There are plenty of other websites that host neo-Nazi hate speech though, it's not like the "alt-right" have no outlet for their ideas. Twitter is under no obligation to partake in this too.

Twitter doesn't have to be a neo-Nazi propaganda platform if it deems that unacceptable. They should (and do) have the freedom and liberty to choose who uses their service.

We already know the atrocity of a region being ruled by ISIS - imagine a country run by alt-right types. We don't have to look very far back in history to see what that would be like. Twitter is acting appropriately here in not wanting

Doesn't make it false either. There is significant overlap between established neo-Nazi movements and the "alt-right", both in membership and rhetoric.

Black Lives Matter means Black Lives Matter as well . The All Lives Matter movement, as a reaction to BLM, is essentially saying that they don't, and that the racial struggles of American Blacks are irrelevant. That is the reason why

Well, let's see what happens in the next four years. I hope you're right. One potential danger is that Trump will now be indirectly in charge of the entire country's mass surveillance apparatus. That's a powerful system

Yes, you're a racist because you extrapolated your interpretation of the behaviour of a handful of people (i.e. those who sued Trump and are black) to an entire race.

The nature of Trump is that he relies almost exclusively on appeal to emotion, rather than the reasonable arguments that you desire. Tapping into, encouraging and formenting the groundswell of American anger - mostly against demonized minor

Indeed, and with regards to the environment, it's particularly worrying that Trump intends to reverse all the progress made so far in the US on addressing climate change. (Though to be honest, that's one of my lesser worries conce

It's like 1930s Germany all over again, except that Muslims are the new Jews. You'd think we would have learned from last time a racist, populist demagogue gained control of a nation. (Yes, I'm aware that "Godwin's
