What an age we live in.

Reminder: the last big alt right rally (the "mother of all rallies" ahaha) not only brought in 1/1000th of the turnout they said they wanted, they were massively outnumbered by the counter rally... and...
Wait for it...
An unrelated rally by Juggalos.
Any argument you had just fell over completely with these two paragraphs. Fuck me. Seriously?

Just two in an absolute sea of returns.
Well, let's look at the big picture; Facebook began as an American business entity but has become a global institution. Should Facebook be beholden to any particularly country? If Facebook chose to endorse ISIS, would that be considered treason? Same goes for Twitter. If either of these companies begin endorsing interests or ideologies that are contrary to the rights and freedoms of the American people, you could make the argument that their presence in this country should be brought to an end.
I'm outraged that they're specifically targetting white nationalists and completely ignoring all other kinds of degenerates. Like the speeding analogy earlier. Post and I aren't upset this guy got banned. We're upset that Twitter is picking and choosing who they ban based on politics. It's possible he wouldn't have been banned if going after white nationalists wasn't considered cool right now. And while Twitter is doing this witch hunt, other people with extremist ideologies are going completely unchecked. They're all breaking the rules, so why aren't all of them being punished? Because punishing white nationalists gets them attention and clicks and likes or whatever metric Twitter uses to determine how popular it is. And judging from your last post this is totally ok because 'free market.'
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
Precisely. There's far worse things going on right now than a bunch of angry people waving their fists and hailing back to some golden age that never existed and I just wish this fad would die so we can start looking at the things that are important. Like disaster relief and feeding starving families in South America.

I'm almost certain that I was being targeted by a meter maid a while back, because I never noticed people around me with tickets for the same violations. Edit: Yes, I did go down the whole street looking at everyone with the same violation.
Did I complain about selective enforcement? No. Because guess what, I still broke the rules. I don't get to break the rules just because someone else did and didn't get punished.

We can do all of these things at once, though.
There's no added argumentative value by the rest of your post, that's what I'm saying...
"No, you were still mad about a white supremacist getting banned" isn't a more convincing argument than "No, you were still mad."
It's sad that I have to explain this so thoroughly.
No it wasn't, try to read it again. Maybe a little slower.
Yet, you took the time to delete it, and said "See, you didn't say anything."
It's sad that you have to try and be so deceptive.

Are they completely ignoring other "degenerates?" I want to know what people you find to be as bad as white supremacists.
If you find a tweet you don't like, maybe you should report it to their moderators. I'm guessing you are also outraged that /The_Donald kicks anyone who doesn't say just what they are supposed to say.
Also, it's not a witch hunt, the guy is a racist and white supremacist. He spouts racist bullshit on their site. It's not a witch hunt to want the asshole gone. And yes, I am fine with a private entity booting people from its site. I have no problem if a store doesn't want to serve someone, that should be their choice. If you don't like it, don't use Twitter.
For the record, I'd like to know your thoughts on white nationalism and "racial realism."

Why exactly is this news worthy, or thread worthy for that matter? What do I care if some random schmuck gets banned on Twitter? And before anyone goes "if they can ban anyone you should be worried", but the problem with that is I don't use Twitter and if I did and they banned me honestly they probably did me a favor.
