There are some issues where I'm like reasonable people can disagree. This is not one of them. I honestly would like some intelligent, sane person to explain to me why minors should be allowed to receive dangerous medical care that could have severe, negative lifetime implications because of a mental illness. There was a time when intelligent adults wanted to protect children rather than feed them into the woodchipper of woke politics.

In theory yes, but I think as we have seen with the censorship and algorithms is does not really provide equal access.nein51 said:Harrison Bergeron said:

The internet democratized data and information. That was thought to be a really good thing. Giving everyone a voice.
What it has done, with ZERO doubt, is proven that not everyone deserves a voice and that some people are just far too dumb or ignorant to use their voice…those people are also the loudest.
Practically, it has given a disproportionate amount of attention to a tiny minority of people, and as you noted not necessarily those who - may deserve a voice - but may deserve to be ignored. Just riffing, but I think what it has done is really blunt to importance and efficacy of persuasion and intelligent arguments and just replaced them with slogans designed specifically for unintelligent, emotional mobs.
It’s close to madness, but it isn’t. It’s a social contagion, carefully constructed and released among the susceptible to deconstruct all stable aspects of society. They want young people at odds with their families and friends so that socialist institutions can fill the void.

When your argument has to be boiled down to 40 characters (it's more now) then you're going to lose nuance. Coupled with the fact that probably 50% of users are spam bots you have an issue for sure. The vast majority of tweets are produced by a very, very small number of accounts. Twitter isn't real life…but politicians have seen the need to govern like it's a majority.
Social media will be the downfall of modern society. I have no doubt about that.

Agreed. The limited characters is harmful. Plus, the inherent traits of the technology means that the moronic masses do not have to think for themselves but simple copy the stupidity of one particular poster, and the Russian and Chinese bots just copy the idiocracy.nein51 said:Harrison Bergeron said:In theory yes, but I think as we have seen with the censorship and algorithms is does not really provide equal access.nein51 said:Harrison Bergeron said:

Angry literary figures demand Amy Coney Barrett book be shut down in open letter to publisher
Private companies publishing book to free market=Fascism!!!!
Angry literary figures demand Amy Coney Barrett book be shut down in open letter to publisher
Quote:
Over 500 literary figures have signed an open letter demanding Penguin Random House shut down a book deal with Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett valued at $2 million over her vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.
In the letter, the progressive signers claimed that while they "care deeply about freedom of speech," they also believe it is important for publishers to uphold their own dedication to the first amendment with a "duty of care."
"We recognize that harm is done to a democracy not only in the form of censorship, but also in the form of assault on inalienable human rights," the letter states. "As such, we are calling on Penguin Random House to recognize its own history and corporate responsibility commitments by reevaluating its decision to move forward with publishing Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett's forthcoming book."

This tweet is an example of how her constituents now view her and the socialist squad in the dem party:
Imagine retracting & opposing a letter to the president which stated:

“It’s America's responsibility to pursue every diplomatic avenue to help end the war."
That’s what @PramilaJayapal, @AOC & the fraud squad did this week.
There are no peacemakers or progressives in Congress.
I've been telling progressive types for years that the people they're voting for are sheep's in wolves clothing, but it doesn't phase them. The socialist rhetoric is good enough for them.
AOC is merely cosplaying a Congressman. Not that she has a lot of bricks in her attic, but she just parrots whatever the loonies on twatter and TikTok think is the latest wokey cause. Ukraine is the 2022 Covid mask.

AOC will remain the congresswoman for that district as long as she wants the job .
However bigger bucks await her in other venues .
