Naomi replies on Jan 22, 2021:

Stealing! Lol! Seriously, don't you find all this hyper-polarisation exhausting? Or maybe, this is all only on social media, i.e., in the virtual world. In the real world, you are not all that divided after all. Some conservative members here say it's time to move on, like it or not, life goes on. Others just can't accept that approach, simply because that means giving in to the left. They're very angry. It sounds all so exhausting and I don't know how you cope with it day in day out. But then, again, it's probably all just in the virtual world and real people can get on with each other in the real world, you tell me. Here in the UK, MSM are reporting less and less about Biden and Trump is non-existent. They've certainly moved on quickly as they do.

Facebook Has RESTRICTED My Page Effectively Shutting it Down, The Purge Is Real And Will Get WORSE -...

Naomi comments on Jan 17, 2021:

Facebook is a publisher, not a platform, though. As a publisher, a social media site is responsible for its contents. That is, it can make editorial decisions including deciding whether or not to suspend/remove a user account.

Naomi replies on Jan 21, 2021:

@WorldSigh I think the main point is that FB revealed that it was a publisher in court and that is going to be remembered by social media lawyers. This fact will be used as a weapon for or against FB in the future. FB, as a publisher, can also be sued for defamation. I believe that most YouTubers have to serve their subscribers and patoreons, so they are likely to say what their subscribers and patoreons want to hear. They are in their own bubbles. Call me cynical. Lol

@2peros Brexit divided the nation but it didn't break unity. Many folks here and on other social media mention civil war. I made a post about it a few months ago. Many seem to think it is only a matter of time before America faces another civil war. Not sure if they really mean it, though; maybe they love fantasy.

Hello Edgework, Interesting. Thanks. :) The article I posted is about big companies suspending political donations. In the case of Hallmark, which is also a major company: *Powell said that while greeting cards may sound “trivial,” Hallmark is a major corporation and the people there care about the details of legislation that get passed. With political action committees, she noted that it’s not the company itself donating the money, but its employees and owners.* *According to OpenSecrets, Hallmark Cards’ PAC donated $95,500 to federal candidates in 2019–2020 — with 35% of that money going to Democrats and 65% going to Republicans.* It sounds like these companies lost their trust in Republican politicians.

Are You Right Wing or Left Wing?

Hanno comments on Jan 11, 2021:

I think you need a strong left wing intellectual to write the sections on the left. The sections on the right looks Ok, however the sections on the left looks a bit like a right winger wrote them.

Naomi replies on Jan 18, 2021:

@BobHiggins It's competition time, is it? Lol The right shuts down free speech, too. https://fee.org/articles/the-assault-on-campus-free-speech-doesnt-just-come-from-liberals/ Protests against liberal speakers have drawn less media attention. You have to understand that attack on free speech comes from both sides. And the right trying to shut down the left happens right here on this site all the time. Intentionally or not, this site mostly attracts right-wingers and there is only a handful of left-wingers and centrists. I observe that almost every time left-wingers post something, even decent articles or something just for fun/banter, many right-wingers try to shoot them down with contemptuous remarks. Here is an example: https://idw.community/group/JokesMemes/discussion/174333/not-religious-https-www-youtube-com-watch-v-ma6w5kt6eiu-t-233s Meanwhile, there are occasions where decent left and right wingers have intellectual conversations, even agreeing on the same thing, like here: https://idw.community/group/culturewar/discussion/173672/do-you-think-that-those-youtubers-podcast-hosts-bloggers-etc-who-make-strong-criticism-on-the-pr?cid=1244805 It's impossible for anyone to be 100% neutral; everybody is biased, but some have the discipline and intellectual curiosity to seek to understand and engage opinions that are different from their own.

@saramarylop3z Thank you for your input. I value views and opinions that are formed based on objective observations like those you make. Many people are so biased that they cannot acknowledge different views from theirs. I think people monetise free speech as well. The other day, I saw Tim Pool being outraged on YouTube because FB is about to remove his account. Unfortunately, FB can do so because intentionally or not, FB revealed in court that it was a publisher (in 2019). I very much doubt that YouTubers/journalists like TP are not aware of this. I couldn't help thinking that TP's outrage was fake but he probably successfully increased his popularity.

Naomi replies on Jan 17, 2021:

@dd54 I know what you mean. I'm inclined to think that if the Dutch government was so corrupt, they would've tried to find a way to get away with the false accusation of tax fraud and wouldn't have resigned. There is no doubt that all governments are corrupt one or another; it is the matter of which government is least corrupt.

@FrankZeleniuk Making objective observations is definitely a skill, isn't it? I actually agree with a lot of things Peterson says. I think I liked him more when he was still teaching before he became more political and businessman like. He is a father figure to millions of young men. It's sad that they're disconnected from their own fathers. Communication between parents and children is so important.

Facebook Has RESTRICTED My Page Effectively Shutting it Down, The Purge Is Real And Will Get WORSE -...

Naomi comments on Jan 17, 2021:

Facebook is a publisher, not a platform, though. As a publisher, a social media site is responsible for its contents. That is, it can make editorial decisions including deciding whether or not to suspend/remove a user account.

Naomi replies on Jan 17, 2021:

Hello WorldSigh, In 2019, a woman called Loomer took FB to court for removing her account. FB then revealed, intentionally or not, that it was a publisher. When it is convenient, FB pretends to be a platform claiming that it is protected under Section 230. The truth is that FB is a publisher and its status was confirmed by its own assertion in court. FB cannot have it both ways. FB made itself a legal precedent, for or against itself, which will be referred to every time users sue FB for suspending/removing their accounts as well as making editorial changes to its contents. https://yaircohen.co.uk/why-facebook-is-a-publisher/ https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/Loomer-v-Facebook-fb-response.pdf I find it hard to believe that Tim Pool doesn't know anything about Loomer's case. I presume that he has his own social media lawyers. If he is genuinely upset about being shut down by FB, he should file a lawsuit against FB. I bet he won't... I can't help thinking that TB's outrage is fake and he is being disingenuous on this occasion, sorry to say.

Hello RitBorg, "All of these people have had their lives ripped apart or torn inside out by the left and they speak because they wish to highlight the dangers of the left gone too far." I believe that's what happened to them, too. "All of them would rather be doing what they were doing before the left “came for them”. If they weren’t being targeted they would go back to their lives and be happy." I understand their initial urge to speak up against whatever they believe is harming society. Meanwhile, they have earned celebrity status. Would they go back to what they were doing before? I'm not sure. I remember that Peterson once said on YouTube that he found a way to monetise SJWs. I remember I felt disappointed at that time; I had been closely following him.

Naomi replies on Jan 17, 2021:

Thank you for your insightful comment. The first paragraph of your comment is very convincing, which looks at the matter from both ends. I'm non-white myself but I personally have very little experience with racism against me. A friend of mine once said that probably because I'm not conscious of my ethnic minority background all the time; ignorance is bliss. So, I can't pretend to know what it is like to be a victim of racism. Also, I think that people are sometimes just curious about others who look different and that curiosity may be reflected in different behaviours and may be seen as prejudice, unfortunately - ha, I make myself sound naive! I don't doubt that prejudice against people belonging to a certain racial or ethnic group exists, and that it is used as a political weapon by both sides.

@Josf-Kelley It seems that you're missing the point. Do you trust your government or not? My observation, from your comments and other members' comments on this site, is that the people in America have completely lost their trust in the Establishment. I can find several comments you made on different occasions, which suggest that the US government consists of a bunch of criminals, or something along those lines, which is by the way a hyperbolic expression. Additionally, your manner of engaging conversations; the way you take others' comments too literally and seriously is not unfamiliar with me but it certainly does not make communication easy.

@Josf-Kelley I may be completely wrong because I'm merely a bystander; I don't live in America so I can't have any insight as to what is happening over there, but it seems that American society has become divided at all levels to such an extent that the people in America have completely lost their trust in the Establishment. If that is the case, you will find no solution. They would continue to fight against each other like vigilantes or anarchists while the world watches America's democracy gradually crumble. :(
