Execution for crimes against humanity? 

Mon Feb 12 2024 20:14:39 EST from nonservator

Killing someone may or may not be appropriate, lawful, etc. Murder is always wrong.

Also quite tired of the whole "diversity of thought" shibboleth. If someone thinks murder is cool, or that murder is cool as long as you're murdering the right people, I have no room in my life for them, and I don't believe a sane and civilized world should have any place for their "diverse thought".

Interesting to see it described that way.  Whenever I've seen "diversity of thought" it was coming from the good guys.  For example, it is used to criticize academia and other institutions when they push "diversity" so hard, diversity of race, ethnicity, sexual preference, etc. etc. but they're happy to discriminate against people who don't have left-leaning thinking.

Precisely why this particular turn of phrase began to grate on me. It now strikes me as useless at best and actively counter-productive at worst, like all the appeals to Muh Constitution, because it's so easily turned around and used as a weapon. "Oh, but you wouldn't want to BETRAY your PRECIOUS PRINCIPLES, would you? You wouldn't want to be a HYPOCRITE!" Well, screw that. Because I have absolutely zero compunction about defanging or eliminating those who hate me when I know perfectly well they're perfectly happy to eliminate me "by any means necessary" whenever they think they can get away with it.

Taking the high road only works in the movies, and when you are a jedi.

In real life, you lose. Your enemy will eat you.

Canada New Bills introduced: 

• Criminalizes speech that supports fossil fuels
• Life time sentences for what they consider hate speech  ( not actions, speech )

I have met several, that really should have been on the US side of the border.

I never met a Canadian who doesn't deserve it.

I doubt it makes it thru and becomes law, but just the fact it is even being attempted is just insane. 

OSNews headline: Wikipedia no longer considers CNET a “generally reliable” source after “AI” scandal

First: LOL^9999999999

Second: "A reliable source is a reliable source."

Third: Mass murderer no longer considers wife beater to be a "source of moral authority".

Fourth: So you have one commenter on OSNews who no longer considers Wikipedia a reliable source, who decries their censorship, who says they're a source of indoctrination and false information. Not because of their long history...but because of one specific incident that he doesn't like.In this case, because WIkipedia blocked him for stating that someone was French and not Catalonian.

"Everything was fine until MY PERSONAL BUGABOO WAS OFFENDED."

I didn't see the new Joker movie, but I believe there is a quote from it that seems appropriate:

"YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!"

I guess part of that 'hate speech is a life sentence' nonsense in Canada, there is a provision to arrest people if the cops suspect they may commit hate speech in the future.  Geeesh

Orwell is spinning in his gave about now..  "i warned you idiots"

Hmm and i think there are rewards for turning people in...

I have been using PIA ( private internet access ) for several years now.  They have windows, Linux, Android, etc clients. According to reports, they have been sued more than once and pissed off people as they didnt have any logs to give even when ordered to. I trust no one 100%, but that is a few points in their favor.

They also offer static IP with incoming options ..  ( i dont use that however, just outgoing )

I have run into a few cases where i was denied access to things due to the VPN, not location i chose for out-port, just that it was a VPN service at all. I assume that can happen to anyone however.

PIA offers both openvpn and wireguard.

AND lets you change ports, and TCP/UDP options  ( only reason i can get it to work at the office.  UDP )

Feds posted some sort of fake video on YouTube.  ~30000 views.  "We demand to know who looked at it"  

New Florida law signed:

• Minors under 14 must have parental consent for social media.
• All PII for minors must be deleted. 

Que the "hes infringing on free speech". Nah, not really. 

1. Children dont really have a full right of free speech ( or other full constitutional rights, see #2 )
2. But more importantly, children's activities are under direction and responsibility of parents
3. They can still access it, if parents agree. its not like they were banned anyway.

Now, enforcement, that is another issue. "ya, im 18" and no real way to prove it otherwise.  ( until we are all implanted at birth with communication/tracking devices )

Link, please?

Our beloved Dear Leader is aproving a package of meassues which is going to cut off lots of chat applications and social media platforms normies use to partake in disidence.

I am obviously geared up for censorship circumvention, but I should find some options for my family. I guess the obvious option is renting an VPS, setting some cheap VPN on it, and then routing all their home traffic through it via their home router.

I could also get some dedicated VPN plan. Is there any you find trustworthy enough and you'd like to recommend?
