if the government cared about my safety they'd close the open border that allows millions of people from extremely violent countries into America
Mexico's murder rate is 5x the USAs and central America is 10x USA's national average. And USA's national average is already massively inflated by blue democrat cities. If you removed detroit, baltimore, st. louis, etc then multiply the above values by at least 10.
I would like to go back to "I don't like what you're saying, but I'll defend your right to say it"... but they've made it impossible now. I remember everything they've done. We would PROTECT their protests, even when we didn't agree with their grievance. They had a right to do so, and it was our duty.
As SOON as they got power, they couldn't help themselves from coming after us and putting the boot down. Never again. No reconciliation, no peace. Fuck them.
Same. If they keep pushing us to war, they don't understand how indifferent we will be against them. Sure, I hate innocents dying as much as anyone, but what they want is worth defeating at every cost.. what they want will kill me and my sovereignty, my children, my freedom. Their wants are violence wrapped in colorful packaging. Our reluctance is turning into resistance, our resistance will turn into resilience. They shouldn't press us any further, but they're too stupid to back down now.
What actively make our lives a living hell? Disenfranchise us? Work on a daily basis to infringe on our rights? Brainwash our children that they are evil because of characteristics they have no control over?
Agreed. They'd gun us down in the streets like dogs if they thought they could get away with it. It's probably why Democrats constantly push for civilian disarmament that they try to cover as "gun control".
They were fine with "free speech" while they controlled the only means of communication. The FTC was founded to remove the Radio superstar Charles Coughlin. From then, "free speech" was just an illusion because no one really had a voice. Until the internet. They spent possibly trillions to capture the internet; Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc, all so they could maintain their control over what can and cannot be said.
They're losing control, which is why they need to attack the idea that we even have a right to free speech.
From the Twitter Files thing on Friday, Taibbi's tweet #36:
"The Democrats were in agreement: social media needs to moderate more because they're corrupting democracy and making all "truth" relative. When pushed on how the government might insist on that, consistent with the First Amendment, they demurred: "the First Amendment isn't absolute."
This is an example of the Iron Law of Woke Projection. The entire basis of progressivism and Wokeness is that ALL truth is relative. (Coincidentally, this is also a tenet of Nazi ideology). This is where you hear them talking about "my truth" or "lived experience" in common parlance, while the academically you might hear "decolonize" meaning "You believe there is objective truth, and you can understand things for what they are, but that's just ONE "way of knowing" and it harms all the "other" ways of knowing."
This is what Audre Lorde was referring to when she said "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." At the broadest level, you can't adhere to objective reality and use that to change the system, because it will never work due to believing in objective reality. You have to use a different toolset. Rather than believing in and acting in accordance with objective reality to dismantle society, you must use a different toolset: subjectivism. Instead of making laws based on objective reality and truth, you make laws on subjective reality and "my truth" or "lived experience."
There's a Goering quote, where he's dismissing a criticism of Hitler's economic policies, and he says: "I tell you, if the Führer wishes it then two times two are five." It's objectively untrue - but if Hitler wants it, so be it. Hitler justifies this by stating "The needs of a state are the sole determining factor. What may be necessary today need not be so tomorrow. This is not a question of theoretical suppositions, but of practical decisions dictated by existing circumstances. Therefore, I may - nay, must - change or repudiate under changed conditions tomorrow what I consider correct today."
In the current American context: judge someone by the content of their character was needed yesterday, judging people by their skin color is necessary today even though it's the complete and total opposite.
This is why they're busy projecting that democracy will be corrupted by "truth" becoming relative. Their NARRATIVE is subjective to the core, everything within it is completely and utterly relative, true one day, untrue the next day. They're fighting AGAINST objective reality, which they claim IS subjective, and to give dominance to "objective reality" which is just subjective according to them denies their ultimate tool: narrative control. They live in a near total pseudo-reality of their own making, that they've been pushing on people for ages and they're about to lose power so they're attacking as viciously as possible because objective reality is resuming dominance.
Some time, maybe. People here are more likely to get it because you're aware of more things historically and philosophically than people elsewhere. What I wrote is correct but not conveyed in the best possible terms to get it across to get a larger swathe of people. Glad you liked it though :)
I am protected from speaking. I wonder if they can protect me from driving, and being warm and comfortable, and from eating. Maybe from being alive, too.
Makes me feel betrayed and that this is no longer my country. Then I remember it's worth fighting for and it's my job to hold the torch long enough to pass it to the next Generation. I know it may not seem like it, but we are actually winning.
This. I look back upon the Sons of Liberty and their actions, how they committed some of the worst "terror acts" and war crimes of the era, acts that turned Quakers into pearl clutchers quaking in their buckle shoes and turned half the public's opinion against themselves, and it makes me feel like real man knowing I'll probably be in on the next Boston Tea Party.
Not just protecting people, but protecting "the most vulnerable" people. If ever there was a phrase that needed to stop being used immediately, that's definitely a front runner
If you were concerned about real safety you would fix CHI, NYC, ATL, STL, SF, LA. Out in the county we don't give a fuck about safety because we are the providers of our own. Begone thot
spez: A reminder that the government stepped in to do something about bullying in school and that has resulted in predators in the medical field and teachers in the schools pressuring and bullying kids into chopping up their junk.
Captain: You gonna get used to wearin' them chains afer a while, Luke. Don't you never stop listenin' to them clinking. 'Cause they gonna remind you of what I been saying. For your own good.
Luke : Wish you'd stop being so good to me, Captain.
Hate speech in the United States cannot be directly regulated by the government due to the fundamental right to freedom of speech protected by the Constitution.[1] While "hate speech" is not a legal term in the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that most of what would qualify as hate speech in other western countries is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment. In a Supreme Court case on the issue, Matal v. Tam (2017), the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech" exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment and that the U.S. government may not discriminate against speech on the basis of the speaker's viewpoint.[2]
this on line harassment and abuse, are they talking about the way the media and the left and the democrats treated Trump for the last 6+ years? just asking for clarification?
Reminds me of a few years ago when I had to take the train. On the other side of the corridor sat a group of leftist politicians, they where writing a document and I overheard their conversation the whole trip.
They spent hours discussing how to best formulate "more tyranny and less freedom" in a way that would make it look like "for everyone's protection". Once I arrived they where still there, and still hadn't formulated one single sentence. What a waste of tax money.
When you can't run a country properly, you cling onto whatever remaining power you have. And that usually means draconian censorship.
It's not a uniquely American thing. Many other Great Reset countries (high vax rates) have a similar thing going on. The difference: they do not have the US Constitution as a safeguard.
I do not need or want your fucking protection. I can handle myself. Go back into the closet.
And fucking stay there
Bro...you've been hitting that second comment like a boss today! I see you Patriot-out hard af...I like your style!
Ya bro , a few hurt fee fees around hear lately but I put in an honest effort 👌🏼
If it wasn't for the haters we might not appreciate being loved as much.
We are from the government and are here to help -- words you NEVER want to hear -- I believe Reagan said that once!
I think what they really meant is Censorship is necessary to protect (them from) the people!
COVID. "These shots are for your protection"
Mutilates genetals gets promoted
Shitstained axe wound gets percented.
Protect our kids from Pedo's and teaching them to want to chop off their reproductive organs.
Same with regulating cryptocurrency...."We're protecting people from losing their money"
Yes you do...
You need protection from the spreading of terror instigators

You're the problem. You need to be saved from your own racism. /s
I would argue that stereotyping has saved my life on many occasions.
Only from cultural enrichment, bigot.
"Give us your money so we can drone strike the terrorist, who happens to be you"
If the government cared about our safety, they'd allow us open season on violent illegals.

Meanwhile, their antifa goons can open carry ARs at drag queen story hours with no admonishment from them whatsoever.

"preventing technology-facilitated violence." isn't what they need to worry about
I am protected from speaking. I wonder if they can protect me from driving, and being warm and comfortable, and from eating. Maybe from being alive, too.
"Muh DeMoCraCy". We are a Constitutional Republic.
How does it feel to be considered a terrorist by the United States Government?
Makes me feel betrayed and that this is no longer my country. Then I remember it's worth fighting for and it's my job to hold the torch long enough to pass it to the next Generation. I know it may not seem like it, but we are actually winning.

Not just protecting people, but protecting "the most vulnerable" people. If ever there was a phrase that needed to stop being used immediately, that's definitely a front runner
We just want to keep people safe!
Also keep in mind, those that want to take over the world, with force, will tell us THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE WORLD PEACE!
Classic commie-speak for "its for your own protection".
Inside every liberal is a tyrant waiting to get out.
The only people they're trying to protect are themselves from everyone else they're screwing over.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery.
Always. From Lenin to Mao to Trudeau this week.
Words are violence, don't you know.
“It’s for your protection”
Where have I heard that before…?
What do you mean, "Not YOU people"?
If you were concerned about real safety you would fix CHI, NYC, ATL, STL, SF, LA. Out in the county we don't give a fuck about safety because we are the providers of our own. Begone thot

Ache Conformity requires all voices to be the same in order to work.
It's 1984 newspeak...
Yes. They are protecting the people that lie from the truth.
