[colfax_m]

When companies engage in biased censorship and discrimination, that’s Exactly what the government is for and rightful to step in

Nope. No constitutional authority to do so.

Nope. No constitutional authority to do so.

It would not be the constitution that is the determinant authority

It is when the government is involved.

Nope. That's exactly the opposite of what government is for. Discrimination laws are bogus. The government is there to protect our rights, not to force people to accommodate each other against their will.

I agree with the principle, but the government already does that shit.

Get rid of all PA laws and I am on board. Otherwise, fuck it. It's time PA laws worked in our favor....FOR FUCKING ONCE EVER!!!

That makes total sense. We should embrace socialism, police brutality, and corruption while we're at it - and learn to work them in our favor!

Hey man, I know what you're saying. It pisses me off that I have to sacrifice principles over practicality, but unless we start a fucking war, being principled is getting us NOWHERE!!! That's why Trump was so fucking popular. Principles got us a big juicy dick up the ass. Trump was the backlash.

What's your solution to that?

Keep fighting. Keep making the case for freedom in a sane, rational way. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" is no better than giving up. Arguably, it's worse.

It feels like it's just 3 or 4 of us are swimming against a cargo ship. I'm getting tired. Until more people embrace liberty, the ship will plow ahead.

Is war the only real option at this point?

War is not an option. If we can't get more than 5% support in elections, we're not going to win a war.

Are you a sci-fi fan? Did you ever read the Foundation series?

No. Who's it by?

Did you read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind?

No. Who's it by?

Asimov. It posits a large, interstellar empire in decline. A prominent "pscho-historian" determines that a complete collapse is inevitable and will result in a 30,000 year "dark age". So, he concocts a plan to save civilization and reduce the "dark age" period to 1000 years instead. That may be the best we can do.

Looking into it.

Terry Goodkind was somewhat of an Ayn Rand protégé.

republicans strike again. Now they are taking first amendment rights from social media.

They are regulating the internet. And violating the first amendment to do it. They are also violating section 230 of the communications decency act.

What happened to their screaming that business owners have the right to decide who they serve or do business with? That was a lie too.

They are showing that their hate for regulations was all a lie. They love regulating business just not in a responsible way.

Their beliefs are of convenience not real beliefs.

Ban Trump? Not so fast. Florida is about to pass a law to stop Facebook and Twitter from censoring politicians

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is likely to sign into law a bill that would stop Facebook, Twitter and YouTube from censoring politicians such as Donald Trump.

www.usatoday.com

Fair enough point, though I might dispute that these companies are making entirely private decisions on whom to ban from their platforms when they’re constantly threatened with regulatory interference by Congress. Regardless, in a similar vein, when did Democrats suddenly find the rights of big corporations to do whatever they want with their property to be sacrosanct?

That's my concern, and such would be considered government action. But, how do you prove it? dblack has a point there.

The lack of transparency means we probably will never prove it.

"It's different when we do it" - said pretty much every Democrat and Republican.

I suppose it's easier to support liberty when it's not being used against you.


Sometimes is sucks having principles.

When it suited their purposes so well.

Plaintiffs win a preliminary injunction as the law. The decision lays out why this law will fail.
