It's amazing how less than eight years of Russia gate made the Democrats an openly pro-censorship party. Even as their voterbase turns on them for it, even as they lose in court over and over, even as it gives the Republicans an easy win in every debate, politicians like AOC will still smugly smirk when someone gets fired and say "deplatforming works!" like it's some great thing.

How many laws introduced by Republicans to curtail "anti-Semitic" speech, crush BDS and protect Israel?
How many "right wingers" that suddenly went full on censorship AND genocidal after October 7?
Stop presenting half the story. Both parties are severely corrupt and censorious.

It isn't a defense of the democrat party to say "but the other side is awful!" and pointing out that the other side is awful doesn't invalidate the criticism of the other side. The news update that brought me back to this thread was Alex Jones.

"Republicans also bad" isn't an argument.

I am not defending the Dems whatsoever.
I am simply presenting a more encompassing view than yours, one where both parties are similarly corrupt, but in different ways, and where almost nobody outside some people like Glenn Greenwald and Thomas Massie has any respect for your Constitution and principles.
When you only tell half the story, it creates a specific incomplete image where one party is supposed to be evil, and the other absent, and everyone would choose neutral against evil.
Yet the truth is, both evil, in different ways.

then you wouldn't have bothered bringing it up. It's a totally irrelevant deflection to the point I was making. We could have a larger discussion about the merits of both political parties and how the Republican's dicksucking of Israel despite its many war crimes is bad -- but the problem is, that isn't the subject. The subject was "Democrats are getting really bad about wanting to censor the internet." The point about Republicans cucking themselves for Israel is otherwise totally unrelated.

Nope.
You don't get to protect your preferred party and demand that we focus on the party you hate.
Fuck'em both, and fuck your attempt to limit the discussion to dunking on Dems.
You're basically pulling an HHH, where Dems dindu nuffin and Reps are bible thumping obese theocrats to be afraid of.

I'm not limiting anything. I brought up a point, and you lectured me for not also bringing up a separate, unrelated point. It's fucking dumb.

If you want your opinion heard, state it. But don't try to nag me into saying them for you.

Here's how you could have made a not-retarded version of your post.
"The Republicans also support censorship and are hypocrites, I don't think they're better than the Dems at all."

Cut out the stupid moralizing nonsense about "presenting half the story" and bam! You've got very basic intelligent discourse without shitflinging stupidity.

"Republicans also bad" isn't an argument.
It is if the argument is about who to vote for, whether to vote for anyone at all, or whether to "throw away" your vote on a third party. The argument is about who is worse, and whether it's even worth the vote if both of them are horrible beyond belief.
Alex Jones is a cow, but he's a cow who has pissed off countless billionaires who collectively control the vast majority of the internet. If the poll was affected by bots, it was not in his favor.
I think he's kind of a piece of shit and it's absolutely contemptible to try to make money by hurling random accusations that people who lost their kids to a murderous autist's rampage faked their own kids' deaths, an atrocious lie, resulting in people already dealing with the tragic death of their children also getting showered with death threats and lunatic harassment from his dipshit followers.

That said, I don't think even that kind of shit justifies prior restraint against him having any kind of platform to talk on at all and approve of Musk bringing him back to Xitter.

I'm not telling anybody who to vote for. I'm making a critique of a one party based on what they do and what they say. It's just a simple statement of fact that the American Left, or at least the establishment political wing of it, has become brazen and open about their desire to censor and control speech, and the internet in particular.

Let me put it this way: do you think the people currently trying to take down KiwiFarms are right-wingers who love Israel and want to fight wokeness? Or do you think they're trans socialist larpers? Republicans are guilty of it too, but it's a majority "left-wing" problem.

I mean, if Fuentes & Co. And the rest of da sektur weren't a bunch of impotent, simpering faggots it could be a possibility.

Whenever I see this stuff I think the reasons given are just excuses. Some of the smarter people in Europe are realizing that they completely fucked up by relying on silicon valley instead of developing their own tech companies like the Chinese did. It means that your digital marketplace is completely controlled by large corporations in another country, and you are 100% at their mercy. It might be too late for them to develop their own alternatives, but they are desperate to reduce their dependence on US tech companies - kind of caught between a rock and a hard place there.
