off the top of my head: Crimethinc, a relatively boring and old leftist site, was banned recently and not reinstated AFAIK. There was that Friedman guy yesterday. Refusing to stick out your hand does not make the rain go away.

They were banned a few days ago, it seems -- unclear why, it sounds like the called for violence (against Tesla no less), but it's so full of "the capitalist fascists are murdering us"-crazy-level rhetoric that it's hard to find out what happened. I don't know who "that Friedman guy" is, but I did read that Musk announced a general amnesty. No clue if they are included, I assume it depends on the (given) reason for the ban. It's hard to tell. Whenever I look at something on Twitter, I still see left-wingers posting, but I assume if they're not banned they're not real leftists and that's not a counter-example etc. Movements should really go back to officially recognizing members so we can discuss these things more easily!

  Dude, the capitalist spent 44 BILLION dollars to fight the "woke mind virus". He proceeded by inducing Twitter to shed most of its LGBT, Black and female workforce -- those before/after team pics are gutting, and easily googled. You get that that is literally how fascism do, right? This phase is called "Gleischaltung".

    It's difficult to argue about the woke mind virus with someone who is suffering from the woke mind virus. Not everything is fascism.

      describing your opponent as "infected" is, in the most literal sense, dehumanizing. In this instance, for example, you used it as an excuse to stop thinking and talking. That's all that's needed. It scales. Fascism is a process, not a toggle. And currently, it's processing you. Read your Adrendt. I am also available on this thread to continue explaining it.

        Oh no, you've caught me red handed 1attice, I am indeed a fascist. I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for your brilliant insight, you truly are an amazing person protecting the marginalised communities from evil. Truly a life well spent, your father must be very proud to have a son like you.
