AshWolfy··on You can't censor away extremism or any other problem
Except it doesnt even resemble what the left believes

this is a good breakdown https://youtu.be/m0ZDHgD9084?t=950

any examples?

Youre right, the article is old, antifa has killed a single person, its only 300 times more murders from the right than antifa now. of course also ignoring that antifa medics were attempting to provide medical aid to danielson when the right pushed them away

As for those other 2, the first has nothing to do with antifa, the second is a trash fire where no one was hurt

I also like how your response to statistics is individual stories

If you had evidence you would have already presented it, i looked through a couple of articles and nothing about race. im not going to waste more time to confirm what i already know

You clearly know they are dogwhistles. Just like saying sieg heil doesnt inherently mean anything racist, but everyone knows what you mean when you say it.

Of the 30 stories currently featured on the NPR website, 1 is about race

See but if you just say the left, you dont have to provide any evidence, you can say they believe anything without proving it

> right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years, while antifa members haven't killed any

AshWolfy··on I guess I have to watch ads everywhere on my $1,500 LG TV now
supply shapes demand as much as demand shapes supply

How much time or effort is this actually saving you? Maybe its just me, but id say i spend maybe a few minutes doing these tasks every year. A lot of this is achievable without smart technology anyways
AshWolfy··on I want a computer that I own
They can be forced to do what we want, through means like protest and strike, at least in the short term

I dont think we can ever rely on people holding corporations or the government accountable
AshWolfy··on Over 140k virus species in the human gut, half of which are new to science
This is absolutely true, which is why its usually recommended to take probiotics when you have to take antibiotics

Is public discourse being wittled down? I can buy books from across the political spectrum within seconds. Consider Jim Crow versus not being able to buy a physical copy of an obscure book that can still easily be found online for free

Maybe its relevant for you, but i dont think many other people share that
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
Because freedom of association cuts both ways.

I also dont like the power that massive corporations have over our lives, but the solution isnt some absurd regulation, its to break them up

AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
everyone keeps saying this, but ive yet to see the numbers that prove ebay is a monopoly, especially since the books are available for free online

There'd probably be a lot less people at the farmers market next week

Its obviously not ok, but its not ok because its racist

I found it for you, free for anyone with an internet connection to read. It was the first result when i googled the name of the story internet archive

This was nothing special, a low volume book taken out of print, politicized by people like you.

Being able to speak without interference from the government. I also think there is a spirit of free speech where the consequences for your speech should not exceed the speech itself, though that is obviously less precise and kinda up to individual judgement
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
Yeah its not like amazon, facebook marketplace, Craigslist, or literally millions of local marketplaces exist for this sort of thing
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
They were important to dr seuss as a person and his development as an author, but culturally theyve been eclipsed by his more famous work.

These books arent gone, you can still find them and they are documented for historical purposes, but as a society we have decided that there is no need for them as childrens books. Nobody cares about the hundreds of books that go out of print every year

AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
thats just revisionism, i dont remember either of them, and ive never seen anyone reference them until these past few days. after the controversy is over, nobody will miss them
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
No, and we should criticize how companies allow access to their platforms, but just because something was denied access to a platform doesnt inherently make it a free speech issue

This is not fighting corporations, this is getting bogged down in culture wars

AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
businesses can deny service to anyone as long as its not because they belong to a protected group

Ok how about this, should my local farmers market be forced to allow me to set a pornography stand?
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
Free speech doesnt mean an obligation for people to provide you a platform, nobody is obligated to carry my book or let me on tv. You may criticize how that is carried out, but its not anti free speech to say racist cartoons dont need to be published
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
hmm i wonder what percent of the market ebay controls in buying books
AshWolfy··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
people also look down on plastic surgery influenced by cultural beauty standards

You have to know there is a difference between a private company not selling a bigoted book, and a government banning all books which criticize it
