jesssse··on A Heretic's Guide to Deplatforming
Your analogy fails for me because the rotting meat you refer to are free people. You speak of these people as if they should be controlled. Where is the room for their inalienable rights?
jesssse··on A Heretic's Guide to Deplatforming
You are advocating isolating, deplatforming, etc.. These are tactics that hurt. Hurt people hurt people. If people are allowed to be heard and socialize, they gain happiness and are less likely to hurt people.

We must protect the rights of "white nationalists" or whatever to organize and speak on the Internet. Free speech is for everyone.

> Totalitarianism is gaining power right now through bad actors operating under the cloak of free speech.

I do not understand this assertion.

The way I see it, Free Speech is an antidote against totalitarianism, in contrast to Censorship, which is a tool of totalitarianism.

If PayPal bans Gab because they dislike the speech available on Gab, it is literally an attack on Free Speech. I understand you feel differently.

I will read this pdf and bing some articles about "total public funding" and see what I believe.

I don't know about the trends in public budgets directly funding colleges, but...

Government backed student loans for anybody who wants them has inflated the cost of college in the United States.

Your plan I refer to, is when you said the government could entirely pay college costs for every willing student.

With all that free money, where is the motivation for schools to improve?

> we could fund university education for all in the margins of what we willingly spend on the military or several other programs

I am confused about taxes. When a person gives their family member a gift, why do you feel entitled to a portion of this private exchange of wealth?
jesssse··on It’s better to be born rich than gifted
I do not see inheritance as a problem. My motivation for accumulating wealth is largely driven by a desire to provide for my future family members.

Inheritance tax is theft.

College is already overpriced because of government subsidies. Your plan would make it worse.
