You say fascist about Trump. The republicans say socialist about Obama. Round and round we go until everyone but corporate-approved opinion is banned.

  Yes, except one of those sides is a) never arguing in good faith, b) usually lying through their teeth, and c) wrong. Not even worth engaging. And anyway, this is simply a wonderful example of that Free Speech™ they love yelling about. As if any of them cared (or knew) about this random knitting community before today.

    Both sides believe this about the other side.

      Two equal sides believing things does not make both of those things equally true.

  Maybe we need to start a register of apolitical companies and avoid the ones that start taking overtly political stances.

    That’s how it used to be. In recent years signaling (one way or the other) has become a part of marketing or even corporate identity. I hope this genie doesn’t resist going back in some day.

  You say the world is flat. I say the world is round. Round and round we go until everyone but corporate-approved opinion is banned.

    I don't believe flat earthers should be banned from social networks, so it sounds like we're in agreement.
    • mcphage 7y ago
      And Ravelry isn't banning Republicans or Trump supporters, so I guess we're all in agreement here.
