His net worth is between $14M and $20M. That's a lot for you and me, but he is nobody for example next to musk's $400B (20,000 times more)

It's also important to distinguish freedom of speech (protected by the first amendment) from free speech (a made up concept meant to bastardize on the former and to allow social media post whatever they want anonymously, like this ad).

Oligarchs don't really have an attachment to their country, of they want to go somewhere they just go. They actually feel much closer to other oligarchs (like putin).

That's why I said removed or changed. It should be changed in a way that wouldn't apply to big sites, but still could somehow buy used by hobbyists as it was intended to.

Though I'm quite sure his team will do the exact opposite.

It's the feed that I think Facebook started, but everyone uses. You think you are posting things and your friends see them, but in reality Facebook (or whomever it is) really controls who sees it (if anyone).

You just have illusion that you have a platform when you don't.

I think this is also the reason why social media companies are all deep into generative AI. With it they no longer need to even have humans produce content they want to show to others.

That section should be repealed or rewritten. It was originally meant so hobbyists running forms wouldn't be responsible for content posted by the users.

Currently companies like Twitter, Meta, Google etc can control what is shown to users and hide behind this protection.

trump's admin change will likely make it worse though.

Still a lot of people don't know about it. We should also post flyers on the streets on lampposts etc to get large numbers not just on Reddit.

Didn't he wait until 2023 or at least until mid 2022 before he started anything?

Not when you start tariffs wars with allies that you signed trade agreement with.

And his idea to fix inflation? Cut interest rates.

Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ impartial, except it doesn't look like anyone cared.

Fuck Merrick Garland he was Republican challenge that they thought Obama won't dare to nominate. When he did they still blocked him.

If he didn't delay investigation into trump while being AG, perhaps he would be in jail right now.

Still call your Republican representatives and ask what the fuck they are thinking by surrendering their power to an executive branch. That's not how our Republic supposed to work.

Edit: they supposed to represent you, you actually are in state where your representatives are responsible for the current situation and you are wondering how to contact representatives from the minority party that has a very little power to do anything right now.

It doesn't matter that you think they won't listen, if you and others won't complain, they definitively won't do anything.

Unfortunately this won't work, unlike the other people who he kicked, Phony Stark has money.

You now see muskov next to resolution desk almost all the time.

The congress completely surrendered its power, the only thing left keeping us from autocracy is judicial branch.

Edit: we won't get out of this without massive protests which includes vote just people but also politicians who still want to keep democracy. Robert Reich suggests April 19 as it will be 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord which began the American Revolution.

We should organize next time to protest is this presidents day.

When I accidentally interacted with one of their communities, it basically felt like a tankie 4chan. After that I just banned the entire instance.

Bible also says:

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

I am Christian myself, but seeing other people who call themselves Christians imposing Christianity on others while they themselves not living according to our faith and then inventing excuses to justify it. I believe there's a special place in Hell for them.

There's no good ending.

They call themselves patriots, but they are nationalists, which is even crazier as what drives them is hate to other countries.... And for some reason love for Russia (which is why at least Polish nationalist representation has some problem with)

It would have to be us.
