They named him in the search warrant affidavit.

"Aryan Cowboy Brotherhood" sounds quite gay.
Conservatives need to get over the fact that tech is never going to cater to them unless they start up their own alternatives and drop the religious shit. Even if they get the kinds of regulation they want to foist on tech platforms, like.
Conservatives led such a huge number of moral crusades against technology and video games and everything that your tech-savant autist enjoys in the 80s and the 90s, they've got a solid couple generations of people entering that particular workforce who're never going to be sympathetic to their perspectives. You could do affirmative action for conservative techies and have trouble filling those seats (say, like AA currently has when looking for qualified black C-levels in every industry that isn't music).
Conservatives don't have cultural clout in the discords and slacks and whatever other corners of the internet where a lot of the code monkeys of the future are congregating. Every single conservative-friendly action that every single tech company takes, particularly those that serve as social platforms, is going to be a token effort to claim some level of neutrality. They aren't neutral. Conservatives should wise up and play smarter, but they'll neither do that nor will they meaningfully congregate at a smaller alternative.
They should play facebook's game - they should claim that the suppression of discussion of Kyle seems nakedly political, and they just want to apolitically discuss the merits of self-defense or of defending businesses or something. Instead, they're going to waste the opportunity whinging about how a bunch of people that don't like them... don't like them. Or launch into a lecture about how young urban techies are sinful and need to find god and blah blah blah
Most conservatives just want the rules applied fairly and neutrally, the dobulestandards on most tech platforms are infuriating, "Hurr Durr Pedo was stopping a mass shooter" is fine but "Kyle was clearly acting in self defense here is proof" is not.
Frikken sales/marketing destroyed any chance No Man's Sky had as getting a good release as it's a decent game, but sales lied so much that customers were disappointed in the resulting product.
To be fair to NMS post launch they really step up the game in terms of adding stuff that was over promised, from what I heard.
The problem with the business regulation being that it's not just applied to building before a certain size and capacity, but to literally all businesses. How does this both apply to factories and grocery stores, and not just pharmacies, restaurants, places that have more active contact? Plus, in most businesses, the plastic shields around registers solve the problem of closeness that a mask would.
To be fair people are fucking morons, when I go places even densely packed people with proper face coverings (not the cloth shit) often have their nose and/or mouth exposed or have huge gabs between their face and the mask proving no cover what so ever. These people are putting others at risk (Since surgical masks only protects others)
Detroit also had a demonstration where rent issues were once again repeated as was restoration of the extra $600/week in Federal Unemployment instead of the $300-400 currently in place.
MI hasn't been getting the 300-400 dollar federal funds, they applied but it has not started yet.
Discover (and supposedly Mastercard) are cutting off payment processing to any platform that takes donations for Kyle's legal defense.

You will not be allowed to fundraise your legal defense from the mob.
But crowdfunding sites with a shit ton of scams is fine?
I disagree.
Conservatives are not going be able to play politics on a massive scale.
So They shouldn't. Lets take the master card situation. Way to counter that would be small town banks. Banks which serve that area only.
So lets say everyone works with a small town and local only. Refuse to work with anything bigger then that. The end result would be a fragmenting from bottom up.
Using small town Banks and Credit Unions won't work, most if not all of them still use Discover/MC/Visa as their vendors for debit and credit cards, its the illusion of choice when there really is none.
Well, he died in police custody with a knee on his neck instead of them doing CPR or something to help him.
That is a fuckup but it's not a "He was killed by cops for being black" fuckup.
He was activility resisting arrest, he tried "I can't breath" before it went down, he tried other things to get the police distracted so he could flee or attack the cops. Then to make things worse the peanut gallery which had no idea what the fuck was going on was trying to take control of the scene and police were distracted by them for starting to try to cause an uncontrolable scene which would have put Floyd and the officers in greater danger.
Fuck optics, it is often divorced from reality and only make idiots feel better who can not critically think.
I agree with you to an extent. But I do feel that Floyd hd shown himself, repeatedly, to be unwilling or unable to comply, and he seemed to be grasping at any straws he could to get away. Lying about his Mum dying, pulling the "muh clostrofobeeaarrzz" schtick, and all that.
It does raise questions though about the need for him to be on his front with an Officer with a knee on his neck. Clearly, we need to find a better way to pin down people who are clearly not going to comply or doe as they are told.
No we don't, knee on neck did not cause Floyd's death nor has it been shown to cause issues in the past, its the fucking "But it looks bad" well boo fucking hoo. Maybe if the crowd wasn't yelling insults at the police and trying to tell them how to do their job, the police would have been able to pay more attention to Floyd. An Officer's job is to control the scene which the peanut gallery was trying to take control of, if officers loses control of the scene that puts the Officer's and Floyd's safety in greater danger.
The only one responsable for his death is Floyd. The officers even asked him if he was on drugs which he said no. If he said yes and said what drugs he was on, once he passed out the Officers could have maybe saved his life by deploying Narcan (if they are issued that), but the officers were not given that chance.
