With all the stuff going on with the right being silenced on the internet. Feels like 1984 is coming to life even more. Yall read the book before? I remember the first time I read it when I was a teenager and then like 15 years later I read it again and I got this strange feeling like it was becoming real. If you haven't read the book check it out! Good read and creepy as hell it was written in 1949


So you are fundamentally against people being kicked out of businesses or denied business, for any reason? Even if they break all of the rules?

Conservatives used to have something to say about personal responsibility. Now it is entitlement entitlement entitlement.

Real censorship happened to WEB DuBois, not Trump.

Jack Dorsey cannot go to trump tower and demand to stay rent free.

Why do men seek to humor this giant toddler?

Do you think that the men who supported trump will want their man card back when this is over? They've all been cucked repeatedly. Forgotten what honor is with this fake tough guy.

People just may not see it with all the polarization and the controversy and the hypocrisy, but it is happening, not just censorship but an exchange of power. Im not talking of the election, fuck the election has never mattered less, ITS ABOUT MONEY. What board game are you playing? Shoots and ladders? candyland? cause theyre playing monopoly, the stocks, and you!

Not really an applicable analogy. If there were only one restaurant for us all to eat at, yes, we would probably need more stringent regulations on who can and can't eat there.

There are plenty of social media outlets to choose from, and others will let him use more key strokes.

It is applicable, and you're argument is more like comparing menus between restaurants, and is very entitled. Twitter doesn't have a monopoly over social media. Trump is cozy with Zuck, who lets him get away with all his excesses. You can even compare social media companies to sports teams and the analogy holds, instead of watching the Bengals just watch the Steelers and be a fag, etc.
