I did not call it fake news. I asked if what you saw was legit or fake news. I was expecting your answer would be “yes I looked into it” or “no I’m not sure” I’ve just seen so many online lies I don’t trust anything any more. I am not accusing you of anything.

So called "liberals" have a habit of trying to get conservative forums shut down by spamming them with actually illegal posts, not to mention infiltrating the moderator teams, etc. And why not, they don't have to work so they have all the time in the world. I have never used Parler so how can I know if that's what's going on here, but it is standard practice on i.e. reddit. This makes the whole point of only allowing "reasonable" speech pretty moot. Free speech really is a black and white issue, even if you would never post anything unreasonable yourself.

  That's quite an extraordinary claim, do you have anything to back that up?

    Yes, personally knowing quite a few such people. They're all on made-up "disability"

      I don’t disagree with your above claim of people trying to get a rise out of others with inflammatory speech online. I have seen it too but... it sounds like the rest of your argument is very politically motivated (and anecdotal).

        I was going to say "touché", but I don't know if you read my above comment before it was flagged, because you're implying I argued something that I didn't. The idea that Parler would not be subject to the typical cancel-culture tactics of "progressives" impersonating right-wingers and posting incitement to violence in order to get a platform that allows conservative thought shut down is ludicris. Thus a screenshot of something outragous before it was moderated away from Parler, is hardly an honest argument. It seems a bit rich to suggest that the opposing view on the question on organized mass censorship of the president of the united states is "too political".
