They weren't implementing "government censorship regulation". They were trying to ensure the different views on speech in their own countries are respected and conformed to.

This is a clear example of global operators running up against the natural friction of conflicting national customs and laws.

It's a particularly knotty issue in the intuitively borderless and passionate medium of internet speech and won't be helped by regulators or commenters here ignoring that.

I presume you’re referring to something specific there. What is it?

He's so inconsequential it hurts that the US made him this relevant. If he pops up again in national politics I'll blame the US.

I wish.

People usually call separation of power that the people that

    * apply the law to cases (judges)
    * execute these decisions (police)
    * decide what the law is (politicians)

My daydream you've cited there would not be in violation of this, and I struggle to see how you would think it is.

You're surely aware that such a court already exists in all democratic nations I'm aware of and can slash down these passed laws already/force amendments to be made for it to take effect, yes?

Or did you take offense how I didn't write a 10 page document outlining how this could be legally implemented in a specific country?

The way I see it, if they don't want to be called fascists then they need to find a new label that accurately describes their desired goals. As long as they keep hiding behind this preposterous cloak of "conservative" to cover for an extremely radical agenda, I will use the label "fascist" as it seems to be the most-fitting existing term.

Alternatively they can explain how their agenda differs from fascism, rather than most arguments being of the form that <fascist dynamic> is required due to <some perceived emergency>.

If Turmp was that much of a planner, he could have easily had a second term in 2020 by simply acknowledging Covid as a problem and actually leading the country. I don't think he himself has any real plan. He's just fucking aggro-demented [0] lashing out at his lifetime of grievances and trauma. Some trafficked Venezuelan girl probably didn't smile enough as he was about to use her or something. I'm sure the people around him all have their larger plans though.

[0] anyone that's cared for old people sees the two very different archetypes in "sleepy joe" vs "destructive don"

There is, I just believe that generally people on the left have different viewpoint on this article than people on the right, and that's the main deciding factor.

And whenever that's true, the comments get politically heated without any substantive debate between the sides.

I love to debate with friends on the opposite side than me, but strictly offline where I can learn much more from them.
