There are no "hate crimes". This designation exists only to slowly strip us of our right to freedom of speech, belief, and expression.

The problem is we've done a hell of a lot of waiting and seen nothing... and when the election rolls around, there is a very real and terrifying chance that we lose, and everything gets buried along with America.

Bingo. I don't know how we managed to stray so far from our fundamental principles. The brainwashing is real and apparently very effective. Ever since this virus situation started, I keep seeing leftists attempting to explain things. It's usually framed as:

"The government exists to protect its citizens and so sometimes it must take away the people's rights for public safety".

GOVERNMENT IS INSTITUTED AMONG MEN TO SECURE OUR RIGHTS. It does not grant us these rights, and therefore it cannot revoke them. There are concessions we make for living in society, yes, called laws. But fundamentally we are FREE men, and that understanding of human liberty is what makes America the best country in the world.

I actually agree with you. Little scuffles and minor altercations shouldnt need to be handled with the law EVERY TIME, it makes us weak.

But it's the left that has gotten us to this point, and the same left always attempts to bring the lawman into every conflict. We can no longer play by mature, grown-up rules, because it just puts us at a disadvantage.

Yeah I didn't realize this for the longest time. I used to just think "He's a director known for making really good but violent movies".

But then I rewatched some of them recently, and you're right. Django is particularly bad. All Southern whites are depicted as completely soul-less, evil, conniving slave owners. Southern culture is just entirely smeared. Basterds, too, glorifies any violence against Nazis, like op said. The scene where they are trying to interrogate the German officer and bring out the "Bear Jew" for not betraying his comrades is just disgusting.

It's not fear-mongering.

The indoctrination in public schools is real. I went through it and noticed it myself. When I was in High School I was a relatively distrustful person, and I was very quick to criticize each thing being taught or told to me. The Marxist agenda isn't always blatant -- that's what makes it so insidious. But it is omnipresent and lies under everything.

It isn't always about WHAT they are teaching (though it often is, such as in the case of the LGBT movement) so much as HOW they are teaching it. You have to continually ask yourself questions to see the truth.

Which topics are they absolutely focusing in on? Which questions are they asking? Which positions in a history class are being taken as the "normalized" position on a subject? How seriously are you being taught "revisionist" theories? Which view are you not supposed to take? What assumptions lie under the topic being studied? What facts are conveniently left out? Who is being taught as the "good guy", and why? Who is the "bad guy", and why? What books are you reading for an English class? Not just WHAT books, but WHY are you reading those books? Are any of the books anti-american culturally? How are you expected to behave and interact with others in the school? What sort of take on "bullying" does you your school have? What are its actions regarding various social problems? Does your school take a political stance?

There are a thousand questions to ask, and as you find the answers, you begin to see the agenda. Kids are being taught that America is the bad guy, that our "privilege" is sickening and racial, to NEVER go against the grain, to NEVER question, to "critical think" ONLY superficially, to let someone else take care of all of their problems, to be coddled, to never fight back, and to normalize this twisted culture we are growing as the "American" one. It is an agenda that is weakening our children and culture and turning them against their forefathers.

And it continues in college, as i can also attest to seeing. 16 years of brainwashing is sure to sink in to a lot of minds.

See, I agree with the general idea than an artist would be able to control the distribution of his art. But I think it is absurd someone can claim there is a copyright issue if I upload a picture of myself (taken by someone else) to the internet.

I reject the notion that someone can "own" my image. If it's a painted picture, sure, I can see that being more legitimate. It's something the artist actually created. The artist here did not create Trump's image, he simply took a picture.

Regardless of the medium, a system with a reasonable copyright law should apply Fair Use here. It cannot be reasonably argued that the photographer/artist is being negatively affected by a post like this at all. Why should it be the artist's business if his person is not being misrepresented and his profits are not being affected? Art MUST be shared to facilitate the evolution of culture, and strict copyright law like this effectively censors society.

This is what our screwed up copyright law has always been leading to. It was conceived to be used as a shield, to protect against others profiting off of your own creative work. It is being used as a sword, to censor and oppress anyone with an innovative mind.

Monopolies smash down content creators or cover their content with ads. Companies spam copyright flags with no repercussions. "Fair use" is a nebulous term that is considered on a case-by-case basis, effectively weighting the law towards monopolies and away from creative content creators.

Once, copyright/patent law was intended to protect creators for a time, and then to expire to encourage further ingenuity and to promote the natural growth of American culture. Today, copyright "protection" has grown to extend for lifetimes, creating invulnerable super-monopolies, stagnating our cultural development, and hindering our scientific progress.

It is another part of the system that needs an overhaul.

Blind support is foolish. Tucker does not agree with Trump on some things, and makes that clear. When Trump is doing a good job, he makes that clear too.

Even the greatest champions have flaws and make mistakes.

I love the feeling of actual identity each community has since the sites are separate. It should make communities tighter over time and cause less homogeneity.

Unfortunately, giving each community their own .win seems like only a temporary solution. Other domains are going to be bought/parked/used, or account data will be gathered on fake .win sites. There was already some confusion, as I'd seen people discussing KotakuInAction2.win's legitimacy before the official announcement. Additionally, I imagine the cost of all these domains is reeeeally going to add up if the .win network is intended to grow large.

I'm in favor of a unified site (ie: thedonald.freedom.win, communityx.freedom.win). BUT, unlike reddit, I put forth this: have no "front page". The front page could instead be a link to communities and a tool to find suggested communities. Otherwise, leave it blank. This would mostly keep communities separated and maintain the independence of each community while unifying the network and foiling potential security risks.

Yeah, it needs to be reversed imo. I'd also imagine it's going to get expensive with so many domains this way.

I agree, but we need to hold EVERYONE involved accountable. But you're right, the emphasis should be on the coordinators for sure. Of course, I would argue 10 years isnt even ENOUGH for the coordinators

THIS WAS A FALSE AND FRAUDULENT CLAIM

The investigation needs to continue! This was a false report. Why was the FBI called in? No one affiliated with NASCAR looked at the rope and noticed it was a handle? BULLSHIT! This was a PR stunt so all parties involved could virtue signal
