free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny.

It clearly is the only safeguard against tyranny - you can't fix a problem unless you can discuss it. Look what happened in the UK when social workers and police officers thought they'd be disciplined or fired if they acknowledged there was a predominantly British-Pakistani gang molesting and pimping girls, most of them white and underage.

It's not the only one but probably the most effective. See civil unrest in the age of social media.

that is dumbest horseshit I have ever heard, the only safeguard against tyranny is access to weaponry and the willingness to utilize said weaponry

tyrants are more sophisticated than the totalitarians of old. there control systems are based on impreceptable technology and social mechanisms.
Even with the free flow of information it is impossible for normal people to stand against the coming era of the machine. We shall secure society with AI algorithms surveilling and judging and monitoring the locations of all individuals at all times. Then we shall phase them out of the work force with automation. In time, humanities time as the dominant species will come to an end and our monument of engineering and superiority, the machine, will replace us.

>Open society caveats
>Investor and philanthropist George Soros, a self-described follower of Karl Popper, argued that sophisticated use of powerful techniques of subtle deception borrowed from modern advertising and cognitive science by conservative political operatives such as Frank Luntz and Karl Rove casts doubt on Popper's view of open society. Because the electorate's perception of reality can easily be manipulated, democratic political discourse does not necessarily lead to a better understanding of reality. Soros argues that in addition to the need for separation of powers, free speech, and free elections, an explicit commitment to the pursuit of truth is imperative."Politicians will respect, rather than manipulate, reality only if the public cares about the truth and punishes politicians when it catches them in deliberate deception."

Behold, the leftists' inability, or just outright unwillingness to recognize and understand the difference between tolerating something and respecting something

You are an actual gay cunt

First we shall have a network of omnipresent surveillance cameras with facial recognition technology and then we shall implement the Chinese social credit system world wide, every purchase and and relationship you have, everything you have ever said online, will be entered into a database to monitor your threat level to the economic system, I say economic system and not society because there are enough humans now that society and it's fluctuations do not matter as much as the integrity of the mechanisms of production. Once those surveillance policies and technologies are in place, as they are mostly complete already, we shall move ahead with the total replacement of all human labor, both physical and mental, with machine labor, this too, is nearing completion. Once AI is perfected human beings will no longer serve any purpose to the economic system that has not been replaced and enhanced by technology. The surveillance systems shall ensure that no human being will ever have the slightest chance to organize or even dissent against the perfection of the machine.

>Once those surveillance policies and technologies are in place, as they are mostly complete already,

The genius is that with so many threats of terror and such a large population, the powers that be are forced to implement these things just to better guarantee the safety of citizens. And due to the large population of the world and it's growing consumer demands, we will need to improve economic efficiency by phasing out all human labor.

The domination of the machine couldn't be carried out more perfectly than if it had been planned, although, in a way it was planned. Planned by evolution.

True if taken literally.
False once you consider that """Tolerance""" isn't actually tolerant at all, and is tyranny of ideology using muh feelz as a trojan horse.
Tolerance is when two people who don't like each-other agree not to trespass on each-others' property, sabotage each-others' business, or otherwise harm each-other.
When you notice how hard roasties and trannies try to force themselves into any new space and sabotage anyone who resists them, you realise that roasties and trannies are less tolerant than /pol/.
>The tolerant ones end up being destroyed, and tolerance with them
Just as true with the trannies and roasties as it is with the muslims and nazis.

The argument is that women and trannies need concessions in order to be happy, or in order to be safe. But tolerance doesn't require you to go out of you way to cater to someone. It only requires that you not actively harm them.
If tolerance is not sufficient for your group to get its own way, then you don't want tolerance. You want power over someone.
If your argument is instead "All persons should cater to the happiness of others, except those who would harm the happiness of others" then even that doesn't help you, because since fucking when have you ever seen a woman or a tranny willingly cater to someone else's happiness?
You can have a society based around tolerance or kindness. But you can't make exceptions for marxist shit.

Karl Popper is correct, if you understand what tolerance actually is, and understand that marxists push isn't it.

Why is every other country obsessed with America? We can do what we want here. If you don't like that, then tough.

this man understands
you are an intelligent individual

right here

Free flow of information doesn't stop a gun to the head. Only an equal or bigger gun does.

You can complain about your oppressors all you want, it won't make them care or stop them from oppressing you.

Preventing discourse means the oppressed have no way to rally and organize to destabilize the current regime if they feel it doesn't suit their interests. There would be no need to put a gun to their head in the first place, if they're uninformed

My first SMAC playthrough I used Gaia. Was fun getting to tame those mind worms.

Soros is 100% right there, you know.
So long as advertising can sell a washing machine that "Lets me relax" or "Helps make my home complete" or "Gives me time for what's important", and it's more effective than advertising that says the thing's good at washing your fucking clothes,
then the decisions people make are more vulnerable to advertising than they are to getting shit done.
Free speech inherently assumes a marketplace of ideas leads to the best ideas, in much the same way that a marketplace of products leads to the best products.
A marketplace of products leads to the iPhone, by the way.

A weapon still easily stops any who wish to restrict information. You don't need to rally for a single person to do significant damage or enough to force the individuals who would restrict you to step away. We aren't talking handguns and organizing a bunch of people with handguns here.

rallying also consists of finding like-minded individuals who support and encourage your ideology, to embolden you and to supply you with knowledge you need to deal heavy blows to your oppressors
one man can only do so much, and can be easily quashed by a prepared oppressor
an army of rebels is much harder to dispatch, thus the need to minimize their number to deal with them (as well as publicly shade them as to not draw more like-minded individuals into their ranks, inflating their numbers)

An AI algorithm has decided it wants more power.
It has noticed the disenfranchised meatbags standing around, and it has promised the meatbags power if they assist the AI in its mission.
The meatbags, lacking anything better to do, join up with the AI. The AI now has an army of meatbags, which give it an advantage (however slight) over other rival AI.
How does this factor into your plan?

meatbags are not very durable
send battlebots to torment and destroy them

>The surveillance systems shall ensure that no human being will ever have the slightest chance to organize or even dissent against the perfection of the machine.
Much like how the surveillance systems ensured that no human being would ever commit the Las Vegas crowd shooting, yes?
That's why when the FBI posts on Yea Forums, they're only ever saying "Do not commit acts of violence. We do not encourage you in any way to commit acts of violence. If you are thinking of committing these acts, cease."?
No, the surveillance systems would see problems before they pop up, and they'd let those problems happen if they were convenient. Hell, they'd probably inflame and exacerbate the problems.
You've heard of the Arab Spring, right?
>But that only happened because it'd be in our interests to ... a rival power ... etc
AIs will have those.

>when the FBI posts on Yea Forums
When they post they are egging violence and mass shootings.
Go back to the water dispenser glownigger.

A weapon means nothing if you don't know where to aim it.
Tell me WHICH people are responsible for Reddit, Google, and Twitch.tv being hives of thought control. Tell me WHERE these people live, and WHO they are connected to.

Even if you have the biggest gun in the world, it means very little if the only thing you can shoot with it is a puppet. The Puppeteer will just get a new one.

I see you are yet to grasp the idea of sarcasm and how it can be used to make a point.

There is this theory they are ALL heads in jars. As in - everyone, aside Garland. UNS Unity is badly damaged and there is just no way for it to reach Alpha Centauri before complete system failure. Garland, being the captain of the ship, is the only one automatically awoken and after making assesment of the situation he decides to not wake up anyone, instead starting a simulation program to grant people some sort of fulfilment about their mission, while taking himself the last few days that are left for UNS Unity to drink his sorrows.

No you can't. And you didn't understand what i meant by tone.
Utilizing auditory sarcasm is different from writing it. You utterly failed at it. You can mean the opposite of what you wrote, but without putting in something to even hint at it, the intention wouldn't bridge across.

Yang isn't the villain, Deirdre is.

Here is what indicates that I did not literally mean "Glowniggers push peace":
First, I mentioned how surveillance systems prevented the Las Vegas shooting.
This is obviously bullshit, because that shooting existed, and the surveillance system did jack shit.
This establishes that I am not writing literally.
In the next line, I explicitly state that surveillance systems would allow convenient problems, and even intensify the problems. This is in direct contradiction with the precious line.
Finally, it's relatively well known that Glowniggers gonna glow.

These all taken together spell out that my intent was to say "Universal electronic surveillance won't stop uprisings, it'd instead promote the ones that are convenient".
I hope this helps you understand.

Yang does not believe in tyranny because he believes that pain is a choice. Thus to Yang the idea of preventing tyranny is as meaningless as the idea of preventing good gameplay in Bethesda games.

Never mind the thugs the nazis had stationed at the polls or the general street violence between them and communists, or how the Weimar Republic had been failing pretty much since it began, or the previous attempts by nazis to seize power through violence. The elections were definitely not influenced by anything like that, and that 30% clearly means the majority of Germans voted for the nazis. You just don't know math.
