Wow, they’re tweeting about the #arabspring! Online platforms are going to be instrumental in providing free speech everywhere in the world!

That does sound more than a little sus.

Do you live in an evil authoritarian state where your freeze peach is being suppressed? Our friendly American social media service is here for you!

The fact that all this social media manipulation isn’t front and center in public consciousness really tells you about the state of ““Free Speech”” in the West.

The anarchist inside me surgically attached to my circulatory system as an disembodied head inside my adomen because he crossed me is really looking forward to the fediverse ruining the security state’s hold on the brainwashing infrastructure. At least I think, it’s hard to understand his muffled voice.

The number of Americans who saw a YouTube video and wanted Obama to start another war was disturbing. I’m glad the creator decided to do drugs and jerk off in front of a bus while running naked through the streets, destroying his credibility.

I don’t know why people thought online organizing would be safe. The right does it, and then when they finally wild out we inevitably find out the FBI had a file on them. The reason the state didn’t act before the stochastic terror is because they don’t care or want to do anything about it. They’d never extend the courtesy of that indifference to the left.

Well, clearly it’s because they weren’t doing anything wrong and had nothing to fear from law enforcement, ever.

I hate the KKK as much as anyone else but they applied for and obtained their rally permits.

Edit: have I ever told you I love your username? It brings me joy every time I see it

I didn’t speak English back then, and a few years ago I decided to look at posts from the Arab spring and damn liberals were treating our lives like a game
