i have a ton of respect for Jordan peterson when he said "maybe I was wrong about that"

on comedy central

Sam Seder seemed to use it as a way to push his credibility down.

Jordan Peterson has good life advice but shit politics.

It feels like that, but I'd don't believe he's taken enough time in that area.

Jayred The thing that bugs me about Article 13 is it essentially requires more than china level fire walling at the ISP level to control all content. What is fire walled can also be monitored, so it will be an end to anonymity and privacy as well. Then because the US is tied so close to europe, this is going to spill back on the US. I bet that if it passes, within a year we will be getting extradition requests for Americans who broke their laws.

Do we need an internet "Bill of Rights" yet?

Its not easy to admit you were wrong on national TV, especially when you know that your opponents are looking for an opportunity to destroy you.

Im chalking it up as another example of his good character

@Dr.Wol are you saying microsoft funded artilce 13 to increase their share of browser traffic?

i have a wager

The American goverment needs to nationalize platforms like twitter so people can't be censored.

if you align with the regressive left

and the revolution comes, youll be safe

if the revolution comes youre still safe

if you align against the regressive left

and the revolution comes

youll be up against the wall

if the revolution doesnt come youre still at risk of losing work etc

The right has the military. Left doesn't stand a chance.

America inst about to nationalize anything aussie

the right doent have the military

im talking about regressives getting into government

DSA people

in 10-15 years regressive could have the military

You mean by controlling the government or by having a majority in it?

Even if someone is in government they don't really control the military unless the military holds the same ideals. For the most part the military is nationalistic, protects the constitution, and are right wing. Leftists hate the military so chances are they don't join.

@Blackhawk342 Think about it the first amendment stops the goverment censoring people so if twitter was run by the goverment then they couldn't legally censor you.

they would need the majority of people to not see through it all... without the people they got nothing

unless they use extreme force straight away

If the military sees that people in government are going against the constitution past the point of no return I believe they would intervene.

And even if they don't right wingers still own most of the guns.

I had an interesting conversation with my aunt yesterday.. shes from the UK but decided to live in teh USSR in 1989 for about 2 years...

@Deleted User Regardless, the american government wont nationalize anything, it would set a dangerous precedent

she said most of the shops were basically empty shelves, so she would stock up for winter on things like rice etc...

CreativeRealms I believe they would probably do what the Commander in Chief tells them to. 😃

@Blackhawk342 Having goverment run media isn't a bad thing it just depends on who is in the goverment.

but although she knew in the back of her mind it was sort of a worry that she might starve to death or might not be able to escape and get back to england... mainly in her day to day it would be trivial things that she would worry about

Exactly, id rather put my faith in individuals than the government

The mass media isn't a individual it's a organization.

Wacka im sure youve heard the story about Yestlin's visit to the US
