Stock market plummets as Trump announces new tariff war
1y 4mon ago in politics from newrepublic.comRight. The S and P 500 went down 0.5% yesterday, it's a pretty typical trading day and still up over the last five days, month, six months and the year.
Trumps a lunatic, but one thing he does understand is business.
Elon Musk Takes Aim at Reddit
1y 4mon ago in reddit from www.newsweek.comI'm done here, have a nice day.
I'd argue that whilst it is the source of the debate that I'm currently only interested in the tangential discussion regarding freedom of speech and whether it is ok to label someone a Nazi because you disagree with them.
You can discuss Musk with other people, I'm not interested.
I'm not getting drawn in to the debate of wether it was or wasn't.
I'm defending people's rights to have an opinion without being labeled a Nazi by default because it trivialises the awful crimes commited in WWII.
Denying the holocaust is a crime in some countries, and with good reason. Let me know when we're not allowed to discuss the actions of Musk.
Thank you for understanding that I'm only here to talk about free speech.
If the rules were no X posts, then they should've had the post taken down with a warning. I don't think a lifetime ban is a reasonable response to an undesirable opinion, I don't think it meets the requirements of hate speech which is where I'd personally draw the line.
It's an opinion. I'm not saying it was, I'm not saying it wasn't, I'm expressing some level of doubt, nothing more nothing less.
But I'm not here to talk about musk's salute, I'm here to say people are entitled to an opinion.
I'm not arguing about Musk here, I'm arguing whether people should be allowed to express themselves.
Ok, that's fine, but what you are doing is equating everyone that expresses a different opinion on musks salute to a Nazi, and whilst I understand why that is a popular opinion here, I don't think it's entirely helpful.
You could say it's your opinion that they are gullible, delusional, easily misled or whatever else, let me know when democracy, the rule of law and human rights are being infringed and let's talk.
I don't care. Read my full comment history if you want, you'll find I'm quite clearly a left winger.
I really don't know what my comment history has to do with my ability to defend freedom of speech.
I couldn't care less if people want to take issue with my opinions, I only ask that it's kept civil and the debate is kept relevant to the subject, I'm not interested in personal attacks.
Invasion of privacy, breech of the peace, trespassing and probably more.
Your terrible analogy has almost nothing to do with freedom of speech, if you think a redditor writing an opinion on Musk is equivalent to them playing the drums in your bedroom at night, you might be a tad sensitive.
Which instances have the most diverse points of view?
