodOfMercy (Jack) that makes sense to me, what's the point of rights if big companies walk all over them
@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
Are we talking about regulating companies?
There's an argument to be made to regulate companies that infringe on your civil rights
@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...
Tyt are the establishment lol
Or more acutely
Neo establishment
They are owned by yt pretty hard
Back when we had the demonetization wave they kept silent and didnt make single video about it
😔
I am pretty convinced that they are owned since then

@GodOfMercy (Jack) unfortunately, it's becoming more and more common for western governments to further restrict individual civil rights which is directly against their mandate as a representative government
Wew
Geez
