Sorry how does legislating the internet fix this?

2018-09-07 02:00:00 UTC  

It blocks it ahead of time.

2018-09-07 02:00:04 UTC  

No it doesn't lol

2018-09-07 02:00:11 UTC  

It forces the issue to stop censorship for the meantime.

2018-09-07 02:00:16 UTC  

They can just fucking overturn that shit

2018-09-07 02:00:25 UTC  

What?

2018-09-07 02:00:29 UTC  

No they can't.

2018-09-07 02:00:48 UTC  

If you're required to host all political discussion as a public square, there's nothing to overturn.

2018-09-07 02:01:09 UTC  

That's the most retarded solution I've ever heard

2018-09-07 02:01:11 UTC  

Unless you are saying the laws applied to shopping malls and telephone lines for nearly a half century are unconstitutional.

2018-09-07 02:01:15 UTC  

Not an argument.

2018-09-07 02:01:19 UTC  

>all political discussion

2018-09-07 02:01:28 UTC  

It cannot possibly be that broad

2018-09-07 02:01:36 UTC  

Or you're just saying fuck property rights

2018-09-07 02:01:45 UTC  

Fine. If you want a more specific solution, I can find it.

2018-09-07 02:01:54 UTC  

But there's pretty standard precidents.

2018-09-07 02:02:17 UTC  

Which is what I'm advocating for.

2018-09-07 02:02:28 UTC  

The only way Trump would put hate speech production in is if it is hate speech protection for trump, which honestly nobody wants to do. Except trump.

2018-09-07 02:02:38 UTC  

He's saying the dems will

2018-09-07 02:02:42 UTC  

After Trump leaves

2018-09-07 02:02:55 UTC  

Or they get rid of him somehow or something.

2018-09-07 02:03:08 UTC  

It doesn't really matter, it's very near future from what I can tell.

2018-09-07 02:03:09 UTC  

But the thing is that either the Dems can't cuck the supreme court, or you were fucked anyway

2018-09-07 02:03:37 UTC  

You place way too much emphasis on precidents.

2018-09-07 02:03:51 UTC  

The arguments to overturn your precidents are common in law schools.

2018-09-07 02:04:01 UTC  

More common than the arguments for the status quo.

2018-09-07 02:04:16 UTC  

And the forces of censorship want to make it even more that way.

2018-09-07 02:04:49 UTC  

You're naive if you think the goal isn't to turn the censorious and one-sided style of academia into the broader society.

2018-09-07 02:04:58 UTC  

>it's easy to overturn the checks and balances of the country
>it's impossible to overturn a regulation or law

2018-09-07 02:05:01 UTC  

And there are reasons the arguments are so one sided in the academy.

2018-09-07 02:05:15 UTC  

Sure. Fine. You can overturn or change things later.

2018-09-07 02:05:22 UTC  

But the regulations are coming.

2018-09-07 02:05:35 UTC  

Then they're coming no matter what

2018-09-07 02:05:35 UTC  

And the power is all one sided once the censorship is sufficiently underway.

2018-09-07 02:05:47 UTC  

And there's fuck all you can do about it by your own logic

2018-09-07 02:06:15 UTC  

No, I'm saying you force open the channel so you can *fight at all*

2018-09-07 02:06:36 UTC  

You'd lose the platform and then just say "lol we just burn it" without a fight.

2018-09-07 02:06:54 UTC  

>blue wave
>dems get majority
Oh boy, how do you fight now?

2018-09-07 02:07:11 UTC  

I don't know. Which is why this needed to be done yesterday.

2018-09-07 02:07:14 UTC  
2018-09-07 02:07:31 UTC  

My bet is Mattis
