    BUT LIBERALS ARE OBSESSED lolz

    you should be worried that a cartel is able to entirely deplatform a sitting president.

    try to imagine where that path leads.

    TBH I am just worried that it's the wrong cartel and the wrong president.

    If we did it to them I would be masturbating and gloating furiously. Not giving off platitudes with a hypocritical smile like that picture in Dorian Grays attic.

    Influence & merger is 2 different things. TOS are agreed to by each & every user, it's no mystery as to how it works.

    I'm not. They've shown that isn't something they are quick to do. It took a level of irresponsibility that required adults to make a judgment call that they preferred they didn't have to make.

    Y'all are acting like BIG EVIL TECH was quick to drop the hammer on him because they didn't like him.

    All of you American political experts can push whatever narrative you'd like to push.

    no I'm acting like BIG EVIL TECH is acting as a single unit to achieve political goals.

    soon enough they'll drop the hammer on someone you don't consider an ULTIMATE BAD GUY™ and you're going to act shocked that something like this could ever happen.

    Lolz. No. Trump was warned and givin multiple chances. He wasn't banned because someone didn't like policy he stood for. He wasn't banned after numerous sketchy statements he made. I support the reason he was dropped and I'd support the same if it was a member of any political party.

    Lolz and no matter how many times it is said, y'all just can't accept Twitter or any other social media platform isn't required to let anyone use their services.

    You think they should have that power?

    You won't.

    Because it's a wrong and overly-simplistic analysis of the situation. This is not a few companies acting on their own political interests, this is a cartel of companies that act in unison and have a monopoly on most types of internet media.

    if any liberals here are in their 30s and make it to their 60s, they are going to become conservatives. They'll feel shocked and betrayed that the democrat party now supports, idk pedophilia or dog sex. And the republic party will be saying stuff like "now dog sex is all very well and american, it's just raping puppies I object to" and the usual crowd will claim they are fascists for even suggesting a dickgirl should not have the right to rape a 5 week old poodle.

    yeah, I don't know who originally said it but socially, US conservatives are pretty much just Democrats 10-15 years ago.


    they should be banned from using the name because they're not really 'conserving' anything

    Robert Lewis Dabney? Moldbug was fond of this quote of his:

    It may be inferred again that the present movement for women’s rights will certainly prevail from the history of its only opponent, Northern conservatism. This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution, to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance. The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip. No doubt, after a few years, when women’s suffrage shall have become an accomplished fact, conservatism will tacitly admit it into its creed, and thenceforward plume itself upon its wise firmness in opposing with similar weapons the extreme of baby suffrage; and when that too shall have been won, it will be heard declaring that the integrity of the American Constitution requires at least the refusal of suffrage to donkeys. There it will assume, with great dignity, its final position.

    no

    the point is that he was simultaneously banned from virtually every major platform, and when he moved to one that wouldn't censor him for political reasons they literally destroyed the company for not sharing their 'moderation' policies.

    You're being quite disingenuous. Deliberately evading the valid point. It's almost pathetic.
