Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views
Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?
Con: LOL no...no not those views
Me: So....deregulation?
Con: Haha no not those views either
Me: Which views, exactly?
Con: Oh, you know the ones
- smsm42 3y agoYou know perfectly well that there are many views beyond "lower taxes" that are or were getting censored on large platforms. For example: origin of COVID, efficiency of masks and COVID mRNA vaccines, side effects of the above, necessity of lockdowns and vaccine mandates, election integrity, modern gender theory, gun rights (or anything related to guns), criticism of certain religions, and many others. You know, "the ones" that the government wants suppressed today - "the ones" that they get suppressed today. Your pretending that only something so heinous that ever their proponents do not dare to speak openly about it is getting censored is plain false, and I suspect you know it's false, you just like to pretend it's not because it allows you to cheaply dismiss all the concerns of your opponents as "the ones" and censor them while basking in your own moral superiority.
