Comment Re:"Erm... sinners to repentance?" (Score 1) 63

The ACLU went to court to defend the freedom of speech right of nazis to march through Jewish neighborhoods. Personally, I would have classified that as threatening speech, but I'm no the ACLU. (They fought for the right of the Klan to march through black neighborhoods too.)

The Big Lie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie) worked in the 3rd Reich (and many other places and continues to work) not because the Nazis were a lot better at using it. The Big Lie works because, generally, people are dumb and without insight. Present the average person with anything where disagreeing might incur a cost, and they will readily agree, regardless of what they agree to and regardless of how evil that makes their action.

In the ruling on Wednesday, the court acknowledged that Anthropic "will likely suffer some degree of irreparable harm absent a stay," but that the company's interests "seem primarily financial in nature."

Yeah, the company's interests are financial. That's what companies are for.

Actually, no. That just seems to be the primary motivation to create companies in the US. It is not the only reason and, for people that are not total greedy scum, it may not even be a goal besides financial viability. Profits a entirely optional and there strong evidence that running a company with a primary motivation of generating profits is detrimental for its survival. And society, incidentally. You have fallen for some thinly veiled religious fundamentalist propaganda.

Dude, Poe's Law! I can totally imagine Pete Hegseth saying exactly what you said! Your freedom of speech doesn't not give you the right to advocate violence towards the people you hate, as the Trump administration is currently doing. "Hey kids, let's remove any protections against bullying trans kids!"
