Do you also support terrorists planning and announcing attacks openly? Because that’s what was contained in Amazon’s letter to Parler - 98 instances of real threats against minorities, press, legislators, etc.
Discourse has always had limits of decency, and when that cannot be ensured - the very tool or network becomes a national security concern. Conservatives aren’t the issue - it’s the batshit crazy terrorists that aren’t contained.
- mc32 6y agoI do not support violent threats issued by leftists or rightists. However, I do see leftist terroristic threats given more berth than rightist threats. ("Let's burn that mutherf*er down") That said other speech that may contain lies and deceit, etc, should be protected free speech. Because, as we know, facts change. Just like Vitamin D & Covid. Oh, now it's okay. Before it was a lie.

- dannyw 6y agoMy favourite thing was getting sitebanned from Reddit for advocating the use of face masks, especially for high risk populations (ie the elderly or those with pre-existing conditions). Apparently I was spreading misinformation because WHO said masks don’t help the general public.

- jeremyjh 6y ago> My favourite thing was getting sitebanned from Reddit for advocating the use of face masks Do you have any evidence of this? There were lots of people advocating masks on r/Coronavirus since January. I've never heard of a site-ban for conduct that doesn't violate Reddit's TOS.
- watwut 6y agoThat is odd because I have seen people advocating the use of face masks on various reddits since the begining of covid.
- Mtinie 6y agoThe question: “Why is it that Leftist terroristic threats are given a greater level of leeway versus Rightist threats?” has a companion question which is equally pertinent: “Why is it that Rightist violence is met with restrained law enforcement responses versus the heavy handed responses during occasions of Leftist violence?”
- cebert 6y agoWhere was the heavy handed law enforcement response during BLM protests the last 6 months? I don’t recall any protestors being shot.

- letmevoteplease 6y agoWatching liberals morph into 2001-era Republicans is pretty funny. We should call the coming era the Orange Scare.
