The government isnāt censoring anyone on X or FB or IG or TikTok (needs US owners, though). Those are corporations that are choosing algorithms and moderation strategies to exclude certain posts, mostly for commercial reasons, not high-minded philosophical positions around free speech.
Musk can burn X to the ground unless his investors have some leverage with him. Someone will fill the gap vacated by X. Thatās capitalism. This is simple.

I donāt think thatās snowskier. I recall him writing long responses and typically well
written, in terms of punctuation, spelling, and selection of correct words. Thatās not what Toxic gives us. Or, are you saying zeroprideās EC stance and other right leanings is same as snowās ?
Fyi, last snowskier post was in May 2023 I think.
Speaking of coogs missing from action, anybody hear from Norbert in awhile ? He
was pretty active for time. I just wonder
from time to time what happens to folks that drop out, tune out, and turn on to something else ?

He seems to be doing a pretty good job at that. Amount of money and time he throws into X is amazing. But, he NEEDS public attention to help justify his existence.
Frankly, Iām surprised there has not been a capitalistic alternative to X at this point. Threads doesnāt seem to be setting the world on fire. But, lack of ability to make a profit in the twitter space probably keeps fools from rushing in.
Mob rule applies to the president as well and they understood that otherwise the would have implemented popular vote from the start. The legitimately feared that mob rule and a charismatic president could unravel the government.
There is plenty of proof of what happen was a president gets too much power, then tend to abolish what ever kept them as bay. This would be protections from the government.
You didnāt address what I said.
Mob rule def applies the presidency, thus the EC. Please stop acting like it doesnt. Thats the whole point of the EC even with a representative government.
Furthermore a new Supreme court can and should overturn said decision.
Whatās the difference between mob rule and democracy?
To the framers, not much, because the minority is often unheard.
Lol democracy is mob rule
Minorities are the mob, come on you know that.

Voting is letting the mob rule. Our founders didnāt want our votes to count. Long live the electoral college, or else each vote would count the same

Why are they so afraid of people voting? One party promotes voting while the other works tirelessly to suppress voting, how democratic.

@zeropride Toxic, where are you ?
Technically true. Mob rule is democracy.
Everyone realizes we elect people to represent us. Some states allow referendums on issues, but most laws are made by elected officials. We donāt have anything like direct democracy, nor should we.
