|gained a friendly ally in the Americas, an alternate source of

|Bolsonaro was throwing a tantrum somewhere in Florida at this point,
|and refused to hand over the presidential sash(?) as is protocol. So
|she had a bunch of regular people from all walks of life escort Lula
|to the stage, and the sash was placed on his shoulders by a *black

|people and to protect their democracy. Because the people who
|would abuse that kind of power can just do it even if that power
|wasn't allowed. Fascists don't give a fuck about laws. The US

|> However is it a good idea if governments can control what’s
|considered misinformation? That is always ultimately the case, the
|courts (and thus the state) get to decide what is truth for example in
|defamation cases and in free speech cases. For example in the
|foundational case of establishing free speech limitations the SC
|pointed out that it is not free speech to yell "fire!" in a crowded
|theater, that is a crime, obviously it is not a crime if it is true
|though. Personally I don't think "fire!" in a crowded theater and
|"vaccines cause autism" deserve different treatment under the law.

|I'm not going to defend Elon's views since I disagree with a lot

|created a financial services company that merged with another
|company to create paypal. To call that a shit businessman is
|blatant ignorance, his first billion was through his own merit and

|read. It's also really disingenuous to say he's an opportunist who
|exploited electric cars. I suppose if you're young and weren't
|around in the early 2000s you wouldn't understand that no one else
