The censorship of conservatives on FB and Twitter got me thinking

[Daerio]

So how do you know when someone says something they know they're wrong and when they just say something that they believe is right, but is incorrect?

Do I really need to explain to you the difference between a fact and an opinion?

Maybe that's why conservatives think they're being censored.

Oh, so people who outright say they have her automatically removed from follows and can't see her tweets/responses, it's all in their head aswell?
Keep drinking that kool-aid, i don't expect more from the biggest SJW on this site.


How about Robert McCain, is it all in his head aswell?

How about hashtags showing support to Mccain is being scrubbed?

Or how about

Imagine thinking Twitter as a company sits and singles out invididuals because they're getting butthurt. Imagine how stupid that sounds. It's a company made to make money. I'm sure Robert McCain said some vile shit since a quick google shows he's prone to do just that. This is fun, do you have any more conspiration theories?

People can have an opinion that they honestly believe on a whole host of topics.

Do you think people should be censored for denying climate change or supporting creationism?

If you disagree with the left you're called racist, it's the ultimate argument. No one wants to be a racist so they don't fight back.

The former's just a suspended account. Happens all the time. No evidence of any conspiracy.

The latter, no evidence backing that guy up, and regardless, a year-old tweet doesn't mean it's beyond action being taken on it if it broke the rules.

One of us is "drinking too kool-aid", but it ain't me. I'm asking you for evidence to back up your frankly conspiracy-laden claims, and you've got nothing. What evidence you have provided is as likely to prove you're wrong as it is to just be irrelevant.


If I had to guess, it's much the same thing we see here a lot of the time; people get upset they were banned "for being pro-life" or whatever, when the reality is they were banned for calling everyone who disagreed with them "murderous mong-faced shitbrains" or something. That's not being actioned for your political views, it's being actioned for acting abusively to other users.

Have you measured it since the dawn of time? Heck the Greeks even observed the Young are radical while the old are Conservative. Though as Peter Hitchens acknowledged, since the Baby Boom this has been less true.

Don't like facts so come out with a hyperbolic strawman, well done.

No, but when they post climate change data that they've altered (or straight up invented, which is very common) with the intent of deceiving the public, they should.

Here's a fun FACT: Opinions are just as protected as facts, you are not the arbiter of speech. (Also a fact)

If you disagree with the left you're called racist, it's the ultimate argument. No one wants to be a racist so they don't fight back.

If you disagree with the right you're called a SJW, it's not the ultimate argument, but it's an attempt to silence the opposition.

[Toosdey]

What censorship?

Would it not just be better to directly challenge them with the actual data? Censoring it, removing the post, means that no-one can know what was said and how it was wrong.

Facts are not protected. They're either true or they aren't. The truth is their protection.

Making shit up to mis-inform the public is not a 1st amendment right, it never was.

Are you going to claim Mark Kern is lying aswell? And are you going to stop shitposting?

Remember to use caps lock when typing FACT for effect.

How do you do that when it's already been shared 100,000 times on facebook, and people assume it's true without fact checking it?

Can you imagine what the results would be if a news station did the same thing, while reaching far less of an audience?

This whole thread is filled with shitposting.

Google southern strategy. There is a reason a sizable fraction of those on the political right get called out as racists - its because they are.

[Stormspellz]

I wish facebook would censor the garbage my aunt throws up.

This seems like simple conservative victim complex again.

This thread was never meant for honest discussion of any topic, just as a soapbox to take a few swings at the opposite political spectrum and start an argument and possibly flamewar. Closing this.



CLOSED.
