TerryBoats Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 21 hours ago, Mythos27 said: Never seen a person get banned for expressing actual right-wing politics. No one is getting "cancelled" for advocating for small government, lowering taxes, trickle down economics, etc. The problem is that the current iteration of right-wingers' version of politics is talking shit about marginalized groups. Being a raging asshole is not a political stance. These dudes say something crazy racist and then are shocked when they get booted from a platform where racism is prohibited. We see it here live all the time. Clearly the wealthiest man and perhaps the shrewdest businessman in the world just wanted to piss his money and public goodwill down the drain by making a safe space for anonymous assholes to say hateful shit. Do people actually believe this? Does it ever occur to them that there may be something to all of this, or that their current worldview is wrong?

pat Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to conclude that all the harping about “political correctness” from the 90s, up to “cancel culture” now, is mostly one of two things. It’s either racist, sexist, homophobic people complaining that they can’t be racist, sexist, or homophobic without being called out as such. Or it’s racist, sexist, or homophobic people leveraging moderation systems in racist, sexist, or homophobic ways. X has become a garbage heap. Everyone needs to get off it. It was bought so that it could become a home for the worst kind of lying. It will continue to be the home of fake news. Seeing something posted on X, regardless of attribution, should be seen as being as meaningful as a post from a user with 0 history on Titans Report. It’s that bad. Musk is kicking people off the platform, he’s working on selling accounts, it’s utter garbage.

Right wingers showed him some love so now he's out here tap dancing for them so that they can keep liking him. Musk doesn't really have any core beliefs; he'll do and say anything to be accepted by his adopted political side. Proof that being that even being the richest man on earth can't prevent you being a fucking loser with self-esteem issues ruled by attention-seeking behavior.

Assholes just want permission to be assholes and pick on people they perceive to be weaker than them without repercussions. They're the guys that want to pick on a little kid and then act like victims when the kid's older brother shows up and beats that ass. Fake tough guys, the lot of them.

Well I was trying to make a light-hearted joke and move away from the topic because your response was the same empty nihilistic and pompous political drivel I'm used to hearing. There's no discussion to be had there. And I really don't feel like defending the character of a billionaire. It is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefties aren't pussies because right wing crybabies want to call minorities slurs with no recourse... And LOL at the right being "over-censored". That is such ridiculous nonsense. No one has the right to go into a platform, that you don't own, and say the things they did to get banned. Hateful and racist things still get taken down. Lefties are pussies because they complain about anything someone says that they don't like...it doesn't have to be racist or sexist at all. I agree with you about having a right to say stuff on a private platform, but there is significant evidence that the government was teaming with Twitter to censor citizens. That's obviously not good.

Fortunately, they are balanced out with the pro-freedom views on the left. Trying to place people in a box is a pretty unintellectual tactic, and something both sides use....because both sides are filled with retards.
