That’s pretty darn weak.

I’m still not seeing a specific accusation.

If you wish to accuse me of any of that then you will need to be specific.

Otherwise, well, who’s the fascist now?

That’s a semantic argument about the salute. It makes no reference to nazis. You have nothing.

But nobody apologized for nazis.

You are like one of those little bugs that make noise at night. But instead of a melodious cheeping you just go “nazi nazi”.

It’s also the Roman salute, which predates nazis and fascists.

And you gotta admit, it’s a powerful gesture.

Also, he runs a company that makes spaceships. Which is pretty awsome.

Think about that while you work your shitty 9-to-5

Because drugs are bad mmmkay?

And drugs are defined by tv shows. Drugs are pills.

Also, talk about drugs anywhere and you’ll encounter 40-somethings with an unreasonable hatred of drugs. They get crazy. That’s the “just say no” propaganda talking. It was pushed in the schools in the 80s, and we still hear the echoes.

It’s a testament to the power of media and propaganda.

Yes of course.

But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?

What is a method in THAT?

Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

Repeating “they are bad and dumb” ad nauseum is no way to inspire sane conversation. It’s just echo chamber circle jerk.

The foundation of the common subculture is knowing who it’s ok to hate.

You just belong to the wrong subculture. Otherwise it would make sense.

Ever tried to play a difficult video game while also baking a batch of cookies and discussing Christmas plans with your parents?

You see how it works.

That’s an excellent one :)

Surely drug use is as old as eating. From the first time that you eat a strange berry or funky apple.

Sure. I’ll put it up top

Well it depends on the definition of censor.

If you define censor as, “to suppress or delete as objectionable” (Webster) then it fits just fine.

Speaking as a freeform blob. Roundness? Yes, I have some ot that. Sharp pointy bits? Yep. Little tangles? Ya, a few of those too.
