More than this, by what standard is something blockable and who determines this.
Maybe it just doesn't stop at allegedly hurtful words, Maybe two folks are discussing something political and someone else is offended by these hurtful ideas. I mean, Amazon just banned some books having an alternative Covid 19 narrative, so our isn't out of the realm of possibility..
Like the "undecided voters" who thought Biden won the debate, but some of whom were interviewed by msnbc months ago and said they were voting got Biden.
Or the fact they classify antifa and blm as peaceful protest groups, not hate groups.
It's likely people don't particularly care about the truth. Narratives matter more.
Your attempting to use reason and facts with someone who doesn't care about truth.
Anyone who lauds what happened in the northeast is either ignorant, bordering on negligence and malfeasance. Or they are malicious.
I used to give people the benefit of the doubt, however after 170 days to flatten the curve, (what's a Sweden), i realize that most of this is about control.. And lemmings just generally jump on because it's their team.
It took them a while not to endorse slavery as well.
I'd not look for anything groundbreaking from either party, especially not one where the octogenarian candidate was one of the main persons doing the eulogy for a kkk leader Just last decade.
They're far more likely to be enthralled with democratic groups like antifa or BLM and see how they slap around 70 year old white folks leaving the Republican convention, or how they should surround old ladies having a few drinks on a patio and scream and yell at them until they raise their fist and chant ~~black power~~ err i mean BLM. Or the best one, how anytime a black guy gets shot by the cops it's racism.
Yeh you used to see some horrific shit on nowthatsfuckedup.com, but the kids watching almost anything today, even the news are ironically far more ignorant of science and reality. And what's more, their parents are just as dumb.
But hey, men can be women now so everyone can pretty much say what they want and it's just as true as 2+2=5 or something.
Thinking about them in terms of the mall or a shopping plaza is good. However, you mistakenly compared the app store with the Gap.
The app store is the mall space, numerous apps abound, as do shops. The gap might not sell porn, but Victoria secret, Spencers, Hollywood (nights?? I can't recall) exist in the mall and might not be porn but... Some retail plazas might have an adult section. Best buy or Fry's at one point had adult magazines and videos.
Some retail plazas even have other things progressives and democrats find offensive, like guns and old classic literature. Occasionally you can also find a pawn shop in a retail plaza.
There was a point where you would rent out your mall or retail space to anyone with the money to cover the cost plus a small profit. The decadence, wealth inequality, and unrealistic valuations from government interference have led to a world where it's fairly easy for some to cherry pick who they want renting from them based upon their ideological, political, or racial spectrum or beliefs. The same now occurs in our app stores.
Thankfully hyper capitalism's provided an alternative, Windows, Android, or linux, and pine.
I suppose if you're a socialist you probably don't understand how it all works without a government edict giving you instructions and making sure you and your neighbor have the same marginal product.
However, even without this edict, rest assured that you can make the change without the government allowing you to... Fell free to switch.
Most of the "resurgence" in cases in Texas is from about 3 counties, all in the border, all of them treating individuals crossing the bitter for better treatment.
If course, we could say the rest of the cases are simply from anyone now using the healthcare system who is being automatically tested even if they are being seen for something non covid related.
Of course if you really wanna get in the weeds, you could probably say that the median age for covid is about 36 and the death rate is about .04% for those under 50, well below a seasonal flu. Of course you still have democrat governors letting the bodies hit the floor among elderly nursing home residents. But children who are statistically unaffected by covid remain locked down with their parents, who are also minimally affected.
Here's one for you, take out deaths over 60 and then look at the data.
Better yet.. If you statistically don't want to die, don't be over 70 in a nursing home in a state with a governor who's a Democrat. It's better than a coin flip if you're in that unfortunate category.. odds are high you're toast.
I'll not blow your mind by discussing serology studies, both here and abroad.
And since you enjoy using other countries datas, you should actually look into it.. Multiple countries have already noted that the lockdown are inherently unhelpful. Several countries including Italy, have both serology and fecal matter studies which show the virus is quite prevalent and is far less lethal than was believed, Especially for those younger than 50 with no co-morbidity. They also found that the virus was in fecal matter in early fall 2019, and similar findings have been found in Pennsylvania. We were likely well into the virus in January, long before masks and lockdown became a thing. It's ironic that the elderly and imfirmed are the ones actually at the greatest risk, yet our government solution is to lock down the healthy and young, while totally giving a death sentence to those most vulnerable.
The death count by-day and by-week has been making record setting lows for the past few weeks now, the best since early in the year.
Again, the data gives no fucks about what you want to believe. And no, according to CDC numbers, this hasn't been been even at epidemic levels since early June.
And all those countries you prize so much, all of them are playing sports, with people in the stadiums, even in the UK the PM is under active investigation as to why they stayed locked down for so long when the data doesn't dictate what they were doing was correct..
I'm not trying to smash your beliefs because it's pretty clear you're a true believer and the actual science or data won't persuade you anyway.. But the idea that you would analogize this to something such as the Vietnam war leads me to believe you should've took less classes on basket weaving, gender studies, or most likely psychology, and more in maths.
In fact in NY the nursing homes themselves pleaded with the governor to not force the return of these COVID positive individuals back to the nursing homes. The governor of NY actually scrubbed his order from the state website sending these infected patients from hospitals back to nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
You can use whatever asinine ideas You like to protect your stance on big government. Not enough government wasn't the problem here, the government was essentially sending smallpox blankets into these at risk communities. If those people voted blue or were one of the protected classes, the access media would be all over this.
I think it's close to around 44% by recent numbers.
However, NY recently revised how they are counting these deaths, and they now count them in a way where if the nursing home resident is transferred to the hospital, they are generally not counted as a nursing home death. Up until very recently, they were counting that as a nursing home death the same as every other state in the union.
They've been the only state to make such changes so far, but the governor did make a deal with the nursing homes to limit their liability during this situation as well so this is pretty much par for the course here.
