So community notes can address more instances of misinformation, that part is true.

But if the community provides misinformation as the "note" then it can actually spread and legitimize misinformation.

So superior is definitely the wrong word for it. Perhaps more efficient? But also more likely to reinforce echo chambers.

Superior would be implementing community notes and then having those checked by centralized fact checkers.

Yes, other people who disregard facts share your opinion.

God forbid people have fun.

So they removed fact checking, and someone lied? Oh my, what a surprise.

Knowing he's senile and keeping him in office is worse than hiding it, isn't it?

And the people doing the same thing now for the other senile old man, they should have to answer for it as well, yeah?

Last time we had a major protest in the city of Chicago, 24 people died. That's a little more than "the slightest consequence or inconvenience"

Luigi's protest was way more efficient. Only one person has died.

When we have protests large enough to get noticed, we get attacked by the police. Why should the protesters have to suffer? Make the oppressors suffer instead.

The first book is phenomenal. The others are good, but not necessarily "must read"

That's already true though. Anyone can kill anyone. It just costs the killer their freedom or their life.

We need to bring back "No taxation without representation" because rich fucks sure as hell can't fairly represent the rest of us.

"Do you want to live in a move civil society where everyone is treated equal, or do you prefer to live in a post civil society where it's each for their own and we just murder those that we have a conflict with?"

Oh, the first one, absolutely.

But we're already living in the second one it's simply obfuscated by an illusion of civility. When the violence is only directed downward, it's somehow legal and civil, but when it's directed upwards, they convince the public that it's wrong.

Some of us disagree with that, and think that mass murderers should be punished even if the law won't do its job.

This is what one would expect Plain Simple Garak the Tailor to say.

Out loud.

He can't be a cunt, he lacks the warmth and depth.

Huh. TIL. Had always seen consciousness or conscious mind.

So we're back to the protesters having to suffer.

Nah, I think the oppressors should suffer instead.

The slippery slope is a common logical fallacy. It's not real. Look it up.

I pointed out how protests are met with the violence of the state, and your response was "it's not easy"

How else could one interpret that?

So two things.

First off, tell them, not me.

Second, we want to make them think about their opinion so that they can see that they're wrong. If you're combative like in your comment above, they're just going to dismiss you as an asshole and not listen to the point you're trying to make.

I agree with the other things you said about solidarity.

But your implied view of protests, where the protesters have to suffer violence at the hands of the oppressors, is just insane to me.

And cops have been recorded commiting war crimes against the American people, and guess what the recordings did? Fucking. Nothing.

They brutally attacked protesters during the Vietnam war protests, what are you talking about?

They did in fact stop millions of people in more recent protests, once again by using violence against the protesters.
