I'm starting to see patter with Trump supporters. They immediately pivot to "Hillary Supporters do... THINGS!" that mysteriously can't be documented without wanting to own up to what a large number of their side is on video doing.

I'd ask these people even if their mysterious accusations are true that Hillary supporters, Hillary, Bill and Obama have all said and done worse things than Trump and his supporters, do two wrongs make a right?

Only what's the point? There is literally nothing Trump and his ilk could do that would make his detractors go "that's too far." And if they did, it would be media lies.

Oh and here's some more anti-BLM "I'M NOT RACIST BUT THESE UPPITY..."



Facebook friend also posted that bullshit "Democrats opposed the amendment that ended slavery" so who's the racist party now?! When someone called him out on it the response he has was "Check out this youtube video of some dude with a webcam and microphone talk about how that's not true"

Are the black bars above and below the image macro just "I'm too lazy to hold my finger on an image to save it or share it so I'll just take a screencap of my entire phone screen instead"?

All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Fry.

It really isn't. The person making it doesn't understand why they're being accused of racism. To them, it seems like any time you don't put everyone else before white people you're accused of racism, and by that logic choosing to go to Canada rather than Mexico must be racist. It's a perfect illustration of why the message they're receiving about racism is dumb and why it's important to actually take the time to explain yourself rather than simply writing people off as stupid and calling them names.

I didn't suggest they should have done anything. You said that web browser developers, mobile OS makers, ISPs and cable providers "have a lot to answer for here, since they didn't do anything to stem the spread of misleading content" and I'm asking you what it is that you think they should have done. If there's nothing they should have done then they have nothing to answer for. So what is the responsibility that they had and how should they have addressed it?

Facebook is not infrastructure. They chose to be a news source (I'm talking about the automatically generated "see also" links in case you want to be clever, not the news shared by users), they chose an editorial policy for their news. It's on them

Sorry, I was being ironic, extending the argument that Facebook is obliged to act. The whole stack delivered the content.

Those links aren't recommendations, and they aren't labeled as such. They choose everything that shows up in feed algorithmically.

Yes, they publish content and "algorithmic" is their editorial policy. We don't disagree but we read different things into it
