    I get what you mean but you have to remember that that would mean corporations can do as they please.

    No matter how much freedom and freedom of speech we have. There HAS to me a line. Like letting hate speech spread and neo nazis make it their home is one of those lines.

    The judge asked twitter to have a legal representative IN brazil that can speak for the company on issues the government has with twitter. Elon musk told them to fuck off. So they now tell him to fuck off then. And now musk is crying and triggered.

    Random and pretty extreme maybe, but its a clear example. Imagine someone standing infront of the house of a person of color and just shouting the n word over and over. Should he be arrested for hate speech? Or would that be an attack on freedom of speech?

    Elon does not want freedom of speech. He wants freedom of consequences.












  • Sadly we do not have a choice. We either get soggy shit bread, or we get rat poison. There is no third option. We can kick and scream right now however much we want. But we WILL get either one or the other.

    We need to be alive to organize and fight for this world. We can’t do that on rat poison. Soggy shit bread is no cake either. But at least we live to fight another day.

    We know a lot wont survive on the soggy shit bread. But NOBODY will survive on rat poison. And we do NOT have a choice right now. And pretending otherwise just hurts the weakest and vulnerable among us.


  • Most of us are not organizing within the system to fix it. We are voting as a way of putting our foot on the breaks while we organize outside of it. The train is going fast. Trump accelerates it and Harris makes it go slower.

    Voting does not mean we are organizing inside the system. Its a half baked measure we use to our advantage.

    Nobody is saying Harris will stop or reverse the train. But we are not going accelerate the train and hurt even more people than it already is. We are privileged to be hanging off the sides instead of laying on the tracks like many many others.
