Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It's written in the article that I assume you haven't read
The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election
This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups
It's all appeal to emotion
A good narrative is captivating. It's really simple and comforting to know that the world is good vs evil and you're on the good side. Those guys are on the devil's side and we must stop them at all costs or it will be THE END OF AMERICA!! ** Dramatic yelling **
It's easy to convince less educated people using fear and misdirection. What are they gonna do? Check the sources and think critically about the topic? Lol
Convincing someone that thinks you're their mortal enemy is difficult. That's why you have to be their best friend. Show them that you care for their opinion and ask them to explain to you. Show genuine curiosity and then give them something to think about.
"Hey, I see your point man, but I don't know enough about this so I'm not sure. Hey I've found this article that has some interesting points. What do you think?"
It's not easy but I think this is what really creates change
I'd be scared to hear that. Those mfs have 40 thousand hammers!!
Of course i would appreciate it if we stopped selling weapons.
The West is not perfect by any means. (and I noticed you skipped answering my question about dictators with EU support)
My point is that country leaders have limited influence. They can't influence everything like you seem to suggest
My brother what can they do?? They put diplomatic pressure and sanctions in place but there's nothing more a country can do to influence another nation.
There are US and EU sanctions in Venezuela since years. But they still manage to live in their limited space.
Saudi Arabia is an Absolute Monarchy. They have a king and all that bullshit. The king is a de facto dictator BY DESIGN. that's their constitution.
What do you expect us to say?? "hey, how about you abolish your whole political system? Because you know... We kinda don't like it"
I don't like it either bro but it is what it is. We have to live with that bullshit. Unfortunately there is no solution to everything
Name a dictator that gets political support from the EU
Remember to be your enemy's best friend!
when you criticize someone your objective is to help them form a better opinion. If you simply point out that their opinion is wrong it's likely that they will consider your argument as an attack on their values or self. At this point the argumentation is of no value
Instead talk to them like you would talk to your best friend. Listen and try to understand where their concern comes from, and ask questions that make them have to analyse their own opinions.
You need to help them see what their biases/emotions won't let them. It takes patience and compassion.
Western powers are willing to recognise Putin as the ruler of the Russian Federation
"A European Union spokesman said the elections were not properly monitored, nor conducted in a free and fair way. The governments of the UK, Germany and the US echoed this." -BBC on the Russian 2021 elections
This has always happened in the past Russian elections. The EU doesn't push harder on this topic because they know these efforts won't influence Russia
On Venezuela however, there's a lot more chance that international pressure will cause changes. Maduro GTFO!
This sounds so stupid in my head. I hate it
What's to see?
I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth
Yes it's dystopian as fuck how much money he's able to make. But that's not a result of him being evil or something. That's a result of how the advertisement Industry works.
He's just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he's good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.
I don't like Mr. Beast. But don't think he's doing anything unethical
Doesn't matter how much you bomb Mexico. If there is a demand for drugs there will be a supply. No matter the price. A drug addict will do ANYTHING to get it
Cutting the supply would only work if you're somehow able to cut almost all supply for 30 years straight, until the currently addicted people die off or sort themselves out
To stop the drugs you need to stop the demand for drugs. Treat addicts instead of arresting them. And oh my god stop prescribing literal Opioids as "treatment"
The point here is not that this comment hurts trump in some way. But that it hurts democracy. It favors violence over reason.
Many believe that the world might be better if trump was dead, but on the other side, if assassination is an acceptable solution to politics then democracy is destroyed.
The people that are against Trump are also against fascism. And supporting his murder is contradictory and essentially hurts your own cause.
Choosing to be fair and respectful to your enemy is the best course of action. Even though it might be extremely frustrating.
Your right to free speech ends when it turns into terrorism, racism or a call for a coup.
There are some things that should be banned, such as the twitter accounts that promoted the attempt at a coup in Brazil in Jan 8 2023.
These are the accounts that the judge asked to be banned. After Twitter didn't comply they started sending fines and eventually outright banning it.
Free speech doesn't mean you can say literally anything. It means the government cannot punish you for your political views. But they can, and must punish racism and anti-democracy speech.
Also, it's a misconception that a decentralized service cannot be banned. In fact it's not hard at all
