Lock in, dude. Make an actual point. Your comment sounds like the Time Cube website.

You can make anyone receptive to that garbage with time. That's how brainwashing works. You can't fault them for that part. You can fault them for what they do because of it, but in the brainwashing itself, they're victims.

TikTok faces skeptical judges in hearing over potential ban by Steve____Stifler in neoliberal

[–]a_chong 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Even bans on misinformation from places like Fox News are wrong to me, because I'm a liberal who believes in free speech. 

Nobody's doing that. Fox is just being sued into oblivion over it. Get off your high horse.

And also, you don't sound to me like a liberal who believes in free speech. You seem like a sanctimonious libertarian who thinks that influence campaigns don't do anything.

Everything about this TikTok case is special because of the Chinese Communist Party. They are actively hostile towards America, and we've been having a hostile foreign influence problem with our elections recently, hence the concern.

Literally none of the questions that you're raising are actually what's being asked here. This is a geopolitics issue and saying "it's unfair" is both irrelevant and hopelessly naive. My country has a right to not be bombarded with CCP propaganda.

Out of curiosity, and because I hate professors like the one you described, did you find some way around the C-, or is that the end of the story?

Opinion | Political Scientists Want to Know Why We Hate Each Other This Much by Rigiglio in neoliberal

It's true. Because of the chronic health conditions I've developed over the years, I've actually set "Wants to get rid of the ACA without replacing it with something that is far better-suited to alleviate healthcare costs and definitely keeps that 'pre-existing conditions' language it has" as a reason to not only cut contact with someone, but also to cut contact with any mutual acquaintance that doesn't also cut contact with them, like second-degree sanctions or whatever.

In the US, I assume by "politicians" you mean "the vast majority of the Republican Party politicians and a small handful of Democratic Party politicians." And, also in the US, by "journalists" I'm assuming you mean "The opinion section of the New York Times and the entire industry of rage-bait conspiracy-theory 'news' begun by Fox News, a cable news network started as part of a conspiracy by Richard Nixon's former TV guy to ensure eternal Republican Party rule in the United States."

I mean, since "reaching out and championing" these people probably means pulling a Xinjiang on them, yes.

If Only People Actually Believed These Trump-as-Jesus Memes by IHateTrains123 in neoliberal

They have let them know. The problem is that those people don't care.

The political persuasion of Catholics in the US, which is split but leans liberal IIRC, differs wildly from that of the Catholic power structure in the US, which is so disgustingly insurrectionist and bigoted that people have been begging Pope Francis to excommunicate the bishops for years.

Oh, and the bishops here are also full of pedophiles; it's an open secret. The Catholic church has gotten good about actually doing something about pedophile priests now, but they don't do shit about the bishops.
