@thenightingale7405 right, and the brown shirts were just following orders too.

Or a picture of himself and Trump laughing hysterically.

The state of civil courts in the US is one of the biggest societal problems we're facing, it's gone so far away from people actually seeking compensation for something wrong that was done to them, and mutated into people just trying to get rich off of a technicality.

Funny, I haven't heard anyone on the left parroting that "private platform" thing lately....

@thenightingale7405 I get what you're saying in principle, but at the same time, that "it's just a job" mentality is a big reason that so many big companies do such unethical things. If more people stood on principle and said "I won't work for your company if you're doing that", then companies would be more accountable by society to act in more ethical ways.

@Prof_Bort_Yammy I'm not one of those super traditional conservative types, but I do find myself agreeing with them more often than I used to. The whole "moral decay of society" talking points used to make me kinda roll my eyes, like oh calm down, I don't want to be the morality police. But when you look at where we are as a society, it's hard to argue against it. I work for a small family owned kennel, doing boarding and doggie day care, stuff like that, my bosses are Christian conservatives, they're very politically involved and give a lot back to a lot of good causes. And I love it, I sleep good at night knowing that I'm working somewhere that provides a good service, owned and operated by good people. I'm not saying everyone who works at McDonald's or Walmart is a monster, I used to work at McDonald's, but I wish more people actually cared about what their job really stands for, and who is running the business. One person can't really change much about the moral character of our society, but if everyone acted like they could, or hell even about 60% of people acting like they could, we really could make a positive change in that way.

@Prof_Bort_Yammy oh absolutely. I've been talking about it a lot lately, the trans ideology being pushed on kids will be looked back on the same way we look at lobotomies now, like holy hell, they just carved people's brains up and everyone was fine with that!?!?!? And in a lot of cases the lobotomy patients weren't even "crazy", it was just people with chronic stress or anxiety, or any number of other disorders that people just live with in a lot of cases. Barbaric. And that was only half a century ago. We have this delusion that we're civilized now, so much smarter than all those stupid brutes of old days, and every generation feels that way, and every generation is wrong. There's always things we're doing now that future generations will look back on as barbarism. And the sad part is, there were definitely people back then in the moment saying hey, maybe let's not carve people's brains up. Yea? Just like you and I and so many other people are saying right now with what's being pushed by the left. But those people, probably like you and I now, were mocked and ridiculed by the powerful institutions that push this nonsense, and their idiot lemmings that follow everything they say.

Leftists love free markets, as long as the free market does exactly what they want.

@thenightingale7405 true, it was a hyperbolic example, but they're still pieces of shit who were contributing to the coordinated subversion of elections and public perception. I'm not buying that "it was just a job" crap, they knew what they were doing. Same as I couldn't have any respect for someone who works for one of those scam companies that make all the annoying phone calls trying to trick people into giving personal information. That's "just a job" too, but there are plenty of jobs where you can make an honest living that doesn't require screwing vulnerable people over.

@lordkuriki5475 seriously, if I found out my employers were involved in some shady and unethical shit, I'm out of there. Maybe I'm just being idealistic, but that kind of thing does matter to me. The most generous I can be towards Twitter employees is that they're just amoral, and don't really care about what's going on over their head as long as they get a paycheck. But that's pretty damn generous, in all likelihood they're immoral scumbags who actively support the leftist tyranny of big tech.

@Prof_Bort_Yammy yea I'm an atheist too, that's probably the main reason I don't subscribe to all the traditionally conservative positions. But I guess I could consider myself loosely "culturally Christian", if that makes sense. I agree with the general framework of christian morality, just not the religious and supernatural aspect. And the left has pushed me significantly further towards the pro life side, I still understand the arguments for abortion sometimes being the "lesser evil", so I can't fully support a complete ban of all abortions. But holy hell, nobody should be pro abortion. These people are insane, to pretend like there are no moral implications is just delusional, they treat it like it's the same as clipping your toenails or getting a haircut. It's completely unhinged.
