Typical right wing snowflake talking point. Twitter has for sure declined with much more garbage on there now but a left-wing “meltdown” just isn’t there. I assume you are in favor of him reinstating Kanye West?
Oh that’s good to know! As a non-right winger, I’d hate to be pushing their agenda. So if I see a meltdown from the left, what should I call it as not to be perceived as a right wing snowflake? I need to really get the words right. I should take a page from CBS. They are great at words. This is how they described the event when two people were killed from a Palestinian terrorist bombing.
He made antisemitic remarks.
You mean like half of the woke democrats, and probably a ton of those on Twitter?
No, but then neither should be a ton of other people who have used that platform to spew their hate along the years. Again, those who come to mind are people on the left, for the simple reason that Twitter were pretty good at enforcing the TOS when it suited their woke workforce.
The woke democrats are as antisemitic as the right. Maybe even more. They just hide it behind their concern for the Palestinians. I'm talking about how they behave towards American Jews, e.g. on college campuses. Let's not mention all the traditionally democrat groups (Catholics, Muslims, blacks) who have an above average percentage of antisemitic sympathies.

If someone raped my sister and I point out that someone also raped YOUR sister does not in any sense of the word mean I am defending the rapist that did it to my sister.
I was unfamiliar with this. It seems like he was an idiot to sue and had no point. I wonder what his goal was. Free speech should be allowed. I would not side with him.View attachment 362613
Nunes cannot sue Twitter over accounts posing as his mother and a cow, judge rules | CNN Politics
California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes cannot sue Twitter over allegedly defamatory remarks made about him by satirical accounts pretending to be his mother and a cow, a Virginia judge ruled Wednesday.www.google.com
Not familiar with this as well. I wish I could give you a position but I’m not decided. Obviously not all books should be allowed and not all viewpoints and books banned. Is this just a right wing issue or does the left engage in this as well? (ie- is this tit for tat?)
This seems to support the fact that the left is snowflakes and threatened boycott of twitters advertisers to get there way. Am I reading or interpreting this wrong? Are you okay with some snowflakes and banning? All snowflakes? No snowflakes?
And left wing politicians seem to fly to Florida immediately after condemning their policies there. I’m okay with either going where they want when they want.
I am intensely against all of these. I don’t know any Americans that are okay with them. Just so you know that real world right doesn’t support this. I’m also against antifa as well and hope everyone is not for them.
Ooooooorrrrrr advertisers (being the money grubbing bastards they are) realized that associating their brand with an increasingly toxic website isn't good for their revenue numbers regardless of what the "snowflakes" as you call them want. Cause let's be honest here: advertisers could give two ****s about the left or the right, as long as they are pulling in money.
Do you really think 94% of American companies promptly implemented DEI and other Marxist measures because it was good for profits, or because most of their workforce asked for it? Or for fear of social media and "cancellation" by a very noisy and tech-savvy minority?
Why do you think it was just conservatives? Many people don't want unisex group bathrooms, especially women.
I actually care about it. I don't want unisex group bathrooms.
He seems pretty reasonable to me.
Mostly he is. But looking back through this thread, like 75% of his responses include the word "woke". It's like his personal boogeyman, the same way that "racists" are to other people. I'm not looking for an argument on the appropriate amount of times to use woke in an online discussion or anything, I just think that narrowing all these political issues down to one woke argument is a little unreasonable.
I came from a strong center-left position (would have never even considered voting republican, because they were the party of the boogeymen). The woke (aka the "progressives") were the ones who pushed me to the right. You're absolutely right I can't stand them; they remind me of the communists too much, they just ooze hate.
…Except that isn’t what happened. You probably aren’t aware but activist made an agreement with Musk to not boycott. Then they reneged. Then they submitted protest/boycott to companies. Then the companies withdrew their advertising.

This story needs to be taught over and over.
There are two issues:
This story needs to be taught over and over.
It is a story of tremendous courage to stand up for at the time was right.
People were up in arms then, too.
However, we seemed to have swung even further against the idea that ACTUAL free speech matters. The ACLU will no longer defend this side.
