There absolutely are, but in his Philadelphia speech, Biden equated anyone who supports his leading opponent(s) in 2024, with being a domestic terrorist.

> Propaganda, just as disinformation, in the long run results in mistrust and cynicism.

The notion that facts which are unapproved by the government are disinformation, is the propaganda.

> The majority of population centers are outside of regions with that kind of low temperatures.

Do NYC, Boston, and Chicago not count? As well as all the other people who live in similar latitudes? There are also a large number of areas where it's too hot to safely rely on bikes for transportation without risking heatstroke in vulnerable populations. If anything, areas like San Francisco are outliers in terms of being good for cycling.

People should have a right to privacy. That includes financial privacy.

> and the killer said he acted in self defense

I'm sorry, but that's misinformation. The killer was on video actively searching for potential targets, and repeatedly referred to himself as a soldier in a civil war. Instead turning himself in, like you're supposed to do in a lawful self-defense situation, he crossed state lines while fleeing from police. He later attempted to shoot the police when they finally found him.

Just because censorship is pervasive does not actually change the historical record. I've posted enough to prove my point. I would invite you to watch the hundreds of hours of violent riot footage instead, but Google already made sure to scrub all of it off of YouTube.

Michael Reinoehl was a prominent case. He was wanted for a targeted political assassination:

> Reinoehl's sister, who asked that her name not be used, said in a statement that her "estranged" brother "believed that the country is going to war."

Pipe bombs and incendiary devices were also frequently used against police. Off the top of my head, there was at least one police officer in Chicago who was critically wounded by a pipe bomb, but again the censorship bubble is making this difficult.

There were also numerous targeted assassinations against police officers. Here is one example: https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/us/nypd-bronx-officers-shot-m...

I would generally consider shootings, bombings, and arson to be a form of terrorism, but I suppose that part may be subjective to some. There was a central repository of all these events for a while, but it's scattered across hundreds of news articles now.

Far left extremism took the lives of over a hundred people and caused billions of dollars of damage during the summer 2020 riots, and we're not even allowed to talk about it.
angrycontrarian··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Regardless of the behavior of the people at kiwifarms, I still find it odd that we have protected classes of people that are more equal than others. Everyone should receive the same rights.
angrycontrarian··on Zuckerberg says FBI warning prompted Biden laptop story censorship
> What is the crime exactly?

Based on what has leaked to the public so far, I believe some combination of drug possession, prostitution, money laundering, corruption, and abuse of an elected office for personal profit.

> if the FBI has evidence of a crime, why wasn't he charged?

That's what a lot of people would like to know.

That is a very good channel, thank you!

I'm not sure the authors appreciate the impact of their own invention. This isn't a camera that censors things: it's a passive image segmentation model that runs in real time and consumes zero power. This would have huge implications for robotics applications.
