    Googledouches and their apologists are pretty open about their opposition to freedom of speech, in practice and principle alike.

    A high nomenclaturist who got her job through nepotism rather than any trace of personal merit? No! It just can't be! That would never happen, especially not in Northern California!

    Yes. You have correctly perceived that censorship is a grave social evil, even when the censored content is unsavory and inane.

    I'm pretty sure it's cold as fuck in Moscow. Can you confirm that for me? K thx.

    Here in Vietnam it's a fairly cool night, about 76F. There's a little breeze so the air pollution has lightened up. Altogether a lovely evening.

    Hope you're enjoying the snow!

    Slightly worse. It's self-selection. By doing a search on DuckDuckGo you have flagged your search activity as "interesting". Perhaps you'll get a little more compute resources devoted to analyzing your activity. A shorter escalation path to attention from a human analyst.

    The courts are fond of discovering new and innovative rights. Perhaps they could discover a constitutional right to run one's own home server.

    I mean, if a bunch of unelected dunderheads in robes are going to be the ultimate legislative authority in the land, it would be pretty awesome if they at least invented *good* laws.

    Nice link - the "Alliance for Securing Democracy". Now that's a creepy 1984-style name! Seems that site is operated by the German Marshall Fund, a Cold War institutional relic dedicated to NATO hegemony in Eastern Europe.

    No reason for obsolete cold warriors like that to build up a Russian boogey man. It's not like they have no purpose in a peaceful Europe, and a new conflict with Russia would rescue them from the dust bin of history. No sir, no siree. This is definitely not lawful domestic propaganda. They have no motivation to lie - I trust their every word.

    Yes. When fundamentalist nutjobs at Westboro Baptist Church are free to spout off their inane rantings, that's good for democracy. Just like when fake-progressive fundamentalist nutjobs are free to spout off their inane rantings, that's also good for democracy.

    Yes, if someone leaks Trump's tax returns, that too will be good for democracy.

    See a theme here? Freedom of speech is essential if there is to be any chance of democracy working well. Even when I don't like the contents of the speech.

    You're thinking of Cambodia with the killing of eyeglass wearers, not China.

    Reagan did his damnedest to destroy organized labor. And thereby eliminate the voice of working people in public policy discussions. Clinton oversaw economic policies under which large parts of our manufacturing infrastructure were literally packed into boxes and shipped to China.

    You really believe that shit, broham? We don't have two parties in America. We have one party, the Financialist Party, with two faces.

    It's okay if you don't see it yet. Some people still believe the myth of two parties. Some people continue to imagine good public policy will follow from voting for evil.

    Well bro, keep on voting for stooges of the big banks. The impoverishment of our country will continue apace. But hey, you're doing what the propaganda organs say is virtuous. And that's what matters to you!
