A lot of really awful people are on Gab, but I don't get some of the arguments put forth on why it should be shut down.rayshul wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 10:35 pmI'm livid over what is happening to Gab.

This guy is fucking about on all other social media but only Gab is targetted and shut down. This is fucking INSANITY. Honestly this is the biggest overreach I've seen from the left and THEY WILL GET AWAY WITH IT.
I'm sure some of you know I've basically spent a year building up a following on Gab and being really cool on there AND THIS IS FUCKING MADNESS.
Thanks, Boss! I'm massively relieved to see the Pit get a reprieve :dance: :dance: :clap:

If only for the fact that twitter not only keeps the account of that foul paedo Ian Watkins open, but hasn't even revoked the cunt's blue tick. :shock:CommanderTuvok wrote: ↑A lot of really awful people are on Gab, but I don't get some of the arguments put forth on why it should be shut down.rayshul wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 10:35 pmI'm livid over what is happening to Gab.

One argument I've heard a lot, is that this Robert Bowers was on Gab.....well, he was on Facebook as well, so I believe. Lots of terrorists, bombers, and serial killers have had/got accounts on various social media incuding Twitter.
So, Twitter should be shut down, then..... :shifty:
Well, well, well - long time no see. :-) Seem to recollect having seen you traipsing through WEIT some time back, and wondered how you were doing.
But of course, many #TransLoonies - Zinnia Jones in particular - insist that they too are female, all without ever actually defining "female" in the first place - I'd suggested "concave mating surfaces" but no takers. Elaborations on that theme can be found at my Medium article: The Imperative of CategoriesPluckrose wrote:.... We would probably decline anyway because while the beginning is interesting - an overview of the different ways of defining sex and gender - the thesis is essentially the usual one: that "male" and "female" are defined by reproductive systems so I'm not sure it offers anything original or speaks to the issue at the heart of the debate. Trans activists don't deny that egg-producing and sperm-producing bodies exist and divide the sexes. This is essential to the definition of "trans" or "cis."....

I'm looking to be either entertained or informed by someone that knows more about the topic at hand than I do. Both would involve introducing something new to the mix. Person shouts (or comments) at Internet does not really cut it - especially in long form.

“The horror”Although the exact origins of the term are uncertain,[4] it was perhaps so-called because it was first noted in regions inhabited by Native Americans ("Indians"), or because the Native Americans first described it to Europeans,[5] or it had been based on the warm and hazy conditions in autumn when Native Americans hunted.[4]

As in much of life, reality fails to meet with expectation. So I find myself very much not in the position of Tony Hancock in the first 10 minutes of 'The Rebel (1961)' reading the newspaper on the way to work. I don't travel to work by train, and don't even own a bowler hat or a black umbrella. What can I say, standards have slipped, or declined, or degenerated (whatever the preferred term is).
The middle ground sounds a bit fen-ish - and I'm no Hereward the Wake.
All very cosy, polite (albeit the commies) and middle class, I'd like to see them come to some of the inner cities in England and do the same, I think they'd get a very different reaction.InfraRedBucket wrote: ↑ Ex Muslims talk to Muslims.

At a deep level Peez doesn't trust human beings. Even though this guy also shot at the responding officers and was obviously a time bomb ready to explode, Peez thinks anyone around him, his environment, was somehow complicit in his acts. This is essentially the mindset of the authoritarian left: There are mad/insane/unhinged people out there. We must orient society and our social policy to account for them, to somehow "minimize" the possibility they might "go off". Anyone found "potentially" complicit, post hoc, is partly to blame for their acts.

Those SJW types would now include the likes of PZ Myers. Kind of puts that conference in Ireland in perspective, when PZ argued against some Islamoloons on the streets of Dublin. I suspect he wouldn't do that now - the optics would look "Islamophobic".free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑The Islamic Society of North America that hosted this conference has Canadian branch that was recently sanctioned for funneling charity to terrorist groups.InfraRedBucket wrote: ↑ Ex Muslims talk to Muslims.

Gab has spent the past 48 hours proudly working with the DOJ and FBI to bring justice to an alleged terrorist. Because of the data we provided, they now have plenty of evidence for their case. In the midst of this Gab has been no-platformed by essential internet infrastructure providers at every level. We are the most censored, smeared, and no-platformed startup in history, which means we are a threat to the media and to the Silicon Valley Oligarchy.
Gab isn’t going anywhere.
It doesn’t matter what you write. It doesn’t matter what the sophist talking heads say on TV. It doesn’t matter what verified nobodies say on Twitter. We have plenty of options, resources, and support. We will exercise every possible avenue to keep Gab online and defend free speech and individual liberty for all people.
You have all just made Gab a nationally recognized brand as the home of free speech online at a time when Silicon Valley is stifling political speech they disagree with to interfere in a US election.
The internet is not reality. TV is not reality. 80% of normal everyday people agree with Gab and support free expression and liberty. The online outrage mob and mainstream media spin machine are the minority opinion. People are waking up, so please keep pointing the finger at a social network instead of pointing the finger at the alleged shooter who holds sole responsibility for his actions.
No-platform us all you want. Ban us all you want. Smear us all you want.
You can’t stop an idea.
As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely.

The British army’s learning curve didnt deliver sophisticated offensive capacity until late 1917. 1915 was an impossible disaster despite all efforts to find solutions. The Somme was a reasonable attempt to leverage the New Army Divisions in light of the lessons learnt at Loos and earlier.. In practice the lack of artillery capacity and coordination plus the limited availability and familiarity with Stokes Mortars, Lewis guns et al made for sad times. Messines was textbook. But the 1917 Flanders campaign was allowed to go on too long.Keating wrote: ↑ This has really pissed me off:

The primary benefit of free speech is surely the protection of all from voicelessness in the face of tyranny. The "market place" of ideas is surely a secondary benefit.Hunt wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:55 amIn a way it's analogous to free market vs. controlled market, or the market will correct itself vs. market manipulation.
In analogy, free speech is that the free exchange of ideas and information will correct itself, while PZ is in favor of a controlled, regulated exchange of ideas.
I'd be a hypocrite to say I'm 100% pro-free market, so perhaps I'd be a hypocrite to say I'm a free speech absolutist. Does the market of ideas correct itself?
I agree, and of course that makes PZ's version of anti-freeze peach even more wrong. I mention PZ not because he's some titan civil rights thinking, but because his arguments are typical: That is, free speech is dangerous. It leads to incitment of violence. Therefore it must be regulated. It's only a slightly modified version of the argument to regulate media: free media leads to violence/perversion/degeneracy.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑The primary benefit of free speech is surely the protection of all from voicelessness in the face of tyranny.

The question(s) is/are whether this is correct, and whether it's compelling enough to be actionable. Does speech actually cause violence, or will violent people seek whatever means they need to reinforce their tendency?PZ sez wrote:Social media enables violent far-right ideologues to build self-reinforcing communities that encourage even more violence, even more extremism, in an ever-escalating cycle of mutual goading and behavioral modeling that leads to outbreaks of real-world viciousness. When your online friendships are built on a foundation of anti-semitism, individuals vie to be the most outrageously anti-semitic member of the community they can be, and when someone, like the Pittsburgh mass murderer, breaks through to peak anti-semite and actually guns down innocent Jews, he has achieved a kind of apotheosis — he knows his friends will be praising him, will be impressed by him, will consider him a role model, and even though he might be in prison for life, he can feel content that he has won the respect of his peer group. Someone like me might feel horror and disgust and contempt for him, but he doesn’t care, since I’m not one of his friends, and he despises me and my kind. My revulsion is actually a reward, as far as he is concerned. Like Anders Breivik, social condemnation by others fuels his righteousness.
