They are not soldiers. They do not kill each other.

They shout at each other on camera. Their animosity is probably exaggerated. At least one commentator brought up meeting him in person, in a debate, as a reason his death affected them more. Soldiers rarely meet opposing soldiers in such good terms as even the spiciest debate.

There is a reason propaganda needs to dehumanize and otherize the “enemy”.

Probably he also doesn’t like black people.

Thanks for the correction, my bad

I also agree you should not be able to call people slurs. You should be punished but not by your employer.

But neither divisive nor hateful is a slur, neither are they inaccurate statements about Kirk. NBC most likely did not take the decision to fire the guy based on ethics.

Now let’s say another news anchor grows some balls and says “Israel is committing genocide” and their channel fires them. Do you also think it’s not a violation of free speech? That they should face consequences?

I am talking about free speech, not the second amendment, morality and ethics not US law.

Does that work on the Mars colony as well?

No, you are conflating the first amendment, a limited protection of free speech, with free speech itself.

It is very much a violation of free speech, its just not illegal. It still is immoral.

EDIT: fixed second amendment to first amendment

So you are saying videogames fixed them?

If it does not require an iPhone yes, side loading is just a few taps away.

But what is this mythical app that needs side loading? There’s matrix apps even on Apple’s app store.

Because it’s unavailable to the vast majority of people?

You can’t solve your problems if you even refuse to admit them. Russia could go away tomorrow and the US’s course towards fascism would not change.

It’s been all too obvious since I joined Lemmy that Russia’s APT groups are pushing narratives on us.

The stats are for a subreddit genius.

Trump may be s Russian asset but the US extreme right and it’s wish for a violent civil war is a homegrown phenomenon. As is American political illiteracy.

Yes, you probably haven’t. If an entity or person does not have a presence in a country it should not be subject to those laws. Their home country should reject enforcing any penalties or extraditing their citizen. Of course the US is the most notorious and more successful in getting people that never had any meaningful relation to the US extradited.

I also don’t think the UK or an EU nation’s court should be able to try a case against a US government agency, say the FDA because they do not follow the same standards. Or even against ICE agents because they abduct people.

Democratic countries should be able to have their own laws even if larger countries disagree with them.

Do you seriously think 4chan is in danger of having the fines collected? They are just right wingers trying to spur the US government into blackmailing the UK into changing their laws to align with US sensibilities and ‘values’. Fuck that.

Fuck the censorship but a non-US government should not be tried in a US court.

More like they want to push copyright enforcement/expansion by using something people care about. Similar to “think of the children”.

They did try to push copyright as a solution to revenge porn, in effect pushing a private alternative justice system based on DMCAs and payment processor blackmail.

We should get bespoke laws to deal with deepfake problems.

I measured the heights of myself and my niece and found them to be different, clearly a double standard must be involved.

You yourself mentioned a lot of differences between corporate app stores and distros’ software repositories. Why are you surprised people rate them differently?

Perhaps because your standards are different from more Linux users’ standards.

I for example would rather take my chances with a random volunteer rather than trust a corporation that had a history of breaking laws and I know it to want to make money off me.

Does not get you control, this is just the government giving money to big corporations which is perfectly in line with actual capitalism (as.practiced, not the fairy tale version).

Real capitalists will also have no problem with the government taking over a failing company, paying off it’s debts and later selling it at a loss to them.

To be fair there were irregularities, the guy they wanted should not have even made it to the second round.

Makes sense the won’t try holding a repeat vote.
