Imagine eating so much paste that you think just flying the American flag is some kind of an extreme right-wing statement.

It is online, which internet is reality now instead of an escape from reality, as it is tied directly into so many lives. I have noticed some don't ask where people are from before arguing the politics.. lol, we have all had the stray boomerang-fucker make his comments on some issue before.. what I am saying is things are taken and argued as if those people live here but they don't.

Very big laughs for some. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But they are though... It doesnt matter how we feel about it. I could hate it too, doesnt make a difference. I dont even use twitter at all. I think its a sewer of bullshit. Twitter is not sovereign, its not governing itself. Shes even allowed to make the statements. You cant get banned for not posting it.. You had to have posted it, first. Their ball, their game.

Problem is they need twitter and FB but they cry all day about how they are gonna stand up to silicon valley soy boys!

Exactly, they need twitter and facebook because twitter and facebook exert an enormous amount of influence over elections now. That's the whole crux of the argument. I understand that she broke some rules, that's entirely beside the point.

Emergent technology requires emergent legislation to manage. Before planes were a thing, there was no FAA or any laws to govern their relationship with society. Their emergence required such things. Social media usurping the role of town square is no different. The same people who are very concerned about obscure faceless russian hackers compromising election integrity are seemingly wholly unconcerned with the issue of partisan big tech censorship, which has a vastly stronger influence on election outcomes.

The country's fricking flag, probably the most universally celebrated symbol around, represents fringe right bullshit on the internet?

Someone post a picture of the American flag on Reddit and title it, "The most universally celebrated symbol around" and see what happens. You gonna get shit on for being a paste eater Horza.

The internet had a culture.

Unfortunately, the "it is inevitable" ass-fuck-faces started competing with the Big Companies to be 'disruption' to business. Much like raid rules, now we need more because the mouse has outgrown the traps.

Well, that certainly sucks. Meanwhile Steve Jobs widow courts D.C Mayors on her dead husbands mega yacht.. also while running The Atlantic that plays Washington politics.

Didn't radio and TV already do this? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Could this line of thinking also be applied to firearms?

Democrats also use dumb flag emojis, shocking as that may be to those of you living in flyover states.
