War in Ukraine

[davethevol]

Joe and the people behind the curtain want the US in a war. They think it will help them in the midterms and beyond.

I think that’s the angle they’re going for. They’re trying get Russia to force their hand at this point.

Do they, or did they give up that right when YouTube wouldn't have a business without the internet. Thus the basis for my other question. Who owns the internet? I'm thinking it is more a public than private owned entity; which gets to the issue of do you have a right to silence as free speech? Should people be allowed to demonstrate on public property and streets and blast you with information or noise that you don't want to hear and can't easily avoid?

I agree that people should be able to post anything they want as long as it’s not spam or threats. However YouTube is still a private company and can ban anyone they choose. Their specific platform isn’t public and anyone can choose to post or email or make a blog or anything they choose to say what they want. It doesn’t have to be on that private platform

Joe’s handlers wouldn’t think twice about getting a few thousand US soldiers killed if it helped them in an election.

I think that's kind of covered by the elimination of the fairness doctrine, which the right cheered.
What allowed radio stations to fill their time with rightwing talk and no balanced time response from the left is the same principle that allows YouTube to control their content.
The right benefited greatly for decades form the elimination of the fairness doctrine, they're just seeing it from the other side now.

The fairness doctrine was stupid

The left could have started their own stations!

They don't have anywhere near the majority of votes needed.

Idiot

I tend to agree with that; but I also have the conflicting view that YouTube wouldn't exist without the internet, and wide access to the internet wouldn't exist without government backing. I also question whether the 1st Amendment says everybody has to listen to someone's "free speech", or if the government has to listen to what any of us says.

I tend to agree, but to require YouTube to allow content they wish to ban, would require something similar.
I'm not sure that is what the right wishes. They want radio stations to have the freedom to control their content but not companies like YouTube, Twitter, etc.... I'm not sure they see the inconsistencies in their wishes.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No but you can’t understand why your Woolworth’s example doesn’t compare

Why doesn't it compare? Give me your take on the difference between Woolworth's and Youtube both engaging in denying service.

 

[luthervol]

Of course. Same as a right winger could start his own YouTube.

They are going to have to manufacture the consent to get the war started. A chemical or biological attack... possibly even nuclear.

I wouldn't rule out anything.

Then Putin should withdraw. He certainly doesn't want to give Biden what he wants.

Things have been going relatively well for me and my family. (That is what you asked)
In fact, both of my daughters have gotten promotions/raises in the past month.
My son is doing well in his first year of college - has a campus job that he loves - refereeing intramural sports.
My wife and I are both retiring in a couple of months.

Congrats to you on your upcoming retirement. I've been at it for 4 years and love it! Biden is making my non-government pension that doesn't get adjusted for inflation a little less valuable, though. Hopefully yours is democrat proof.

 

[DonjoVol]

I think it is 100% justifiable for a company to refuse to provide a platform for known propaganda if they wish.

Okay. YouTube can ban CNN, MSNBC, and The Young Turks next.

I'm thinking that you would have a different view of the liberal media mob if they leaned right instead of left? How about none of them can block a thing from anyone? How would you feel about that?

Yea, mine is pretty good. Plus, we're both going to work part time (49%).

 

[luthervol]

If that's what they wish to do.
Luckily, that's not what they will wish.
And Fox can start slanting left instead of right, but I doubt that's what they wish to do.

Never going to happen. They are not going to allow porn, animal cruelty etc....and they shouldn't be forced to allow those things.

It was nice knowing you all. No way this doesn’t escalate things to the point of no return.

"No, that's not what I meant" should be biden's campaign slogan if he runs again.
