Get bashed, platonist!

I really like when someone commits a crime and then reacts with shock and dismay when they are punished for it. A good example would be that guy who beat up his girlfriend, and cried because his promising basketball career was ended by the three years in prison he got. There was also that guy who was a police officer (?) and used his power to rape women, particularly women of color. He cried when he got sentenced, and it was on his birthday, and his victims lined up outsde the courtroom to sing happy birthday as he was lead away.

Does anyone have some of those I might not have seen? Maybe a complation?

I don't have anything new to offer, but thank you for reminding me about that cop. Watching him cry and snivel and keep bringing his head down to the table as he's sentenced to over 250 years in prison, and the attorneys just dutifully take notes, is really excellent and I forgot how much joy it brought me.

As janky as that take off ramp looks - it did the job.

Kinda wish he had landed on the landing ramp, cause I have a sneaky suspicion it would have exploded. But it's not like the outcome would be much different. Just with added chunks of splintered wood.

Not always, but I believe this was a case where they were consecutive years. So not a single life sentence, but enough years on enough consecutive counts that he'd have a hard time not serving basically a life sentence if any get reduced for whatever god forsaken reason.

Making sentences run consecutively is basically a huge gently caress you from the judge. Like "I can't sentence you literally to life in prison for these crimes, but I can effectively do that you piece of poo poo."

gently caress Nazis, but I'm always somewhat against this, and it always makes me think of this text:

quote:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

-- Martin Niemöller

We all hate Nazis and I'm somewhat happy when they get reduced. But I also think that freespeech is important and dislike the fact that Discord gets to decide themselves how to handle it without a warning, a vote, a discussion or anything.

What if the people who hate nazis... are the real nazis? :thunk:

quote:

It also banned the altfurry discord and that wasn't even alt-right it was explicitly apolitical. People cirlcejerking over how great it is that some far-right servers got banned are completely missing the fact many completely neutral servers got the axe and their admins got banned.

I would never have become a nazi furry if I thought I would catch this much flak for it!

As I said in another thread, the 1st applies to Twitter the same way it applies to hand-operated printing presses: the government can’t keep you from speaking via them. Or am I missing some way that the 1st is indeed special on Twitter vs any other privately owned channel?

The 1st amendment does not apply to people's privilege to use Twitter.

Harvard Law School’s Noah Feldman posted:

There’s no right to free speech on Twitter. The only rule is that Twitter Inc. gets to decide who speaks and listens—which is its right under the First Amendment

It's not about the government stopping you from speaking on the platform, it's about the owners of the platform deciding they don't want you using it for hatespeech.

Anyway.

The 1st applies to government regulation of speech. That 100% applies to people’s use of Twitter. It applies to Twitter and billboards equally. The 1st has never had anything to say owner of any private platform, so saying it doesn’t apply to Twitter because it has nothing to do with constraining private owners is like saying the 2nd has nothing to do with pistols because it doesn’t deal with people drawing pictures of them.

i really shouldn't have to explain this, but when people they say the 1st amendment applies to twitter, they mean it's a violation of their constitutional rights whenever twitter deletes their posts and/or bans them

The right to free speech means that the government cannot arrest you for what you say.

It doesn't mean that a private company owes you a platform just because you want one. It doesn't compel a private company to host your speech - in fact, that would be a breach of Twitter's first amendment rights. The government can't arrest you for what you say, nor can they make you say something you don't want to. A private company can kick whoever the gently caress it wants off their platform because they're a private company and owe you nothing.

But where the 1st doesn't apply is Twitter or the owner of the billboard refusing to let certain groups or people use their service. This isn't government regulation of speech, it's private discretion regarding the usage of their property.

If Twitter or Discord kick you out for being a Nazi, you haven't been silenced. You're perfectly welcome to find a nice street corner or public park to preach from. At least, until your face swells up too much for speech.

Yes, all of that is very simple. The post is saying “the 1st applies to Twitter even though it’s new”. Everything you say applies to every other privately owned channel in exactly the same way, per the post.

Yes, I have never said otherwise. The post doesn’t say otherwise either.

Given the current US government’s relationship to the press and the truth, the 1st amendment protections applied to Twitter communication are not irrelevant to discuss.

I told you, you’re giving the twitter idiot too much credit. He is saying that twitter violates his constitutional rights by banning him. He is claiming the ability to use twitter is a fundamental right. It’s not spelled out that way, but it is always what he’s actually saying. If you keep giving the fascist gun-fellatiating psycho the benefit of the doubt, people are going to start questioning your motives.
