Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.
The problem is that most of the blocking is simply because people don’t like the speech. This is a huge concern for any liberal democracy. Free speech is a right, and that means speech that one doesn’t necessarily like!
this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?
I think you mean — speech you don’t like. Where do you draw the line?
it’s sometimes hard to remember there are people who take that view.
Many people have this view. Us on the Fedi are unique in that we don’t, or didn’t before the mass Twitter émigré occurred.
Afraid to learn something you didn’t before? Such a silly attitude!
Common sense is that there are only two biological sexes.
Whatever that means.
Interesting, you can reply to what is supposed to have been deleted by the mod. LOL
Well, that’s your loss then.
It’s the content on the printed page, dear reader, that one critiques, not the owner. Did you actually read the article?
LOL Yeah, okay whatever you say, grasshopper. Anybody who works/or has worked there definitely aren’t right wing. 🤦🏽♂️ The author is making the point that they’ve moved to being more neoliberal.
Don’t think you got the gist of the message.
It’s based on common sense, which isn’t so common anymore.

Well, I’m a lefty and anybody with any common sense knows that this is wrong. It’s just critical thinking skills that are missing, in my opinion.
This entire controversy reminds me of the repressed memories episode we had in the 80s. The social worker/psychiatry medical profession attached great credence to these so-called repressed memories. People were tried and convicted on this “science” which was eventually found out to be junk “science” under rigorous scientific examination. I know personally of an individual who was convicted and later pardoned due to this trash “science”. These social issues need to be critiqued and investigated seriously before implementation. Unfortunately, in North America it’s more of a political thing than a scientific based idea. Eventually, it will be determined to be as junk science by western medicine, as repressed memories were. It’s just common sense. That’s why critics are so rigorously silenced — the proponents of this gender “science” know that it is shite. Adults are free to do what they wish to their bodies, but we should never be doing gender reassignment to children under the age of majority (18 years old) at a minimum. Children’s brains aren’t mature or developed enough to be making these profound decisions for their body. Neither should the parents be allowing this, child abuse.
Yup and the world only cares because they happened to white skinned rather than brown!
3 separate strikes over a mile isn’t a mistake. Israel is an apartheid fascist state, let’s not fool ourselves otherwise. People need to learn what Zionism actually is.
Not correct. It’s a human right regardless whether you believe it or not. https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/freedom-expression-fundamental-human-right#:~:text=Freedom of expression is a,Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Just because America doesn’t allow free speech on their social applications doesn’t make it right. Pull your head out of your arse. Yelling fire when there isn’t a fire isn’t an example of free speech you moron! We’re talking about political free speech.
