Mass twitter bannings: when you try to silence people you can expect the worst

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

People need an outlet for their frustrations. They want to be heard. If they're not allowed to speak their mind, then expect them to lash out violently. Twitter is just the start of curbing speech.

These aren't pansies Antifa fags who can't throw a punch and only feel confident in a fight if they outnumber someone 6 to 1. We're talking about a lot of dudes with combat experience.

And, of course, this is what people who want to limit our rights want. They want people to lash out violently. They want an excuse. They want to say, "See!!!! This White supremacist organization that is headed by an Afro-Cuban wants to kill minorities!!! Save us, benevolent government!!!! Save us!!!" (The Proud Boys has many minorities. They're civic nationalists. They're not White Nationalists.)

I hope I'm wrong because the end result is restrictions on our rights.

Everyone should delete their twitter accounts. I was never on it, but I hear a lot of people are leaving.

Stab your Twitter!

[TheMaestro]

My account was literally erased and I can't get it back, sad thing is I didn't even say anything...

Who else got banned except Trump?

[Linebacker]

Think a lot of people were banned justly. I followed Trumps twitter because it was funny and he posted some lit memes from time to time.

But in his comments it was usually just a very toxic shitstorm of some very trollish or fake alt-right profiles straight up shitposting with 4chan stuff the people who actually tried to debate something in there.

This may have been a factor in why he got banned.

I was banned from Twitter for merely using the Esperanto language. LEL

Many people. I see multiple people complaining about losing followers all of a sudden. I've lost a few followers and a few people I was following are gone.

Twitter is a private company, so banning somebody is not a crime, nor an infringement on freedom of speech (just like banning somebody on The Apricity would not be an infringement on freedom of speech).

What is a crime, however, is incitement of violence. As is treason, FWIW

He didn't incite violence. You're most likely just another leftist. This forum is full of demons of the left hand.
