Part of the problem here is that Parler is funded by Robert Mercer. Robert Mercer was a founder of Cambridge Analytica and funder of Breitbart. I think this one individual has done more to divide America than anyone else (including Trump). And it has been highly profitable for him. There has been no attempt to hold Robert Mercer accountable for his actions. This needs to change. The FBI should dig into his electronic correspondence to see if he had a role in the Capitol Riots. https://www.reuters.com/article/parler-funding-mercer/social-media-platform-parler-gets-backing-from-mercer-family-wsj-idUSKBN27V020Robert Leroy Mercer (born July 11, 1946)[2] is an American hedge fund manager, former principal investor in the now-defunct Cambridge Analytica,[3] computer scientist who was an early artificial intelligence researcher and developer, and former co-CEO of the hedge fund company Renaissance Technologies.[2][4][5] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_MercerEdit: he also supported the Brexit campaign. This guy is dark. Mercer played a key role in the campaign for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union by donating data analytics services to Nigel Farage.[6] To no one’s surprise, he is a racist. Mercer has said that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the landmark federal statute arising from the civil rights movement of the 1960s, was a major mistake. In 2017, David Magerman, a former Renaissance employee, alleged in a lawsuit that Mercer had said that African Americans were economically better off before the civil rights movement, that white racists no longer existed in the United States, and that the only racists remaining were black racists. I think we can solve a lot of these problems and heal America through campaign finance reform. If we stop the firehose of money flowing from billionaires to politicians, we can eliminate much of the corruption. The Democrats control all three arms of government for two years and they have the means to overturn much of the US campaign finance laws. This will fix at least some of the sickness at the source. Unfortunately I have my doubts that they can do it with such a narrow majority, they only need one dissenter. He sounds like a good guy fighting for the freedom of countries and individuals, only a leftie could see that as a bad thing. now, having said that, I thought we all agreed to keep politics out of this thread.

In addition, you only have to go back 10 years before the Brexit vote and find out that in fact the Liberal Democrats wanted an in out referendum as well. Nothing to do with Robert Mercer or Nigel Farage.
Populism made almost all the difference. UK is about to wake up with quite a hangover after the brexit party. That's not true, as a free independent nation they can now make trade deals with the rest of the world instead of just the EU. They will start building a free trade area with just about everyone as soon as they can. And that area will soon be bigger then the EU, mark my words. Remember EFTA, that Austria used to be part of before joining the EEC? That was started by the British.

Or are you saying that only highly educated people should be allowed to vote? Like in the good old days when income decided who could vote?

That is about as real a take as it gets, you must live in the UK. In a democracy the majority decide, not the educated, the elite, the left or right. Most who voted leave had held that view long before a referendum was called. The only people who did not see the leave majority vote coming, were the entire mainstream media, the well heeled elite, the so called educated classes, and the Labour party who think they know whats good for working people without asking them.
And you can't influence and manipulate the majority, can you?You seem to undervalue mass psychology, imho.
Anyway, bitcoin does one thing since the genesis block, and that is: surprise us. When i go by the least popular opinion, imo the sustained continuation of a bull run, for example. It seems that sideways and down are the more popular expectations, so bitcoin is likely up to do something else But this is another attempt to project the past onto future events, tbh. May fail as well, and certainly will at some point After 8 years of trying I converted a nocoiner friend yesterday and they were lucky enough to buy the dip.
possibly the birth of a new hodler? These +153% would bring us into $80k territory, which the tarot grandma of a WO predicted recently (didn't remember his nickname).
When zooming out, the correction looks just right. Breaking the parabola and returning to trusty, old linear projection. Shy investors will possibly like this, too. Confidence. EDIT: and good night! Well, the remainers tried with massive fud, but failed, so no, apparently not.

Dude. Please don't be intentionally disingenuous. You know had she stormed the White House armed with a machete and chanting "Off with Trumps head!" then it would have been the equivalent to what happened at the Capital. She should be arrested and charged for a felony. Had all those protesters taken pictures of themselves at home with Pelosi's severed head, that would have been in poor taste, but perfectly ok.

I don't give a shit if 90% of the protestors were just marching. The 10% of the ones that stormed the capital are all felons and should be charged as such and all the congressmen/woman and Trumps and his sycophants should be charged with sedition.
You snowflakes crying about social media bans. I will drink all your pansy ass tears. You don't get to storm the capital and try to kill people in this country. These people deserve every ban they get.
Cry me a river with your treason.

Picking the worst messages you can find, clearly made by disturbed individuals, and trying to pass them of as being representative for all Trump supporters is just morally and intellectually wrong. You can find tweets like this on twitter from disturbed leftists as well if you look hard enough.
Just for fun, show me them. No, I don't wade in that swamp, look yourself.

I can't believe anyone that was storming the capital, went there with the intention of killing anyone. If anything, it was the police that drew first blood, killing that woman by shooting her in the neck. This is the last I am saying about this incident, and recognize I am now posting about politics, which means I need to bust out the ole rusty pipe and go to work on myself as penance. I'm trying to make a point here about there being unhinged people on both sides of this. There are too many unknowns right now about the recent capital incident to take any rigid stance. We're presently victims of asymmetric information warfare, and now bringing that warfare here to our beloved Corn shitposting thread. The Yaoi will become increasingly worse from here on out. I have spoken. EDIT: Oh... that's the good stuff right there... Oh yeah... I've missed Rusty. EDIT2: Oh... Jesus Christ...

You don't get it do you? What they do to your enemies now, they can do to you later, defending somebody else's right is defending your own right.

If you don't believe people went there to kill then you are choosing to rationalize cognitively. The proof is overwhelming. And they did kill two cops. Oops, guess that was an accident. Anyway its treason and sedition.

HairyMaclairy will figure it out, when the ban machine turns on leftists eventually. One day Bernie/AOC/progressives will be banned across social media for "incitement", they will be very surprised. "But we talked about revolution and defunding the police in a good way!", they'll claim.

Wow! I wasn't aware of Parler until the recent events. I'm not a social media fan, don't do Facebook, don't do Twitter, don't do Instagram. Don't do anything of this sort. 70 TB? This is a ton of data! Reading the above quote just shows the intellectual and moral level of some of those American "patriots". I think many of them should probably be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. The wiring in their brains seems seriously wrong. And the sad part for them is that Trump probably doesn't give a fuck about them... Edit:And another... Thanks Hairy. Picking the worst messages you can find, clearly made by disturbed individuals, and trying to pass them of as being representative for all Trump supporters is just morally and intellectually wrong. You can find tweets like this on twitter from disturbed leftists as well if you look hard enough. Not only that, with this kind of messages the support of all social media platforms has to deal on a daily bases. I agree, someone took the worst message and try to frame this as the usual trump supporter. I am more concernd that "cleansing" Trump supporters is a valid point in the USA. We in germany had 2 times where cleansing the political "enemy" was a thing. In the third reich and after that we had in one half of germany for 40 years a left dictatorship (socialism), where we "cleans" the people who don't fit in camps (a place named Bautzen) or we shoot people who want to leave the country. (not come in... If you wanted to leave, you were shot to death on the border.). All in the name of anti-fashism for 40 year in history. So yes. "Cleansing" people in your country is more of a concern from my end, that this tweet of a stupid nuts job. Nutjobs you have everywhere from tiume to time. But this nutjob has nothing to rule. He is a nobody. But lists and cleansing, that should more of a concern for all of you.

We don't know the circumstances in those unfortunate and senseless deaths. I can't believe they were killed by Honest-To-God America-Loving Trump supporters. That is indeed a cognitive disconnect. I see it more reasonable to suspect Antifa or left wing agitators as being responsible for those deaths. EDIT: Eg: https://twitter.com/ReaICosy/status/1348898226687143937That first dude totally looks like an agitator. That's some real home-grown patriotic America-loving behavior, I'll tell you hwat. EDIT2: Maybe I just am that out of touch with things. Who knows.

Also, it's not being "extreme left" to prevent people from organizing a coup and lynchings, it's called civilization.
With that type of logic book burning can be justified indeed. I see it as a slippery slope like I said. Others see it as a good thing for the greater good. As pointed out that greater good is slowly controlled only by billionaires. Book burning by whom ? We're talking about private companies here. And usually on bitcoin forums people don't have problems with billionaires, but I guess there are exceptions. And you think it's ok for a few private companies to control what we can and can not say? When People got sick of twitter and started to migrate to Parler, Twitters owner called Amazons owner and asked him to shut down Parlers servers to kill the competition. A blatant abuse of power, and probably against US antitrust and other laws. Consider that AWS has already a history of such "measures". At least they seem to be "fair" in terms of unbiased (left/right) but maybe just picky about following their rules (terms of service). Sometimes more, sometimes less. However, violence needs to be addressed at its sources, and i see this principle applied here. There are many other channels, and also a history (everyone remember the "hotline" client/server network?). In addition, you only have to go back 10 years before the Brexit vote and find out that in fact the Liberal Democrats wanted an in out referendum as well. Nothing to do with Robert Mercer or Nigel Farage.

They will start building a free trade area with just about everyone as soon as they can. And that area will soon be bigger then the EU, mark my words. Remember EFTA, that Austria used to be part of before joining the EEC? That was started by the British. I value your opinion, especially because you have far better historic knowledge than me. This will become quite interesting. I think the UK may be in a weak position to set up trade agreements BUT the EU is already slowly dismounting itself from the inside. So relative to the EU, the UK might end up stronger mid/long term, quite likely imo.
