Trump's opponent ran a terrible campaign, showed open contempt for voters, and is not at all likeable or charismatic. She could have lost to anyone at any time. Stop being surprised when bad candidates lose.
If the US government puts Facebook out of business, that will be bad for Facebook employees and investors. How many US congressional districts do Facebook employees live in? What percentage of Facebook employees are citizens eligible to vote in the US?
- Presumption of guilt. - The fact that it still goes on a year later after finding zero evidence of the collusion it was formed to investigate. - Investigative team full of motivated partisans - Unprofessional FBI leaders and agents, including one who was fired for lying about press leaks. - The phony "conspiracy against the United States" charges against people who are impossible to actually prosecute — so you never need to actually prove the charges. No charges against anyone on laws relating to foreign interference in elections.
But most of all, it's the very idea of telling a story and opening a criminal investigation to overturn a democratic election. Votes were cast and counted. They were legitimate votes. Votes count the same whether voters are influenced by CNN propaganda, or NBC propaganda, or silly Fox News hype, or Russian propaganda, of campaign nonsense. There are no do-overs and you don't get to have a backup plan to seize power despite the election outcome.
This reads just like Joe McCarthy's defenders wrote it. The reason McCarthyism is bad isn't because Communist spies didn't exist.
The existence of evil doesn't justify witch hunts. Witch hunts are bad, in part, because they aren't factual and they start with the assumption of guilt.
It's red scare time. Witch hunts always find someone in league with Russia these days. We need shadowy villains and conspiracy stories. Reality doesn't have the same appeal.
How do you know these are bugs and not the people at Microsoft censoring you like Twitter and Facebook and Google censor? Are you sure every detail of all your communications is perfectly and unmistakably in accordance with the cultural orthodoxy?
Quite so. Note that there is absolutely nothing stopping YOU from doing a YouTube competitor. Come up with a business plan, buy (or rent) hardware, hire programmers, go to town....
Will you loan me $3 Billion to fund it until it is cash flow positive?
You don't need a license to publish a newsletter. Because one of the first 2 Amendments in the Bill of Rights protects the freedom of speech and of the press. The other one protects firearms possession.
When youtube demonetizes content without warning, what they are doing is akin to a layoff.
It's actually worse than this because there are no other viable platforms. It's like firing people when you're the only business of that type, so those people can never work again in that business.
We don't bully innocent Muslims because of terrorism. Gun owners are just as innocent of murder as Muslims are innocent of terrorism. Why do you want to scapegoat and bully the innocent?
True irony is crying about a culture of victims in a thread where gun owners are screaming about how victimized they are when the actual topic is people actively getting shot.
Let's arrest the killers and leave innocent gun owners alone.
No. Even if ordered to, the US military mostly wouldn't attack US towns to enforce gun prohibition.
And gun owners wouldn't fight pitched battles. They would hide, go about their business as normal, and look for opportunities to strike oppressors.
You can't passify a population with heavy weapons. A year or 3 later, the guys in the tanks are tired and the population still remembers where they hid their guns and who their enemy is.
Making fun of her just feeds into the sense of righteousness. If she's genuinely not happy, it should be obvious. Try being kind and asking her how her obsession is working out. It's not helping her, and it's not helping animals. It's just making her unhappy for no benefit at all. So why keep it up? Really, why?
No, really. That web site could really help you improve your life. You don’t seem to be very happy with the way it's going. Let them try to help you out.
Animal rights activists don't seem to lead happy, well-adjusted lives, do they? Most other "activists" seem to have similar life issues, but not quite as bad as the animal rights crowd.

Question Facebook should be asking itself:
If the US government puts Facebook out of business, that will be bad for Facebook employees and investors. How many US congressional districts do Facebook employees live in? What percentage of Facebook employees are citizens eligible to vote in the US?
List:
- Presumption of guilt.
- The fact that it still goes on a year later after finding zero evidence of the collusion it was formed to investigate.
- Investigative team full of motivated partisans
- Unprofessional FBI leaders and agents, including one who was fired for lying about press leaks.
- The phony "conspiracy against the United States" charges against people who are impossible to actually prosecute — so you never need to actually prove the charges. No charges against anyone on laws relating to foreign interference in elections.

Science is irrelevant. Environmentalism is a religion. They want to "save the Earth", not accomplish anything specific or achievable.
It's for the environment. You should be happy to sacrifice your health to save the Earth.
For that matter, why aren't you collecting your poop and taking it home and composting it?
Shame!
The point is about getting paid for making content people watch. It's not about doing it for free.
No one is entitled to a specific job either, but some people understandably freak out when they get fired.
Do those platforms provide a way for content creators to monetize their content?
Quite so. Note that there is absolutely nothing stopping YOU from doing a YouTube competitor. Come up with a business plan, buy (or rent) hardware, hire programmers, go to town....

Meaningful? So operas then? Motivational videos to show your household servants?

The world needs 2 or 3 viable YouTube competitors, so when YouTube abuses their position, content creators have recourse.
Governments should find a way to offer Microsoft and Amazon incentives to expand Mixer and Twitch to become true YouTube competitors.

Korans aren't useful weapons for committing mass murder. Guns, on the other hand, are pretty effective.
Both are constitutionally protected. If your point is you prefer one over the other, that's cool. Lots of people prefer lots of things.
No. Even if ordered to, the US military mostly wouldn't attack US towns to enforce gun prohibition.

Stop. Get some help, before you end up like that woman did.
