why am i not surprised that the same people who claim every criticism of israel's far right policies is an 'anti-semitic dogwhistle' somehow completely miss the context, origin, and implications of the 'it's ok to be white' slogan, and refuse to acknowledge any meaning beyond the harmless words themselves? reminds me of the 'all lives matter' crowd - i wonder if those people think they are 'cleverly' disguising their bigotry, or if they genuinely don't get it...

I think that saying "It's not racist, it's just a joke from 4chan that's conveniently easy for racists to use" is a pretty weak justification after the NZ shooting. It's very clear that there's a very poisonous strain of hateful rhetoric for which the 4/8Chan "Haha it's only ironic racism" bullshit is covering up, and I think that it's getting more and more clear to mainstream Americans that this bullshit that is being used to radicalize young men in the West is serious business that deserves pushback.
thank you. it's time to put an end to the retarded 'oh it's just a few innocent memes, i'm just trying to trigger some leftists' myth. nobody in that circle with half a brain could seriously deny the radicalising impact that constant toxicity has on their fellow edgelords and incels. after all, in that particular echo chamber it's a widely shared belief that simply following a certain religion makes you a threat, a lesser human being with a backwards culture, a terrorist...

in this particular instance, the people on the list arent critics, they are liars who are proven to spread misinformation.
not only is that factually wrong*, even IF it were right, it's still free speech. and what kind of ridiculous excuse is that anyway? trump ACTUALLY lied his fat orange ass off, not only during his campaign, but also during his presidency. he lied more than ANY other modern president, by a significant margin, yet i've never seen you support the idea that he should be silenced for his untruthfulness - double standards through the roof again.
*according to what we know so far, the mueller report finds that there is no evidence of trump directly colluding with russia (the financial ties trump lied about and the close relations his campaign leadership had with russia are conveniently ignored by the cult), and the bizarre celebration of that finding (alongside the numerous attempts to discredit the probe during its existence) perfectly illustrates that it was by no means expected, not even by his most loyal supporters.
the findings concerning the obstruction charges are even weaker. mueller merely concludes the evidence is not sufficient to charge a sitting president. unsurprisingly, you cultists uncritically accepted the transparently biased conclusion of barr (a trump lackey who positioned himself for his job by clearly signaling his unwavering loyalty and willingness to ignore common sense and objectivity, and was ultimately picked exactly for that reason), and hilariously misinterpret it as proof positive of trump's innocence in that regard - that doesn't make it a fact though.
in light of that it certainly was far from far-fetched, unreasonable (let alone a deliberate spreading of misinformation) to come to their conclusions just based off trump's behaviour and statements on national tv (as well as his tweets).
