if china shoots down Nancy Pelosi's plane it will be quite possibly the funniest thing anyone's ever done

As much as I can't stand Pelosi, getting into WW3 isn't worth it.

when was the last time you responded like this to a post advocating for violence towards gay or trans people?

What loving alternate dimension do you live in in which any social media post even anywhere akin to that isn't nuked from orbit the instant it's posted? Unless you're on one of the chans, that stuff doesn't last five seconds on any major social media platform.

Not even the """""Alt-Right""""" ones, since I know they'll be brought up. Because if they even so much as allow a peep of any violent speech it's headline news for loving weeks.

don't worry about answering it's rhetorical.

POV It's you:

in short, all republicans should consider dying at their earliest convenience. I think it would be really funny and hilarious

This is evil and does nothing but reinforce this statement:

the left is a cesspit of hatred.

oh no, I have spent all of my time on the blockland forum up to this point dedicated singly to being liked by conservatives, what ever will I do

From a more pragmatic sense.

If your idea is to pass these laws to have less gun violence. Instigating and supporting gun violence
against Americans who don't eat, breath and sleep Federal Policy kinda makes it seem like this
has nothing to do with protecting life at all.

Two traitorous RINOs voted yes and one did not vote on the bill while five standout Dems voted no.

https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022410

TRAITORS:
Brian K. Fitzpatrick (PA)
Chris Jacobs (NY)

NO VOTE:
Anthony Gonzalez (OH)

STANDOUTS:
Henry Cuellar (TX)
Jared F. Golden  (ME)
Vicente Gonzalez (TX)
Ron Kind (WI)
Kurt Schrader (OR)

Had those traitors not voted yes, HR 1808 would not have passed and been
one step closer from stomping on the Gun Rights of millions of Americans present
and future.

In response to a law that limited how many independent contractors a company could have, truckers have began blockading a critical california port.
This short sighted and stupid law will cost them their jobs, since truckers are overwhelmingly independent contractors.

do you understand the concept of "some things can be good and others can be bad based on moral choices" or are you the kind of person that think we should repeal the entire constitution if we dont like 1 amendment that the constitution allows us to amend

There is amending the constitution, and then there's ignoring the constitution. The Democrats choose the latter because they KNOW they can't
successfully amend the constitution. In choosing to willfully and actively violate the constitution, they set a legal precedent that the constitution
comes second to political goals and ideology. That's why you hear arguments toward violations of other amendments. Because when you ignore
any part of the constitution in passing a law, you ignore all of them.

Then, when it is tried in court, the court will rule that there is precedent from another law violating the constitution in "a negligible way." enough to
justify letting this violation slide. And then the next court ruling will use that legal ruling as precedent. Precedent builds Precedent, and when you
set the precedent for them violating one of your constitutional rights, they set the precedent to violate ALL of your constitutional rights.

Yeah but that's just life what're you gonna do, ban all guns? Plus once the guns are banned, then knife attacks become the norm and when you hear 10+ people get knifed is it gonna be "we need common sense knife control" or do you just go well forget me

The point is, x is the most efficient Flash Mob tool, so x is used. x is banned, y becomes the most efficient Flash Mob tool, then z, then so on until the government tries to regulate forks to have quarter inch pikes so you cant stab someone w/ them idk

It becomes apparent how insignificant guns really are in the grand scheme of things when you look up the most deadly Flash Mobs of all time, where the overwhelming majority of them are not gun related. Mostly bomb or chemical. Or plane.

To most people, perception is reality. When they hear about shootings daily/weekly/monthly, they're going to believe them to be the biggest issue. Quantitative data will be ignored. Historical precedent and patterns will be considered "conspiracy theories".

They'll come for your guns. When shootings are no longer able to be stretched across every news cycle. Then it will be knives, or cars, or soda, or whatever is sensational.
It won't stop, because guns aren't being banned for any sane or rational reason. They're being banned because people are afraid. And people are afraid because the media has
put them into a sense of perpetual fear.

The more a person watches 24/7 news media, the more likely they are to be a shaking, terrified mess. They'll probably believe there are shooters around every corner, kidnappers and rapists in every van, tribals in every white person and whatever unhinged insane extreme perspectives you can imagine.

Especially now that the media has so many legal precedents and bullstuff laws that protect them in insane ways. But even if it didn't, we'd still be on the track to insanity.
Because fear is the key component, and over-exposure is the main tactic.

It doesn't matter if we're all that different from other countries or not. It doesn't matter what's actually the most common type of death in the U.S.
What matters is what people are afraid of. People weren't sitting around terrified after 9/11 that they'd die in a car accident. Nobody was afraid of
dying in a coal mine or coal plant after Chernobyl. People are more concerned about random people's drones spying on them than their omnipresent phone.

It's not ever been about what's actually a problem. It's about what people believe to be a problem.

in the unexpected route, Google has gone around and done everything to make sure those results don't show up in searches.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEfyaAq90kg

While I recognize most won't see this as a political news situation, there is a greater context that needs to be spoken of here.

This is a chat system designed to track, report and ban wrong thinking users to instill fear in the user base to stop them from
speaking freely. And while alone, this could just be seen as an overbearing action of a cautious corporation trying to avoid angry parents,
this is where I believe things get much, much worse.

Minecraft Java recently had their users move over from Mojang Accounts to Xbox Live accounts. I believe this is because they're going to
introduce a full platform ban system. Where if you're banned for """""""""""hatespeech"""""""""""""" on Minecraft because you said a nono word
in your single player world, you're banned across all Xbox Live games, and it will likely get worse from there. 

This might sound ridiculous if you don't have the full context, so allow me to put it in perspective. A few years back Patreon implemented a
rule in their TOS to allow for them to ban users who had violated their rules on other platforms. This was adopted by many other web services
over the years. Youtube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon have all implemented similar rules into their TOS.

I believe following the act of full platform bans, we will see cross-platform bans. If you're banned on Twitter, you're banned across the Corpoverse.

You will not be safe anywhere. No matter what you think, what opinions you hold. If you're against the machine in any way, or perceived as such.
Your life will be over.

The QuantumTV Controversy should be full proof of this. The corporations do not hold political opinions. They don't care. They just try to stay with the most "popular" political opinion
of their time without it effecting their bottom line. QuantumTV is an unhinged truly far-right extremist being kept on the platform because of a fear of violating leftist doctrines and getting
in trouble with their advertisers.

They have unattainable standards, and these standards are unknown.

TL;DR Megacorps are slowly pushing towards a dystopian future where they control the public discourse literally anywhere.
