When I was a reporter years ago, I didnât bother to report the ravings of a militia nut back in 1983.
Did I censor him? No, I just didnât write about a kook who bellowed the FBI was spying on him cause he refused to get a license plate. Seriously.
Poor snowflakes
So how come these guys arenât using their innate White Genius to create another platform thatâs biggerer and betterer?
So much for the master race.
Actually, its more like not wanting to spread the stuff Rednecks with hoods were screaming back in the 20s.
âFar-right activist Laura Loomer repeatedly compared the removal of her alliesâ blue check marks to the Holocaust, likening it to the Nazisâ âFinal Solutionâ to annihilate Europeâs Jewish population.â
Naziâs condemning Twitter for acting like Nazis?
Irony isnât just dead, itâs been abducted, tortured, strangled, dismembered, and buried in a shallow grave.
These throwbacks are welcome to stand on a street corner anywhere in America (except DC) and spout their fuzzy conspiracy theories. Only the gummint can censor, which is what Trump is trying to do to bona fide news organizations.
Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected whatâs to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes itâs a Ward officer. Youâll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Todayâs 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases itâs the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.
.
Why should Twitter repeat goofy stuff most of this country found repellent and fought against 72 years ago, just cause some nuts canât get over the idea?
What pathetic snowflakes.
Twitter should ban all of them for life. Who gives shit if they whine. They donât have the right to spread hate speech using other peopleâs property.
Private site that is widely used. Those who pay the bills make the rules.
Donât worry, Whiteys ⌠youâve still got Stormfront.
My favorite is still the hissy fit Baked Alaska threw in the parking lot of an In-And-Out Burger after getting his ass suspended. Some guy walking past told him to give it a rest and a British guy told him that Twiitterâs a private company. It can ban whoever it pleases.
Hope it felt like getting punched in the face.
They want to be verified? Fine. Letâs give them a little swastika with a white hood to verify they are Nazi/White Supremacist a$$holesâŚor maybe a tiki torch?
Guess theyâll have to go back to sticking mineographed screeds under peopleâs windshield wipers.
Thatâs pretty good. You like yellow stars so much? Hereâs your version.
"We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash, whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection." â Joseph Goebbels
Theyâre verifiable twits, as demonstrated by their freak-out. I feel their pain.
On a more serious note, I think this may be the best approach for Twitter, and (unfortunately) for the Racists (letâs be accurate, and not resort to all the euphemisms. Theyâre racists.)
If Twitter throws them out entirely, theyâll build and use their own messaging method, hidden from the rest of us. I like being able to see what the racists are doing. And theyâll worry more about the consequences of their actions, like job losses and collapse of funding.
On the other hand, if they keep their âverified twitâ status, the app automatically promotes them, giving them far more visibility than their numbers or influence warrant.
I think this move by Twitter is fine.
And until Twitter is 51% owned by racists who donât care about profits, Iâm sure theyâll pay exactly no attention to what I think.
What are you calling euphemisms? They put themselves out there as neoNazis. Certainly the âalt-rtâ is a stupid euphemism.
God it sucks being a white man right now. Thanks to all the white nationalists and misogynist pedophile sexual abusers for such great press. SighâŚ
