The first two of those are non-violent opinions you clearly disagree with. The second two are pro gun ownership - which would be perceived as appeals to violence in most of the world, but in the US is a perfectly common political position. So this fails to support your false equivalence re: Parler and Twitter. There's actually plenty of extremist hate filled bile on twitter, but these are terrible examples. Search "#killallmen" for some readily accessible examples. Still, kind of absurd to suggest it represents the mainstay of content on the platform.

  I just think, given the current milieu, that asserting that there is literally not such thing as a good cop (a hyperbolic and somewhat extremist statement by its very nature), and that stealing from corporations (I mean, there are lots of videos of people violently smashing into stores in recent months) that perhaps this is encouraging violence.. Yeah, you can twist the last 2 into a political position. But given the context, they seem to me to be appeals to violence. I mean look at just a few tweets down on the same pro gun user: https://twitter.com/Windstalker361/status/1310330804279672833 https://twitter.com/Windstalker361/status/131033080427967283... How is this not inciting violence? What else could "seizing the means of production" possibly mean in a tweet that literally shows off his/her set of assault weapons? Or literally talking about killing pigs? https://twitter.com/Windstalker361/status/1309134053501734912 https://twitter.com/Windstalker361/status/130913405350173491... I absolutely don't disagree that there are racial problems that we need to solve, or that the police need reforming. All I'm saying is that by not acknowledging that maybe this needs dealing with too, we are still going to have backlash by the other side.

There is evidence that Parler is a russian operation looking to disrupt American Democracy... https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1327271037847867395?s=20 https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1327271037847867395?s=20
