MODERATORS
It's going to continue to be a problem for moderators, because people genuinely want the death of billionaires and CEOs. Every for-profit platform is going to ban calling for the deaths of CEOs, because the owners of the company don't want that kind of speech around.
This is why decentralized pseudo-platforms like the Fediverse are so important, so people can make their actual thoughts, feelings and desires known, and speak to each other about it. When Luigi capped Thompson, we all got this amazing moment where our pain hurt and rage were validated through knowing we weren't alone in our desire to kill the ruling class. That's genuinely dangerous to people like Thompson.
It's not just that - somehow 20 years ago being happy about Saddam Hussein's death wasn't something to be moderated, neither was being against it. People would call to kill all kinds of people. I think printed newspapers and TV weren't all that reserved either.
It's now, in our time, when censorship is being treated not just like something normal, but like something that has always been there.
And also you can't build a civilization by the rules that it makes. You'll have less and less entropy on each stage, and you will come to a rules' deadlock, and if you don't resolve that deadlock violently, then your civilization dies. And preferably deadlocks will be resolved violently before they threaten the whole of your civilization.
So yes, one crook managed to appear clean before law, but was wasted by a brave young man. Cheers to Luigi for doing what the legal system should.
20 years ago the net didn't have to be 1000% advertiser friendly
If we can't say kill or fuck, then its way harder to have a meaningful discussion about it, one that isn't shoehorned into a pre built narrative that must include murder is bad, but cannot say murder is not only bad. For example.
If we want to thrive, we must be allowed to err on the wrong side (whatever side that is).
But I guess we'll be harder to manipulate if we are allowed to discuss.
Any moderator who bans violent speech should be treated by the users as corrupt, and their community should be avoided.
He is just an officer in the cartel, he is not the owner class.
People who are lashing out against public opinion are the real owners. They know that if public starts naming them, it will get uncomfortable.
They need a docile and divided population so they can keep looting.
No country has this much corporate grift, it is a beautiful set up.
no one person owns UHG, it's owned by financial Mafias like Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, JP Morgan, Fidelity.
Take a look at any company that deals in; healthcare, defense, real estate, shipping, communications, entertainment, literally anything to do with Nestlé, ect.. and you will see a dark depressing pattern.
The US doesn't exist within a vacuum for oligarchy. The whole world has been enslaved already. When you see or hear about "the investors" they're talking about the ones above.
that's why I laugh at anyone who thinks simply not buying from "xyz" source has any impact. they still get your money, just from a different route.
