I think you guys should start first with having anti hate speech laws and set in stone before demanding Tech giants stuff just that we can finally separate Free Speech and Hate Speech and people stop using as an excuse/scapegoat at social media.

Just want to say I don't disagree with the current move to censor the Trump faction, as I think the terrorist attack is a pretty clear line that has been crossed. You're right that desperate times call for desperate measures.

I also think that Facebook/Zuckerberg is largely to blame for the radicalization of most of the struggling middle-class Trump folks and big tech going out of their way to censor this stuff is about equivalent to the recent Trump cabinet resignations 2 weeks before he's out anyway.

As far as Trump is concerned on his ban from Twitter. Too bad. Being on Twitter and tweeting isn't a right. There are rules on Twitter that he broke, constantly. Luckily for him for the longest time he was afforded more leeway because he was in a position of power, that being the US President. Even if nothing had happened in the last week he was still going to be held to private citizen standards on Twitter after his presidency concluded.

Due to his complete recklessness in terms of how he used Twitter he got the boot. Probably a choice that they wouldn't have taken a year or two ago? Sure. I can believe that if he was to be president again, he would not have been banned. Inciting violence through Twitter as his presidency comes to an end. Well yeah it's easier to accumulate all those fractions from before and on top of that point to the attack on the Capitol Building to say that this is the end for Trump's Twitter account.

If there is some law in the future that says "massive social media companies must allow all governmental officials a platform regardless of how they use it", then fine. For now they have their own private rules. So I'm not sorry for Donald Trump losing access to Twitter, nor do I see this as a slippery slope. It took so so many strikes to get to this point. You struck out.

This was a nice write-up, I thought

https://newrepublic.com/article/160846/die-laughing-capitol

Quote

Any attempt to use some kind of a checklist to determine if all of this should be taken seriously as either a coup or some stable definition of fascism runs the risk of obscuring the incoherence, dynamism, and fundamental danger of these movements. It was “inchoate fascism, fascism in its experimental, speculative phase,” the writer Richard Seymour observed last week. This sense of process—that fascism is a living thing and not some page copied out of a history book—is useful. A lot is happening at once, and not always intentionally.

...

An off-duty police officer from Pennsylvania, who identified himself only as Jeff, told The New York Times that he went to the Capitol last week without a clear sense of what would happen or what he would do when he got there. He intended to be adaptable. “There’s a lot of people here willing to take orders,” he said. “If the orders are given, the people will rise up.”

While I fault leftist stupid way that let the alt right co-opt terms, at this point is kind of difficult to argue that republicans claiming “free speech” is not a dog whistle and not actually care.

Qanon reminds me of that movie Memento.
"You can be my John G"

The protagonist deliberately keeps creating new rabbit holes for himself to chase despite knowing it will only lead to more rabbit holes.
Qanon works the same way, if you're convinced a tweet or timestamps contain hidden codes, then you can read 'anything' in such tweets or posts.

When Trump speaks tomorrow, pay attention.

He will either be real and declare martial law or be a deep fake and not declare martial law.

If he's fake he's dead and someone else has taken over. Possibly Nintex?

Asked by reporters on Tuesday about whether he held any "personal responsibility" over the tragedy that beset the Capitol last week, Trump replied, "If you read my speech, and many people have done it and I've seen it both in the papers and in the media, on television, it's been analyzed and people thought that what I said was totally appropriate."

"Everybody to a 'T' thought it was totally appropriate," Trump said.
