Weird. In some sort of dark way - like when you'd like to

see something you don't really want to happen, like an invasion of interstellar aliens - one can almost wish most of that is true and comes to light. We have been arguing ourselves to death over penny ante stuff, elevating peripheral issues to civil war status, while we have become in debt to the tune of almost a half million per family while turning a free market economy into a oligarchy.
Rather than going down in idiocy like a couple in a doublewide who couldn't put the credit cards down, lets go ahead and admit we embezzled 30 Million from the Federal Reserve, do our time and start over with some sense.

"It's unthinkable until you think it." Dabo Swinney.
I did say the post was weird sounding. But think about it. In a matter of a few days we find proof that a massive computer fraud manufactured the election results. Mike Pence, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton are running a sex ring of Guatemalan children, Nancy Pelosi is being paid 5 million a year by the Chinese (or is that Hunter by the Ukrainians?), and Tony Fauci knew the entire time that there is not a dang thing anybody can do about the virus except a vaccine. You have to admit, that's great entertainment.

in its original form and forum the post is in search of likeminded individuals for engagement, posted on an account like the one linked above it’s meant to expose this lunacy that’s running unchecked and showcase the ridiculousness of this dangerous echo chamber.

There are so many corners of the Internet you can get to that are far, far worse than this Parler crap, and they're hosted on AWS, Dell, Google Cloud, and others and accessible on apps from the Google and/or Apple store. They host far right stuff a lot worse than this (and stuff in general worse than this) but this is a free PR moment for the tech heads to high five each other.

I don't think the conspiracy theories are such an issue. SOmeone can believe Tupac is still alive. Someone can post all kinds of nutty conspiracy theories. Aliens at Roswell would be ok too. WHen it gets to the stage where it is sheer provable bullshyatt that incites and promotes violence, there is an obvious line to be drawn by a private company. Let's say they were talking about rounding up the Jews and building hate for the Jews like the N*zis did, then they shouldn't have a platform to spread it. It's just common sense. It's not even that fine of a line. I respect the business that doesn't enable the promotion of such madness.

Jan 11, 2021, 11:43 AM
|
|
"Tupac is Alive" to "Rounding up Jews", you are saying that "The Election was Stolen" is closer to the later and therefore should be de-platformed?
Where would "Joe Biden is not fit for office" fit in that sliding scale? Is that worthy of being de-platformed in the current climate?
Do you see that line of what is acceptable and what is bannable speech moving over time?

Fixing that. If anything he's made that worse. Not that he or any President can fix our debt problem. Closest we came to that was when Clinton briefly had the line item veto which just so happens to be our last time with a balanced budget. Only time really in my lifetime. That was our last gasp of any attempt at fiscal responsibility.
Rest is BS.
