Conservatives aren't on twitter?  I read a lot of conservative stuff.

Sure they are on Twitter, as long as they walk on eggshells and don't talk about any of the forbidden topics.

Why is the right wing so supportive of Musk buying Twitter? He is everything you people dislike. He's in favor of free speech, all free speech. He  supports alternative energy development with an eye to a completely green society. He hates guns, he's an agnostic and he a foreigner.

 

Be careful in your zeal to think Twitter will be any better just because it might allow hate back in. You may want to look at the bigger picture here. The guy taking over is your worst nightmare.

 

 

Dumbest post of the week.  What alternative universe do you live that leftist are the ones who support free speech?  How could you be anymore oblivious to reality?

I mentioned to you in another thread that you have an outdated notion of Democrats; they no longer uphold liberal values like free speech, quite the opposite.  I didn't see a response although I may have missed it; if so my bad.

And I'm disappointed with your "allow hate back in" comment, that seems pretty blue-check lemming and beneath you, and beneath your apparent love of free speech.  It's not hateful to object to the encouragement of confused kids to take puberty blockers or get genitals removed.  It's not hateful to question the cardiac issue which have arisen from the vaccines.  It's not hateful to ask about Hunter Biden's laptop on the eve of a presidential election, only to have it suppressed in any way possible.  Just a few off the top of my head, there may be more. 

I find it difficult sometimes to understand the message when it's being delivered by certain messengers. I was trying to subtly take a swipe at people who have been seeing this buyout as a win for free speech, but only when they think their message has been suppressed and will now be allowed back on Twitter. 

 

And how is any of this right wing dogma germane to anything I posted?

All of these topics get tweeted about a million times per day. I have no idea of what your point is.

I was merely trying to point out that Musk is about as anti-hero as the Right would ever want, but if it allows The Mean Tweeter back, they're on board. Short sighted and stupid if you ask me.

There have been hundreds of thousands, many for simply being followers of the 'wrong' people.

It’s interesting to see how they “progressed” with their suspensions starting in 2020.

good lord, you are delusional.  Try tweeting anything about COVID which is not FDA-approved.  Try tweeting anything about January 6th which isn't supportive of the armed terrorists insurgent narrative and see how long the account last.  Also, don't follow too many conservatives or you will get banned.  Views which oppose the government or woke narrative get banned.

I can see how they banned people during covid.  I followed Alex Berenson until he got banned.  He was interesting.  His stuff at substack kinda got old.

Some of the other covid stuff was dangerous, but they did go too far in banning people.

the right wing doesnt dislike green energy, we just don't believe everything is about climate change, nor do we think it needs to be implemented yesterday to stop the world from ending

research into cleaner coal/oil/NG exists and has improved 1000x in cleanliness, things like graphine are created which utilizes co2 to create things

he doesn't hate guns, he believes in the 2a, he invented a flame thrower ffs, who cares what his religion is, and nobody on the right hates foreigners, as long as they come here legally

hell most people on the right don't hate illegals personally either

It was a publicly-traded company but “private” in the sense that it obviously wasn’t a government institution.

Now it will be totally private with very little regulation.

Ironically, the First Amendment doesn’t apply to private companies and they can restrict quite a bit—something morons like HT have never understood.

You mean Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996?

That’d be a pretty dumb opinion, since this forum couldn’t exist without it. Or Twitter, or Facebook, or pretty much any online discussion medium

Sorry, I was trying to have an open discussion on these topics.  If your position is that, for instance, Hunter Biden's laptop was a topic for discussion on Twitter back during the election involving your Mean Tweeter, I've got nothing. There is no intelligent conversation to be had.

Well, he says he’s going to. Of course he didn’t have to. At least he’s saying he will. The old crew wasn’t even trying it hide it. 

[vomit 502]

See this is what you idiots don't understand.  The internet is free and open for any idiot to spew any BS they want.  If a service like Twitter decides they don't want the worst of the worst, then thats their right.  There will always be another place for idiots to spread Bs.  On 4 Chan you can say whatever you want.  Conservatives get kicked off Twitter, they can start their own site like parlor.  Thats America!  You don't like CNN, go start foxnews.

It's childish to whine like faggits over this.

[Voltaire 5,317]

Well this is a great day. I may attempt to get an account there. I never did previously because technology intimidates me and I can never figure anything out. Same reason I never load videos on YouTube or make a Facebook page or post anything on torrent sites.
 

I was in China for ten years before I got a British boss who taught me how to illegally download sh*t. Well not technically illegal since our asses are in China where US copyright laws don’t apply. Even then, half the sh*t I download, I never figure out how to open or use anyway.

Now that I respect the ownership there, I’m feeling compelled to see what the big deal has been about.

democrats have never ever upheld free speech.  it only looked that way because they controlled all the major newspapers and the 3 TV networks.  they falsely pinned the great depression on hoover when roosevelt caused a crash to turn into a depression with crippling taxes on business.  they falsely blamed nixon for vietnam when we were knee deep in it for years and nixon got us out.  the democrats go unchallenged on these pivotal events because they controlled the entire press.

It's cute that you think the internet is free and open. Because it's not. Just start your own (insert whatever) is total BS when the apple and Andriod stores won't host your app because it doesn't agree with free and open speech. When Banks won't allow you to bank. When ISPs block your site from loading. The internet is not free and open at least not anymore and hasn't been in a long time. The fact you think we have anything free and open anything says a lot about your childish view of the world.
