EU threatens banning Twitter after Elon Musk buys it

Mentioning that gays ought to be able to get married was offensive to most 20 years ago, even to Obama.

I'd be careful with trying to ban all offensive speech. Your society just might stop progressing...

 

Society would never progress at all if some conservatives had their way.

 

It would n't progress at all if not for conservatives. A society needs both liberals (for new ideas), and conservatives (to resist changing according to dumb ideas) to function. All liberals would result in chaos, and all conservatives would result in a stagnant society.

 

Because to you folks telling a guy who is dressed up like a woman that they’re a man is hate speech.

 

Reminds me of a South Park episode.

 

What business of yours is it who dresses how?

 

we will all have to wait and see if Twitter changes or not, and for the better or not.... too soon to tell

I do not think Musk will become a "Mr Pillow" head

 

Unlikely under current Chinese administration. But things were headed that way in China before it.

 

I dumbed down something I heard from Jordan Peterson discussing the dynamics of conservativism and liberalism.

 

None unless they are a part of a movement that uses the power of the government to compel me to certain speech.

 

Doubt.

 

And what speech is that?

Words like... 1st mocking how they dress, to then comment that there might happen something bad to them if they stay around.
Something intimating like that?

Well, we know who ISN'T supporting free speech. The global Left sure feels threatened by the free exchange of ideas.

The West already had free speech.

What they're fighting is the insanity propaganda sets off. Social media has turned out to be a great tool for doing that.

"The medium is the message."

 

Yeah. Keep on saying that while right wingers ban CRT and LGBTQ messages in schools, for the sake that white Christian kids wouldn't feel bad what their parents and grandparents did.

 

CRT and trans grooming have no place in schools. The kitchen D's are there for an education, not and indoctrination.

Like when Lori Lightfoot made her call to arms?

 

All I see is you as a right winger agreeing free speech must be limited when it's up to you, while you accuse the left of doing what you support. lol

Did she go into a supermarket and kill 10 people?

Unlike you guys, we know how to use metaphor.

The idea of civilisation is balance. A lot of things need to be regulated, social media is clearly one them. So we need to balance the good against the evil, and some sort of limits need to be placed on the psychotic.

She invited violence. Did she not?

 

Nope.

Google metaphor.

 

She invited violence and if someone answers her call to arms, she should be charged with inciting violence.

 

Her vocabulary includes metaphor, even if yours does not.

Btw, over the top political rhetoric goes back to the 1960s (it goes back further, but I became politically sentient in 196 with phrases like War on Poverty, War on Drugs.

Believe it or not, we didn't send the army in on either occasion...

 

So, when Trump said he was going to fight, it was a metaphor?

 

Bullies are cowards.

But he did want his Death Cult to fight.

 

Oh no! It was a metaphor...lol. See your partisan hackery?
