re: Gavin Newsom has banned political ’memes’ in California.

If only we had a list of rights that we could refer to

Exactly. You would think that would be the first thing in a such Bill of Rights.

quote:

---

I give objective analysis, not subjective commentary.

---

Sigh. Do you really think you can claim to be unbiased in your analysis of the political landscape and then in the same thread say something like this:

quote:

---

Giving analysis that doesn't agree with the hive mind isn't giving subjective stances, no matter how much MAGA melts about it. Just because your chosen echo chamber content creators are often misleading and telling you incorrect things doesn't mean telling you what reality is involves some subjective stance on the issue presented. It's a big problem with MAGA NPCs suffering from partisan/echo chamber brain rot.

or this:

quote:

---

The problem is I didn't. When I give objective analysis there is no subjective personal opinion involved, no matter how much it makes people melt down and lie to accuse me of doing so by either implication or idiotic interpretation

---

while never attacking the Left with such vitriol?

the fact is that we ALL think our opinions are objective. the difference is that most of us are also smart enough to realize that we are humans, and we understand human nature enough to acknowledge that we all have biases and that it's virtually impossible to give an objective analysis on ANYTHING, let alone something like politics in which we all clearly have a great interest.

you seem to truly believe that you, and you alone, are so far above the fray on this board that you are the one arbiter of objective truth which really, ironically, displays the exact opposite - that your lack of ability to be self-aware and your thinking is actually even more demented than the average poster here.

No it's pretty simple. Your bias requires whataboutism. You are having problems because I did not engage in your bias, and you're telling me I should conform with that bias.

---

No. My original point is that the hive mind, echo chamber phenomenon has actually been engineered to occur via social media, search engine algorithms, etc. and is a problem across the board.

That’s the important underlying point.

You think it’s a MAGA issue because you are an emotional mess and somehow get validation by posting on a board and getting 50:1 downvote ratios.

It is what it is.

As I said, the video Newsome is upset over someone wrote a script then used an AI voice generator to make it sound like Kamala. How is that any different than Hollywood writing a script and doing the same? Both are protected works.

---

The difference is that you have an actor saying the words of the script. That's a tactile production.

With AI, you create a non-tactile output. What makes it complicated is what I referenced earlier:

quote:

---

You can get into this sort of discussion for all the curated parts (the video, speech, etc.) of the output.

---

Humanity has never been in a position where certain parts of an output are genuine (here, the script) and others are created by non-humans (the total output).

quote:

---

Does it?

---

Yes. If you can be sued for speech, the 1A doesn't apply to that speech. NY Times v. Sullivan is written specifically with reference to the 1st Amendment.

Civil liability is the first "chip" in the blanket 1A protection.

It's a legitimate question.

Where did I say I supported this law?

That’s the hilarious part. You think this is accurate.

He says, without evidence to support his arguments.

“That’s how easy it is to govern”



He just made a meme of himself.







That’s

He’s embarrassed by his upbringing.

Your psychological analysis is as good as your ability to support your arguments.

No doubt! You have to wonder about this guy.
Undoubtedly, he knows he can't enforce this so why even go thru this exercise when he's going to lose?
He should be telling the public that free speech is a Good given right and government can't take it away, so folks should grow thicker skin.

Remember, he was all for reparations right up until the moment the state was going to have to pay for it. Then, "Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments".

It's a legitimate question.

If you think you haven’t taken a position on this I’ll assume that you struggle making friends and (assuming you’ve been married) that you’ve gone through a divorce.
