Translation help from Fascist English to US English:
Kyub’s right.
Just call it Twitter. He’s been trying to make “fetch” happen since the 90s. We get it, rich boy, you have a single-character .com domain. I’m still sending money over PayPal, because that’s what it’s fucking called.
PayPal? The platform that can freeze your account and keep your money for whatever reason and amount of time they like? I don't know...
Unfortunately if that’s the only payment method someone accepts other than cash
Requesting information isn’t limiting free speech is it? Now if that algorithm shows it is indeed limiting or promoting people’s speech in a non-equal manner, that would be limiting people’s free speech would it not?
Surely ‘X’ isn’t doing that? Say it ain’t so!
Dont try fact on the American government and 40% of its population. They dont work like that.
Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colle…
From my experience living in the US, the country is not a good reference point for any discussions around the nature of free speech.
Free speech polemics in the US largely have a demonstrative role with individuals parroting random copytext that they’ve heard before in an attempt to position themselves as being special and independent.
In a way, the whole thing is very entertaining.
There is that.
American democrats, though, irritated me more until I’ve started noticing Republicans. They have that “parties switched in 1960s” myth (only parties’ ideas on race switched, while the main ideology of the democratic party is not too different from “progressives” of 1890s, those guys who advocated for prophylactic lynchings ; and it’s the same about Republicans, whose “anti-racist” ideas were just as Christian fundamentalism based as their today’s projects), and also the “popular party” myth (while even in appearances being something to the top of which only people born with a silver spoon in mouth can get).
At the same time the “free speech” stuff over there seems to mostly be about “they in their totalitarian countries (or pockets of society dominated by the other party) are lied by their propaganda media, and we here are free and are told the truth”.
Not sure it’s entertaining, it looks depressing. But I haven’t lived in the US.
Every state or social group has its shibboleths - the American one is just to performatively pretend they don’t have any.
Definitely. There is a lot of good things about the US, lots to see, different types of experiences, nice nature. But that doesn’t mean I have to agree with polemics that make no sense.
You have to believe that the French government have evaluated in the same week the risk of recognising Palestine and condemning a US company against how vindictive the US government are right now. Hopefully they stick to their guns on both.

us should realise the world doesn't revolve around them and nobody respects them.
