A couple of hundred people attacked the capitol in a crowd of 500,000+. Do you remember the phrase 'mostly peaceful protesters'? We've been hearing it for 8+ months after violent riots in major cities which resulted in 30+deaths, hundreds of innocent people attacked, and 1 billion+ in property damage.
"There are wrong opinions, and then there is “six million Jews were not enough” and “hang the Vice President”, and a violent mob attacking the Capitol. No one is under any obligation to tolerate such actions in a civil society."
Antifa and BLM have taken over multiple state and federal buildings over the past 8 months. In June, for instance, multiple fires were set all over DC. A church was nearly burnt to the ground and the President had to go to an underground bunker as a result of the threats outside the white house.
Unlike the protests in January 6th (which was an unorganized mess of random people), BLM and Antifa are professional rioters/criminals. They wear masks to protect themselves and have corporate backing from large left-leaning organizations.
Instead of concern, local leaders painted BLM and named a major street after them.
I'm not sure why you only seem to care when it's Trump supporters. Political violence is wrong on both sides, but only one political not only supported it, but paid the bail of rioters and continue to deny that it even exists. The real criminals are about to get into office.
"If I advocate for your murder, am I just expressing an opinion that should be consequence free if someone kills you? Does that change if enough people agree with me that you should be killed?"
You do realize Trump never said any of this, right? Him and his entire campaign have denounced the violence repeatedly. If you listened to the speech before the capitol was attacked, it was not full of any sort of energy. He basically said that it was all in Pence's hands. Supporters were actually angry because he sounded so defeated. This doesn't sound like the actions of someone trying to storm the Capitol.
The media+tech companies+incoming administration are censoring and destroying their political opponents for things they themselves have been supporting and instigating for 4 years.
If it wasn't so scary, I would call it pathetic actions from limp-dick journalists.
We live in a digital age. If having the wrong opinion means you can get your bank accounts and all Internet presence removed from you, it's not any different than living under a fascist government.
There were other allegations that Dominion machines were attached to local networks for updates during election night. Were they? I have no idea. There as no investigation. Only denial.
I personally have used dead people's names (with DoB and city) in a few of the battleground states and I could see they not only received a ballot on election night, but sent it back. How could this possibly happen?
This was passed off as 'fake news'.
I'm not going to repeat all of the other claims, but we had a bigger investigation on Trumps Russian collusion, which had a fraction of the evidence.
If I could put in a handful of names into a government site and see this, I can't imagine the amount actually in these databases.
The sickest part is that people just aren't curious. They hate Trump so much, they want to win at all costs.
After so much time has passed and state leaders have rejected any and all calls for investigation (and big tech sites have censored anyone that questioned it), even if there was evidence at one point in time, it would be long gone by now. These investigations should have been immediate.
The Democrats are now going to usher in some of the worst laws imaginable for free speech. It has already started with the de-platforming of Parler.
At some point talking time will indeed be over, and it will be a time for action.
In Georgia, a security professional proved that machines were not only attached to the Internet, but were getting updates from servers outside the country and had the ability to be updated in real-time.
This was never investigated.
You are also only saying this because your side is the one doing the censoring. If Republicans had control of all tech and media and you were almost completely censored, I think your opinion would change.
I sleep much better and can now wake up without an alarm. I also have lots of energy the entire day.
It was removed the day this hack went public.
I don't believe in coincidences.
The unintended consequences of this would be stunning. But I suspect if the people that enacted these proposals were ever around to see the results, they would shift the blame.
"Carbon tax should be so high that nobody asks if they should fly but if they can afford to fly."
Just like all of these types of proposals, they only help the rich and powerful. Propose gun control? But hire private guards with guns to protect you. Propose Universal health care? But have the best private care in the world that the rest of us will no longer be able to afford.
We also aren't focusing on the actual source of the problem. The US only accounts for around 25% of total carbon emission. India and China make up a much larger percentage, yet can can continue to pollute and destroy the environment with impunity while gaining power in the process. While economies shrink in places that have strict carbon emission rules, China doesn't follow those same rules and grows. It's sort of like playing baseball when the other team is allowed to take steroids.
..and before you tell me about per/capita and 'fairness', this doesn't really matter in the end when humanity is destroyed.
"destroys the curious conversation that it's supposed to be for"
This makes no sense. How is me asking questions and stating opinions that make others think destroying curiosity?? It does the exact opposite.
"If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful."
I never violated any of your rules. The real issue is that you are so blinded by your own personal political ideology, you see any other views as somehow offensive. It's actually part of the problem we have in our society today.
