sigh. this has been dealt with endlessly. people have a right to say more or less what they want. they dont have a right to any specific non-government megaphone. and vaccine denial should result suspensions. and election hogwash too, depending on how it was worded. life is too short for this.

As pointed out above this is a lie, as are most of your statements.

Thought this was worth calling out specifically, since while I'm not quite on board the "it's as bad as south africa" train, it's flat out false.
For example all Jews, as well as their children, grandchildren, and spouses, have the right to move to Israel and immediately gain citizenship. Non-jews don't have that right. So an Israeli Jew has the right to bring relatives in, immediately and as full citizens. An Arab Israeli does not.
For another example, Israeli Jews have compulsory service in the military. Arab Israeli citizens do not.
For another Israel has laws that allow some Jewish citizens, but not Arab citizens under the otherwise identical circumstances, to recover land lost during the 1948 war.
For another the Nation-State Law of 2018 cites "The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people" so Jews here are called out specifically as having a right unique to them alone (there's other problematic stuff in there but it's the most obvious one).
There's also a slew of laws that are effectively discriminatory against Arab citizens in practice (the citizenship and entry law regarding spouses who are Palestinian for example, which even the UN unanimously resolved violated international treaties against racism)...and then a slew of defacto enforcement of laws that are also demonstrably discriminatory- for example Arab citizens tend to receive heavier jail sentences than Jewish ones for the same crimes, are more likely to be convinced of serious ones that Jews, and are denied bail more often than Jews. Schools in heavily Arab areas also tend to be varsity underfunded compared to those in predominately Jewish ones....and the list goes on and on.
EXACTLY sounds like America's immigration laws and how they are enforced and how blacks are treated.
By Omar's definition America is an apartheid nation.

And today's word of the day is ...
non sequitur
noun
non se·qui·tur ˌnän-ˈse-kwə-təralso -ˌtu̇r
Synonyms of non sequitur
1
: an inference (see INFERENCE sense 1) that does not follow from the premises (see PREMISE entry 1 sense 1)
specifically : a fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmative (see AFFIRMATIVE entry 1 sense 3) proposition or from the transposition of a condition and its consequent (see CONSEQUENT entry 1 sense 1)
2
: a statement (such as a response) that does not follow logically from or is not clearly related to anything previously said
We were talking about the new restaurant when she threw in some non sequitur about her dog.
Richly deserved. When Fox was spouting this nonsense on Dominion, I don't think anyone believed other than the most deluded Right wing extremists.
The liberal media also lies, but it won't be so crass and easily proven. Like the Russian collusion with Trump campaign. Suppression of Biden laptop. Gaslighting is an art
This video is from two years ago.. not too different from what I said earlier..
No, it very clearly isn't. Systemic discrimination in the USA is a policy failure, not an aim.

That's a large percentage of their viewers.
Tell me more how you didnt read the Mueller report
Pretty clear someone's sources of truth (which they are embarrassed to identify) are lacking.
Another bad take about twitter fails completely after 6 months:
This is what happens to many of the bad faith predictions about Elon Musk: When you re-examine them after a few years, they inevitably turned out to be completely wrong, it's just the perpetrator will have moved the goal post and hope nobody remembers, well we do remember.

I remember the initial hiccups in Model 3 ramp up, was over scrutinized and overblown by the media with the help of TSLAQ. TSLAQ even ran a website known as "Tesla death watch" which was heavily promoted by the media. The author of that site was the darling of CNBC and LAT for many years.
Any production ramp to mass market - especially the ones with a ton of new technologies - will have niggles. But NO, when it comes to Musk & Tesla every minor bump is a serious error in judgement, lack of skills, accounting fraud, path to failure and bankruptcy. Media made it seem that Tesla was a laughing stock. Now who is laughing?
"Coming soon." --Elon Musk

Your car should have driven by itself from NY to LA 5 years ago while you watched SpaceX launch humans to Mars and no U.S. covid cases in April of 2020.
Do you really want me to go on?
