Is 4chan doing nothing? What? Does anonymous not deliver anymore?

ThisIsntMe123 ago

No one here likes pedos, nor wants to give them safe haven. That's why they don't like us. Didn't we kick that one Hecto or Hecho or whatever guy out?

bdmthrfkr ago

Hecho, the resident pedo was brutally ejected from Voat by all of us goats. He is a stain on humanity and next should be v/loli and the moderator Aged. He has the right to post on Voat whether I like it or not and that is one of the things that I like most about this place but I also have the right not to like his loli content.

The fact that I find loli crap abhorrent (it's not illegal btw) and the fact that Voat allows Aged to post said crap makes me realize that this is the right place to be for free speech. I don't have to like what you say but if we don't stick together and shut this law down none of us will have the right to say anything which is against the ZOG agenda.

mqrmqr ago

@Aged is most likely a Hecho alt.

bdmthrfkr ago

Believe it or not I actually asked him that once and he denied it. Since I don't have any proof either way...

Here's an easy link from the EFF: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-fosta

skodalover ago

omg no.. I only just moved here :(

novictim ago

This is an obviously dangerous bill and a tool for cloaking censorship as "saving the children!". Likely sponsored by Google and Facebook to squash their young and poorly funded competition. It would ultimately suppress any and all small upstart companies like Minds.com and VOAT with a wave of legal actions.

Shutting down dissenting voices would not be just a trigger pull away, a knee jerk action, whenever some agency feels upset that the public is getting around the MSM wall of propaganda and tailored narratives...BOOM! False Flag Child porn on the website +/- solicitations = legal action sufficient to destroy any small business. The power of the state cannot overwhelm Google but it can overwhelm VOAT.

And while they are obsessed with this bill, here is what they have ignored for over a decade:

"The gangs want virgins and girls who are free of sexual diseases. Most of the men buying sex with the girls have Muslim wives and they don't want to risk infection. The younger you look, the more saleable you are."

bdmthrfkr ago

Site owners will never be able to keep up with the lawsuits, as soon as you fight off one they will just launch another. How long do you fight and when is it just not worth it?

novictim ago

Exactly. People will raise this issue and then other will say that the legal system will sort it out. But the legal system will then just bankrupt the competition as they defend the countless false flags thrown up by Google share holders and puppet accounts and troll farms.

R34p_Th3_Wh0r1w1nd ago

If this is the case. Som et one better start archiving the entire site before it gets washed away.

oNicholasV ago

Yea, this won't be all over the news because 90%-95% of the media are leftist narratives. They would probably want this so that they can stop truth from being spoken on the internet.

I can totally see Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit saying something like, "In order to stop child sex trafficking, we have to take down any content against gun control, or pro free speech, or pro nuclear family." I can totally see them saying, "If your anti LGBTQ then you're for child sex trafficking, and we must take your account down." That's just how inconsistent these folks are.

I honestly think, this stuff is going to eventually happen. People should start looking for ways to leverage the internet without the traditional website GUI

voatHatesTheFirst ago

I guess I'll just pray.

Oy vey. Why do they persecute me so?

It looks like the deadline for it is 10am monday, not tuesday.

captainstrange ago

We can also start making posts on the Daily Stormer 'plotting' to get minority and jewish social media accounts/groups/websites shut down and then use that as evidence while calling our politicians. They'll shit their pants and want to distance themselves from the bill.

Every 'antisemitic' website you can find, start posting how we can use this bill to shut down minorities and jewish groups online.

captainstrange ago

The surest way to get this out front of the media is report it as 'dictator trump trying to censor the truth of russiagate on twitter.'

Theres your bait. The media won't be able to resist even if they want to.

Optional-Reading ago

I understand OP's concern with the false flag attack to get Voat shut down but my question is how will FB & Twatter survive? BLM, Antifa, & ISIS are allowed on both of those platforms with no repercussions. Whatever loophole social media giants use to escape culpability should be used by Voat, GAB, etc

captainstrange ago

The loophole you're speaking of is 'selective enforcement', which is another word for 'privilege.'

This isn't something that can be exploited. Bigger platforms will just be given exceptions. Smaller platforms won't. Anyone arguing in favor of smaller platforms will be shot down as "supporting human traffickers over some small social media platform that obviously doesn't have its act together and is intentionally skirting the law" or some horseshit.

It should be illegal to put forth bills with deceptive titles. "The Saving Babies from Rapists Act: 1) The Constitution is made null and void 2) (etc)" Hey Mr. Congressperson you don't want to have a NAY vote registered on your permanent record regarding the "saving babies from racists" bill do you? Career suicide!

Obviously if this was a great big wonderful piece of legislation the news would be boasting about it left and right, touting how it will save all the children from the bad internet people. Amazing how fast the government can pass legislation that is traitorous, treasonous, tyrannical. Good reform must be talked about for years and never passed.

Oh look at me wasting time complaining about the workings of a government that doesn't even exist anymore because it was sold out to a global cabal over a hundred years ago and has only been a free Constitution country as a facade to keep people from rising up against their bondage.

What is needed to fix the root problem is some thing that can not be taken down.. A decentralized platform needs to be created, but that can still be updated or changed by a group of developers (kind of like how crypto works, or how openbazaar works)..

I know some thing like that would take time and effort to create and make it as good as voat is now, but I am afraid in the future we won't really have a choice.. Hopefully this piece of shit bill won't pass, but it probably WILL PASS because the title of the bill was made to be loaded, so that if you vote against it, it makes you look like some evil pedo..

On a site like this, it's wise to post from VPN's, using new accounts when posting potentially controversial views. I've been around since the beginning but it never felt wise to build up a single account. Once you've been accosted by the thought police once, you tend to tighten up your game. ;)

bdmthrfkr ago

The "Shill Rule" is simple. The more truth that they are trying to suppress then the more resources they will devote to your post. I actually love shills, they ALWAYS let me know when I am on the right track.

GreenSmoke ago

Its about time we begin exercising our god given inalienable human rights. Like the bill of rights. And none of that namby pamby interpreting shit, its very obvious the intent and meaning behind the bill of rights.

So they constantly violate our inviolable rights, trampling all over the constitution and attempting to destroy the foundations of the greatest free country to ever exist. Pretty solid god damned reasons to fully exercise our first and second amendment rights, speak out against the tyranny (and jee would you look at that a bill proposed to further erode that right) and then when they try and stop the first, utilize the second. There is PLENTY of historical and constitutional basis for the people who believe in America as founded, to arm themselves and take definitive action to ensure the constitution is upheld.

Right now, real Americans are exercising EXTREME restraint and a willingness to work peacefully towards correcting these problems, by not having giant well armed civilian militias storming and taking over the illegitimate government institutions (any gov arm that has violated the constitution in any way is illegitimate) and executing all the treasonous worms. We are trying to be peaceful, but they just keep taking and pushing and banning and registering and spying and stealing and murdering, and its unacceptable.

If Trump is assassinated, if they ban sites like voat and none of us can communicate freely, thats the end of peacefully attempting to fix things. THE FUCKING END. There is already currently vastly more than enough reason for armed violent revolution, but I'm drawing some lines and i expect other constitution believing Americans to do that same. I was born into this country to a line of people born into this country by a line of people who founded and established this country. That line also mixed with the "native" population, so i am an American, can literally not be any more American, my ancestors lived here before whitey showed up, they failed miserably at guarding their lands and people from being displaced by the COLONISTS (Not invaders, not illegal aliens) and now that part of my ancestry is essentially gone thanks entirely to their "open borders" way of life. But the larger part of my heritage, the colonist side, did nothing wrong by going somewhere they were essentially welcomed to, in a time of the world where conquest was still accepted, they didnt have to sneak past the native border patrol, they didnt have to bombard the beaches and storm forts to capture everything, largely they just showed up, were welcomed, bought a bunch of land for beads, and eventually became the new natives.

I've digressed enough, my point is, this is my home, this is my land, this is my constitution, these are my rights, and i will NEVER surrender them. Not to a flood of illegal beaners, not to somali "refugees", not to the snakey jews bringing all the savages in, and not the mentally retarded left who use the constitution and the memories of our founding fathers as toilet paper (assuming they use paper and not their left hand)

bdmthrfkr ago

Fight for your land (at the ballot box and by interacting with your Representative) for as long as possible. NOBODY really wants another Civil War. If the ballot box is compromised though and our means of communications are compromised or shut down, then more forceful means may be necessary. I honestly hope that it never comes to that but if it must then it must.

Americans are a generally peaceful people until they have been backed into a corner, that's when the gloves come off and we show the colors that don't bleed.

Or the lizardmen run things; and its too late anyways.

Either way I’ll shoot an email to my congressman, so should you

MESHNET ago

I have no congressmen. Only slaves attempt to meet their needs through representative systems. I want the corporate internet to become so unusable that those that are good with coding put their fucking video games down and work to create open source and free alternatives.

Chiefpacman ago

Only slaves attempt to meet their needs through representative systems.

I think that’s the opposite definition of slavery. Slaves don’t have a representative body.

I want the corporate internet to become so unusable

I’m not sure that the internet works like that. Besides, Amazon’s interne feed going down wouldn't do much/ easily repaired..

MESHNET ago

I don't draw any benefits from the system and am therefore not contracted into it. I don't even believe that congressmen and the pathetic statists that grovel before them are even human so I most definitely don't have a congressman.

If you can't get up every day and do exactly what you want to do without jeopardizing your ability to feed and shelter yourself, sorry, but you are definitely a slave. Your masters, instead of using whips, just use propaganda, money, and your own ignorance and greed to control you.

This entire internet is the corporate internet. When people can only access gmail, youtube, amazon, netflix, and government sites on it, it will be replaced as the primary means of communication. Look at the currently available ISP plans in Portugal as an example.

DanHalen ago

No Tl; DR, but here goes: 1. The left is a useful tool to propagate the systems needs 2. All is accomplished for the system, from intellectuals to rebels. 3. Technology is the means to sustain and advance the system. 4. You cannot separate the good from the bad in regards to major technologies. 5. People en masse are susceptible to living in horrible conditions or willing to bear atrocities if they have no hope, or if everyone around them sees no way out.

Thanks for that, I will revisit it when we put out this current brushfire.

To be fair his methods achieved not very much, maybe writing your Congressman (along with thousands of others) might be more effective. Just a thought.

I would hate to be a hosting service in the U.S if this passes. As afr as Voat goes I don't really know, I assume that the site can be hosted offshore but CloudFlare is an American company and will eventually be effected as these types of laws expand. Just look at the Daily Stormer as an example.

aileron_ron ago

The one thing that I saw was "The bill would allow the government to prosecute websites which knowingly help or promote sex trafficking". Is that what voat is about criminal activity's.

bdmthrfkr ago

No the problem is that bad actors can plant evidence on a site that they don't like, hide it in a corner that nobody will ever see and then use that in a Federal court of law. Most site owners will opt to close the site before they have to run the proprietorial gauntlet.

cantaloupe6 ago

If it's an issue, perhaps don't store user images locally, until legal advice can be obtained; if voat only holds text it shouldn't be accountable. Perhaps take steps to move the domain as well. External images could be linked and embedded. @PuttItOut Perhaps this is already done; haven't checked the implementation.

bdmthrfkr ago

Unfortunately "trafficking" can be accomplished by text. Not as great a case in court but good enough to bring a case in court. How many site owners want to face a Federal judge? My guess would be zero.

If you are targeting a site you will document it (from a concerned citizens account, of course). Then the courts come into play.

If you are an American write your congressman, if not then spread this information in such a way that Americans find out about it. This is totally buried right now by the "press" and almost nobody knows that freedom of speech online might come to a screeching halt.

Well, then people might have to start getting together in person to actually discuss their views, instead of relying on a prettified BBS. For all you basement dwellers on here, that's a vastly different experience. And who knows? Then things might actually start getting done!

MESHNET ago

EXACTLY!!!

MESHNET ago

I gave up on my old account because it seems that this entire site consists of shills and bots but I guess I'll give it one more try.

ATTENTION VOAT USERS! I'm freely giving you a trillion dollar idea that will create free communication for the entire world!

This site is hosted on and accessed through a compromised network, so intentional of not, Voat IS a honeypot! The corporate/government internet was started by DARPA! https://www.darpa.mil/

THE INTERNET WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE FREE OR FAIR!

If you truly want a way to spread ideas and communicate freely, without government intrusion, open source, decentralized, p2p meshnet development is the only path to that goal. Begging the psychopaths in charge to protect your rights to use their services will get you nowhere!

Here's the only way it will work with currently available tech:

Someone will need to modify the open source diaspora code in a few ways:

The first step will be to extend the packet hand off time from three hours to at least three days. This way, if people access the network at least once every three days, they won't lose any federated info.

Next, pics and video will need to be disabled in order to lower bandwidth and prevent sabotage by gov forces posting CP.

Then, the code needs to be altered so a small cryptocurrency bond must be put up to open an account. This bond will grow and shrink in accordance with the crypto market. It might be a good idea to start a totally anonymous meshnet specific crypto$. It could be called meshcoin if someone's not already using it. When someone is banned from the network due to community flagged abuse, their bond goes towards incentivizing community moderators that are randomly chosen from a pool of high reputation users and transceiver node builders/maintainers. If someone quits the network in good standing, they get their entire bond back, including the value that it's gained. This will incentivize early adopter/s/developers to do whatever they can to expand the network because once the network grows and their bonds gain value, they can quit, cash out, and make a new account whenever they want.

A community moderation system will need to be installed so that members with a good reputation are randomly chosen to moderate posts that are flagged by the community. Once a user gets a certain number of verified flagged posts, they are banned and their bond gets used for network growth and moderation incentives.

A backup sneakernet system will need to be established to transfer communication between local nodes in cases where p2p or long range repeaters don't work or are disabled. Truckers could plug thumb drives into local nodes as they complete their routes, and be entitled to some of the forfeited bond money for their services.

Federated info could be checked for accuracy by using blockchain technology. Maybe some of steemit's code could be applied here?

Also, setting up a system where users can sell of freely share their DARPAnet connections will be a good idea until the meshnet gains coverage.

Hyperboria/Project Meshnet has decent routing software figured out.

Solar/wind powered repeater drones could be built with forfeited bond money and deployed to spread the network, leapfrogging the information over mountains and uninhabited areas. Wind/shock/solar/12v powered mini repeater nodes that automatically connect and spread federated info could be magnetically attached to taxis, buses, UPS trucks, and semi's.

THIS IS A REAL SOLUTION THAT IS POSSIBLE WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGY! Basic nodes can be built for the cost of an old router.

All that's needed is a few people that are good at coding to tie already developed open source software together and a few people that want to invest a little bit of their time and money to build and maintain nodes. Forfeited bonds can repay them once the network is established and fund operating costs.

I have a strict policy of not meeting online contacts in person but I put all of the necessary information here for someone to form a group, take these ideas and run with them. If this group is formed, I'll join in and participate as much as I can.

As I said above, Voat is a honeypot, whether intentional of not, simply because it operates over a corp/government controlled network. I would recommend that the initial group that forms use in person interaction, far away from smart phones and IOT devices, and snail mail to communicate until the project is rolling on it's own, is too big to stop, and has spread organically over the darpanet. This core group could write the code in a way where they get a small percentage of the forfeited bonds as well, making this a potentially extremely lucrative endeavor that will make facebook's financial success a joke in comparison. The people that enable free communication to the entire world will get rich beyond their wildest beliefs, and not by taking money from good people, but by taking money from spammers, scammers, and assholes. You will be heroes to the entire planet but will have to remain anonymous to protect your safety. If this type of network grows big enough to cut into the profits of the establishment, they'll do everything they can to stop it.

derkataIog ago

you should have messaged me, @sanegoatiswear. @puttitout account is operated by the paid shills that own and operate voat. i'm currently building a voat replacement (as well as some other sites that i believe the community will enjoy).

and although the first version (to get it up quick in case these sites literally die) will be front net, i'm considering something akin to a mesh network or something like holochain for the final version. i do like holochain. thoughts?

BrokenCompass ago

Disable video or images. You do know you can still send shitloads of "text looking shit" that makes up an image?

Baconmon ago

You seem to have done a lot of research about that.. And even if every aspect of the idea isn't completely perfect yet, it is far better than operating over the clear normal ISP internet..

The problem with humans is that they are lazy and if what they are currently using works, they don't see a reason to switch to some thing else.. I am just kind of speculating and don't know much about it, but if your plan could some how be modified to work on both the ISP internet AND the meshnet it might encourage people to transition to it more, because few people are going to want to join a meshnet at first if there is hardly any thing on it.. Just like how 64-bit processors probably would have flopped if they didn't include 32-bit compatibility, but now mostly every one is running 64-bit stuff.. So if the meshnet could use the normal ISP internet as a transparent back-up, I think that might help people integrate in to the meshnet easier.. Not sure how the logistics of that would be implemented exactly..

Any way, decentralized stuff is definitely part of the future, like cryptocurrencies can eventually replace traditional fiat currency, openbazaar is the decentralized counterpart to rakuten/amazon/newegg etc, and the meshnet will be a counterpart to using ISP as an expensive middle-man to access the internet..

I think people that can think critically such as your self are very much welcomed on places like voat, so hopefully you can stick around and post some more stuff on various subjects around here..

MESHNET ago

I posted all of this stuff here for two years and no one ever interacted at a productive level. I just decided to sign back up to drop this idea here again. I don't think an alternative will be developed until the current system fails. Sadly, losing the opportunity to use the master's tools to build the escape ships will make developing alternatives exponentially more difficult. It may already be too late.

As far as implementing the structure on the current internet goes, it's just not going to happen because it threatens the current system. It's like asking your heroin dealer to meet you at the counter at your local drugstore and making the deal right in front of the pharmacist.

MESHNET ago

Someone already pm'd me to let me know that this system would be too easy to abuse. I asked them how.....no response. There won't be a valid response because it's bombproof.

MESHNET ago

Another pm from a user that doesn't understand forums, or doesn't want to make their ignorance and negativity public:

"No the problem is you misunderstand human nature. your post implies that people are just going to naturally cooperate and facilitate this freedom. If history has taught us anything it's that humans are always the weak link in the equation."

My response: Why are you sending me pm's when you obviously don't understand how open source software and blockchain tech works? Why not post in the thread so others can address your questions? Also people with the same questions as you will have access to the answers, which saves everyone's time and is the entire point of a forum format.

This system actually feeds itself with the disgusting nature of civilized subhumans. Anyone abusing the system can be flagged. Those flags can be investigated by moderators that are chosen at random. Anyone can lose their account. If someone sees that another user, even a core developer, is abusing the system, they can put a request into the moderation que and it will be handled by the community.

MyOriginalVoatUser ago

This is how totalitarian societies work. Once our basic right to bear firearms have been removed then we will loose the freedom of speech.

bdmthrfkr ago

And every other right given time. The 1st and 2nd Amendments weren't the 12th and 13th Amendments for a reason.

WatchListMe ago

One of Donald Trumps primary achievements has been to stop human trafficking and arrest pedophiles. He is against net neutrality, and overturned it. Everyone thought the sky would fall, and nothing happened. There are no fast lanes - and he said it was vital to catch pedophiles and end human misery.

Now I understand this bill, if passed into law, could be abused by bad actors. For example, some kike could upload his personal collection of child rape photos to voat, and then report voat for hosting illegal material. This could result in Voat being shut down by force for distributing child pornography.

However, if Voat would comply and pass over the IP address of the bad actors who uploaded this content - I have to believe they would work with them. This is a slippery slope however, and could also lead to the requesting of the IP address of those who say they want to shoot obama in the face, want to gas the jews, etc...

Anything and everything can be exploited to someones benefit. However, if you are a pedophile I want you arrested and sentenced to death in as quick a trial as humanly possible. The only reason I am hesitant to support this bill, is that there do not appear to be any safeguards against an innocent webmaster being attacked. At the same time, if Donald Trump spoke about this bill and said he needed it to catch the scumbags - I would reluctantly support the bill.

Does anyone know who proposed this bill and whether they were appointed by Trump? Who is responsible, and which party is responsible for this proposal? That makes a world of difference.

Crikes ago

Attack on free speech is attack on right to bear arms.

We must have free speech to know when to use our arms.

We must have right to arms to be able to defend against trouble when we know it exists.

They are linked. This is why they're under attack simultaneously at the moment.

They're coming at your arms sideways.

bdmthrfkr ago

A very perceptive outlook. This is a multi-front assault on all of the most basic Constitutionally protected rights of American citizens. Without the 1st or the 2nd Amendment the other is moot, the two go hand in hand.

Fight for your rights goat, write your Congressman now and if they still pass it vote against the bastard in the 2018 primaries. Oh, and tell your friends about this outrage too, the (((media))) is on lockdown about this thanks to a random (((school shooting))).

Crikes ago

If either is violated, the other goes next.. followed by everything else.

Not that we'd know necessarily.

bdmthrfkr ago

We already know, now we just have to make sure that our wishes are enforced. I didn't mean this post to be a blackpill, I more meant that it is time to get off of our asses and flex some muscle. Go flex and get shit done goat.

Your Republican President/Congress in action.

This is bi-partisan so the blame goes to the entire system. Jee, I wonder what could be a systemic problem that our system faces...

It might be bi-partisan but but the Republicans own the administration, the senate and the house, therefore, the Dem's couldn't do this alone. Jew's are known to be prone to be Dem's.Are you inferring, Jew's own the entire U.S. government, including the President?

CheeseboogersGhost ago

Its time to start honest discussion of expelling jews from America. They are enemies of the constitution.

It's anodda shoa!!! Oy vey!!!

Kikes only recognize tribal law as high law, our Constitution means nothing to them. Kikes should never be allowed in positions of power, they don't play by our rule of Law.

wundaboiii ago

How does Voat promote sex trafficking? I'm not seeing this site listed in that link either so what am I missing?

bdmthrfkr ago

It doesn't but if anybody wants your site shut down they just spam you with child porn. Then you get shut down and Putt does a jail term.

wundaboiii ago

So is it more fear of someone randomly "attacking" Voat like that to get it shut down more than govt intentionally doing this to target a site like Voat? Because at least from my experience here I don't see why govt would want to target it over other sites. Reddit had Schwartz which created some issues due to his "activism", but AFAIK Voat doesn't have anyone like that.

bdmthrfkr ago

You weren't around about 2 months (ish) ago but the site owner had mentioned that Voat had generated a fair amount of heat from "powerful" people. This place is influential and they are very scared of it, Voat will be targeted if this law passes.

wundaboiii ago

https://voat.co/v/whatever/2416081/12025518

I don't understand why I'd get downvoted without a response? I do not know why an authority figure would be afraid of Voat, so I'm curious to see the post by the owner as to what Voat was getting "heat" for.

wundaboiii ago

Weird. Any idea what they'd be afraid of? Most of the content I see here is no different than reddit.

Also do you have a link to that submission by the owner? Curiosity, not doubting you.

bdmthrfkr ago

Dude, I am not a helpline with 40 fucking poos manning phones, I tried to answer a fair few of the 100s of comments that this post generated, yours just slipped through the cracks.

Anyways, the content here on Voat is particularly harmful to any globalist forces and policy makers, there are subs here that started on leddit and moved to Voat that are specifically dangerous to the way that the cabal operate and just about all of the people who post here are free thinkers which the media have very little chance of brainwashing like the general population.

Basically, Voat is an extreme danger to the plans of the cabal (you can call them whatever you wish whether that be the Masons or the Illuminati or whatever) and that is why we WILL be targeted for erasure under this fucked up law. The general population can never know the information that we pass around here on Voat, if they did these fuckers will be hung in cities across the globe.

They fear us, that is why they will target us. We know that it is the kikes who are subverting geo-political movements and we aren't afraid to say so and if you think that they won't try to silence any dissent just look at what they did to Mel Gibson.

This is NOT leddit, this is a place where heavy moderation is countered by swift action on the part of the users, we WILL speak our minds here without fear of reprisal and we WILL fight the meme wars out in the space of the normies. Does this answer your question?

wundaboiii ago

Freethinking without action isn't a threat. Reddit frontpage is a meme machine but it has plenty of submissions and discussions that indicate free thinkers being present. Which is why I was asking what sets Voat apart to make it a threat when so far the only thing truly seperating it from Reddit is an activist leader, or any kind of Voat-borne activism at all.

Bigbensbathroomstall ago

There needs to be a contingency in place for voat

OhRutherfordBehave ago

Tweet it out to Paul Nehlen.

Tallest_Skil ago

The guy with no political power who may well be jewish controlled opposition? And who doesn’t have a Twitter account anymore? Great thinking.

OhRutherfordBehave ago

Here's the thing. It can't hurt. There is nothing negative that could come out of doing this. So, you are shilling. You are a low tier shill dude.

Tallest_Skil ago

it can’t hurt

You’re fairly new to the whole redpill scene, aren’t you.

OhRutherfordBehave ago

Nice you are continuing to low tier shill. Dude, you suck at shilling.

Tallest_Skil ago

you suck at shilling

Sure do; that’s why I don’t do it. I prefer facts to being paid to post lies.

Nothing you try to do will have any effect on this bill. When it passes, you won’t do a goddamn thing about it. You won’t protest outside your state capitol. You won’t grab your guns. You won’t even stop sending in your taxes to a government which has openly stated its goal is YOUR GENOCIDE. You will let it happen to you. You have let the last century happen to you. Why should this be different? All of this is truth. And the best part is that you’ll call me a shill for speaking the truth. Because that’s what they do, right? Shills tell the truth, do they?

Prove me wrong. Physically do something. Your great grandparents were cucks. Your grandparents were tricked. Your parents were brainwashed and wanted it to happen, so they cheered it on. And so what are you? Are you a man? Will you stand and fight? Or will you lie down and die like a dog?

Good little goy. Run away to your new “decentralized Internet.” Don’t stand your ground. Don’t fight for what you built. Give up all of Africa and Asia to the horde. Then give up Southern Europe and the American southwest. Then open the doors in the north. Allow “hate speech” laws because whites are so racist. Allow affirmative action because whitey keeps them down. Allow opinions to become illegal. Then allow facts to become illegal. And pat yourself on the back all the while. How NICE you are. How KIND you are. How VIRTUOUS you are.

You allow all of this.

Playing the same game as our enemy only ensures their victory. No amount of protesting, whining, complaining, lobbying, investigating, or truth will ever put them out of business. Only cold and ruthless action will.

This will not end until either the Earth is destroyed or they are exterminated down to last man, woman, and child.

If it was as easy as executing a few, appealing to their “good” side through protests, writing laws, or sending a few to prison to get the message across, we wouldn’t be in this position. But now it seems that the only viable option is the only taboo one.

War.

bdmthrfkr ago

Damn good idea, I don't tweet but I hope somebody else here does!

OhRutherfordBehave ago

Exactly. I don't tweet either, he is on Gab if you have that.

YamaMaya ago

This feels like a setup...like the pedo elites want us to stop this bill so (((they))) can continue to traffick children undetected...

bdmthrfkr ago

Too convoluted. They would rather shut down sites which see them for what they are (ahem v/pizzagate) and then they will be free to fuck as many kids as they want.

YamaMaya ago

Its not that convoluted...just bait some useful idiots into setting a precident. Its just a guess though who knows what those scumbags are really up to.

saltpricesplummet ago

Also to point out that this would only target sites where the users generate the content. If you were the site admin would you want to run the risk of this law hitting you? It would cause a lot of sites to shutdown out of fear for what COULD happen to them alone. All the big corporate sites that force feed you what they want you to see will have no repercussions whatsoever.

bdmthrfkr ago

Exactly the point! Will Putt fight the entire U.S. Govt or will he just throw in the towel. I hope that he just moves the servers off-shore again rather than closing.

VoatIsForTimmy ago

Voat does not allow child porn nor does it allow posts that push sex trafficking. I don't see this as an issue as long as random posts by pedo assholes are reported and removed ASAP.

Cuckbot ago

Removed by who?

bdmthrfkr ago

It will all depend on the enforcement of the law. If you are a paranoid bastard like I am then sites which cause certain people problems will get shut down for a single CP image even if it was removed a minute later and sites that certain people like will not be shut down for an entire catalog of under-age smut.

But never fear, the blind lady Justice will be even handed. The scales are balanced and in our system there are no favorites. /s

Womb_Raider ago

This is huge. If we've ever fought for anything, we need to give this our all. If we lose communication, we lose extra-regional capacity.

It is not the fault of the website, it is the fault of the people engaging in misconduct.

bdmthrfkr ago

This is a MASSIVE change to Internet culture and to how the American legal system deals with site owners. If there was ever a law that could most easily target Voat, the Chans or any other future wild wild west type of free speech platform I can't imagine what it could be. ISPs will be next to be sure.

Landrictree ago

reddit would last 10 minutes.

bdmthrfkr ago

Nobody gives a single fuck about leddit, I am only worried about how free speech platforms will be effected.

Hint: it will be a problem for us.

ShinyVoater ago

Please be very careful with this and, before emailing your representative, READ THE DAMN BILL! There's nothing there that sounds malicious, so make sure to make clear that you're not just raging because you were told to rage. I personally used an analogy to SWATing, explained how hiding your IP is drop-dead easy and through in my own version of "think of the children!".

Obeastiality ago

Slippery slope.

bdmthrfkr ago

A very good point, I did ask people to contact their Congressman but I didn't mention to be polite but firm.

Also, to any of you who will be spreading this across platforms please don't make my mistake and please instruct your audience on proper protocol when dealing with an elected official.

Polite but FIRM!

Crikes ago

We need SAFE Net asap. What decentralized alternatives are there? Voat, tell me you're working on solving for this.

saltpricesplummet ago

In the long run I think decentralization with be the only way we will be able to stay alive. Even while we fight this it would probably be worth it to start looking into it.

revfelix ago

Well I guess we know what was being covered up by the school shooting now.

bdmthrfkr ago

I really didn't hear squat about this until today and with everybody looking in the other direction they may just pull it off. This is a fundamental shift in how the American legal system deals with site owners and absolutely NOBODY is talking about it.

Except for us that is. Get this info out on faceburg and twatter if you can, this is the sort of thing which crosses party lines and people need to know about it!

Thisismyvoatusername ago

You’ve provided a link to a bill in the Senate and that I can tell it hasn’t moved since last Fall. You have provided a chan image saying the House is voting on Tuesday, but clearly they would need to be voting on either a House bill or a bill that already passed the Senate. Are you at all sure of your information?

bdmthrfkr ago

Actually I haven't looked up what happened to this in the Senate, it may have already passed or it may still be in committee. I only linked to this article because it explains the bill in a concise manner.

The stuff from full-chan, while I haven't had a chance to verify it myself (there is a bit of a news blackout on this bill) I do believe simply because C!Odemonkey (the Admin) confirmed it. You actually have me dead to rights on this but even if the vote isn't on Tuesday this is a bill which they are trying desperately to pass. Maybe you can take a look and find this out?

Thisismyvoatusername ago

Cool. I’ll try to do a little research on it later today.

bdmthrfkr ago

Thanks, I'm busy here in the comments trying to rally the troops or I would go look myself.

Thisismyvoatusername ago

I see a bunch of committee meetings, but no scheduled votes for Tuesday: https://www.house.gov/legislative-activity/2018-02-27

bdmthrfkr ago

FINALLY I found something, but it wasn't easy.

On February 21, 2018, Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) issued a press release stating that her bill, H.R. 1865, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA)[20], will be put on the House floor the week of February 26, 2018.[21] According to Congresswoman Wagner, the bill is expected to be considered with an amendment from Congresswoman Mimi Walters (R-CA) that includes victim-centered provisions from SESTA.[22] Like SESTA, the FOSTA-SESTA package would clarify that section 230 of the CDA does not prevent states and victims of sex trafficking from pursuing a course of action against interactive computer service providers, such as Backpage.[23] Congresswoman Wagner stated that she believes that "[o]nline trafficking is flourishing because there are no serious, legal consequences" for websites that profit from sex trafficking and that the "FOSTA-SESTA package will finally give prosecutors the tools they need to protect their communities and give victims a pathway to justice."[24]

It's called "Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA)" in the House. The fact that so little information is available for such a sweeping change to the regulation of the internet is a massive red flag in and of itself. Keep checking the house calendar though, if the vote isn't for Tuesday as originally stated it will be soon.

So far I’ve determined the Senate bill was added to the calendar for the Committee on Commerce, Science and Technology on January 10 but no subsequent action has yet occurred. I’ll see if I can find the House’s calendar to see what is scheduled for Tuesday. Whatever it is cannot be the Senate bill, though.

I'm curious what a deepfake sub is. I don't know Voat's pedo subs nor want to, but because Voat is incorporated under the laws of the United States, I would expect it to adhere to all US law. For example: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2251

The only way to fight is with words, but that's what they're trying to take away. Just look at what youtube.com, and twitter has been doing to those with a conservative voice. Sites like gab.ai will be under pressure to constantly police content. This bill is insidiously subtle to those who just look at the surface reasons. It's basically a move to monopolize the web and shut down alternative sources of discourse.

JEW_MEDIA_SILENT ago

The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act would open a crack in that prohibition. The bill would allow the government to prosecute websites which knowingly help or promote sex trafficking, and also allow users to sue those websites.

The word “knowingly” is key there, as the legislation was sparked by the results a Senate investigative report in July titled “Backpage.com’s Knowing Facilitation of Online Sex Trafficking” which found that the website consciously allowed advertisements for child prostitution and other similar crimes.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), who chaired the investigative committee that produced the report, is the lead Senate sponsor of the bill S. 1693. The legislation was also introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO2) in the House as H.R. 1685.

Bullcrap. The darknet is to hard to reach for the average person. Also, over time, they'll slowly demonize the darknet, and because you don't have enough people looking at the internet alternatives, public option will turn against you and criminalize any internet that cannot be monitored.

This is all about consolidating control of the internet into the hands of a few large conglomerates like youtube, facebook, reddit, etc. that can afford to police their content. Alternatives will be put out of business because they cannot afford to hire "moderators". To suppose that the dark net will save us is foolish.

If those patriotic Americans quit funding psychopaths by quitting their jobs, cutting of the tax flow to the psychopaths, and working directly with their local communities and Nature to meet their needs, government wouldn't be needed and would fade away like a herpes outbreak.

Removes the protection: to websites that facilitate traffickers in advertising the sale of unlawful sex acts with sex trafficking victims.

Maybe I don't see it, above is the actual text, I read it. You can as well. It is targeted at SEX TRAFFICKING sites. Craigslist, Twitter and Facebook has more of an issue with this than Voat should. Are there Cam Whores on Voat trying to get people to buy their shit?

I do see the connection and domino effect but I am also not stupid. This will pass. It's a matter of time. How about we get the degenerates out of Voat and there's no more worry.

Sex Trafficking is for degenerates and losers. I hope the people behind that shit all die by impalement on rusty rebar.

ShinyVoater ago

That's a Senate bill. The one we're talking about is before the House and is just as dangerous as quoted.

BentAxel ago

You linked to the same thing, just not the Government publication H.R. 1865, then there is a submenu of items. Summary, text, actions and related bills. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1865/related-bills

This is why I feel it is important to link to the publication directly.

YouveSeenTheButcher ago

All the democrats (or the ADL) have to do is contact one of their human trafficking buddies and have them make a post or a covert human trafficking subverse on Voat. I'd imagine these human traffickers have their own "language" with code words, phrases, and symbols that are unknown to the law abiding, sexually and mentally healthy, humane person. A subverse that many would overlook due to it's obscure nature.
@Puttitout would be fucked and Voat would be shut down.

bdmthrfkr ago

Yep.

playitagainsam ago

It's not about what degenerates are or are not on a website. If law enforcement/trolls/shills want to shut a site down,they could flood it with illegal content, as we sometimes see on Voat from time to time as is. Only difference would be now Putt could be held criminally liable.

But I understand your assertion that this is more targeted towards Craigslist et all.

NewAccountOldGoat ago

I especially like the phrase "parens patriae".

Who's your daddy?

Rotteuxx ago

The /v/DeepFake & /v/facesets sexual degenerates could easily false flag us into CP allegations & the rest would tumble down from there.

CP is directly linked to human trafficking & usually is what law enforcement looks for to get warrants & investigate deeper. It would probably not lead to much unless investigators are compromised but it sure would lead to a load of bullshit for Puttsy to shovel by himself, which I'm sure would please the anti-Voat crowd, rEdditards & powerful folks alike.

duchessofdarkness ago

Have you ever considered jerking off to sites other than voat? It's easy try it.

Rotteuxx ago

Troll harder faggot

telleveryoneyouknow ago

Is there a way to protect voat from false flags? What’s the protocol for reasonable user monitoring? If twitter has 10,000 people looking at dick picks - do they expect the voat community to filter/censor every post? How is this even possible?

cm18 ago

The bill does not even solve the problem, because those willing to engage in sex trafficing will find alternatives, and it will be harder for law enforcement to monitor. Look at how Facebook is used by law enforcement now. Sites that allow freedom of the press make it easier to lul those criminals into a false sense of security and thus catch them. Shut down alternatives like backpage.com, and it makes law enforcement harder.

weezkitty ago

I don't think what /v/DeepFake is doing would actually fall into that category. The biggest problem I see is that feds could deliberately sneak "sex trafficking" content under the radar and then flag the site. This opens a huge hole of abuse which NO site could be reasonably immune

Pwning4Ever ago

Isn't this what /v/pizzagate wanted? Draconian measures to capture all the pedos?

Rotteuxx ago

I guess they might soon learn that a double edged sword can cut in more than one way.

BentAxel ago

While Child Porn is linked, if you read the summary this was started by "Backpage.com" and the ability to pimp out people underage and not. Your point is not lost, I just believe this is less Voat and way more Instagram, Facebook, Craigslist and anywhere else you get trolls getting you to sign up for naked women et. al.

bdmthrfkr ago

Another article mentioned that Backpage had removed all of the sex-trafficking content but the Senator who put forward the bill still mentioned Backpage 6 times directly. Backpage was just a straw-man which means that all sites that (((they))) don't like are in their cross-hairs.

Rotteuxx ago

I agree, but like any law it can be used as a weapon by our ideological opponents even if fruitless in the end... simply to cause grief & try to discourage our admin.

“While not the intention of the bill, it would create a new wave of frivolous and unpredictable actions against legitimate companies rather than addressing underlying criminal behavior."

Well Dr. Dead Faggot, I'm glad you asked that question!

For one, we have the FBI running child pornography websites, allowing users to download images to their computers.

For two, child pornography is being spread and shared on social media websites. With the government watching everything we do on the internet, does it not seem odd that this is allowed to happen?

And for three, all I have to say is 4chan.

If you seriously need to be supplied with examples at this point, you clearly have not been paying attention.

They can certainly make trouble - and likely will for a while - but the government is inefficient at best, on a really good day.

In fact, dog fucking all day seems to be the number one prerequisite for continued government employment.

I have every faith we can work around whatever comes along.

Of course, better if we can nip this in the bud right now.

bdmthrfkr ago

I was never worried about the dog fuckers, it's the clowns that will try to effectively use their new powers to shape public opinion by performing surgical strikes against sites like ours. We have a chance to get in front of this (I looked around a bit more and the Senate hasn't put this up for a vote on the floor) so now is the time to rally the troops.

No, dummy. Its about consolidating the regular web into a small number of hands such as youtube.com that can afford to police its content. Its real intent is to control discorse on the internet. You can go to the dark web, but there are two major problems with this. One is that the dark web is hard for the average person to get to, the second is that government has become very adept at rooting out web sites such as drug sites.... so they can and will go after the dark web sites as well... unless they have the money or manpower to police the content on their sites.

This is all about killing any competition to youtube, reddit, and facebook. It's all about consolidation of eyeballs, and thus mind control and power.

ready-ignite ago

DA's are pushing for this for the power to arbitrarily shake down internet businesses operating within bounds of the law. I suspect it's all a power and money thing to harass companies that do not defer to them, and create another tool to ensure the 'right' companies win and the ones that don't play ball get shaken up. It's building a godamn protection racquet.

Case in point -- Kamala Harris loved this in California. She signed letters to senate requesting holes carved in Section 230 protections, expressing explicit detail understanding of how these protections work in written form. After that documented understanding she would go on to harass and bully companies operating within the bounds of Section 230 protections. For example, she aggressively targeted Backpage going so far as to arrest their CEO without cause who went on to countersue leaving taxpayers on the hook for wrongful arrest damages. The legal case against Backpage documents a company operating completely above board with Section 230 including sample case where a fake illegal position was made to the site, the company notified of the item, the company review and took down the submission thanking the law enforcement agency for bringing it to their attention, within reasonable timeframe defined by Section 230. That was the core argument against the company -- a detailed example of operating a website and handling when illegal content is posted to the site in a timely and reasonable way.

For further reading about Kamala's adventures shaking down lawful businesses Techdirt covered the story over the months, search her name for good detail from a legal perspective.

Another example is the entertainment industries attempted use of DA's to shake down Google. The Sony Hack revealed extensive collusion between entertainment industry officials and DA hassling google, going so far as to draft legal filings on behalf of the DA. Had this hole in Section 230 existed it would provide a sufficiently ambiguous tool as to have effectively shaken down Google at that time.

Then there's the witch hunt of aggressive DA's going after Aaron Schwartz. This is another legal weapon that can be leveled against disruptive visionaries building the next Google, or major online commerce, that upsets the established accepted internet companies.

Can just round up the innovator and harass them ad nauseum. Don't like that competitor? Just hire reputation management team from across the country to bombard their site with links to copyright infringing items. Generate huge costs a small company can't handle and effectively put them out of business. Monopoly 101. Once you're big enough, create trenches of regulation and other hurdles a new smaller company can't climb.

This is an incredibly powerful exemption that can be easily misused by a body of government we've had many examples in recent years of abusing their powers as a shake down technique. This is an area of government that needs a fresh dose of light and fresh air cleaning up the bad actors that have come to inhabit that space. Instead handing over new tools to behave VERY badly for personal profit is a terrible ideas. This creates a lot of incentive to shake down innocent companies on behalf of possible large donors, then run for Senate as the payoff.

bdmthrfkr ago

This isn't just about money at the moment, it is about investing in a strategy which will give them more power (money) in the future. Shut down free speech sites now and when you have total control (again) then you will make ALL of the moneys.

Created a topic on Gab.ai, lets blow it up.

bdmthrfkr ago

Thanks! The more this spreads the more outrage there will be against this outrageous power grab.

You are doing God's work anon, keep it up!

The_Red_Kraken ago

There seems to be no other choice. We need a final solution.

bdmthrfkr ago

If only I could come up with one...

elitch2 ago

...something final...

bdmthrfkr ago

You mean... like a solution?

elitch2 ago

Some sort of final solution...

TheonGreyjoy ago

It even has bipartisan support and no one is talking about it, I'm certain we're fucked.

SHIVASHIVASHIVA ago

This is why the constitution requires the citizens to be armed at the same level or better than the government itself, to overthrow a corrupt and tyrannical state, govern yourselves accordingly.

Dungles ago

That's why no one is talking about it.

MaunaLoona ago

Another word for bipartisan support is collusion between the parties with disregard for their constituents.

ShinyVoater ago

It gets talked about every now and again, but mostly it's supportive. The terrifying parts are all based on the consequences, not the literal wording, so it makes it harder to attack.

Crensch ago

CALM YOUR TITS

Hijacking high-ranked comment for visibility.

How the hell is this not all over the news? Oh.

It will be after it passes. They don't want the masses questioning it like sopa/pipa.

TheonGreyjoy ago

Remember ICAAN being sold off, how it was too late for anyone to act on it? Same thing is happening here.

bdmthrfkr ago

This is a stab in the back to all American citizens, Americans invented the WWW but for some reason have to give up control of it to unknown and potentially malicious parties. Now that the International problem is sorted they are moving on the pesky 1st Amendment as well right here at home.

I fucking hate these people.

auggs ago

Because meta drama has blasted the front page all weekend. Im an idiot for not picking up on a larger motive. Thought it was strange to fuss about a small subverse

PsyOp ago

Thanks for posting this tableau of all the Jews who work for npr. We need to expose all media companies in this way.

letsgoallthewhey ago

There's another one floating around about CNN. The chart looks pretty much the same.

PsyOp ago

All the ones that I've seen are The New York Times, CNN, NPR, and NBC. It looks to me like the same person is doing them. Let us pray that they keep doing them!

bdmthrfkr ago

I wish it was just NPR.

PsyOp ago

I wish that too...but it ain't, it's every last one of them. The question that needs an answer is where were the FBI, CIA, NSA, FCC, etc., while they were taking control of our media?

voltronsdicks ago

Why are we always scurrying around and playing whack-a-mole every time a new bill comes up instead of taking proactive steps to fight censorship? We shouldn't be going after the bills. We should be focusing on the dangerous leaders who believed that censorship is the answer to the fucked-up Society they've created.

hafen ago

Politics are important, but I'd also be interested in tech that helps resist censorship in spite of it.

albatrosv15 ago

And trumptard again, who can't see that trump is surrounded by kiketry.

Niggertown ago

Expecting ZOG nigger Trump to help. LOL.

It was his little FCC minion that destroyed Net Neutrality.

facetumor ago

If you took what they were calling "net neutrality" at face value, then you need to get the fuck off reddit

cm18 ago

Attrition. Those that want more and more control are working to exhaust us. They conserve their energy by knowledge of group psychology and having lots of resources to experiment till with. Those of us paying attention are can only do so much, and the rest of the public are to busy trying to keep their homes and jobs to fight this crap.

voltronsdicks ago

The idea is good but the execution is shitty and not well thought-out. It needs more round table discussion for sure. there's still too much room for abuse of power.

MESHNET ago

Once the system is running, it's autonomous. This idea is bulletproof. If you don't see that possibility, you didn't understand or possibly misread something in the post. Find a hole and I will show you how the system as described will plug it.

voltronsdicks ago

No the problem is you misunderstand human nature. your post implies that people are just going to naturally cooperate and facilitate this freedom. If history has taught us anything it's that humans are always the weak link in the equation.

MarcusA ago

Why do you think there was a school shooting last week???

voltronsdicks ago

You forgot your point

Breivik ago

You already know the solution. I can't work out of my jail cell. But you can.

Uncle_Tractor ago

You're not allowed online from you cell, Mr. Fjotolf Hansen. Now be a good little loser and cry about how awful your life is.

Breivik ago

I am allowed, how else would i be posting? Are you angry at me for some reason?

Uncle_Tractor ago

Sint på deg? Nei, du er en tilfeldig anon som vil ha folk til å tro du er en barnemorder. Trist.

Breivik ago

Politiske aktivister er ikke barn: https://imgoat.com/uploads/613985ec49/89065.jpg

Du er en tilfeldig anon som vil ha folk til å tro du er en Tractor. Trist.

Uncle_Tractor ago

15-18 -åringer, nei, ok; ikke barn, tenåringer. Hva slags politisk aktivisme var det de drev med som gjorde at de fortjente å bli drept av den taperen? Veive med noen skilt ute på en øy?

Breivik ago

Se bilde. Gammel nok til å være politisk aktivist = gammel nok til å være et mål for politisk mord. Norge er for nords. Alle andre vil bli fjernet på noen måte nødvendig.

Uncle_Tractor ago

Se liste:

https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_over_personer_som_døde_i_terrorangrepet_i_Norge_2011

De som ble drept av helten din (på utøya) var 17-18 år. Igjen; hva var det de drev med som gjorde dem fortjent til å bli drept? Si ting du ikke var enig i? Hva med de som er uenige med deg? Har de rett til å komme etter deg med skytevåpen?

Breivik ago

Betyr alderen så mye? Ville det vært annerledes hvis de var 25 år gammel?

Mitt bilde forklarte hvem de var og hvorfor de måtte dø. Det går utover "uenig" med meg. Hvis du ikke forstår hvor farlig de er og hvor ødeleggende de vil være til vårt land i det lange løp ... så kan jeg ikke hjelpe deg videre, og vil avslutte denne diskusjonen.

Jeg ønsker deg lykke i de kommende løpskrigene over hele Europa og håper at søstrene / døtre ikke blir voldtatt av dyrene som ble sluppet inn i Europa.

Unnskyld meg nå, jeg har fengselsforhold til å delta på.

Uncle_Tractor ago

"Policial muslim"? Hva er det for sproyt? Nei, bildet ditt forklarte ingen ting, annet enn at du er en terrorist-sympatisør. Det er ikke nok å skrive "muslim" og "islamist" under et bilde for å rettferdiggjøre det den taperen gjorde.

Breivik ago

Alt og alt som ikke er europeisk, må utryddes fra Europa.

Men du er åpenbart uenig med dette. Kanskje du ikke er for ren selv?

Uncle_Tractor ago

Den vestlige / europeiske sivilisasjonen er basert på verdiene fra opplysningstiden. De verdiene er det som skiller sivilisasjon og barabari. Dine verdier ligner mer på verdiene til Merkels migranter, til barbarstatene i midtøsten.

Man kan nesten lure på om du i det hele tatt har noe å gjøre her i Europa.

ShitWeasel ago

You aren't Breivik. Faggot.

Dereliction ago

Why are we always scurrying around and playing whack-a-mole every time a new bill comes up instead of taking proactive steps to fight censorship?

Because almost no one represents our interests in government.

FuckYourSafespace ago

Dual citizenship with Israel. It needs to be stopped. 1488.

dooob ago

Except Paul Nehlen.

goat-ditarod ago

The bulk of the people think the people that represent them are looking out for their best interest. Far from the truth.

Radippo ago

If people thought that there would be more voters. Most people are very cynical, they just don't dwell on it.

Tallest_Skil ago

Because no one represents our interests in government.

Fixed.

22jam22 ago

Almost id say you are grosly understatinf how little to no representstion we have while jews, banks and coporate america have 99.9 percent of the control. Im not sure what you would call our current goverment but its not a democracy.

immatureusername ago

It is called a Kleptocracy.

3dk ago

Oligarchy with some democracy.

thatguyiam ago

Its not democracy. Its only democracy when we're dealing with pleb on pleb matters. With regards to plebs vs rich, its another ballgame.

lemon11 ago

That's a given. It's more that the Constitution is not in effect to restrain government.

literallyoprah ago

our interests in government.

Because most functional adult human's are Nazi-LARP Pedophiles who got banned from reddit for being so sub-human, even reddit won't tolerate their bullshit.

Expecting a politician to represent Voaters is a fools errand because politicians talk to people and leave their basements.

Schreiber ago

Just stop.

Who's the NAZI here really?

Last I checked it was a bunch of leftards who prevented jews like Milo and Shapiro from giving a fucking speech in school.

If you are not an anti-semitic NAZI you should be supporting jews like Stephen Miller or the Kushners for being jews who didn't ask for white genocide everyday.

But nah, all you care about is white genocide. You just call everybody NAZI if they don't agree with your genocide agenda. But we like traditional culture, and we will never stop until everybody who wants "progress" get purged from the society.

literallyoprah ago

But we like traditional culture

I didn't realize it was "traditional" to furiously masturbate to the idea of an ethnostate you are incapable of contributing value to. I would be worried about you raping a 15 year old and spawning a child, but thankfully you are probably so genetically damaged, the baby would melt into a puddle as soon as it hit air.

we will never stop until everybody who wants "progress" get purged from the society.

This would be much more concerning if you weren't clearly a low value, fat beta incel who never leaves his mom's basement.

You're a faggot pussy and you won't do shit. You will be replaced.

Schreiber ago

low value, fat beta incel who never leaves his mom's basement.

Dude, those kinds of people all vote left! Soy boys are literally the poster child for leftist. Look at the fucking world leaders. Progressives are beta soyboys like Trudeau, conservatives are manly like Trump or Putin.

Just use your fucking brain for a sec. These people are non-functioning members of the society and therefore would depend on welfare eventually. And welfare is a leftist policy lmao.

It's funny when you use ad hominem to attack conservatives using "traits" commonly found in leftists.

Normal people who have family and need to pay tax would all logically vote right. But of course you are too dumb to realize that, because you are a dependent beta incel living off gibsmedats.

literallyoprah ago

Normal people who have family and need to pay tax

So why are you voting right incel? Did you marry you animu body pillow? Again, you are low value and if society was a meritocracy, you would be used for fertilizer.

Schreiber ago

just ad hominem attack from negative ccp beta incel lmao.

Libtards like you really need to be purged from earth.

literallyoprah ago

Libtards like you really need to be purged from earth.

And again: you won;t do shit pussy.

You will be replaced :)

Schreiber ago

You're the pathetic pussy beta incel soyboy.

literallyoprah ago

Nice projection there cuck. Incel status confirmed.

Schreiber ago

you're the one who wants to bring harm to me. You just won't do anything about it

That's because I have no idea where you live, you weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck.

I hit the gym 3 times a week, vegan for 10 years, full time tenured teaching gig with pension and benefits, and all the pussy I can smash more or less whenever I want it

Nice fantasy. Bet you copy pasted that from some online blog.

On my days off, I volunteer to do STEM outreach for inner city youth.

Yeah, right. I bet you're in prison parole and living off welfare your whole life. How did you end up in prison again? Raping your sister?

I'm a better person than you.

Said the weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck.

literallyoprah ago

That's because I have no idea where you live, you weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck.

Wow, big internet tough guy right here, lol. Fucking pussy.

Nice fantasy.

I like that you think it's a fantasy, like having a job and connecting with women is something magical. Incel status further confirmed.

Yeah, right. I bet you're in prison parole and living off welfare your whole life. Nice try though.

I would claim projection, but you are far to much of a pussy to ever commit a crime, or even say something edgy to anything darker than Italian,

Said the weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck.

If this was true, I would still be a better person than you.

Schreiber ago

You're just weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck calling random stranger on the internet weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck. You're a fucking sad incel who have no life.

What a pathetic existence.

literallyoprah ago

You're just weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck calling random stranger on the internet weak, pathetic, soy-boi cuck. You're a fucking sad incel who have no life.

That's not even projection, now you're straight up defining the evidence of incel status and calling yourself incel. Are you okay? I think I may have triggered you too hard, snowflake.

I;m sorry I hit a nerve with the incel comment. You would feel better if you got fucked, but we both know that;s basically impossible for you/

You know what's even more pathetic? Nobody even likes you online. To even get negative ccp on voat, you would really need to have an extremely shitty personality.

Having positive CCP on Voat is like getting an endorsement from NAMBLA. I don't want you to like me. I'm better than you.

Schreiber ago

^wow, you're such a talkative soy-boi incel. I can't even be bothered to read wall of texts written by a libtard failure like you.

I'm done with ya. Have a bad day.

literallyoprah ago

Yay, I win!

Suck it!

Schreiber ago

Oh, just shut the fuck up already you pathetic soy-boi incel!

IiteraIIyoprah ago

Wow, I really hit a nerve by calling you an incel, didn't I?

Guess that means I won!

I was the one hitting a nerve by calling you an incel.

Don't project to hard. You'll end up hurting your own feelings.

It's called a rhetorical question.
