I don’t understand PragerU… they put out all of this fascist propaganda, but they still have this video up on their YouTube channel that spells out in no uncertain terms that the cause of the civil war was slavery and the south’s want to defend a “morally repugnant institution”:

Is this just the one thing they keep out there to point at and say that they’re “fair and balanced”?
What announcement? Your Nitter link doesn’t work
As someone currently watching Mister Roger’s Neighborhood with my 2yo and having just completed TNG and started DS9 with my 9yo, this is fantastic.
I’d say it’s more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.
Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to “set us free”.
But all the Musk bros told me he’s a “free speech absolutist”
Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.
Right? That’s like giving your age in days. “Oh, I’m a little more than 15,000 days old.”
Don’t know about ‘battle royal’, but are you talking about Battlebit?

Or in the battle royale genre, there’s TAB:

No, allowing fascists to continue being fascists is what got us here. I had sympathy and understanding for those people in the past, and now we have Nazis. I’m done with sympathy/understanding/tolerance of those who have none.
You make the mistake of thinking that their resolve isn’t already absolute. I think it’s a luxury of ignorance of people who don’t live in deep red states and don’t know just how deep-seeded their fear and hatred of others is.
And no, I will no longer strive for “understanding” of fascists who hate and harm others. I understand them perfectly well, and their views disgust me. Those who do continue to “strive for understanding” are only enabling them, and are the people who have allowed the situation to get as bad as it has in the U.S.
But go ahead, keep tolerating the intolerant.
Isn’t that just the progressive left? As far as I know we don’t worship figureheads like the fascist right with their orange demigod.
Honestly come to think of it, I do blame you and people with your attitude for the rise of fascism in the U.S. “”“Centrists”“” kept tolerating them for decades, and they kept feeling more and more emboldened.
Do you believe yours is? Quite the job you’re doing.
You’re advocating for tolerating the intolerant. All you’re doing is being the Kaiser Wilhelm-looking character in this comic about the Paradox of Tolerance:

Karl Popper described this as a paradox, but it’s not even that.
Tolerance is a social contract that we all agree to participate in. By not tolerating others, conversatives/fascists have broken the contract, and are then no longer bound by or protected by it. Therefore it is not wrong or paradoxical to not tolerate the intolerant.
You’re right, I do give up on “conservatives” and fascists. I don’t hold it against you for trying, but I believe that the only way to win with fascists is to not play their game, and to simply oppose them wherever and whenever they crop up. No, ultimately I don’t believe that you or anyone else who claims to have swayed a few opinions have ultimately made any difference in people with no regard for others, so I will continue to have no regard for them.
“Good faith” = corporations screwing you
“Bad faith” = you screwing corporations
There, I’ve simplified it.
