If you squint this is a weird shrine to a fictional marriage between Elvis and Britney Spears

An online message board is a type of social media yes. The Wikipedia definition seems solid:

So many companies and environmental damage just to get investors to dump money into terrible ideas.

Used to be? This is still common in many industries and localities.

I do not believe for a second that the two things are objectively equal, saying they're the same kind of thing doesn't make them the same thing. Just because you are claiming to not be able to tell the difference between two kinds of "hateful speech" does not mean there isn't an objective difference. This is the same kind of nonsense free speech absolutism argument you see ad nauseum online, that you either can't have consequences for any kind of speech or live with consequences for all kinds of speech. It's nonsense and usually isn't even in good faith.

There is a difference between a political commentator who makes their living spreading rhetoric that is hateful to the countries government and is travelling with the intention of spreading that rhetoric directly and some random travelling for leisure who said some shit on social media that was hateful to the countries government. There is also something to be said for if the rhetoric is actually causing measurable harm to large numbers of people vs if the rhetoric maybe hurt a handful of peoples feelings or seemed embarrassing to the administration.

Really speed running the geneva suggestions
