Yeah, it's the online forums and gaming communities that radicalized me and not the legion of drooling idiots destroying my country at the direction (or at least to the delight) of foreign adversaries. Good job, detective.
Elon sieg heilling twice and then signal boosting facists and illegally cutting democratically approved and institutionally valid spending, that hasn't radicalized anyone.
Totally normal behavior.
It's gotta be the video games and the dark web. What's dark web? It is any web space I don't know about. Duh.
I am not a fan of a few billionaires locking up every freedom we used to have so they can keep trucking toward the world's first trillionaire.
Shouldn't they include Truth social on there?
~~Oracle~~ TikTok isn't on there either.
Oh, that's because they already have a government overseer. And owned by a Party loyalist.
how could you be radicalized with the truth?
Truth and "Truth social" are different things.
Truth is good.
Truth social is an orwellian social network that is at war with the truth.
Besides stating the obvious, in that this government is corrupt, and that the killer was a right-wing nut, there is one thing a ton of these people don't understand.
Most people aren't celebrating the killing of Kirk. Most people are celebrating that his incredibly provocative narrative, that violently rallied the fascists together, won't be spread at the source anymore
Do I want people to die? Nope. Live forever, or of old age or whatever. Do I want people to stop belittling others and spreading hatred and lies and for them to cease it forever? Yes. Do I wish that Kirk saw the light or the end of a gravy train and apologized publicly and disavowed all his bs? I wanted this more than anything. I would also love to see the other propagandists and conspiracists maybe think hard about consequences of their actions and cease their lies, but I live in the real world, unlike them.
Not supporting the killing of Kirk, supporting the death of Kirk. It's a small but important difference.
Most people aren’t celebrating the killing of Kirk
I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure
Most people are simply mentioning how much of a piece of shit he was, and happy that he won't be spewing his nonsense anymore
I hope they all say the same thing:
Shit rolls down hill. You're the hill DC. Fox news and the media are the hill. We're the ditch where the people congregate in and drown in your shit.
Fart Huffman will be too busy boot licking to do that.
Okay, but what if we just repeal or ignore that rule in order to conduct a pogrom of WrongThinkers?
It shuts down Truth social and all social networks. YouTube stops allowing uploads, the fediverse closes up shop, cats and dogs living together.
It doesn't shut the Fediverse; it just means each user needs to run their own instance so that the "user" doing the speech and the "publisher" liable for it are one in the same.
Ah, good point. I guess things would rapidly re-form in the favor of the fediverse if this law was overturned…
Sounds like a monkey paw situation to me!
Anything bad?
Well, it’ll be a difficult transition. But in the long run, maybe not?
As long as the Fourth Estate gets their shit together.
I would not hold my breath
Like everything else, the same laws and rules they have hidden behind to justify and protect their absolute dogshit behavior will be the first things the regime will get rid of for protecting anyone other than their in-group.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Right wing extremism and radicalization?
Nooo problem
A right wing radicalizer gets shot?
We need to investigate radicalization of the online left!
Right wing influencers and pundits are calling for war and killings as we speak.
We'll see how they will be investigated.
No Twitter / X or Truth Social? Is this actually a "why aren't you doing more to radicalize your online forum users towards our ideology" ?
As long as its on the internet, there will be strange people saying strange things.
Also good more censorship! /s
never mind people in the internet, maybe let’s start with the people in congress and on television. oh and, you know, the fucking president.
Absolutely zero of them should go to this.
What are the repercussions of simply ignoring an "invitation" such as this?
Why not X ?
That's the good kind of radicalisation... /s
Left wing radicalisation is bad.
Far right radicalisation is good.
Imagine his surprise when all of these CEO's voice their concerns about the fascist terrorist rhetoric.
I doubt these CEOs will talk about it. Gotta stay on the good side of the Trumpy Regime.
Steve Huffman already wants to be Mini Elon Musk.
And he and his "landed gentry" have been working round the clock to silence negative opinions about shitty people like Musk and Kirk.
If they follow the script, they'll blame Antifa, Obama, and trans people.
I'm assuming it's gonna amount to "your users aren't radicalized enough"
They need to invite lemmy somehow too. I know no ceo but still plenty of radicals. Not just on .ml though that is the worst.
