#twitterPurge Ans #Parler shutdown shows that many opinions are, to certain groups, unequivocally evil.
They can’t debate the ideas, so they equate them to terrible ones, then ban those who have them.
It is a way to control the dialogue. Linguistic control and suppression. 1/6
If you think that different life outcomes have a variety of causes, then you’re a racist.
If you think that people should be rewarded for their work, you’re a blood-soaked capitalist.
If you think immigration should be managed, you’re a xenophobe.
2/6
If you think a culture affects people’s success and character, you’re a bigot.
If you think free speech and dialogue is important, you’re a fascist.
If you think men and women are different, you’re a misogynist.
3/6
If you believe in the power of the individual and personal responsibility, then you are a racist nazi bigot who wants kids in cages and poor people to starve and women’s bodies controlled.
And who honestly believes a person like that deserves a platform?
4/6
These purges reflect the belief that it is better to shut these people up, rather than dialogue. Which means these ideas have NO merit or validity, to Big tech/far left.
They have decided which ideas are good, and which are evil.
5/6
And, surprise surprise, the ideas which are good and deserve a platform are those which they espouse.
Morality has been decreed for us. By them.
This is the danger. Giving private companies the authority to decide what IDEAS are good or evil is a dangerous precedent.

Many seem to think so. But I just read through his speech and can’t, for the life of me, rationally come to that conclusion.
I’ll walk you through it so you can see what I mean.
1/
Trump is not a great communicator. But like many politicians, he urges his supporters to ‘fight’ for their side. This is, clearly, not talking about physical violence.
He is clearly talking about being strong, about standing up for one’s convictions.
2/
Through his entire speech, he is drawing a contrast between ‘weak’ Republicans, and the ‘strong’ ones who are fighting. He wants to vilify those who are against him and extol those who are still with him.
1/ Covid is real. It’s a real virus with real victims.
But if there is anyhing I’ve learned from the last year, its that media and governments are more than happy to spread fear and conjecture, instead of good information. This is propaganda.
Time to set the record straight.
1a/ I am just a regular joe, who has set out to find what he can, for himself. I went to find primary source data, to parse out what I was able, with context.
If you are tired of panic headlines, or want to know why it’s sane to doubt them, then read on.
