    If society can justify punching out people who are nazis

    you mean. Clumsily equating nazis with people who fight nazis isn't very wise or honest...

    It's a representative democracy, like most in the world.

  4. Re:Always the left pushing "hate speech" laws. on Germany Starts Enforcing Hate Speech Law (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    In Germany's case, it's the centre-right (as Merkel's party is) telling people that hate is dangerous (demonstrable fact), that spreading it hurts society (demonstrable fact), and that companies who wish to make money from peoples' speech need to be able to discern dangerous speech from not.

    You kind of missed the entire discussion in your summary.

    If she was doing it because she was part of some octogenarian group which stands for killing others, yes, the group should get criticised. Or do you think his political stance had nothing to do with the attack and was purely accidental?

  6. Re:Meh on Germany Starts Enforcing Hate Speech Law (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Most acts of terrorism in Germany are perpetrated by the right wing, usually in the form of firebomb attacks on refugee homes. As for Antifa, they fight fascists. Fascists want to fight everyone else. If you can't see the difference, I don't think I can help you.

    You can't prove all systems devolve into Venezuela by only citing Venzuela. Logic doesn't work that way.

    You frequently ask questions which have been answered. You might want to argue from fact and not ignorance - it will yield real arguments and not result in you proudly stating your ignorance for all to see :)

    I like how you ignored the parts of your argument blown out of the water, and then tried to use what's left to appear to have a point. That is really classy, and definitely shows a good argument.

  13. Re:$5 says it never actually comes back on The White House Is Temporarily Shutting Down Its Petition Website (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It provided a very easy method of seeing what was important to the users of the site, and to allow people to share and discuss these issues. Even if nothing ever happened because of the petitions, the record of the petitions and the level of support for each is useful information, surely. I don't know how anyone would be against such information if they think the government should be at all aware of how the people it is supposed to represent think.

  14. You should check the official rankings as opposed to what you read from randoms on the internet...

  15. Hint: basing assumptions of a complicated system on a few acquaintances isn't going to yield useful results. The statistics are known, and you're incorrect. Outcomes in Canada are comparable to the US, and it costs far less.

  16. Healthcare scales. The US already spends more tax money per capita on healthcare than countries with universal systems. Your argument needs a lot of work.

  17. The US already spends more tax money per capita on healthcare than most developed countries with universal healthcare/single payer systems. The money is already there - it's being squandered on insurance middlemen and businesses operating where no business has any reason to do so. You are perpetuating a falsehood which only serves to condemn successive generations to developing-country-level healthcare. I know you think you're helping, but you're doing exactly the opposite.

    I don't see how ISPs being able to prioritise traffic from some services over others is going to help new entrants to the market. If you want more local control, running infrastructure as a public service is precisely what you want, not to repeal net neutrality.

    It can't be argued against because it's nonsensical. There is literally no benefit to people, just to large companies people seem to already dislike massively.

    So you're blaming systemd for something you admit might not even be systemd's fault, and to such an extent you are saying it's worthless. That's not very logical... I'm not saying you're wrong, you just haven't demonstrated (even to yourself) what you're saying is true.
