@johnnylogic People forget all he did, and what he wanted to do. @ohuu

@ohuu Because Aaron Swartz got caught.

@freemo On thanksgiving, I typically think of the stories of the Shooter and the Farmer, and it's relationship to the fundamental laws of the universe.

Also, this year, I have 2 Turkeys.

@freemo I remember looking into this before, years ago with conflicting results. Your version and Christian Squanto version, and the failure of their communist experiment. Think I need to revisit the issue, as I never came to a good conclusion of what probably happened.

@rrb I will watch that when I get home, but I have about a hundred examples in my head already.

I actually think we are nearly identically aligned on the situation, surprisingly, as this perspective isn't popular, at least not openly.

@rrb that's one of the best statements I have heard on this platform. Well said.

@rrb your not going to like this, but I think you might think there is a lot of right wing violence, because that's all the news shoves in your face. Same goes for Fox news watchers. One type of violence shoved in there face. I think violence is typically distributed thru all political persuasions. Personally I think the whole point of both of these narratives is to further divide people. If you split the country in 2, the people will look to there peer opponents, instead of looking to all the wrong doing of the people that govern them, and the elites in the oligarchy. But that's just me.

@rrb see, this was a good discussion, and I bet you thought it may turn out poorly.

@rrb I've still to see only speculation on the shooters motives, but find it plausible its a hate crime. I just like to wait on all evidence and disregard conjecture before I make a hard stance.

@rrb I actually agree 100% with this statement.

@rrb I talked with a few people the other day about the shooting. 2 f us disagreed with the one that said that Boeberts tweet "children should go to church, not drag shows" directly resulted in the CO shooting. I obviously thought this w as a ridiculous stretch, guessing you may agree with him.

@rrb I am aligned with the old ACLU as well, but the old one wouldn't be aligned with the new one, or current thoughts. That's fine, we all have opinions.

I agree on one layer with you about musk on advertising, but the next layer of the onion I wouldn't. While public ally advertisers will show concern, they will go where the money is, and userbase.

@rrb seems the opposite for Peterson. Seems like he's forcing monogamy on men. But I have to read more into quotes context. If that Taylor Greene is absolutely accurate, I might agree on that with you. But again, quotes out context, or quotes only acknowledged from one political party show bias. Biden is still on Twitter. He has spread misinformation many of times. Things like "I went to (Syracuse) law school on a full academic scholarship. Ended up in the top half of my class. I won the international moot-court competition. . . . I was the outstanding student in the political science department (as an undergraduate). . . . I graduated with three degrees from college" were all misinformation/lies. Journalists fact check it, he gets called out and drops out race. But he should be allowed to say what he want with no legal action, its free speech, just like when he said "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." When talking about Obama. I think we both agree this is a very poor statement, but I think he should be allowed to say it.

@slider7420 better?

@rrb too be clear, I don't believe he is a free speech "absolutist" like claims. More so than the last Twitter admin but, definitely has his faults in the free speech regard

@rrb like what?
