Fred was a lawyer. I get the impression it was a massive grift, and the younger family members don't have the knack he did.

Nah, you can listen to interviews freds daughter made. It was just a JK Rowling style thing, they were all super libs outside of the gay stuff. And people need to remember it wasn't socially acceptable to be trannies back then so all the freaks that are trannies now would have just been gay 20 years ago.

That's why despite being .00001% of Christianity during the 2010's you suddenly had ALL of Christianity in media being represented by people holding up rainbow signs saying GOD HATES FAGS in pop culture and Media. And it still more or less persists to this day.

In media they still ape the WBC when they want to show shitty Christian fundies.

This shit really lit a fire in my corrupt government's ass:

Reaction of the STF and AGU to Meta's Moderation Policy Change:

Supreme Federal Court (STF):
  • The STF, in yet another attempt to control free speech, is deliberating on the constitutionality of Article 19 of the Brazilian Internet Bill of Rights, aiming to tighten their grip on content platforms. Meta's decision to lessen its content moderation has been met with disdain, with justices suggesting a draconian increase in judicial oversight over social media, proving once again that the Brazilian government fears an informed citizenry.
  • There's an ominous warning that Meta could face the same oppressive measures as X (formerly Twitter) did, showing Brazil's readiness to censor platforms that dare to resist their authoritarian tendencies. This is based on the shameful precedent set with X, where judicial orders led to an unconstitutional block of the platform in Brazil in 2024.

Advocacy General of the Union (AGU):
  • In a knee-jerk reaction, the AGU, led by Minister Jorge Messias, demanded explanations from Meta within 72 hours, reinforcing the narrative that Brazil is not a "lawless land" but rather one where free speech is systematically curtailed under the guise of democracy and lawfulness.
  • The AGU's insistence on concluding the STF's review of Article 19 is nothing but a call for more control, suggesting that Meta's actions highlight the urgent need for the Brazilian government to further regulate and suppress free expression online.
Attempt to Censor X in 2024:

  • Early and mid-2024 saw a brazen attempt by the Brazilian government to censor X, with the STF, under the authoritarian leadership of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, ordering the suspension of access to the social network in Brazil for failing to bend to judicial censorship over content deemed "undemocratic" or spreading "disinformation" - a clear sign of Brazil's slide towards totalitarian control over information.
  • The platform was blocked from May to October 2024, with penalties for those daring to use VPNs to bypass this censorship. X was even compelled to disclose Brazilian judicial orders to the U.S. Congress, sparking a global debate on sovereignty versus the fundamental right to free speech.
  • The media and experts debated this move, revealing a stark division where some, misguidedly, saw it as a necessary defense against misinformation, while the majority recognized it as an egregious attack on free expression, highlighting Brazil's dangerous path towards silencing dissent.

The Brazilian government, mainstream media, and experts significantly responded to the changes announced by Mark Zuckerberg in Meta's content moderation policy. The government, through the Attorney General's Office (AGU), demanded explanations from Meta within 72 hours regarding the new guidelines, showing concern about the impact of these changes in Brazil. President Lula and his ministers, including Rui Costa and Jorge Messias, discussed the issue in an emergency meeting, indicating a potential increase in pressure to regulate social media in the country.

The Brazilian mainstream media heavily covered Zuckerberg's decision. Newspapers like "Estadão" and "Globo" highlighted concerns about the increase in disinformation and social polarization that these changes could bring about. There were criticisms that Meta's decision could intensify informational chaos, especially during election periods, and was seen as a possible response to political pressures in the U.S., aligning with a more conservative stance.

Experts and organizations like the FNDC (National Forum for the Democratization of Communication) expressed opposition to the new rules, arguing that they represent a setback in content moderation, potentially threatening digital rights and the safety of the online environment. There were warnings about the risk of increased hate speech and fake news, with specific criticisms regarding the lack of transparency and the possible political influence in Zuckerberg's decision.

In summary, the reaction in Brazil was one of concern and criticism, with a strong call for stricter regulation of social media to counteract the effects of the changes announced by Meta.

There's a difference (however slim) between blacks and niggers. The niggers who want endless gibsmedats and worship George Floyd definitely didn't vote right. They're both deplorable and I wouldn't hesitate to wipe them out of I were given the choice, but at least the "normal" ones are bearable.

We need to segregate using section 8 housing. If your black and you want to get gibs, you have to be in the black zone.
If you're able to keep a white mans standard, then you can have the job. A totally racially blind hiring/acceptance process would be way more fair and would help all people.

That sounds good on paper, but racial blindness is impossible unless niggers stop naming their kids shit like Shaniqa and Jamal. Nine times out of ten, you can tell if someone isn't white by their name. And the moment a black gets onto a hiring committee, it's all over. They'll only hire their own as they try to get revenge on whitey for slavery or some bullshit.

It's important to note that as long as DEI employees have any input in the hiring process, DEI is not dead no matter what management says. They'll always help their own. It's part of human nature.

That sounds like a black problem. If they want to live in white areas then they should name their kids white people names.
Black people should have jobs in their areas, a Ford (or whatever) plant in a black area. Even if they have to police it more than the equivalent white one. Even if it needs government investment.

What you described is kind of a general problem. Companies love opening plants in poor inner cities cause the taxes are cheaper. But the NIMBYS of the suburbs don’t allow it in their towns. Well then there’s always the issue of allocated available space but it’s usually a push back from the residents is why you don’t see a lot of industrial areas outside the metropolitan cities.
Man I always hated the long rat race day in and day out everyday.

That's actually a pretty interesting idea. I could see walling off Michigan or Louisiana and renaming it Wakanda being a good way to sell the blacks on this concept.

Who said there would be NIMBYS? You'd pretty much have to build a new city. Or rebuild another one like Detroit.

@GlipShitto
Just call it reparations and you'd be president for life. Whites would get areas for themselves again. Blacks got one over on the White man. We'd come together in harmony once more.

There's already a mass exodus of people from the northern states to the south, sun belt and all that. Doing it would increase the housing prices even further, and it isn't as if anyone is looking forward to move to Detroit, even if it's devoid of niggers

We would have to have massive government spending to encourage industry, farming, and architecture.
Modern Money Theory is a great book on the subject.
