I'm currently on twitter trying to educate a Q believer on the horror of Bonsai Kittens. She says she's "heard of it but doesn't want to look."

Can we talk about how stupid and unconstitutional these anti-deplatforming laws are?

It's good when it's used to go after things republicans don't like, like the arts or education. The constitution is only good when the most incompetent reading of it justifies our needs for penis totem's, it's bad when it restricts our rights to be bigots or violent.

It's a special kind of brain that can find space to entertain both "you can't force a baker to make a cake for a gay wedding" and "it's good to force Twitter to host Nazi content" Florida is truly a land of contrasts.

Lammasu posted:Can we talk about how stupid and unconstitutional these anti-deplatforming laws are? They’re awful, but even beyond the legal implications, they do a poor job of understanding the scale of the social networks they’re targeting. You just have to look at how Facebook was more than happy to just ban news links to its Australian users rather than let the Australian government dictate fee structures, and in doing so, managed to force the government to basically let them do whatever they want anyway so long as they pay some kiss-off money to “local news.” IMO, all Florida’s legislation will likely do if it even survives the inevitable legal challenges is just inspire a stricter TOS for Florida, passive-aggressive bans that stop just short of limits, and probably plenty of product messaging explaining exactly who is to blame if you run afoul.

Lib and let die posted:It's a special kind of brain that can find space to entertain both "you can't force a baker to make a cake for a gay wedding" and "it's good to force Twitter to host Nazi content" The common denominator on both of these for the conservative is that they hurt other people. That's the depth of the analysis. Queue up any of the many examples of a conservative pundit being vociferously for something awful until they are affected by it. Oddly enough, the anti-mask, vaccine passport thing could easily be argued as an invasion of privacy similar to Roe V Wade. "I say I already have had COVID-19 (or the vaccine) and recovered so I am not going to wear a mask and you can't see my medical records." But that would be admitting a personal right to privacy from government intrusion so they never even tried going there as far as I am aware.

I saw a lady in the store today with a mask that read "wearing it out of FORCE, not out of FEAR" and all I cold think of was thank you, whatever it takes I guess. But just to go out of your way to cry to the world about how oppressed you are for wearing a piece of fabric in your face is just..something. Thanks for playing, middle aged cranky lady in the grocery store.

It is wrong to mandate people wear a piece of cloth on their face that at best is literally saving lives, and at worst pointless but harmless while providing others with some measure of a sense of security. On the other hand, if you show up to work without a tie we will fire your trashy rear end.

Look it's fine when it's a private business enforcing a dress code. Unless it's a store that I frequent, then it's horrible communiosocialism.

And what about high end restaurants and snooty country clubs with strict dress codes? Aren't those mostly patronized by rich republican types and therefore not tyranny?

Lots of stupid people got exposed to the same propaganda and managed to not become Nazis, let alone openly treasonous ones. Stupidity is necessary to become a fascist, but it is not sufficient. You have to be deficient in both morals and intellect.

It’s difficult to mount a zealous defense when your client is on video committing his crimes and admitting he committed his crimes, so at that point you just call him an idiot and hope the court has mercy https://mobile.twitter.com/LightsCameraPod/status/1287771905248952322

He's going to argue that he isn't responsible for what he did, its aspergers fault, it's Trump's fault, whatever, he's too stupid to be held responsible. Like how (white) children are not prosecuted for an accidental murder as adults, that kind of thing.

"Watkins is also known for his “outside of the box” handling of matters, including a request for a “toasted ravioli smackdown” as a means by which to settle a case; the promotion of an “empathy seminar” at the polar bear pit at the world renowned St. Louis Zoo and his colorful court presentation in a suit against Disney in connection with an intellectual property case involving Santa Paws." It's literally Saul Goodman
