And the same thing from the other side is trivially easy to find too. Your comment implied that Twitter looks the other way, but only for liberals, and that claim is laughable at best and it's a trivial task to find counter-evidence. Besides, the first three pages of that search have zero tweets that involve someone telling someone else to kill themselves. They're all mock conversations, or memes, or literally a discussion of the fact that the punishment for attempted suicide is death. Or people encouraging others to call suicide hotlines, or a joke about killing yourself to get insurance money. I'm literally looking for a threatening tweet in that search and can't find one.

Am I to understand that suggesting Trump voters kill themselves is acceptable? Why haven't the posters of every single one of the above tweets I linked been banned? Yet we're only hearing about the "alt right" boogeyman.

  >Am I to understand that suggesting Trump voters kill themselves is acceptable? I have no idea how you would've come to that conclusion, I certainly don't think it and didn't imply it. Is this really the game we're playing? Really? I have to go find three tweets of Trump supporters telling HRC supporters to kill themselves? Do you really think that can't be trivially found?

    "And to every black person that voted for Trump as a joke. Malcolm X should kick ur ass. You are not my nigga anymore. Kill yourself" https://twitter.com/h0elooks/status/796337658549202945 https://twitter.com/h0elooks/status/796337658549202945 "Please kill yourself racist piece of shit" (seconds ago as of time of writing) https://twitter.com/braaaaiiinnns/status/799113146602573825 https://twitter.com/braaaaiiinnns/status/799113146602573825 5-6, actually. Go ahead, I'll wait. Yes, I really think you can't find that, unless we're getting different search results for some reason. I'm not doing some cherry picking of the results here, these are literally the first tweets I can find where "kill yourself" is directed at a person or group and not obviously humorous. That last one came up in the search while I had the search open, even. I stand by my original statement and believe I've proven it.

      This is the most asinine, childish conversation I've ever participated in, but here's what 50 seconds of effort got me: https://twitter.com/LK4Csjsharks20/status/795128062941675520 https://twitter.com/LK4Csjsharks20/status/795128062941675520 https://twitter.com/Sundance_44/status/794595588822155264 https://twitter.com/Sundance_44/status/794595588822155264 https://twitter.com/gr1zzly/status/794184499491782657 https://twitter.com/gr1zzly/status/794184499491782657 https://twitter.com/WYLTK13/status/798922065399070720 https://twitter.com/WYLTK13/status/798922065399070720 https://twitter.com/Wolf_Gang_Tears/status/798712379991330817 https://twitter.com/Wolf_Gang_Tears/status/79871237999133081... https://twitter.com/TonyTehTowel/status/797860571882389504 https://twitter.com/TonyTehTowel/status/797860571882389504 I won't replying in this thread again. Whatever point you're trying to make, you're doing a poor job of it.

        So yeah, we are getting different results. Just looking at your top 3, I don't even see those posters in the list. I'm not blocked by them or anything, since your links work for me when logged in. Filter bubble shenanigans? There is no need whatsoever for these theatrics over a simple disagreement, for crying out loud. If I had my druthers, the owners of every single tweet linked in this thread, yours as well, would be banned from Twitter, if not brought up on harassment charges. You will note that I said Twitter has no issues with those with leftist political leanings telling others to kill themselves. That statement is still true, but misleading in the light of what you linked here. Twitter apparently has no issue with anyone telling others to kill themselves. And people wonder why their stock price is falling off a cliff...

        >There is no need whatsoever for these theatrics over a simple disagreement, for crying out loud. Oh I dunno, it might have something to do with you implying that I support the idea of any person telling any other person to kill themselves. >You will note that I said Twitter has no issues with those with leftist political leanings telling others to kill themselves. That statement is still true, but misleading in the light of what you linked here. Twitter apparently has no issue with anyone telling others to kill themselves. That was an awfully artful way of saying you were full of shit without having to actually admit you were wrong. Nice. Ironically, I was actually remarking, just hours ago, about Twitter's horrible moderation and response to abuse before even seeing this thread. I would have readily agreed that they suck at handling abuse, but instead you went with "a liberal conspiracy to allow threats towards conservatives" despite the incredible ease of finding counter examples.
