Voter fraud happened. There's video evidence of it occurring in State Farm Arena in Fulton County, GA. There's forensic evidence of 70% failure rates on voting machines in Antirim County, Michigan. There's 1000+ witness affidavits signed and presented under the penalty of perjury in various legislatures around the country. There's also statistical fraud detection algorithms that have numerous red flags with regards t…

State Farm Arena video doesn’t show fraud to any reasonable degree, at the absolute best it’s an irregularity. The Antirim report is massively flawed, written by an ‘expert’ with no credibility who used Minnesota counties to ‘prove’ Michigan fraud. Hand waving at ‘affidavits’ is not evidence. The statistics arguments don’t stand scrutiny when known limitations like sample size, turnout volatility and count completion…

No, the Antirim report had nothing to do with Minnesota. It was ordered by a judge. It was a forensic audit of physical machines from Antirim County: https://uncoverdc.com/2020/12/14/antrim-county-forensic-repo...

“The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud.” Based on the study, the group concluded that the machines should not be used in Michigan nor should the election results in Antrim County be certified.

In this county, the vote was actually corrected. And knowing these machines were capable of 70% error rates should have triggered a full statewide forensic audit in Michigan at the least.

Heres the surveillance footage of 30K suitcase ballots with absolutely no chain of custody after the entire building was shut down and all poll watchers kicked out on the basis of a bullshit water pipe leak story, being counted between 11pm and 1am the night of the election: https://rumble.com/vblh33-attorney-jackie-pick-exposes-georg...

At any rate, it's not a hunch. It's a fact. The election was stolen. We live in a banana republic.

I definitely support the notion of moving from platforms to protocols, at least in theory. I do think you're going to run into the need to regulate wherever communication starts impinging on not-purely-informational constructs, like securities. I really hope that gambling on GME is not a "major part" of a significant number of people's lives.

I was thinking more about being able to trade online, not GME specifically. TBH 'protocols not platforms' has become kind of a slogan lately, but history doesn't make it look too promising. Email is a protocol, but it has largely been dominated by Google. A really compelling product can capture a protocol.

>but it has largely been dominated by Google.

Maybe anecdotal every company in my experience is on Office 365. Most private people here have hotmail/outlook as they where first before gmail.

That doesn't quite work. I'm not a stamp collector. Does that mean I lack a stamp collection, or do I have a collection of a lack of stamps? If I am asymptomatic, is there a lack of symptoms, or is my symptom the lack thereof?

If you believe stamp collectors are the source of all evil in the world, and congregate with other anti-stamp collectors to share your common struggle, maybe. It's one thing to not believe in unicorns, it's another to define yourself in opposition to unicorn believers, which many atheists do.

That's a good point, and I think it points out the fundamental misunderstanding in the comment I was replying to: conflation of atheism with radical atheism, particularly New Atheism.

You are stamp agnostic and symptomatic does not imply belief. Can we get back to talking about stonks now?

I don't believe in stonks either :)

You have stated no less than three completely incorrect and unprovable statements that are contradicted directly by the facts.

1. The Antirim report was conducted by Russell James Ramsland who is the exact same non-expert person who mixed up Minnesota and Michigan. So, yes it does have something to do with it.

2. The report was not ordered by a judge, it was permitted. The distinction matters, because suggesting the judge 'ordered it' implies that it was some sort of impartial inquiry, instead of just another hack job by someone who wanted Trump to win.

3. The surveillance footage and the water pipe events happened on different nights, 17 hours apart.

That's just purely on the basis of facts that even aren't up for argument. There's much more to disagree with when further analyzing your claims, and while I'd be happy to go over them, I don't feel like a deep comment on an old news story is the best place for me to spend my time.

That your three main points contain full on factual misstatements should give you enough pause to reconsider the certainty of your conclusion.

> My hope is that this will drive a reformist movement around digital rights (speech, commerce, etc.) As well as a movement from platforms to protocols. I don’t have much hope for this, mainly because being the owner of a platform is much more profitable than being one of many protocol end points. Look at git. It is hard to think of a more open protocol, and yet GitHub absolutely dominates and it is a big deal if the…

You are using the term "deplatform" completely wrong. None of the things you mention are platforms. Mail is not a platform. Roads are not a platform. Electricity, water and gas are not platforms. These are all examples of point to point connection. None of them allow you to reach millions of people unfederated. If you start sending out illegal hate mail to millions of people, you bet you'll be "deplatformed" by the U…

If we're going to be picky, they used the word "platform" as a verb, not a noun. Actually they used the negative, "deplatform"... maybe we could claim they used the wrong verb. I think they were trying to make the argument that high tech sector is finally providing services that are clearly in the public's interest and could/should be treated like utilities. I think they're right - the government should get involved in balancing the scales between service provider and users.

Its amazing how all the power structure in the US was on the right (the Presidency, Senate, Supreme Court, Federal Courts, Appellate Courts), but somehow the left was able to perform one of the most coordinated acts of voter fraud in history. And not only that, performed the same fraud in the polls leading up to the election too. If the left is this good at such a grand conspiracy, then they really should run the cou…

Yes, well that's exactly what happens in socialist countries like Venezuela. It's not some theoretical formula for maintaining power that has never been tried before. Rigging and corruption is the rule not the exception, in human history. We don't have the federal courts, not in the least. It's just fraud. The FBI would rather investigate Twitter shitposters than touch this. They'd rather get jobs at CNN as consultan…

Again, the maintenance of rigging and corruption by the party being disenfranchised is NOT the rule.

It’s weird how almost every post you’ve done has been filled with factually wrong data, eg, the federal courts. But it helps explain why on less factual matters your bias so is severe. The sad part is I think you have no idea about your bias and actually believe what you’re writing.

To be fair, terminology now is really confusing. I'm still trying to figure out what is anti-fascist about antifa or that really has anything to do with their existence.

> what is anti-fascist about antifa Antifa is an anarchist direct action movement that tries to deny Fascist groups the ability to organize by basically beating the crap out of them when they try to get together. "Fascist" isn't a synonym for "politics I don't like".

Sure, that's the textbook definition. But when I see them beating up folks, I don't necessarily see any evidence the recipients are fascists at all. So what do you call a group of people that unilaterally decide other people are fascists and then beat them up without any kind of due process, all in order to keep them from being able to "get together" and raise their voice? Authoritarian?
