    I think the replacement is called "JustTwits." Something like that.

    Who the hell wants to leave twitter to join Parler other than a bunch of 55 years old and older white people.

    these rules are so Orwellian and nebulous, they can be used to ban whatever speech they disagree with

    I remember when Reddit was the wild wild west of free speech. Those days are long gone.

    these days the desire to ban undesirable political speech is the exclusive province of the left

    People forget, two sides are not inherently equally apart from a center of morality.

    If one group is saying kill gays and blacks, and the other is pushing for more social programs, it's not a respect both groups equally situation despite the "Pro Trumps" being banned while the "left" gets "massively favorable treatment".

    The same way 4chan had to take a stand and ban pedos, it's understandable for reddit to take stands to ban those being blatantly racist and homophobic. I don't see Clutch picking sides in the DD but if I constantly attack someone for their sexuality or skin color I'm certain I will be banned, and that wouldn't make Clutch a "lib cuck" who's trying to censor the right, right?

    It's super ****ing sadistic that the right accepts racism and homophobia as apart of the agenda to the point to where if they get banned for these things online, it's fundamentally attacking "the right". Congrats idiots.

    "Free speech" just means the government cannot put you in jail or otherwise punish you for expressing an opinion. Individual people and companies are not required to put up with your bullshit.

    Devin Nunes?
    Donald Trump?

    Neither of them want to ban certain expressions? RLY?

    It's a sad statement for our public schools that this many people think "freedom of speech" means "I get to say whatever I wanna and consequences will always be the same." No, it means you don't end up like Steve Biko, but as per all of mammalian history, dumbass statements and actions influence your standing within a social species.

    It's already been mentioned but conservative Parler bans it. Devin Nunes, Donald Trump, and other Republicans have taken measures to ban undesirable political speech.

    You're right that silencing and censoring opposing viewpoints is often legal. Doesn't make it right.

    It would never enter my mind to want to try and stop any political views from being heard. But on the left, silencing The Donald is seen as good and necessary.

    “They’re so unfair to us!!!”. What is it with this victim hood complex. Clutch fans is similar, and if clutch gives you the boot then you can whine about it elsewhere

    Yea man, god forbid people don’t let you say the n word or one step from it. Trumpeteers online are almost synonymous with white supremacists. Don’t play the fuccing moron
