The Big Tech March to Silence Free Speech

[AM64]

Musk was not one of the "new oligarchs" I was thinking of.

I don't think of him in the same way as I do Zuckerberg and that Dorsey dolt.

He is kind of goofy looking though.

Don't forget Musk has something over 1000 communications satellites in orbit with plans for over 40,000, so he's well on his way to becoming part of the communications oligarchy if he gets his way.

It taught me of the incredible arrogance of the ignorant sleeping masses in this country and around the world.

I learned about how ignorant I am of real truth in this world. I learned how massive corporate entities control all major media outlets and dictate what is and is not allowed to be reported.

I learned how people are emotionally attached to their own beliefs and are much more concerned about perception than reality.

I learned what it’s like to have the majority of people in a group assume they know exactly what I believe when most of what they think about my beliefs is absolutely ridiculous.

I learned that sharing information deemed controversial by the mainstream upsets people.

I learned that most people believe whatever they read or see on TV (even though we’ve always been warned not to do that very thing) without ever considering they’re being sold a narrative. A narrative that typically is shared/parroted by all of the mainstream outlets incredibly using identical language.

I’ve learned how little people actually think for themselves.

I’ve learned not to take myself so seriously. And I’ve rediscovered my Christian faith - stronger than it’s ever been in my life.

I'm glad it took things like plotting a violent coup, spreading defamatory lies, and celebrating a woman's miscarriage for you to become closer to Jesus Christ. No question you'll be welcome with open arms into the kingdom of heaven.

Isnt it monopolistic when tech companies collude to shut down a competitor?

Probably - unless the courts decide the damaged company has no standing to file an antitrust lawsuit. The judicial branch is now officially the totalitarian arm of our government.

Show me where I did any of these things.

Facebook is building a humongous center in Gallatin, TN. Im not sure why they chose this location or what kind of inpact it will have on local, state and federal politics but my guess is that it will not be positive.

Put enough businesses here to pull in more libs and they can turn TN like they have done GA.

Right now, I wish I could censor the email that my 80-something mother in law's friends are sending her. In the past 24 hours, I've had to debunk:

• Nancy Pelosi being arrested over whatever was on her laptop
• The Clintons being murdered
• Trump military junta
• A 12-day, nationwide power outage that the military is somehow going to effect beginning Wednesday

These are old ladies, mostly widows, being trolled and they don't know the difference. They assume this stuff is true. I can't be the full time fact checker and it's a delicate situation trying to explain why this stuff is not believable without insulting her and her friends.

I feel this. I have family members that believe with a straight face that there was a power outage at the Vatican last night because the FBI was coordinating to arrest the pope on child porn and incest charges. They also think this is real:

Maybe that’s their plan.

Is it just me or do some of you guys feel like you want to punch Elon Musk in the face every time you see a picture of him. Maybe it's because he looks like a goofy version of Butch Jones.

Actually, Elon Musk could be an ally. He's weird, but he has more of a libertarian persuasion I think than Bezos, Zuckerberg or Dorsey.

No but something has to be done to address driver shortages and platooning tests are going on every day near here. Don't have to eliminate but could give one driver control of multiple loads

Have you all of the things that prevent you from getting or keeping a CDL license? I'm all for having safe drivers on the road, but some of that stuff is just extreme. That is one of the reasons for shortages.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Truck drivers have to drive to make money, correct? So are they finding new careers or what? You dont get unemployment for quitting. The company would simply hire more truck drivers. Thats a decent paying job and those don't come around much these days.

You do realize there is already a shortage of drivers, right? Look up at my post about CDLs.

Dude, when people go on strike, they sacrifice something. That has always been the case. WTF are you talking about?

And really, with JIT inventories and the supply chains this country has, I think all it would take is for 3 days and the store shelves would be empty. Imagine if it went on for 2 weeks?

I think GM went on strike last year for close to 2 months.

A single White House fence climber is never going to realistically threaten the President, unless he's carrying a nuclear bomb or something.

And what about protesters walking around the capital taking selfies with officers and posing for pictures in the main rotunda?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

That’s why they drive to distribution centers outside major cities and then humans take it from there.

There is the rub...

Collusion

Tyler isnt too smart. Sadly he knows what he's cheering about. He'll probably cheer when pastors are imprisoned for preaching sodomy is wrong

Well, preachers don't do that anymore anyways if they are 501(3)(c) anyways...

I believe Q was a psychological operation designed to awaken a large number of people to the deception of our so-called reality.

Q wasn’t just some random guy in his basement.

Do I believe everything Q posted was fact? Of course not.

Do I think the awakening part is over? Not by a long shot.

The people awakened by Q are supposed to soften the landing for everyone else.

Yeah, it was definitely all made up. Every bit of Q was incredibly stupid and designed to fool morons.

Some pastors still preach against sin and immorality. They'll be the ones who'll suffer

Their user number went down by the millions over night. I'd be curious to see the actual number, assuming they report it accurately. It'll be known to advertisers with the amount of hits

 

[Orangeburst]

I inferred what you implied.

That is, you don't quite grasp what protected speech is or who it's protected from.

That's why you whiffed.

Dang son
You make it up all on the fly to prove you got a win on the internet

Good luck on Parler, everyone.

Parler users had to verify they were “a real citizen” by uploading a copy of their drivers license? No wonder the FBI was able to fill out a no-fly list so quickly.

I was on Parler and never had to do that. I've never heard of anyone that had to do that.
