This is meme warfare, and our enemy is poorly equipped. Their ideas are unpalatable, and are being rejected. Hence the meme "the left can't meme".

Right before elections too. What timing. We are so fortunate that our enemy made such a blunder.

It is interesting watching how this plays out

They are so terrible at acting like one of us.

Its always just as obvious as that.

Trying to convice us there is no backlash coming like we're blind

Membership in this discord alone have rocketed pretty hard

Usually, though it is best to simply administer a redpill and move on. Those who spectate may hold their own ideas, and will be influenced.

We are definitely winning. We must keep going. This may be the last chance we get before regulation comes, and is almost certainly the last chance to mass redpill before the November elections.

I see it going 2 ways

The regulations force uniform standards of moderation. This is unlikely as it threatens their speech

Or only allowing moderation to take place if a crime has been commited. This is most likely as it embodies freedom of expression more truthfully

Blocking people and hiding their posts exist for a reason. If something hurts your feelings block it. You shouldnt be allowee to petition to have them silenced permanently.

I agree that deplatforming will most likely be targeted, as that has echoed to real life already.

However, what form this will take is difficult to say. There's still strong sentiment that this has a place, especially in the case of lies.

Lies in public aren't a crime

I agree that people should be smarter, but we can't rely on that

Also the regulations are apparently comming from Trump. But we will see

In anycase this is probably the last time they will be able to pull this without serious legal repercussions.

He will likely try using either trust-busting or executive orders, but neither will be the end solution.

The regulations will need to go through congress, or worse through constitutional convention. Either way the regulations are the repurcussions.

But there will be no way for them to be one sided in the future

We are at the endgame. If we are lucky, we can win congress before they solidify.

True

I wouldn't say its endgame

They are playing like it is

But it isnt

I feel they got anxious and wasyed a trump card

This would be far more devastating closer to elections or if they saved it for 2020 or 2024

They are impatient and sloppy

It's certainly the end of the wild west online. And you are correct in that they misplayed.

Still cant underestimate them

I would say true endgame was this last election

But it's only the beginning of the end. Time to bring it home, and secure this advantage. Win the meme war -> win the war

They were meant to win and Trump fucked it all up

Now they are desperately trying to get it on track when that game has been lost

The true endgame doesn't exist in the ballot box, but rather in the future we leave.

They blundered hard, and we have taken full advantage. Now they are on the back peddle.

What I mean is that there is no meaningful victory to be had here by doubling down

Yet they continue to double down rather than consolidate and save for a hard victory
