There are bits of the bitcoin blockchain that have links to or approximations of child pornography, and because it's impossible to edit the blockchain they will never be deleted. So if the Gabchain is used heavily by all the guys who were mad about loli censorship, it will be a crime to possess any bit of it at all.

I have heard this before but wouldn't that make any recipients unwilling and therefor it isn't punishable?

Twitter somewhat pretends to care by deleting tweets with outright racism like n bombs or blaming jews for everything and apparently not being able to post an n-bomb filled rant was the straw the broke the camel's back

They freaked out over Twitter's token efforts to clean things up. Like how Reddit went after a few of the worst offender subreddits and some weirdos freaked out and made Voat.

People who already have it bad also don't vote. It's proven that voter turnout can be estimated consistently by income. If these people don't vote, it's because there isn't even any incremental positive impact in their lives at all from political action.

Or they're disenfranchised, can't get to a voting booth because the nearest one is several miles outside of any form of public transportation, or they can't get the time off because they have to work multiple jobs or weird shifts, are non-voting felons because they were arrested for having half a blunt on them by racial profiling cops, or any number of other reasons that stop people from voting even when they want to.

But yeah, nah, it's gotta be that there won't be immediate gay luxury space communism. Theres simply no other explanations!

this is weird liberal tokenization of minorities and poor people. I think the rational answer is the reasons poor people dont vote are probably a combination of many factors; disenfranchisement, a sense of powerlessness, laziness, and yes, even a dissatisfaction with the political options.

basically, the same reasons any person of any class doesnt vote, plus the additional burdens of being poor and deliberate disenfranchisement.

Im partial to the argument that moving left and making specific material offers to voters will have the twin effect of getting more non-voters to the polls, and when those policies materially improve their lives, alleviating other material factors that make voting difficult. its gonna be a virtuous cycle: offer them what they need now, and theyll vote for you, and when their needs are met, even more votes for you.

but you cant do this unless you put your boot on the neck of the donor and consultant class of the party and tell them to wiggle if theyre still getting too much air.

I reported it as someone impersonating Loomer. She either proves she's the real Loomer, admitting she's evading a suspension, or they shut the account for being an imposter. Seems like a win win.

The reason bitcoin is advertized as "unhackable" is that every transaction ever is stored in what is basically a massive uneditable spreadsheet which is stored across a shitton of servers. This is the blockchain. There's a lot of reasons this is unsustainable, the main one being that every time a transaction happens, the system gets a little slower, and it's growing much faster than our capacity to update it. Some jokers managed to embed child porn into the spreadsheet itself, and there's no way to get it out without tearing down the entire system.

Twitter still has guidelines, and will ban nazis if they fail to coach their rhetoric in the requisite dogwhistles. Gab is for nazis who are too dumb to say "1488 :wink:" instead of "gas the jews, I love Hitler."

I'm not saying that poor people don't abstain from voting because they are dissatisfied with the political system, I'm saying it's retarded to pretend that's the only reason for depressed turnout among lower income brackets.

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
I just want to say I hate most of you and myself for participating and this thread being moved to CSPAM was a loving catastrophe. Like honestly, we have the funniest day for this thread, some idiot with red text who apparently is well known to go on aggressive rants and routinely derail threads comes in and posts 50 times in 2 pages and get probated, and then a bunch of dudes start complaining that the lovely democrats aren't good enough so why bother voting for even more pages. At least in GBS we got the actual nutters, not just a bunch of shitheads who want to complain about the same garbage american politics in every thread.

I woke up to 120 posts and figured Wohl was arrested in his underwear while huffing spray paint. What a fuckin' disappointment.
