Trump does not represent a determinate ideological or political position, but rather the lack (or self-contradictoriness) of any position as such. Trump's efficacy lies in this dialectical reversal which he avows, and which obscures the US political landscape by reproducing the onto-theology of G. K. Chesterton or Hegel.
Thank you! I completely agree - the interesting part is the mismatch of the Republican-Democrat opposition to the reasoned right-left opposition - this non-correlation which acts only in its disparity towards itself is for me precisely what Hegel means by indeterminacy.
And how would you actually know what the internet is censoring if it's being censored and therefore you can't see it?
If I go on Facebook and type "Genocide for Palestine" nothing will happen.
If I type "Americans are stupid" my comment will be flagged for hate speech.
According to Mark Zuckerberg wishing death upon an entire population isn't hate, but pointing out to Americans that they're stupid is. Thats the people you handed complete power to.
Who decides what misinformation is, and what is the process for addressing grievances?
Generally if you post misinformation on Facebook, depending on the type and usually only on subjects that it benefits them to address, they apply a blur to it and an option to unblur it.
Once I posted an AI photo of Zuckerberg and Musk cuddling which said "Maybe they'll ban AI if you post this."
They flagged my post as misinformation, and unlike any other time I've seen them do it, the blur effect was permanent. You couldn't see the image.
The most critical part of a democracy is the citizens right to choose. For good or ill, it has to be their choice to believe what they believe or else it's not democracy. Why can a Christian or a Jew post things relating to their holy book which aren't true? How long before they can't? Or maybe they'll always be able to but only them?

FYI that's not how Poppers Paradox works.
He was specifically referring to people who advocate violence against specific groups of people, not people who say mean things.
No it doesn't. You should actually read Popper.
