Now there is an argument I didn't expect.

I am trying to work out why railing against corporations makes one smack of an entitlement attitude.

We can deal with the rest of your post after i have got a brew.
I hope you brewed it yourself, and grew the hops and yeast, got water from a stream with a bucket you crafted yourself with wood you cut down, built your own fire, and drink it from a glass you blew yourself with sand you found somewhere.

Either that or maybe the state gave you all that shit.
 
A horn-wearing Donald Trump supporter whose photo during the US Capitol riots went viral has been arrested and charged.

Jacob Anthony Chansley, who calls himself Jake Angeli, is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

The self-styled QAnon "shaman" from Arizona was taken into custody today.
 
Depends how good your carer is with the search function I suppose.

(edit. Funny as fuck that your next post argues that someone is conflating two arguments when you’ve just posted that to me and are moving the goal posts like Michael J Fox setting up a game of Subbuteo)
Oh! go to bed , i just wondered that was all. Have a nice sleeps and we can play tomorrow. :)

Shame. He seemed such a nice guy too.

But remember this is all false flag, he was a deep deep antifa sleeper... like all the other 100’s/1000’s that invaded... and then posted themselves on social media doing it, to add to the reams of previous posts they’ve done supporting Trump etc... these 100’s have been posting this rhetoric for over 4 years, it’s such a deep deep antifa false flag attack, theyve been plannng for 4 years...

So not treason, sedition or an attempted coup then?
 
I am no lover of Trump, he is fucking nuts, but i am not comfortable with a democratically elected President being censored by a big tech corporation. I know it is there platform blah blah, but still it makes me uneasy that a Corporation can have so much power in a democracy.
Can see your point . Giving you a hypothetical scenario, Twitter or social media existed when Hitler and his cohorts were around, would allowing them access be acceptable?
 
The banning itself in isolation isn’t worrying.

What is worrying is the blatant conspiring by these huge and influential social media organisations like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Google and Apple joining the party by issuing pre-emptive strikes on Parler yesterday, the platform where Trump would have ended up. Added to the fact that CNN are actively trying to get any right wing channel taken off the air in America.

I know who I’m preaching to on here, but this is actual authoritarianism. And it’s not being handed down by elected officials who are accountable, but by Silicon Valley.
Oh look.
Trump’s biggest fan has turned up and surprise surprise, he’s complaining about his hero being banned from Twitter.

The entitlement bit is specifically an opinion formed from a friend who rammed it down my throat about how unfair life was etc etc so I probably have a jaundiced view from that, I thought about putting a caveat but was rushing around cooking dinner so feel free to ignore that bit.
Just settling down to watch a film so off line for a bit. Look forward to setting the world to rights at some point though. :-)
 

I’m just going to play Devil’s advocate here. The BLM protests were also criminal in many places, in many cities, far more widespread and less concentrated in one space, also lasting much longer.

It’s not a surprise more were arrested and the FBI are now identifying every twunt in the Capitol over the last week and arresting them (or trying to).

Of course those this week trying to stage a fucking coup are the worst of the lot, that have been out causing issues this year, but the BLM protestors that also killed innocent people, aren’t angels either.
