To their credit, that is the top comment in the thread.

In communist China citizens are forbidden from criticizing the government.

I was thinking about this too and it’s like unless you’re using the same username/password on here as your bank, the worst that could happen is they hijack a power poster’s reputation on here and use it to influence people in some kind of negative way, which is a lot of effort for what actual benefit and also why we shouldn’t have power posters.

The admins were admonishing people to use a proton mail email to setup 2fa on here and I don’t really understand the benefit. This single-use email just becomes the SPOF instead of chapo chat so what’s the difference? I don’t use an email.

Chapo: Use protonmail to sign up, browse using a VPN, assume everyone is a fed including the admins

Parler: Give us your SSN and driver's license photo lmao

I don't know how it's possible to believe in toxic masculinity and also unironically believe men are literally all incurably innately bad. Toxic masculinity implies the existence of nontoxic masculinity. It implies that our societal concept of manhood is damaging, and hurts everyone - men and woman and nb people - and that we need to take steps to change it. I see this "yes all men are evil" stuff as just venting, and it doesn't hurt me when people say it because it doesn't really affect me, and I believe that the people saying it have things they're totally justified in venting about, but like in this conversation, it clearly hurts other people.

It's so hard to convince libs you can't just write off most people on the planet as irredeemable if you're going to have a functional society. It's an incredibly reactionary point of view.

They asked when I went. They didn't use the words "jury nullification" but they asked if anyone in the room would be unwilling to convict if they were convinced someone violated a law that they didn't agree should be a law (giving a stupid example of "making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich").
