Latin script is only slightly worse than Hangul (which eliminates syllabic ambiguity), but English is a horror. In sane languages using Latin script, new letters are invented or diacritics are used to represent sounds not used in Latin.

> smartphones are impossible to use if you’re restricted to Chinese characters

This isn't actually true. Handwriting recognition is much more popular than any other means of text input in Hong Kong.

Your analogy is absurd. Social networks are nothing like telecom at all.

It's more like GoDaddy or NameCheap refusing to host stormfront.

All the tweets are deleted now so obviously I can't post any of them. Twitter does have access to Milo's DM history, however, and you can be banned for inciting harassment through direct message.

Use a credible source, not one that isn't above photoshopping tweets.

Why should Twitter be coerced into publishing racist tripe?

The first amendment does not guarantee a right to a platform.

Milo was banned for repeated rule violations and getting a troll army to harass Leslie Jones. Stop trying to revise history.

Come on. The main idea of that book is that not massacring all the arriving brown people is a mistake.

Of course, seeing as your username has an 88 in it, I really doubt your comment was sincere.

True, the current President has made a significant amount of money from scams like Trump University.

I'm saying that the sentiment expressed (vacuous complaints about "wrongthink" when the "wrongthink" in question is complaints about people choosing not to associate with fascists) originates from Stormfront and their ideological brothers-in-arms. Whether he's an actual white supremacist or someone who got suckered into repeating their propaganda is immaterial.

Bannon has, though. He thinks the correct solutions are the ones presented in Camp of the Saints.

Bush didn't employ actual fascists like vitez Gorka of the Vitezi Rend, a Horthyite organization that helped the Nazis kill Jews, in his administration.

Sometimes the outcomes are better when appointed technocrats to decide things, particularly when the people are manifestly incapable of making good decisions.

Of course, there is something to be said for allowing people to screw up their own government irreparably and be forced to suffer the consequences.

Your idea of "compromise" is to demand capitulation. There is no reason for anyone to comply with your demands because you bring nothing to the table.

In the end, it was conservatives who shot Milo down by exposing his advocacy of Catholic priest molestation. His remaining supporters are fascist and reactionary pedophiles.

People from geographic Red America are welcome as long as they aren't bigots, fascists, or pedophiles.

> How you come to these conclusions based on that one statement

Because that one statement is from Stormfront.

You are embarrassing yourself. The concept of natural monopolies and why they are bad was settled economics in the 19th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_monopoly

Also, I was talking about the oil industry 110 years ago, not the modern energy industry. A similar modern industry to ISPs is telecom, and the only reason that those companies haven't all merged together is because of antitrust law (which you would also want repealed if you were consistent at all).
