The "free speech warrior" thing was just an aesthetic, they don't believe it. It's like how triggered they get at the concept of masks during a pandemic or health initiatives from a dem government, they don't have good consistent reasons, they just hate the idea of not being in control. Freedom isn't the end goal, it's the feeling of at least being in charge to some degree. That illusion is shattered when someone they didn't vote for is in charge and they handle that worse than dems because at their core, rightwingers oppose the notion that people should be equal and have shared control of government through elected representatives. They lean more monarchist than the left.

>>508587418

It's funny how everyone is willing to accept that businesses only care about making money and are able to see through marketing bullshit saying that they care about customers etc, but for some reason very few people are willing to accept that governments are the exact same, just with power playing the role of money.

Businesses chase money, governments chase power. The primary differences between money and power is that power is zero-sum while money is not, and that power enables you to get things from people without their consent, while money is limited to consensual transactions. Power and money can be converted into each other, so past a certain point they can be viewed as interchangeable. The goal of ALL governments is to become authoritarian dictatorships, regardless of left right red blue sportsball bullshit. No government wants to be a slave to the people. All "democratic" governments are in a constant struggle to liberate themselves from the people.

Wrong. The free speech extremists absolutely do believe it. They just aren't the only faction in the Republican Party. This is no different from how leftists, liberals, etc are not the same despite clustering in the same party in most two-party countries.

The anti-free speech types in the Republican Party mostly come in two varieties.
1. Zionists/Neocons/etc (the dominant faction in the Republican Party since the 1980s).
2. Ex-leftists (excluding neocons) who were fine with most leftist policies besides the anti-white, anti-male etc stuff (this is where the support for tariffs etc comes from).

1 have always been opposed to free speech on "security" (implicitly Israel's security) grounds, and are one of the two major factions in the intelligence/surveillance/censorship/etc industrial complex. 2 were leftists and thus many of them never had an issue regulating speech to begin with. There is nothing hypocritical about them keeping their old leftist tactics after moving to a new party. The pro-white left still see themselves as the left even if they are in an alliance with conservatives etc, much like how the USSR didn't stop being communist during WW2 when they were allied with the USA.

>>508591154
>The free speech extremists absolutely do believe it. They just aren't the only faction in the Republican Party.
They don't because there are only specific causes they'll show up for and specific types of anti-free speech policy they'll actively oppose. Not even libertarians show up to support pro-Palestine people being punished for their beliefs and if they do they're very few.

The right in general has an anti-free speech leaning because the core of rightwing philosophy is protecting a certain type of power and structure you feel at least benefits you at the cost of not caring about right and wrong done to others while the leftwing aims to spread power and considerations.

And then conservatives are largely anti-free speech because conserving traditions means limiting information and grooming your society to meet a standard that is preserved outside of cultural changes that may exist adjacent to it. These standards, to keep them, require censorship and segregation. The dream is that people just naturally fall in line, even when others are free to influence them, but historically that doesn't work.

This is often why conservative libertarians lean fascist; the conditions that their ideas can be functional require fascism to run it's course and create an ethnic and culture homogeny that makes laws and enforcement redundant and unnecessary for the most part. They automatically get what they want, that fascism they feel would never inconvenience them and they have no desire to defend those it would.

yeah but no
private business and corporations as per economic principle are uniquely interested in making profit because it's their only mandate
the "government" in its republican form does not even "possess money", it's supposed to "redistribute money" to various sectors or workers of society in order to manage the country
there should be no ... "holdings" aside the salary that the representatives get and all the rest of the money should be used where necessary or rolled to the next year
>Businesses chase money, governments chase power.
they just simply do not
if it's gotten to the point of "chasing power" you're not in a democracy anymore nor a republic, you're in a monarchy and a totalitarian one at that given that parliamentary monarchies are deliberately made to be able to limit the effect of monarchs by the people
the point of government is to reallocate resources efficiently because one single person cannot handle everything
washing the streets, fixing gas distribution, desalinating water to get fresh water, etc, we can't all do the same things so you need to delegate some people do that just like you get some dude to go fetch a pizza and bring it to you

also, as a tip, if anyone asks to search your phone, you should refuse and if there's no other choice return back from where you came
accepting to have your phone searched is a Kafka trap and you immediately make it possible for them to do anything from pick on the slightest hint up to planting evidence
it's the same thing as letting the police into your house without a warrant because they do not really need to be in your house but the moment that they are inside, you pretty much invited them and they can pick on anything they might see

>social media platforms are not public utilities
That's literally what being a "platform" is though.


If a private "platform" places restrictions on speech beyond what is required by law then it isn't actually a platform, it's a publisher. Editorial oversight (ie curation/censorship/etc of content) means the company is considered legally responsible for what they publish. The companies claim to be platforms in order to shift responsibility onto the users, but they violate the terms of being a platform when they exercise editorial oversight by restricting free speech. The companies (and their leftist stooges) can't have it both ways.

>>508612191

it's a mislabel then, classically you called a website a website because you'd go to an address and you got some HTML in a viewer and you'd read the content and walk away

even in software you have the same issue where it's not just "PHP" or "JavaScript code" anymore, you call it a platform or a framework that represents the sum-total of all components that act together to create this service
it's not "platform" as in town crier, no, just misleading or maybe even deliberately misleading, i'll give you that but it's due to technicalities

>social networks
I think that people in general should be more aware of "property" and the fact that being allowed to be somewhere is not necessarily the same as being the owner of that particular place
or in other words, people give too much credit or take for granted stuff that is literally not their own and that they do not own
for example I never touched Twitter because from the get-go I got the impression that is semi-governmental and that it would not be "free" in any way
... funny that that hunch turned out more true than I could have possibly imagined given that the FBI were literally the mods there, lol

>They are public utilities. What makes you say they aren't?
public utiltities are funded out of taxpayer money and you do not pay taxes for facebook or twitter
>Private ownership? That's retarded.
lol, private ownership is retarded only in Soviet Russia
>Every one of them was caught taking federal funds and working with the government to silence people.
ah well, that's true, and so did Twitter
>exceptions confirming the rule
you should name a cow a cow and a pig a pig
don't say that property does not exist because you've got some dude that trespassed yesterday
or that privacy doesn't exist because you heard about some case where the CIA did something or other
privacy very much exists and is even fortified and backed by laws much more than it ever was
claiming the contrary due to some bad cases is ultimately defeatist
it's fine if you take necessary protections because you know it's an issue but also don't put your hands in the air or accept just about anything on some emo belief that "privacy" or "property" is dead
or you'd be normalizing the situation which is just as bad

>The kid's name is Mads Mikkelsen
Is this a common name in Norway or something?

Because it needs to win a war and democracy prohibits said war
