GOP to Silicon Valley: Promote the Far Right or Else
- Thread starter UnpopularBlargh
- Start date
You mean conservatives are hypocrites only interested in progressing an agenda of supremacy and consolidation of wealth?
No fucking shit.
That is correct.
I cannot understand the irrational hated they have towrads things they don't understand and don't affect them in the sligtest.
By far one of the most frustrating and demoralizing aspects of our (American) society is that the people who control every branch of government and lever of power, who have a culture that caters to their desires and politicians that protect and promote their religion, will loudly insist that YOU are opressing THEM at any chance they get. Straight White Christians will take every element of society for themselves they can and not even allow you to feel solidarity with others over being a victim. They get to be the conquerors and the victims.
Facebook could make people register Republican to post and it will still be called left wing media created by elitist Hollywood liberals. The only thing left of the conservative identity at this point is that they are persecuted victims of the left and nothing will make them give that up. That's why it's so unfortunate to see websites like Reddit debase themselves to right white lunatics who are never going to be happy with what accomodations you make for them.

This isn't surprising, conservatives are entirely based on the orthodoxy of maintaining control and certainty.That means that initially they will resist changes to the status quo, but again that's only because changes to the stays quo are the main way it comes up. Conservatism is about power, not tradition. Tradition is just the most obvious vector to ensure power and certainty.

Not sure what the GOP is concerned about, since Silicon Valley is teeming with supporters who're more than willing to aid and abet the spread of alt-right agitprop. Don't think they'll need legislation to facilitate their desired progress on that front. This just illustrates how out of touch most of these lawmakers are about technology.
Literally all I see on most of my social media is insane "right-leaning" news/memes/images/comments. I'd appreciate it if they increased the less racist/bigoted/hate side of these "algorithms".
I guess they missed the recent news about how facebook protects borderline illegal right-wing content.
Not to mention, some of the stuff on social media is already illegal by some European countries' laws, I wonder how they intent to handle basically promoting illegal content

The internet is also good for distributing Trump and Russian propaganda. If it wasn't for Twitter and Facebook, Trump might have lost.
The alt right was born on the internet.
I serioiusly doubt this is going much of anywhere atm given the shoddy state of House leadership, but that requires winning in November to kill it for good.

I laugh so bitterly when I hear chucklefucks like KKKing use "conservative" to justify deciding winners and losers. It's like, come out of the closet poltically already. You're a statist bigot.
I'm worried this is trying to muddy the waters on slapping social media conglomerates around for 2016 cuz you know, IT HELPED THEM.

Silicon Valley to GOP: Get fucked. Seriously though, I am not sure the GOP is going to win this one. The whole venture capital, Silicon Valley lifestyle seems to be a world removed from conservatism.
This is amazing projection. An insane person wondering why everyone else doesn't see it his way and it not even crossing his mind that he is the irrational one. Or maybe we simply aren't wired for unreflective evil like Steve King.
it really is astonishing that social media companies can somehow make themselves hated by literally everybody on the political spectrum
For real.

"When I talk to leftists, they really just, some of them just do not have, even though they've got a lot of cognitive ability, they're wired so differently that they can't rationally put themselves in the mind-set of a conservative," King lectured just off the House floor. "So, therefore, their reasoning ability just doesn't have the circuits to make an objective judgement."
Wh..at...?
Wh..at...?
This also happens to me and it's very annoying, I mean, how the hell does that algorithm work?
They hate regulations that don't directly benefit them. They love regulations that help them. The entire party is made of hypocrite scum.
Everything they do involves boosting their side while suppressing the left.
It's a war of ideology but liberals spend at least 50% of their time eating their own.
