Thank you for having the courage to post this. It's a relief to see that others understand we're not going to make it out of this by remaining silent.


You would think the fact that the ICE goons aren't actually being used for deportations would make these people start to question what they're actually for, but I guess if they were capable of that they never would have believed something like "migrants are the cause of America's economic problems" in the first place.


If it's helpful to note, Twitter was always intended to become what it has become. We need to return to organizing our own networks free of this control.


Ah, but that's where our opinions differ. I'm a Twitter expatriate, cast out for daring to have a simple, different, honest opinion. Tried and tried, but the Twitter gods continue to ban me. If you look at my recent past comments, you'll note the negative Twitter influence that reaches, even here. Corruption is everywhere, in my view.


John Cleese, JK Rowling, and Eric Weinstein are all flogging this on X, it's hilarious. They've got all their best old codgers on the case!


Not to mention genocidal venture capitalists like Shaun Macguire at Sequoia.


Inshallah


It's about putting an unaccountable army of masked goons on American streets.


Yes in America you can have your pick of Pepsi Agenda or Coke Agenda as long as you don't do something like organize protests in Ferguson, at which point you will be murdered in your car and your death reported on page 30 of the newspaper.


There was a federal civil rights investigation into the officer's conduct. There was also an unsuccessful attempt to indict him before a grand jury. The shooting was reported on the front page of the New York Times on Aug. 12 2014. I don't think this example helps you.


You don't seem to understand the context of the post you're responding to, which is not referring to Michael Brown, but to the suspicious deaths of DeAndre Joshua and Darren Seals among others.

You can pretend you are the reasonable one here, but you're not. As someone who has been watching this for a while you look to me like a sea lion. Treating your position with disdain is the more rational of these two position.


That's a fair criticism which I'm surprised the parent didn't point out.

Do you have any evidence of this, or is it an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory which should be afforded no weight?


Your "blah blah blah" comment below really speaks to your level of sophistication, on this and I'm sure other topics too.

You have no place in polite society. Get lost.


Okay fine:

Do I have evidence of a high level criminal conspiracy to which I have access to none of the tools or methods that could possibly obtain evidence, evidence that if it did exist would surely put my own life in danger?

No, no I do not.


Yes and like every good conspiracy theorist knows, the inability to point to evidence is all the more proof of the conspiracy.

Leave. You're a net-negative to this website.


My original post up there has 8 upvotes at this point so no, no I don't think I will.


Upvotes in this local propaganda war have no bearing on veracity or constructive behaviour, it just means the faction you can be slotted into is more wont to press the upvote arrow on the type of message you keep on posting.


Sure


I was shocked (and a little spooked) that this was allowed to remain unflagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46515191


Yeah, the more I look at different articles on here, the more I feel like the flagging is pretty targeted at any ideology at all left of center. Or specifically criticism of the current administration.

All that their "anti-politics" flags really do is to make HN more of a "head-in-the-sand" echo-chamber for right-wing ideologies.


It was completely impossible to post anything about Gaza on here through the entire course of the genocide.

It's not necessarily "right-wing" per se, for example during COVID questioning the party line on masks and vaccines could catch you massive downvotes and flagging. It's this technocratic neoliberal cryptofascist thing the people who have always actually run Silicon Valley adhere to.


> seems more like conspiracy theory

This is a very good demonstration of the epistemic purpose of this term and the uses it is put to.


> The world may by some people's estimation be better without the deceased in it

The world would be better without those people in it.
