If you were in Thailand or China and you posted what you did, you’re even more of a moron than I thought.
I reject your false framing. You’re conflating society and the government in your question.
To answer the question I’m pretending you meant to ask: No, The government should not have the requisite monopoly of violence necessary to enforce speech laws. It is a human right. Any sanction should be exclusively received from society.
Except you can and projecting your beliefs onto others is the literal definition of society. You can’t not project your beliefs onto others
We are not bystanders. All societies are negotiated both within them between members and between members and observers outside. The idea that anyone should forgo their opinion on another culture is naive and asinine. You’re asking for all social exchange to stop in order to preserve an arbitrary set of rules in amber. The system you want to uphold as precious is both not real, and not valuable enough to justify the cost
Oh also, free speech is an inalienable right. In fact I’d go so far as to say learning it’s inalienable is how you learned the word inalienable. Free speech is a human right. Anyone anywhere who is limiting it is commiting a crime against humanity. The opinion of the people in charge doesn’t change that. That’s literally how inalienable rights work. So, no fucking clue what you were on about there
Also also, if you were Canadian, what trouble could you possibly get in being critical of Thailand? You’re either an insane coward or a liar for that one
Not being invested enough to engage isn’t pathetic, it’s the normal response. It’s not pathetic to not be chronically online my dude
I don’t doubt op has a stalker, but not commenting everywhere isn’t what makes them pathetic. It’s all the times when the stalker is engaging that are pathetic, not the times when they aren’t
Yeah… Because China is big into encryption
but that wasn’t his last reply
“free” when you find it on the side of the road, but expensive to actually maintain without having it die on you.
The download is free, but pay for it or it’s going to die.
Lol. No. The EU tariffs haven’t even hit yet. They actually go into effect next week. The only way this is the time to buy is if you think trump is going to back down. He isn’t. He’s an egomaniac gambling with someone else’s money. This is going to get a lot worse before anything recovers
Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?
Lows is the same distance from home. What a The fuck are they thinking?
Your plan is sound. Just make sure whatever you use as a brace underneath doesn’t naturally warp in the same direction
Yeah, seriously. They can fuck right off with that one. They don’t own the community. You get to be a part by contributing. It’s up to the community whether you’re let in or no. Log Cabin morons think they own us already
Most of the time it’s accompanied by “sins of the father” rhetoric where nothing changes but we’ll see I guess
They’re admitting that now dead people did bad things a long time ago. Not exactly impressive
And Vermonters. It’s also a fuck you to the state that hates Trump the most.
I mean, I get the idea that it’s easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like … Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don’t really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.
No. And I very much doubt they’ll agree to it seeing as trump already threw away all his leverage over them. They have no reason to listen to anything America has to say anymore
No one is losing anything. Faith in America is dead. Any lag we’re experiencing is the time it takes to figure out the complexity of smoothly divesting from America. It’s simply impossible to trust this won’t happen again. You can’t put it back in the bottle. The US is fucked
