I'll read this later. But I'll just say that I was thinking of negative freedom (I think).

I'm not thinking of left-right stuff. I want an news outlet that cares about civil liberties such as free speech, free culture, free software, privacy, etc, etc. That's orthogonal to whether you are "left" or "right" (I'm not even sure what that means outside of economics).
Economic liberty is something I am curious about, also.

Gonna just disable my voice typing keyboard. It's too annoying to correct it's inevitable errors.

>In quantum physics, there is the concept of quantum entanglement: two particles can be entangled and remain linked, even if they are later separated by great distance. Einstein was famously uncomfortable with this idea, calling it “spooky action at a distance.”

Not true, he used "spooky action at a distance" to refer to something else IIRC.

@thatbrickster ground news seems to focus on the left-right spectrum and not the other spectrums that one can divide politics into

Does anyone know of any outlets that cover UK news with a libertarian bent?

@mischievoustomato because you suck

@m0xee @nicholas @softwarepagan @toiletpaper @lizzy What does "black people" mean then. Who do Ukrainian (and Russian) neo-Nazis hate?

@nicholas @softwarepagan @toiletpaper @lizzy But they have a Jewish president. So it can't be that bad.

>Putin was trolling about the Nazis
So we have powerful politicians capable of great violence trolling about the justifications for that violence? Fucking great.

@admitsWrongIfProven Are the neo-Nazi homeschoolers at risk of taking over the country?

@admitsWrongIfProven what sort of sick stuff *is* done to homeschooled kids?

@admitsWrongIfProven @lizzy Not just mainstream education. The entire mainstream world. For instance, see fediverse.

@admitsWrongIfProven @lizzy What are you thinking daddy might do?

@lizzy @admitsWrongIfProven What do you mean by "keep their children away from the outside world" exactly? Because my experience of the mainstream has been pretty shit actually, so I kind of understand wanting to keep away from it.

@lizzy @admitsWrongIfProven What do you mean?
I was part of a "home education group" as a child and there was one family there who were Catholic and educated their kids in their religion (creationism and everything probably). Is that what you're talking about? Because they seem to have turned out alright too.

geopol, nazi/antifa discourse
@lizzy @softwarepagan @toiletpaper What are these Nazis doing? Are they trying to take over and enact a genocide? Are they committing violence against people they don't like? Are they just like the "nazis" in the West who often turn out just to be mildly right-wing people who, say, don't support abortion, or something like that (I remember in the pre-deepfake era watching a video of pro-life protestors in America receiving violence from people in black covering their faces, which to my knowledge is something antifa does).

@admitsWrongIfProven I was homeschooled before secondary school and I turned out fine.

“The police were knocking at the door, and one day they took the children to school, and the children were crying because the policemen took the schoolbags by force,” Uwe Romeike told Deutsche Welle in 2009.

The family also faced “fines eventually totaling over $11,000” and “threats that they would lose custody of their children,” according to The New York Times.

The Romeikes had run afoul of schulpflicht, Germany’s legal duty to send children to state-approved schools. The intent, explains the country’s Federal Constitutional Court, is to prevent “the emergence of religious or ideologically motivated ‘parallel societies’” that disagree with prevailing ideas.

(Bold emphasis mine; but I don’t speak German so I can’t judge whether Reason’s interpretation of the law is accurate)

If this isn’t authoritarian to you then I don’t know what to say.

@toiletpaper @softwarepagan Is Ukraine really that full of that kind of Nazi that it justifies invasion or was that just Putin looking for an excuse?

@PeterCxy who cares how you look?
