Awesome video

Your right to free speech ends when it turns into terrorism, racism or a call for a coup.

There are some things that should be banned, such as the twitter accounts that promoted the attempt at a coup in Brazil in Jan 8 2023.

These are the accounts that the judge asked to be banned. After Twitter didn’t comply they started sending fines and eventually outright banning it.

Free speech doesn’t mean you can say literally anything. It means the government cannot punish you for your political views. But they can, and must punish racism and anti-democracy speech.

Also, it’s a misconception that a decentralized service cannot be banned. In fact it’s not hard at all

Just shit on the scale

Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It’s written in the article that I assume you haven’t read

The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election

This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups

Of course i would appreciate it if we stopped selling weapons.

The West is not perfect by any means. (and I noticed you skipped answering my question about dictators with EU support)

My point is that country leaders have limited influence. They can’t influence everything like you seem to suggest

My brother what can they do?? They put diplomatic pressure and sanctions in place but there’s nothing more a country can do to influence another nation.

There are US and EU sanctions in Venezuela since years. But they still manage to live in their limited space.

Saudi Arabia is an Absolute Monarchy. They have a king and all that bullshit. The king is a de facto dictator BY DESIGN. that’s their constitution.

What do you expect us to say?? “hey, how about you abolish your whole political system? Because you know… We kinda don’t like it”

I don’t like it either bro but it is what it is. We have to live with that bullshit. Unfortunately there is no solution to everything

Name a dictator that gets political support from the EU

Western powers are willing to recognise Putin as the ruler of the Russian Federation

“A European Union spokesman said the elections were not properly monitored, nor conducted in a free and fair way. The governments of the UK, Germany and the US echoed this.” -BBC on the Russian 2021 elections

Here’s the article

This has always happened in the past Russian elections. The EU doesn’t push harder on this topic because they know these efforts won’t influence Russia

On Venezuela however, there’s a lot more chance that international pressure will cause changes. Maduro GTFO!

What’s to see?

I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

Yes it’s dystopian as fuck how much money he’s able to make. But that’s not a result of him being evil or something. That’s a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

He’s just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he’s good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

I don’t like Mr. Beast. But don’t think he’s doing anything unethical

Doesn’t matter how much you bomb Mexico. If there is a demand for drugs there will be a supply. No matter the price. A drug addict will do ANYTHING to get it

Cutting the supply would only work if you’re somehow able to cut almost all supply for 30 years straight, until the currently addicted people die off or sort themselves out

To stop the drugs you need to stop the demand for drugs. Treat addicts instead of arresting them. And oh my god stop prescribing literal Opioids as “treatment”

The point here is not that this comment hurts trump in some way. But that it hurts democracy. It favors violence over reason.

Many believe that the world might be better if trump was dead, but on the other side, if assassination is an acceptable solution to politics then democracy is destroyed.

The people that are against Trump are also against fascism. And supporting his murder is contradictory and essentially hurts your own cause.

Choosing to be fair and respectful to your enemy is the best course of action. Even though it might be extremely frustrating.

I did not mean to justify Israel’s actions by pointing out Hamas’s attack.

I agree that Israel has the sole power to stop this conflict. Every day they refuse to do some sort of ceasefire deal is a slaughter caused by Israel alone.

Netanyahu is likely prolonging the war due to political pressure and IMO should be considered a terrorist as well

As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

They are not morally Superior to Israel.

Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.

The history of Palestine is super messy. All sides have committed terrible acts to the other, coming back hundreds of years. Each side can always look at recent history and claim X has provoked Y or Y has caused a disaster on X.

You can claim this was a provoked attack. I for once can hardly justify an attack on civilians. You can argue, Israel has done worse in the past, and while each side is biased, perhaps you’d be right.

My point is. This is an endless discussion

Both sides are bad. IMO the best outcome at the moment is to stop the conflict as soon as possible

Man what a terrible choice of words.

By your standards I could provide a counter argument like: Has any Israeli launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinians and kidnapped 300 of them?

And then I sit on my biased moral throne and feel the meaningless superiority of my argument

Reality is not black and white. Both sides are bad

Hamas launched a horrible slaughter of civilians. they knew it would have consequences. The IDF would obviously retaliate but they are using too much force and causing extreme suffering

This war should stop as soon as possible. There is nothing to gain in prolonging this conflict

An icon represents what the people think it represents.

An icon can also have different meanings to different people. It’s ok if you don’t like it. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that the majority of people that use or share Pepe are from one specific ideological group

So your suggestion is that we ignore 34 guilty veredicts?

Well in a way the US will ignore it. A twice impeached 34 times guilty ex-president is still allowed to walk on the street and even run for president again.

Yeah, the penal system in the US and quite frankly it’s whole constitution are a joke

I would miss Google maps too.

I’d love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don’t know what I would use to navigate around

It’s just a media game

Every time Russia says “there will be consequences” they’re just throwing threats around like a dog barking from the other side of a fence

All their cards are on the table. The only things they could pull off are drafting more people or going nuclear

They’re now scrambling to find soldiers from other nations because announcing another draft would obviously shake Putin’s control over Russia

I just wish Europe would stop playing this war like a political game. SEIZE RUSSIAN MONEY! What are you afraid of? Ruining relations with Russia? Fuck off! Ukraine won’t have people to fight forever

Israeli soldiers are not recruited from prisons like in Russia

Great to know that you can recognize your imperfections. I’m sure you have a good character. And i’m glad you’re feeling better. Cheers!
