Good job taking the Boston Herald's word for it all.
Good job taking the Boston Herald's word for it all.So, a killer wrote a 180 page "screed" (which I can't find anywhere, and I'd like to read it, so I could know what the hell the guy was writing, rather than rely on the media to tell me what they think it says), and so NY Governor Hochul thinks that nobody should be allowed to talk about "replacement theory."
Buffalo shooting spurs Gov. Hochul to call for crackdown of social media: ‘instruments of evil’

All we apparently get to know, though, is that the 180 pages consisted of racist memes and slurs, and that he repeatedly talked about "the great replacement" or something. We don't get to read it ourselves now. And, now Hochul wants to make it illegal to refer to any "replacement," which, of course, to Democrats means that nobody should be able to say that illegal immigration is a problem because it's changing American demographics quickly and unsustainably. If you say that, then it's a form of "replacement theory."
One can already see where this is going. They'll take a psycho's "manifesto" of a seriously mentally ill person who shot people in a tragic and horrid incident, and they'll overlay that on anything "conservative" or "right wing" (which nowadays is anything right of Mao, and that will be called "hate speech" which must be censored from the internet, lest someone act violently.
Well, I didn't see the governor say that the state should limit anyone's speech or criminalize any form of speech. She expressed an opinion on what private entities can and should do. They can choose to follow her suggestions or not. None of that is a violation of the 1A.So, a killer wrote a 180 page "screed" (which I can't find anywhere, and I'd like to read it, so I could know what the hell the guy was writing, rather than rely on the media to tell me what they think it says), and so NY Governor Hochul thinks that nobody should be allowed to talk about "replacement theory."

Twas I. It was very difficult to find.

I think social media is separate from free speech. I do not think an organization should be forced to host videos of mass shootings and those shooters manifestos.
The idea that immigrants are replacing us is racist. Who is us? Obviously he means White people. He says they are destroying our (White) culture. He claims they are "destroying America". That American voters are being replaced with "foreign" invader voters.I've been through all that. He's not said anything racist. What he's saying in every clip is that this is a strategy used by the Democrats - the Democrats like bringing in folks who they think will eventually be new Democrats. And, from what I see, that does appear to be why the Democrats love the open borders.
The links you posted are just opinion pieces from the Left which try to cherry pick and take out of context Carlson's comments.
That's right.Don't say gay!
You can criticize his solution, but I think we have to recognize there is an issue. This shooter and many others have explicitly said they were radicalized to act by seeing the actions of other shooters on social media. He wanted to radicalize more people and that's why he streamed it on Twitch. He lays out all this in his manifesto. His radicalization through far right memes and prior mass shooters, how he tried to emulated them, and how he acted how he did to try to inspire more people in the same way he was.
So she called on social media to crack down...that's it?So, a killer wrote a 180 page "screed" (which I can't find anywhere, and I'd like to read it, so I could know what the hell the guy was writing, rather than rely on the media to tell me what they think it says), and so NY Governor Hochul thinks that nobody should be allowed to talk about "replacement theory."

I would say that is pretty racist. Many immigrants are very conservative and Christian who only skew Dem because the GOP so openly hates them. Some still vote red anyway, like Cubans.
If the Great Replacement theory isn't racist then what Carlson said isn't racist. But it's racist at the core, and everyone knows it. Or maybe you could call it non-racist white nationalism, which is just white supremacy. Or bigotry. Pick your term. It all means the same thing - be afraid of the brown people and the black people. Only whites should be able to vote and rule this great nation, etc.I've been through all that. He's not said anything racist.

How cute a dishonest meme, remind us how the Indians came to the America's or ever owned land

It looks like we're just a few months from the GOP openly becoming the Dixiecrats in all but name who will openly embrace white supremacy as their core value. We're virtually there now - the gaslighting is obvious to everyone. The embrace of Carlson by the MAGAs is all we need to know.
Where the government twists private entities' arms to limit free speech then it's a problem. I agree with your point that as of now, nothing has been done to violate the 1A. But it's always a concern when a Governor tries to tell us what we should and shouldn't be permitted to say in public.Well, I didn't see the governor say that the state should limit anyone's speech or criminalize any form of speech. She expressed an opinion on what private entities can and should do. They can choose to follow her suggestions or not. None of that is a violation of the 1A.
I'm not going to test the notion, but I doubt if you or I started promoting the Great Replacement theory that we'd remain on DP. Is that a violation of free speech because the Gov. agrees with the moderators on DP?
It is easier to pretend it is an individual problem caused by mental illness and not a ideological attack driven by political motivations. Because then it is a systemic problem and we have to do something about it.The shooter is always psychotic when he makes somebody look bad.
He can never just be evil.
It's odd that the folks to spread such memes live here, too, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to move out. LOLHow cute a dishonest meme, remind us how the Indians came to the America's or ever owned land
Perhaps..... Do we let radical Islamists, terrorists, have free run of our social media? Should we? That's free speech.This stuff is incredibly racist. That said the governor is encouraging the suppression of free speech
He could be both. His manifesto sounds like he's suffering from a serious break from reality, though.The shooter is always psychotic when he makes somebody look bad.

Which is what you have to say.He could be both. His manifesto sounds like he's suffering from a serious break from reality, though.
One could say her statements are a form of pressure from an agent of the governmentWhere the government twists private entities' arms to limit free speech then it's a problem.

Sure, DP could ban me for talking about the great replacement theory, but it would be disappointing if it did. We should be able to have a thread here talking about what the various theories are, who espouses them, what they're based on, etc. We are not obligated to, and ought not be obligated to, take orders from the governor about what we should be able to talk about. And, she may call it hate speech, but that's her own view of it. She's entitled to it. But hate speech is protected speech.
Short term memory issues? You literally just described it as a "screed."So, a killer wrote a 180 page "screed" (which I can't find anywhere, and I'd like to read it, so I could know what the hell the guy was writing,
Silence your critics eh?YES! YES! YES!
It is time to update the First Amendment.
No one should be allowed to talk about the Replacement Theory.
No one should be allowed to talk about CRT, either.
The (nominal) President's new disinformation czaress should have the authority to censor any topic that deals with ethnicity.
