I accuse them of this high crime tonight.

File a lawsuit. And not to the court of public opinion. "We" are waiting.

Why would anyone care about this?

You should care about privacy: not about "having anything to hide" but about "not having anything to show."

You've probably heard about VPNs, just know that they are BSing you when it comes to hiding your private data beyond your location. Browser instances are incredibly unique, making building a profile attached to an identity linked to your browser to sell still possible. That's called "browser fingerprinting", and there's a lot of money there. Think of a VPN and fingerprinting as going to an anonymous masked party for famous people and you have a very recognizable tattoo on your neck...

The only browser I've stumbled upon taking fingerprinting seriously is The Tor Browser, and considering Tor's weaknesses (most notably exit points that can be owned by anyone, government included) I can't recommend it in good conscience either.

Election* fraud.

Voter fraud would be a voter committing a fraud, like voting twice or in someone else's name.

This here is messing with the electoral process after the vote happened.

Does election fraud carry a larger penalty to voter fraud? It should IMHO.

Waaaaaait, the subprime mortgage happened because government tried to tip the scale against capitalism, right?

As it turns out, it was more well-off people who defaulted. By forcing riskier lending practices in the name of "racial equality", banks had to protect themselves and imposed higher rates on existing loans, leading many to default on their payments. As money was not going back to the banks, they couldn't exchange currency internationally which led to a ripple effect that hurt the whole world.

Am I having my facts straights or not?

With public figures, I think reasonable that retweets aren't necessarily endorsements or approbation.

I think the problem largely revolves around bias.

Facebook, Twitter and Reddit purport to be neutral, yet have shown a clear political bias in selectively editorializing and removing content/accounts/subreddits they disagree with.

In fact, every subreddit over there is biased too, against content that doesn't belong in a given subreddit. And it's the job of the mods to clean up, not the admins. Is it censorship? No. And the mods are not legally liable for content posted by users either.

thedonald.win is biased (/r/the_donald before it too) and has made it clear: "This is The Donald. Our community is a high-energy Trump rally. There are no exceptions." We are not neutral, and if you come in with an adversarial mindset, we'll get you back through the door. Yes, this means this platform is against free speech. And the normal functioning of this platform requires it to be against free speech, or be at risk of abuses of free speech and devolving into anarchy from outside interference, our be victim of what's commonly known on traditional forums as "sliding". However this platform can also be considered as but one soapbox in the town square, not a townsquare itself: you are free to leave if you don't like it here, and hecklers will be pushed back (and have their coats taken, kek.) The plurality of such soapboxes in the townsquare is what allows free speech to persist. You are free to bring your own soapbox, to build your own platform.

I think protections from Section 230 should be kept to keep admins protected from user-generated content, and amended to allow a margin of editorializing for biased platforms (soapboxes) and criminalize editorializing on neutral platforms (townsquares).

Perhaps the answer lies elsewhere, or is more complex than that even.

They were so firmly planted in reality that they couldn't be as unhinged as modern leftists were.

The difference being they had to fight for what they wanted to achieve. No return. It was vanquish and live free or lose and die a traitor. Leftists coast through life without real hardship, instead posing as victims to simulate hardships, and the worst part is it's only being done for attention.

Anywhere from "it's completely doomed" to "it's already won". Preferably the latter, or at least trending toward it. But you know some are more of the former.

Because there is no "we".

I understand now that the reason people want these jobs and positions is to feel important, and if you take that away from them by downplaying the loftiness of your position, they resent you for it.

As I was reading this passage, I realized that this is little different from your typical leftist who identifies as this-or-that and that's their whole life right there. Living by being instead of through achievements. (The comparison stops to the fact people in high positions have responsibilities to fulfill.)

Still. Couple that with the bucket of crabs mentality where achieving people are singled out ("he's better than me so he makes me look bad, let's not associate, I want to be the center of attention by barely working for it"), and you get a society that gets pushed toward the cliff, little by little, and it's up to hard-working people to push society away from it.

Just took a cursory glance, there are none tho.

Found Hunter Biden's article with dick picks down in the "Popular Articles" feed which is below the actual article. The thumbnail doesn't depict any sexual organ either.

This is malarkey!
