I'm the child of indian immigrants. My parents adored trump in 2016, I was meh because all my friends told me he was a white supremacist. I thought my parents had gone mad. But then I saw that nothing my friends claimed…
What part of Trump's policies are extremist? I ask this question honestly. None of his policies are extremist in the slightest. Even the mob on the sixth are just crazy supporters. Trump instructed them to be peaceful…

Wow okay.. Some people have too much time on their hands. Since I'm not giving them my money, I honestly don't really care what they do.
Uh... I always thought it was! You're right though. It shares the philosophy though.
Nazism?
I've been on parler for months. Stop exaggerating
Speech should have limits, but calling anything that took place on parler automatically 'hate speech' so contemptible that it ought to result in banning along with everything else on that site is ridiculous. There have…
It's not surprising, and it's disingenuous to accuse people of apathy. In several flu seasons, hospitals have been overwhelmed, tent beds set up, etc, and most people don't care because the flu is 'normal'. COVID is…
I'm unsure if you think that I'm supposed to disagree with you. I really don't. YC is incredibly toxic. I let the scales fall off my eyes on that one. When I first graduated university and started reading hacker news, I…
I have never said that speech should be fully free. I do have criteria that would be used to censor speech. However, neither the sixth riots or the summer riots had many actors whose speech I believe ought to have been…
The 1st amendment does not apply to private entities. The first amendment is a law restricting only Congress. 'Freedom of speech', however, is not the 1st amendment. It is an ethical precept, not a law. It's like how…
I am glad Poland is doing something, but I'm not sure I like this bill either. This is just censorship by another name. I think we need to make a distinction -- as the US Supreme Court did -- between large, publicly…
We actually see Trump/Sanders directly overlap in Tulsi Gabbard, a democrat who supported Sanders, but who often disagrees with Trump (and indeed, was the sole democrat to not vote for impeachment). Many Trumpers like…
> Based on your logic, if both parties rejected Stalin then you'd be in favor of him. Yes, I'd rather have a social democrat that rejects Stalin than a fiscal conservative that embraced him. Unlike the various…
Yes, you're right. The casting out of Ron Paul made me really mad. Thanks for reminding me. No, no party is better really. The GOP is the same. It's run by the same kinds of old farts. My main source of good feelings…
Right. I used parler to do such things as follow EWTN. I stopped using Twitter for this sort of thing because I figured that -- with EWTN's stance on the trans issue -- it was only a matter of time before they were…
they are increasingly beyond the reach of normal citizens. If your views do not align 100% with either party, you are increasingly marginalized. See the treatment of Donald Trump (a republican outsider, and not a…
Honestly, I stopped believing the media reporting of Trump once I listened to the full audio of his speech about the awful events in Charlottesville. Literally immediately after the 'both sides' soundbite he goes on to…
And then pick and choose sound bites to report to form a narrative.
But Republicans more and more are shifting. More Republicans today than ever are willing to regulate corporations especially in this area. Beliefs change. We see it in the senate taking up the cases into twitter and…
No I don't support throwing out votes. This is why I support thomas and alitos reaction to texas v pa. They said they would have taken the case but, even if they found pa to be wrong, they would not give the resolution…
Then why did the supposedly far right donald trump dept of justice file the first major anti trust case in decades?
This conservative administration has been the first in a long while to charge antitrust violations against americans monopolies How do you square away that fact with your simplistic characterization of conservatives as…
So what you're saying is, even though the constitution says the legislatures set the rules, the governor and officials can unilaterally change them and there is no one who has any standing to challenge those rules? Do…
