I mean, one issue people had with NN was censorship.

But i argued that Google also does that, they said it was different.

It's kind of funny.
The same people that got mad at the bakery for not making the cake...
Then turn around when this kind of stuff happens, and then says "but Google/Twitter/Facebook is a private company!!"

But well... Now its just straight up lying

I mean, im more worried about how significant Google is when it comes to us as a culture. Since everyone uses it, it means most of our perspective is filtered through the lens of a corporation as opposed to well, multiple facets

Yeah, I get that, which is why I primarily use stuff that isn't related to Google, for the most part.

I guess I can't post pics here?

In shitposting I think

But dunno bout now, can you post now?

Did you try?

It acts like it is uploaded but doesn't show up

Tried 3 times

Try posting in shitposting for now

Huh, well i use DuckDuckGo

So I have no idea whats going on Google until it pops up on KiA

Well... I get most my news from KiA and some indie journalists like Tim

How often is Snopes actually right considering its funding

I mostly stick to independent creators like Tim, yeah.

Well, for urban myths I used to bilieve

Or politifact for that matter?

But I kept seeing political stuff

I mean, one thing I usually point out is the Snopes entry on Ben Carson

How he supposedly found like what again? 500 something dollars not accounted for?

Listed it as false since the money wasnt there anymore. Basically said it was false since he didny actually find the money, only found that it missing.

Lol, even had the gall to tell me that the site was listed as unbiased.

Yeah that is doubtful. Look at any fact-checking they did on Hillary and see how true it actually is

Still, I had to give up my reliance on supposed fact checkers

They write almost an entire article on proving a statement true and then in their summary they say well there's this one little tiny bit that is not 100% accurate so the whole article is false

The only fact checker I trust is myself also

lol, i bought into too many falsehoods that I dont even know

I used to be supportive of leftist policies until I learnt how they do not work.

The blowback effect is humungous.

Oh many leftist policies will work you just have to pay 200% more taxes

Not to mention Bernie's idea of a one payer medical system. I would hate to see our tax level after that went into effect

How does every other western nation manage to pull it off, then?

Being really homogenous?

Their medical system isn't as good as ours because there isn't any need for competition

Culturally especially

I mean, look at most european countries, most countries are mostly homogenous cuturally and ethnically.

So, you're saying ethnostates work? <:hmkGrin:284219474440355840>

In the US its not as easy to implement a one size fits all basically.
