This is just not what authoritarian means.

she/he thinks Washington, Adams, Monroe, Franklin, Lincoln, Eisenhower, Rosa Parks, MLK Jr etc. were ‘authoritarian’

I hope big tech does more of this to be honest. People who foment an insurrection need to be banished to the digital wilderness. We need institutions to clamp down on this stuff, otherwise we may very well have some sort of Civil War in the future. We could wake up one day with half the country as deranged and violent as those who stormed the Capitol.

Not sure, big tech must be dismantled, or law must be changed, because later, much later, it's very possible you regret what you just said (in bold).

I think the last 4 years have numbed people to such an extent that they aren't capable of taking the right-wing extremist threat seriously. Yet, they are still hyper sensitive over the threats from the left. If you look at the reaction over Trump's twitter ban vs. the insurrectionists at the Capitol, it's clear which issue upsets and offends the right more.

The safe bet is the right-wing in this country continues the downward spiral they are on... and institutions need to step up and work to combat that. If Big Tech goes too far, reasonable people on both sides can call that out. Far too many citizens on the right have poisoned minds.. and these people are making it impossible to have a healthy democracy.

The stuff I've heard in the last 72 hours—from members of Congress, law enforcement friends, gun shop owners, MAGA devotees—is absolutely chilling.

We need to brace for a wave of violence in this country. Not just over the next couple of weeks, but over the next couple of years.

there has been non-stop “peaceful protest” rioting, destruction, and violence over the last 12 years (especially the last 4) by people like you mostly. it really went into overdrive in 2017 https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/22/politics/trump-inauguration-protesters-indictment/index.html

some of us have condemned it all entire time. you were in support until Jan 6 2020.

The Capitol rioters are already being arrested and charged.

You advocate broken institutions deal with the issue by cracking down on people with views you see as dangerous. Pretty much guaranteeing further escalation.

"Its ok to censor the president because hes dangerous" is just the largest step on the spiral downward we've been on and you're embracing it with open arms.

“its okay to censor xyz group because of the people in the group, as they are dangerous”
“its okay to put “markers” on the people in xyz group so we can easily identify them, because they are dangerous”
“its okay to ship xyz group off on one-way train trips and give them permanent markers, because they are dangerous”

-the rhetoric of useless anti-american racist homophobic anti-semitic scum like that little he/she/thing icepeon
