If you were in Thailand or China and you posted what you did, you’re even more of a moron than I thought.

I reject your false framing. You’re conflating society and the government in your question.

To answer the question I’m pretending you meant to ask: No, The government should not have the requisite monopoly of violence necessary to enforce speech laws. It is a human right. Any sanction should be exclusively received from society.

Except you can and projecting your beliefs onto others is the literal definition of society. You can’t not project your beliefs onto others

We are not bystanders. All societies are negotiated both within them between members and between members and observers outside. The idea that anyone should forgo their opinion on another culture is naive and asinine. You’re asking for all social exchange to stop in order to preserve an arbitrary set of rules in amber. The system you want to uphold as precious is both not real, and not valuable enough to justify the cost

Oh also, free speech is an inalienable right. In fact I’d go so far as to say learning it’s inalienable is how you learned the word inalienable. Free speech is a human right. Anyone anywhere who is limiting it is commiting a crime against humanity. The opinion of the people in charge doesn’t change that. That’s literally how inalienable rights work. So, no fucking clue what you were on about there

Also also, if you were Canadian, what trouble could you possibly get in being critical of Thailand? You’re either an insane coward or a liar for that one

Not being invested enough to engage isn’t pathetic, it’s the normal response. It’s not pathetic to not be chronically online my dude

I don’t doubt op has a stalker, but not commenting everywhere isn’t what makes them pathetic. It’s all the times when the stalker is engaging that are pathetic, not the times when they aren’t

Should or shouldn’t doesn’t matter. The majority wants an account that doesn’t require external verification.

Ignore the fact that that’s not truly possible. People will go to whatever platform makes them feel it’s true the best.

Being capable of effectively convincing people your platform will provide this is a baseline requirement to even start having this discussion. The anonymous Internet isn’t something most people want

We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I’m told, is much harder to do now unfortunately very fortunately since children don’t know how to look out for a superheated steam leak and it was only a matter of time before a child got fucking bisected

Ftfy

Yeah… Because China is big into encryption

but that wasn’t his last reply

“free” when you find it on the side of the road, but expensive to actually maintain without having it die on you.

The download is free, but pay for it or it’s going to die.

Lol. No. The EU tariffs haven’t even hit yet. They actually go into effect next week. The only way this is the time to buy is if you think trump is going to back down. He isn’t. He’s an egomaniac gambling with someone else’s money. This is going to get a lot worse before anything recovers

Yah, nope. Still completely fucking lost. You suck at writing my dude. Maybe take a class? Idk, but your teachers failed you hard. I said we because I’m not op supergenius.

Yup. That one’s on me. I should have been more specific. I asked for an example of Nazis with power in Ukraine and you gave it to me.

Let me try again, what Nazis, specifically named, are in power today? Because what you linked mentioned one politician who is still active today who is vaguely linked to the OUN and it didn’t even tell me what that link was. Similarly “Rising antisemitism” and “rising nationalism” are meaningless in this day and age. I need you to show me what you mean when you say those things. I asked for evidence, not more claims.

That depends. Name another Nazi brigade. I’ve literally only ever heard Azov when people call Ukrainians Nazis. Where are the rest? What are there names? One brigade does not a political problem make. So where are the rest of the Nazis? What is their influence in government? What laws are they pushing? What do they control? Where are the Nazis?

No. Propagandist is.

No one knowing what you’re saying is a problem, but that’s a you problem. Everyone who reads what you wrote is confused because what you’re saying sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. No one knows what you’re talking about. We’ve never heard of these events you’re alluding to. So either show proof of them or we’re going to write you off as another propaganda shill

But you knew all of this because it’s 2025 and no one on lemmy doesn’t understand how the Internet works. Which means you’re lying for a purpose. You’re a propagandist.

It’s a guest contributor to a local paper deep in Mormon country. It’s not really hard to add up

Most of the time it’s accompanied by “sins of the father” rhetoric where nothing changes but we’ll see I guess

They’re admitting that now dead people did bad things a long time ago. Not exactly impressive

And Vermonters. It’s also a fuck you to the state that hates Trump the most.

I mean, I get the idea that it’s easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like … Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don’t really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.

This place is explicitly for shit posting. The only thing cringe is saying cringe in 2025

No. And I very much doubt they’ll agree to it seeing as trump already threw away all his leverage over them. They have no reason to listen to anything America has to say anymore
