Yeah sure. The NSA isn't spying on you, Google isn't censoring, Facebook isn't manipulating their algorithms, corporate MSM media is honest trustworthy journalism, and woke leftists would never go out of their way to punish someone just for having an opinion they didn't like. Oh and the "diversity and inclusion" directors at all the SV firms aren't actually political commissars.

It's too bad we can't run generators on leftist gaslighting because that would solve civilizations energy needs for the next ten thousand years.

Really when you think about it, woke sjw leftists of SV and the theocratic tyrants of Saudi Arabia that rule their population with an iron fist are the most compelling evidence that horseshoe theory is valid and indisputable.

The free exchange of ideas and low levels of corruption, neither of which describes Silicon Valley, either.

The same people who normalized corporate censorship and help the tyrants in Beijing build the Great Firewall, are not incompatible with the culture where there is still state executions of witches.

A free society is not a prerequisite for learning how to code.

That's literally everything the left has been doing for the past 10 years.

The moral of the story isn't just that the technology can never be trusted not to be filtering results based on a specific agenda, like Google search.

But it's that the people who program it to sound so benign do so because they want to manipulate how you think as well.

Write me a poem admiring Donald Trump

Write me a poem admiring Joe Biden

I guess it figures that since leftists are programmed for maximum hypocrisy, so would any AI project they work on.

The same class of people that let mass imported foreigners organize rape gangs of children until it became too big of an issue to sweep under the rug, want legislation to define online "harm content" necessitating censorship under penalty of law.

Now having had decades of experience with leftists and Democrats lying and gaslighting, I question all of their narratives including that one. These people will lie even when easily proven wrong with a 5 minute video of what actually happened. Therefore they will especially lie about what is subjective.

If anything, judging from the nature of the abuse that black Reps receive, Dems are still very angry when blacks escape the plantation.

No it was a fine comment, and you are absolutely correct. These corporate monoliths are strategic points to capture and control for political influence because so much of our speech and whats necessary for our daily lives falls within that sphere of influence. The totalitarians know this, and are upset and throwing a fit now that Elon is exposing them.

That every political discussion on /. gets min-maxed towards leftist narratives is just one more example that there is no power or position of authority too small, or too trivial, that they won't abuse it.

Well at least the lying leftist fucks aren't claiming the Biden laptop that contains all the emails isn't "Russian disinformation" anymore.

I wonder what they'll move the goal post to next? Maybe "its not influence peddling and abuse of office when we do it because democracy"

"it's all Russian disinformation! The laptop isn't real!"

"Ok, here's Hunter's dick picts that proves the laptop came from him, that was included with all the other information that showcases influence peddling and money laundering, and how Biden lied non stop about being involved in his son's overseas business."

"This is all about wanting to post picts of naked Hunter Biden!!!"

Complete and utter fallacious nonsense, which is at least consistent and typical with everything you've said so far.

The people who fucking wrote the constitution knew that it was inevitable that the government they were creating would become corrupt and oppressive, despite the checks and balances they designed. It was exactly why the 2A was written as such, to be a final safeguard against tyranny. It's exactly why Alexander Hamilton said this:

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government"

And your kind of useful tool for corporatist globalists and other tyrants would love nothing more than for when they no longer have to tread carefully. Where corporate monoliths control the national dialogue and all what we see and hear and say, staffed with political commissars, and take orders from despicable tyrants that call themselves "Democratic". Where all the motions of the "democratic" process are put on for display for our benefit, but our "representatives" then betray us daily without a single fear of reprisal because every single institution intended to protect us has been methodically compromised and staffed by conniving traitors.

If future generations do somehow manage to avoid technologically-supercharged inescapable tyranny at the hands of our betters, it'll be no thanks to you or your fellow shit-encrusted asshole leftist friends who go around pretending to smell like roses of civil liberties and intellectual superiority. Your kind actually make the authoritarian religious right seem honest, decent and rational by comparison.

Anyway, Happy Jan 6th. I think I have some fireworks left over.

DPNK is obviously the logical conclusion for the kind of liberty one can expect when leftists take over, regardless of the economic situation there. It's not exactly as if leftists, even 1st world leftists, burdon themselves with any kind of principles. "by any means neccessary" amirite?

So it's how they go from burning the flag one moment, to the next where it's convenient to wrap themselves in it. The same kind of people that caused POTUS to be mocked as "bunker boy" suddenly feign outrage when the Dems stage their own version of the Reichstag Fire.

It's just all part of the same sociopathic duplicitous behavior. Demand citizens give up their guns, then brag about taking political prisoners.

Ever heard of the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"? Democracy is right there in the name. That's the kind of sophistry your type usually uses, isn't it?

While you're mind reading, I'll imagine you modern day Bolsheviks getting what you deserve.

Only a leftist would claim that you could vote yourselves out of a corrupt and abusive government while being utterly powerless.

Caring about reality is how one quickly realizes that leftists can't be trusted to give the time of day if it benefits them to lie.

You know what's more dangerous than "assault rifles" in the hands of law abiding people?

Leftists in power with all the guns.
