If you want to be technical about it then yes it’s violence. But someone tried to kill someone and they fought back in self defence, it would be weird to label them as being violent right? It’s not like the person wanted violence, they would rather they weren’t attacked in the first place.

Yes. Voting is useful for showing solidarity with the movement and demonstrating how the current system doesn’t work. Just because it isn’t capable of causing any meaningful change doesn’t mean it’s useless.

You don’t believe there are WMD? What are you some authoritarian simping tankie?

I feel like there needs to be a good word for someone who has the capacity to do better burlt chooses to dwell in ignorance and should be ashamed of that.

“People hated living under communism just ask them”

Actually you’ll find most people preferred living under communism

“They’re just blinded by nostalgia”

So you can’t just ask people about what it was like under communism?

“No you can, if you did you’d find they all hated it”

Monkey’s paw curls. Raw chicken is now more expensive than cooked chicken; The price of cooked chicken remains the same.

Anarchists are left. Anything to the left of capitalism is left. Anarchists want to get rid of capitalism.

People can make racist jokes. But the punchline has to be more than just “haha racism”. If only racists are laughing at your joke, it’s not a funny joke, you’re just being racist.

What the? WHY AREN’T YOU LAUGHING AT MY RACISM?

Everyone deserves a fair trial ffs. That’s how you prevent innocent people being thrown in jail.

If you’re legally required to have a degree or whatever related to the topic then all you have to do is require social media sites integrate some sort of display that shows the users qualification that they can submit to these sites if they want to use their platform to discuss such topics. Then when you see someone making consistent claims without displaying their credentials you have the evidence right there to deplatform them.

I can literally go and do this right now I wouldn’t need authority.

But with an actual dedicated team they could collect this evidence and present it to a court for this issue.

Those people are not cops. I could right now investigate top youtubers to see if their platforms are being used to spread misinformation without displaying any credentials. And if you paid me to do that I wouldn’t be a cop.

Right but it’s not the only part. You’re making it seem like I want more people on the streets with the power to arrest people for whatever.

I feel like you’re confusing policing for investigating.

Why does it need a complete restructuring? Just have an agency who’s purpose is investigating these specific crimes and then rely on regular cops to handle perpetrators.

I thought that pot plant was doing a goatse at first.

Cops aren’t the same as say the FDA.

And there is harm when people take misinformed medical advice from people claiming to know better.

because things like libel

Why does it have to be like libel? Why not death threats? Advocating for an intellectual position on things like medicine can cause harm and should be regulated.

Sure, more cops is clearly a great solution!

I didn’t say that you cunt. Why can it not be like what they did with Alex Jones where he was throwing a bunch of conspiracies around school shootings and parents who had their children murdered started getting harnessed so Alex Jones ended up facing consequences. This isn’t “oh so you just want more police. Good.”

Why’s it unconsititutional? Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want.

And there’s no agency for it? Then make one.
