Thought this was going in another direction, so I'll take it there. Something that annoys the living crap out of me is how so many people think they should be free to tell me how great homosexuality or atheism or "whatever" are, yet get their panties in a bunch when I try to tell them, or someone else, how great they're not. If you feel free to promote, or tear down, something, others are equally as free to do the opposite. Granted, there are far too many people like that on both sides of every fence, including myself at times, but it sure seems TO ME that it is much great on one than the other.

I don’t mind that you are against them.
it is the restriction of rights that you think is ok that is a problem for me.

No ****, sherlock.

No one is going to get mad at you for being OK with black people, but they will get mad at you if you say that black people are bad.

How is this a shock to you?

Oh yeah, this is going to end well.

Can't wait til my leftist overlords create "re-education camps" for those that misgender, use wrong terminology, or dont believe in the holy doctrine of social justice!
Do you think people who burn the flag should be given the death penalty?

YouTube now trying to censor Steven Crowder.

The left's motto: all dissent must be silenced.

The left's ascendency is akin to Christians taking over the Roman empire Circa 306 CE. Much art will be destroyed. Count on that

Of course you're a Crowder fan. Of course.

My dude. Crowder broke TOS multiple times. YouTube has actually been charitable to him. His account should have been suspended long ago.

I don't watch Crowder's show, I care about free speech and the right not being unfairly targeted.

Not a 1A violation if the government is involved, firstly. Secondly, he's not being "unfairly targeted," he broke TOS and many have been banned for less, finally, there's zero evidence to my knowledge of conservatives being systemically targeted on social media.

Reminder not to give a couple of one-off examples, unless you think me listing some black people killed by police is evidence of systemic racism.

Also, even if it was true that the left hated free speech or whatever, and they express this through social media, we know that conservatives act the same way (actually, worse). Death penalty for flag burning, or just look at ******* Parler. They ban leftists. You can be a Trump supporter on Twitter, you can't be a socialist on Parler.

lawyer Bill Richmond is seeking an injunction against the ban while they prepare the law suit. He goes into detail on the podcast version of the show today. They believe they can show that Crowder has followed YouTube's own stated rules, and that you can't just destroy someone's business on a platform without an actual breach of rules.

For those who don't know Louder with Crowder is the most popular news podcast, with well over a million views/listens a day across the platforms. Their 2020 election stream had more viewers than any mainstream news coverage.

And Twitter. A PRIVATE ENTITY, has the right to boot him from the platform. Exactly like a store doesn’t have to serve you if you don’t wear a mask or they don’t have to bake you a cake if you’re gay. “His” platform is NOT “his” at ALL guitarhack. He’s using SOMEONE ELSE’S.

He WILL lose in court and you’ll ALWAYS be a bad faith bullshitter.

As a one time liberal it makes me so sad to see what's become of the left. Pro-censorship, pro-corporate, anti-free speech
5/18/2021 12:01 PM
you were a one time liberal? were you also a one time thinking human being?

BULLSHIT on Crowder getting more viewers than mainstream news coverage, I would bet a year's salary against that being true.

If they sue and win, cool, good for them. Glad the leftist government protects free speech, unlike the "death penalty for flag burners" Trump administration.
