I don't understand your argument then. Why are you assuming anything beyond "people who broke the law are going to be prosecuted" when not even that part has happened yet?

It's really hard for me to have any serious worry about the slippery slope of extrajudicial punishments when that fear is based on "some people on an Internet drama forum said we should summarily execute all the Redditors".
All I'm saying is that I don't believe the internet to be real, because it isn't, and anything said on the internet shouldn't be seen as illegal. I don't even believe copying/pirating should be illegal.

I hate redditors and I hate IRL redditors who just whip out their smartphone and quote reddit and google whenever you have a normal discussion with them. Would it be funny to see that cesspit punished? You're damned right. Would I want it to happen at the expense of freedoms on the internet? Hell no.
Unfortunately, the days of the free internet, even this website, are coming to a close.
so I don’t disagree with what you’re saying but at The same time if someone is saying creepy things about a child, I think that should at least be censored. Besides I think it’s just funny to see reddits brave revolutionaries be so easy defeated, it’s funny.
I agree, it's funny to see redditors punished.

Maybe I'm just salty that the internet isn't an anonymous wild west anymore. If Tom Jones calls a six year old sexy, it's creepy. If bigdickenergy69playboy says elon should be fedposted, then it's just text on a screen and therefore harmless.
 
Reform what, the fag fund? Oh no, the department of sucking teacher union dick.

Here’s the thing, states are bottom line responsible for their own schools, you don’t seem to know America particularly well
This "America is owning itself" stuff amuses me so much. Its midwits seething that political soft power, that only benefits politicians and the corrupt via backroom deals, is being torn down in favor of actually doing things and delivering them to the electorate. They're so fucking mad that the expectation is being set that you actually do something as a politician, not get elected to sit on a commission to decide if this commission has the authority to assess the commissions validity on its authority to consider addressing the issue.

Rather than spending ten years and ten billion dollars asking the DoE to explain why its failed at its mission, he's actually doing something to stop the damage.

Yeah, that's really, really, really stupid.

The Internet is just another medium of communication. If I threaten my senator over the phone, the medium doesn't magically make me immune to prosecution.

I may Have never been there for the old anonymous days of the web but I understand missing the more anonymous days of it.
 
The third one is funny to me. The dude pushing people hard to protest, but isn't going to do it himself cause he got kids. Like bro how you expect others to do things if you ain't going to do it yourself! :lossmanjack:
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, comrade.

(In this case he wants people "able" to protest to provide him the benefits of protesting, which are... a warm fuzzy feeling, I guess.)

It's federal money distributed to poor states. Most which are conservative and religious.
nigger, why the fuck are you lying? if you go through the fiscal year 2025 dept of education budget and do the calculations, you'll find that only 2 of the top 10 states are in the south, texas at the second highest (with a massive fuck off liberal bughive population receiving a large portion of it, and rural schools receiving less) and georgia at number eight. people used to post believable bait back in the day.
 
Correction, federal money distributed to minority districts to waste which are primarily in the South (and Cali)
according to quick calculations done by other people, it comes out to something like...
  1. California - $9,723,846,000
  2. Texas - $7,348,562,000
  3. New York - $5,432,789,000
  4. Florida - $4,567,231,000
  5. Illinois - $3,456,789,000
  6. Pennsylvania - $3,210,567,000
  7. Ohio - $2,987,654,000
  8. Michigan - $2,765,432,000
  9. New Jersey - $2,543,210,000
  10. Georgia - $2,321,098,000
it's not even the south. these numbers sourced from the Fiscal Year 2023-FY 2025 President's Budget State Tables for the U.S. Department of Education

Holy fucking shit, if you wrote this as happening in a fictional book it would come across as far to on the nose satire.


You heard of an idea not getting off the ground? methinks this 50501 shit exploded in the hangar.
I'm 20 pages behind, but did anyone notice that the person pushing the protests on Reddit tomorrow is called Sheriff_Is_A_Nearer? Is that not a reference to Blazing Saddles where the old prospector starts screaming to the townsfolk that, "THE SHERIFF IS A NIGGER!" This is getting into macro-aggression territory.
