Sorry if this is more fit for a debate sub, so this is the first place I could think of to post this.

So Twitter banned Mike Lindell. My thoughts towards Twitter banning right-wingers is that it’s not equal to left-wingers and anti-capitalists being censored and assassinated. And that because they constantly advocate for “If a baker won’t make you a cake go to a different baker or start your own bakery” and that their just the woman sobbing “I NEVER THOUGHT THE LEOPARDS WOULD EAT MY FACE” after voting for the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

Twitter shouldn’t exist, and socialism suppresses those who advocate for the bourgeoisie anyway. So I don’t give a single shit if right-wingers are getting banned.

What’s your thoughts?

    All this is is private property law, keywords: private property. When these private entities ban some fascists or right wingers it means nothing to me. These are not public platforms beholden to federal law but private ones. If a leftist platform banned any right wingers from its platform I wouldn’t complain because that is their right according to laws of private property; terms of service and all. Now of the federal government specifically in America created a social media discussion platform started banning folk they would be beholden to their own constitution because a federal public forum would be directly beholden to free speech laws.

    So to sum it up it doesn’t matter to me, socialists can create their own private platforms, and if the government shuts them down then that would be a violation of its own laws, especially if socialists engage in peaceful discussion and advocate for peaceful protesting and organizing. The red scare era was one of the most blatant government violation of the constitution in American history, only other time I can recall is the patriot act which came close.
