> ... significant economic coercision meets my definition of force Military members are vaccinated against a myriad of illnesses right after joining . They are also required to follow a bunch of rules, some of which severely restrict the practice of their first amendment rights. They weren't "forced", as much as they have to agree with the DoD rules to work for them.

We should at least acknowledge the "trolley" problem here. You have two bad choices: join the marines or live in poverty. The US has a "volunteer" force but "volunteer" is a stretched euphemism in my mind. There aren't many people with options "volunteering" for the marines. Obligatory "I'm pro vaccine".

Marines are the most prestigious branch of the military, by a huge margin. Plenty of people willingly join the Marines, specifically because they know they get to spend the rest of their life saying they're a Marine and with that comes (near universal) respect.

The fact that the military lifts people out of poverty is a great thing. It's a damned hard life being in the military, especially if you make a career out of it. But four years of service with a decent shot at an education and solid employment when you get out is a fair trade.

Lol. Have you been in a news blackout for the last year? Denying it at this point is equivalent to being a flat earther or something. Read the Twitter Files from Tabibi, Weiss, Shellenberger etc. The evidence is all there.

don't you mean the X Files? It certainly fits, a show all about fictionalized conspiracies

So all those twitter and government agencies that sent emails saying they were doing it were.. what? Cosplaying and writing fictional emails for LOLs?

You are providing examples that support your claim but ignoring the mountain of evidence (countless actual twitter posts) that contradict your claim. There's evidence for lot of things and clever rhetoric can make that evidence sing and dance however you'd like it to. But what rational people demand is an honest accounting of all of the evidence, not just the narrow slice that lets you craft fairy tales you find useful.

Okay, but this is still an implied accusation with zero evidence. Surely losing the "benefit of the doubt" doesn't mean you can just make up any story you want about someone and use that to demonize them until there's definitive proof your accusation is wrong?

Life is not just this or that. Life is also highly likely this or likely that. When you have a track record and make a lot of people have this image about you, many people will operate on highly likely’s or likely’s about you. Musk is no exception.

And who is the arbiter of what’s highly likely? You? I? Jumping to conclusions without evidence is lynch mentality. But maybe people are ok with that.

> To date, not a single document revealed has shown what people now falsely believe: that the US government and Twitter were working together to “censor” people based on their political viewpoints. Literally none of that has been shown at all. Instead, what’s been shown is that Twitter had a competent trust & safety team that debated tough questions around how to apply policies for users on their platform and did not seem at all politically motivated in their decisions.

Citation(s) given. [0] The Hunter Biden laptop story [1] was censored on Twitter and The NY Post had their accounts locked over the story and the Twitter CEO at the time admitted that it was a 'mistake'.

EDIT: So there you have it.

Even when I have given citations and substantiated them with links, I still get censored for it for no reason because it is true. Of course.

Cannot begin to even reason with the folks here who cannot handle the facts and citations given at all.

I’m surprised when I see people uncritically repeating the claim that Twitter now aims for “free speech.” It’s clear that was never true and always meant “Speech Elon wants to allow.”

I'm surprised when I see a comment ascribing this to Elon deleting things upvoted higher than the comments that explain this is a normal part of how Community Notes work for so-so notes.

People who wanted to keep their job, friends and family. It's disgusting.

I'm forced to wear pants in public at all times. If I showed up to Thanksgiving with no pants, they'd ask me to leave and id never get invited again. Tyranny ! Everyone should be free to endanger everyone around them with a deadly crippling virus at all times.

The vaccine didn't stop transmission though so being vaccinated made no difference as to whether you were "endangering people" (you weren't, mostly) with a "deadly" (not unless morbidly obese or with other serious health issues) "crippling" (still unconfirmed) virus.
