No, the majority of white people and the majority of people who voted voted for Trump. That is a big difference. As much as some liberals want to say "Not voting is the same as voting for Trump", that is not true.
I don't know much about UK politics, but Murdoch was pushing you right even before us.
I think about tabloids as "Propaganda that pays for itself". What better way to sow distrust in science than wild stories about nonsense? Repeat a lie enough times and people start to believe it.
Tabloids have comparatively high sales because they're pap aimed at the lowest common denominator. Young people don't read print papers, so the tabloids make a business of confirming the worst Boomer fears.
This is the case for most "Dumb laws": there's an outlier that becomes kinda silly, but it's not really worth the effort to change.
I saw one "It's illegal to hunt Blue Whales in Idaho". Because it's illegal to hunt endangered species in Idaho, and Blue Whales are endangered, not because legislators were super concerned about saving Idaho's whale population.
When both parties are right, and most voters stay home, isn't that the same thing?
You keep talking about "voting left" as if voters are given that option. Harris could have run on corralling big business. Does anyone think that "Almost as hard on immigrants as Republicans" was a better platform than running against billionaires?
Where do you get your opinion of Americans? The answer doesn't' matter because every media outlet, including social media, is owned by billionaires. Lemmy being the possible exception, but don't tell me you get the impression that Americans are right wing from here.
Doesn't it seem weird how many think pieces about Trump voters there have been in the past decade? I've never seen an article about an Anarchist. Not a single article about someone who didn't vote. Meanwhile, every algorithm takes you to the furthest right content you'll accept.
I'm sorry you haven't seen every other "haven for free speech" turn into a haven for NeoNazis and pedophiles. Pardon me for actually understanding how things work, and remembering Reddit, Voat, the Chans, etc. it's funny you're acting like bringing up how long it took to get rid of /r/Jailbait is a "strawman".
Call me the problem after you say how you're going to stop pedophiles from trading CSAM on your platform, not before.
When someone says they want to create a haven for NeoNazis and pedophiles, I just want to check in and see if they've thought things through. It's hilarious how you're calling me names for pointing out the obious problem instead of trying to come up with any way to mitigate the harm.
I don't think you'll be doing enough good to make a net positive from your child pornography and Nazi haven. Have fun though.
completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.
If you didn't realize what you said, hopefully you'll rethink your goals to include the obvious end results. I suppose you could disallow images of you're not serious about "complete freedom", then you just have NeoNazis instead of pedophiles.
