Anyone calling you an asshole for the abhorrent things that you say is not censorship, asshole.

How did you become so awesome because the amount of effort you dedicate in responding really shows? I hesitate to put this out there but your insight and logic shines bright like a lighthouse in guiding people to achieve a higher level of existence during our dark hours of ignorance. If there is such a thing as 9-D chess, you probably have been playing it for some time.

And yet the right-wing mantra is their free speech is being violated by censorship.

You're leaving out part of the complaint to create this strawman you're beating the shit out of. Meanwhile, the point is way the fuck over here -------> The freedom of speech complaints. In point of fact virtually ANY complaint or debate about private censorship included complaints about their freedom of speech being violated.

https://www.google.com/search?q=ale...pbhAhVoHDQIHW37DHsQ_AUIECgD&biw=1625&bih=1067

Picking cherries to build a strawman doesn't make you a winner. It just means you have a tasty strawman.

Once again you're babbling about who the fuck knows what. The point is exactly what I said and it was about censorship, not freedom of speech. I specifically said in my post that private companies are allowed to censor.

When stupid people complain they are being censored by a private company, lots of equally stupid people (like DrDoug) respond that it's not censorship because they are a private company. It is absolutely censorship. By definition. If they meant to say it doesn't violate their freedom of speech, then they should say that.

Sigh. But the right-wing is not just saying it's censorship. They're claiming their freedom of speech is being violated which means government censorship. This is universal; in their complaints. They are intentionally not making the distinction between private censorship and losing their freedom of speech because every last fucking one of them is publicly declaring their freedom of speech is being violated (government censorship).

But keep pickin those cherries and beatin those strawmen. Meanwhile, the adults will continue discussing the subject.

It’s not a matter of if I’m ok with it. I certainly disagree with it. But I stand by the liberal position that I may not agree with what you say but will defend your right to say it. The progressive position of labeling things “hate speech” and advocating for suppression of it is not something I agree with it at all. You are thinking I’m in agreement with the “hate speech” but I’m not.

Whatever leads to burning it down is fine by you. It's what you want.

You really are dumber than shit. They should start watering you three times a week. Maybe that'll help.

In post 39 of this thread, I got censored. By a private company. My freedom of speech was not violated.

Following so far?

I'm right wing. So much for "every last fucking one of them".

Somebody explain it to this fucktard.
The explanation is that, like almost every other wingnut, you insist on believing that any disagreement or disparagement of your speech must be the same as an attempt to suppress your speech. It's not.

Says the deranged guy who can't respond to anyone without rage'bursting a blood vessel.

Look, rage-clown, the OP never mentioned censorship. No one here has argued for censorship. This thread isn't about censorship, it's about right wing nazis on social media pushing racist lies in order to justify an agenda of mass murder and genocide. The reason why you and your ilk are trying to change the topic is because you are trying to censor people here (using your definition) from talking about what your ilk is up to.

Well then, every last one of the right-wing cults of personality on social media, YouTube and the right-wing media outlets.

But yeah, keep thinking it's all about you and projecting everyone else is stupid. I'm sure that makes you feel so much better.

His impotence is pretty obvious, isn't it?

He has no real control or power in his life, is probably an incel and feels real power by attacking people online.

Keep moving the goal posts you stupid fuck and maybe you'll eventually be right. Doubtful, but maybe.

No matter how stupid you think I am, it's still not censorship. They are not being prevented from saying what they want, they just can't say it in that place.

That's not censorship, dipshit, that's saying they don't have to host someone's bullshit. Get over it, crybaby.

Well, "censorship" gets used in different senses. The nature of the complaints from the right about private companies doing it implies it's being used in the stronger sense. In its broadest sense our entire economic system is dependent on it - to do anything about it would mean doing away with the concept of private property. So you seem to be playing word-games. Quibbling, even.

"Censorship" is one of those words, like 'respect' , that has a strong and a weak sense, and as with that word, a lot of arguments revolve around people muddling up the two senses.

You're even fucking dumber than I thought you were, which wouldn't seem possible.
I cut and pasted the literal definition of censorship. Have someone read and explain it to you. Twice.

People are very fond of posting definitions from reference sources, while failing to understand that written definitions are not the be-all-and-end-all of discussions and usually fail to capture every nuance of actual usage.

I found this ACLU write up about Censorship:

https://www.aclu.org/other/what-censorship

Frankly, it hits home. As usual, the Conservatives cries come from unambiguously faux concern. As a person raised evangelical, I've seen censorship abound in the Conservative world. I challenged many of my taught "beliefs" and silenced everytime. You can see the same thing in our country in many ways. Even more so in other countries, because when I say conservatives, I don't just mean Christians.

So now, when social media platforms force users to adhere to a ToS that doesn't allow for hateful words or intentionally spreading misinformation, we all get to beat this dead horse over and over again, because somehow Conservatives think that's going to change things.

Nothing of what I've seen so far challenges anyone's Free Speech. I see a bunch of cry babies who won't make the effort to get their bullshit spread on their own social media platforms.

Speaking directly WRT to nutter Jones, his main outlet is still up and in full swing. Go here to see all the latest "banned" video's: https://www.infowars.com/videos/#

And guess what, when you hit that site.....here's a list of all the other website's watching you:

1553339317364.png

Seems that cries of Censorship don't mean jack shit. So fuck off crybabies. Free Speech still intact.

Two can play this game, asshole. The fact that you find me to be dumber than you thought I was doesn't impress me a bit, you stupid fuck. First, as if I give a shit about what you think about me. Second, I'm not impressed with you interpreting your copy and paste skills as changing the fact that this is NOT censorship, fucknut. So what if you can copy and paste a definition, it still doesn't fit what you are claiming. This is the last bit of time I will waste on your pathetic ass on this subject because discussing something with you is like wrestling with a pig.

I'll leave you to wallow in your... pathetic, whiny ignorance.

Here's one more parting thought...

People talk while they are in a restaurant and they maintain a certain decorum. Step outside of that decorum and you are ejected and banned. Since this involves you expressing yourself and someone at a business establishment is preventing you from continuing doing so by ejecting and banning you, is this censorship?

No.

End of argument.
