you may have not done anything but twitter, youtube, facebook, etc platforms all banned him. and milo getting banned for "bullying" leslie jones was laughable. he deserved to be cancelled for endorsing underaged grooming in the gay community, but that only surfaced after he went mainstream via supposed bullying.

i hate milo but how that all shook down was a bit of a joke.


I'm not familiar with Milo beyond knowing he was the right's token gay for a while. I didn't even know about the grooming stuff until I heard about it on here.... Is there, like, a compilation of tweets of his bullying I can find somewhere?

I have libertarian leanings so i believe people who ban who they want on their stuff for their own interests. Milo can be banned for bullying but the President can't so it isn't like it is a real functional limitation. If Milo was more famous or offered more or was better he wouldn't be banned.


that's hardly a perfect picture you painted. banning milo had limited drawbacks, banning the POTUS would cause widespread hysteria and back narratives that the left wants to censor people. and one is a troll political commentator, one is the president of the USA. when trump was in full bully mode on twitter against Obama twitter wasn't banning anyone, it was the wild west era.

basically twitter said he directed his fans to harass Leslie Jones based on how bad the ghostbusters all female adaptation was. they tied in b.s. anti-trans narratives because people were calling Leslie a man, and because Milo had a strain of statements conceived as anti trans, so the allegations stuck like glue.

Milo was just the gay less intelligent Ben Shapiro, he had the "gotcha libs, owned" type compilations from campus speeches where he faced off against lines of college students asking questions one by one. his only advantage to Shapiro was on the topics of homosexuality and to an extent trans issues he had "insider knowledge" and couldnt be labelled a bigot to his own team. similar to how shapiro cant be called a Nazi because he's jewish. but he wasn't nearly as smart as he pretended to be, and he had a feud with Shapiro that went back to their work together at Breitbart. its clear in their engagements from a neutral standpoint that Shapiro fucked Milo up hard. especially when Milo went full on team trump, moved further right into identity politics, and lost a lot of his credibility in the process. the further right he moved "some people think ____, and i can understand why they think that" became "i think _____ because its obviously right". he pigeon hole'd himself.

two different concepts I think
cancel culture is attempting to weaponize societal pressures to destroy someone, which just utilizes the same forces of judgmental society and reputation to attack people
deplatforming is a systemic form of censorship by technology, attacking the very ability to express yourself and trying to destroy the speech itself

cancel culture might try to threaten people into submission, but they're still free to speak their minds if they accept the closed doors. Deplatforming meanwhile tries to cut out their tongues to stop them from talking in the first place

Cancel culture just reflect on how moronic our society is and that we're no more civilized and enlightened than any previous generation. Like Thor said, its not really anything new, people have done it since the printing press. Now they've just accelerating it and have a wider lens to focus on one person at a time in rapid fire fashion, but its still the same mechanics. Deplatforming however is a direct assault on our liberties and trying to set precedents that will be used to erode the safeguards our nation was built upon.


Agree that cancel "culture" is a different subject, on the other hand hate speech and false information leading to hate speech is illegal in many countries, so fecebook or twister have no other choice than adapt or ... to stay silent/fall.

They would be treated that way if they were calling for genocide, mass extermination and promoting white replacement conspiracy theories.


You are aware of the fact that the far left killed more people than the far right? Google famine or gulags. Or Venezuela for a present day example.

The far left is just as sick as the far right and should be treated similar.

And btw all of your mass migration / all men are bad / all strait white mail are evil conspiracies ideas are just making the world a larger shit hole. Just saying.

Far right and far left are equally extreme therefor should be treated equally is what I'm saying.

We may have to go back on initial subject: illegal stuff in many countries: false allegations, accusations and hate speech... Figure out.

I always wondered about those people with purple and blue hair hating on so many other people. Yes I think we should take that into consideration.

What i dislike the most is voluntarily misleading people with false/bias information*, but this is hardly punishable.

*focusing on accusing a minority or ethnicity.
