Oddbean new post about login | logout This is a worthy 1 topic voter issue. I would also say that if you are a 1 topic voter this time around, it could be to vote against censorship and that would also be a vote for Trump.
lol DJT is not going to save you. if fact he doesn't give a fuck about you or anyone else.
I totally agree. I am not a fan of any of the choices we have for president in the USA. I vote with my money everyday and if need be, I will vote with my feet.
I vote by living off grid, being as self-sufficient and paying as little taxes as possible. And of course using USD as little as possible. Minimalism and active non-cooperation. That's how you free a Ross. And all the other people like him.
I have no confidence that Trump will be against censorship in the necessarily objective way it needs to be. I highly suspect it’ll be based on political lines. Very much like how Republicans instantly supported the banning of TikTok the second cHiNa became the concern.
I don't think you vote for Trump the person, but the set of policies and people around him, and those who would apply a different set of pressures. I think it’s FAR more likely he’ll support free speech for those reasons (not due to any deep understanding or ethical principle necessarily) than the Regime. IMO, Trump vote is a no-brainer — there’s just nothing really to lose compared to the Regime.
I will not be voting for any policy reason because I don’t believe any of it, imo. My point is that the ONLY reason that would even be meaningful is regarding Ross
Sometimes I think something along those lines -- it's all kayfabe, just one giant uniparty, and I wouldn’t be entirely shocked if that turned out to be the case. But 2017-2020 happened, and we weren’t at war, there was no Regime-sponsored censorship and no one was requiring pharmaceutical blood compliance to attend a restaurant. Just don’t see how there’s anything to lose by voting against that, even if it turns out it’s in fact bullshit.
