This is not a political appointment, but if you have mentioned something even mildly negative about a certain person in the past, not only we'll walk you out, we'll probably arrest you!


Also, try not to be brown.



So hypothetically, a future Dem administration can deport right-leaning visa holders?


Yes, and you can come back here and see all the comments that either say its justified in this case. Or, comments will state that the other side did it first.

I'll remove my comment if a clear case exists that is not generally celebrating it here.


You make it sound like you get to be the decider on whether the specific case is comparable or not.

Also note that in order to remove your comment, a clear case would have to exist in the first place.

> comments will state that the other side did it first.

That is exactly the excuse they are using for a lot of this type of sick behavior/policy, despite the examples being weak.


There's actually a word for it - jawboning


Don't be naive. There was no jawboning from the previous administration to networks to cancel someone -- especially someone who always made fun of the President.

However, this is a a classic example of violation of 1A. (I agree that the thing that was probably in the grey area was they asked Twitter to remove certain COVID-19 medical disinformation tweets -- But, come on, many people were consuming horse dewormers for COVID and dying. )

The right's cancel culture is a violation of constitution because it's the government that's doing the cancelling.


Ignoring or at least dismissing the similar acts on the left highlights the reason that a third party is necessary.

It’s clear Trump is attempting to capture the institution, and I’m not equivocating, but this has been an escalating ping pong back and forth over the last two decades.

I’d rather live in a unified country. Unity comes from breaking out of the polarization

xAIs prompts are open?! Wow that's pretty impressive.


In the same sense that DOGE's receipts are open.

They publish something that looks good, and the reality is something else.


So they don't actually publish the correct prompts, and are just lying? Do you have a source for that?


A "rogue employee" [1] at xAI recently tweaked the prompts to make Grok talk about "white genocide" in South Africa in response to completely unrelated queries:

These modifications didn't seem to get reflected in the published xAI prompts.

Wilhoit's Law: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.


FYI (for OP): check this fork out https://github.com/usagi-flow/evil-helix


It's a soft fork trying to catch up with the main codebase. It feels like a second class citizen. Features introduced in Helix might not be intended for usage with vim keybindings anyway.


It is fascinating. He lies so much, keeps repeating those lies and somehow people start believing those lies.


If you are ungrounded from the news, don't make smartass comments like "Nobody is going to deport citizens. You seem to have become ungrounded in your reality."


I’ll take a bet with you on that. Nobody is going to deport citizens.
