Well...alex jones is controversal. It's his fault he's getting banned

2020-02-27 00:17:57 UTC  

Well...I don't agree with x person. So let them get deleted too

2020-02-27 00:18:07 UTC  

Well...wait, I'm getting banned. Help!

2020-02-27 00:18:13 UTC  

That's basically grift right in 3 sentences.

2020-02-27 00:18:21 UTC  

Except conservatives dont say that

2020-02-27 00:18:34 UTC  

A lot were upset about alex jones getting banned

2020-02-27 00:18:49 UTC  

Dont forget, a lot of Trump supporters are not conservative

2020-02-27 00:19:01 UTC  

I think the worst offenders are actually Libertarians

2020-02-27 00:19:17 UTC  

Because they tend to think countries don't need societal cohesion

2020-02-27 00:19:33 UTC  

Turning point USA celebrated when Nick Fuentes got banned. They don't really care.

2020-02-27 00:19:49 UTC  

Im more or less libertarian and i believe in the need for societal cohesion

2020-02-27 00:20:18 UTC  

I just dont think culture can be government mandated

2020-02-27 00:20:33 UTC  

Its a community thing to uphold

2020-02-27 00:20:46 UTC  

Yeah, but many with the "I just want to be left alone" mindset ignore that when you leave society alone

2020-02-27 00:20:48 UTC  

it goes to the left

2020-02-27 00:21:09 UTC  

Either way we are kinda just circlejerking here

2020-02-27 00:21:17 UTC  

What we need is what are we doing going forward

2020-02-27 00:21:38 UTC  

We're not circlejerking if we are discussing and occasionally disagreeing lol

2020-02-27 00:21:50 UTC  

Circlejerk is agreement with no substance

2020-02-27 00:22:21 UTC  

I just didn't want to get caught up in just complaining like those I get upset with

2020-02-27 00:22:50 UTC  

The best way to stay optimistic is to keep looking for how to improve it rather than pointing the problems

2020-02-27 00:23:56 UTC  

Culture can certainly be influenced by government interference. It seems our government has been largely indifferent when it comes to cultural matters, only endorsing new changes (i.e. gay marriage) when they become wildly popular.

2020-02-27 00:24:30 UTC  

In Hungary, the govt. initiated a massive fertility program that increase fertility rates.

2020-02-27 00:24:32 UTC  

I do what any one man can. I talk about shit. I hold certain values publicly, both politically and not. For better or worse my friends know i stand for personal responsibility for example, and i back it up. I have a good marriage and will teach my children

2020-02-27 00:24:55 UTC  

I stay up to date and educated and write to politicians

2020-02-27 00:24:56 UTC  

I am among friends now

In China, for the worse, the government destroyed old Chinese ideas such as Confucianism.

2020-02-27 00:25:50 UTC  

So, it's highly plausible that culture is influenced by government, among other things.

2020-02-27 00:26:13 UTC  

Im not saying it cant be im saying it shouldnt be

2020-02-27 00:26:28 UTC  

Even when corporations decide to push gender theory?

2020-02-27 00:26:36 UTC  

Correct.

2020-02-27 00:27:11 UTC  

Ideally that corporation would go woke go broke

2020-02-27 00:28:30 UTC  

If not, its one thing to be influenced by Mao telling you to submit or die, its another to be influenced by some mandatory seminars and subliminal ads.

2020-02-27 00:28:51 UTC  

Gucci, for example, hasn't seen a major decline in profits, yet they recently launched an ad campaign whose central idea was "gender-fluidity".

2020-02-27 00:28:53 UTC  

If people gave it a second thought they wouldnt be influenced

2020-02-27 00:29:15 UTC  

Either that or they want to be influenced for another reason

2020-02-27 00:29:47 UTC  

The average person isn't culturally conservative, so it's not like they care if Google promotes globo-homo.

2020-02-27 00:30:13 UTC  

You cant outlegislate ignorance. If you can combat it at all, its through the community

2020-02-27 00:33:07 UTC  

The objective wouldn't be to out-legislate apathy. It would be to prevent companies from pushing destructive cultural changes.
