Sorry. But understand the context im giving you. You don’t have to argue that its not true.

JFC I am only explaining the legal and cultural framework. Which should have clarified things for you, instead of making you angry.

fuck the fuck off

Freedom of speech is a broader principle, and existed before the US.

The 1st Amendment ensures our speech is protected from the government; it does not give that right. Our rights are considered “natural rights” and thus law only codifies them; rights are not given to us by the government. Small but important detail.

That is a fantastic article, thank you. I don’t know if there is a way around the ennui engine, not without massive systemic changes; seems like it’s part of human nature. It seems pretty rational too, from an animal-brain point of view … to take a sure win right now instead of a maybe-win later.

It’s unfortunate that this feeds so many people’s anger cycle. I wonder if that’s cultural.

I wonder if the internet culture of sharing has died off somewhat. Old guy here. Are people are so used to consuming they forget about sharing? Or maybe it’s just the type of person who uses the internet today is inherently more consumer then early adopters?

In my day a big appeal of the internet was to share things. But now it is to consume things.
