Opinion Can We Stop Using 'Liberal' as an Insult?

[nac386]

It's why we don't let women speak in church.

 

[Falsedawn]

Why aren't we allowed to openly support the president?

Why do you support gazillion dollar corporations deciding what we can or can't say?

That's not freedom.

You are allowed to openly support the president.

You're not entitled to use Twitter to do it.

Get the fuck over it, jesus.

Gotta love the mental gymnastics here

1st amendment is only protecting you against government censorship, nfl like Twitter is a private company n as such should be able to decide how they run their business, right? You’re not entitled to play in nfl

As for violation of “equal treatment”...

It’s not like they sell gay cakes to straight ppl, but not to gays. They simply do not sell gay cakes. But even then, as a private business they should be free to do whatever they want, right?

He thinks he can discriminate against ppl who have different political views, but if somebody goes to court, they’ll probably win the case against political discrimination

Federal law does not ban discrimination on the basis of political grounds. Your state laws might address it, but on the federal level, nada.

You're not entitled to twitter, they're not required to affirmatively give their consent to you to use their platform, and no amount of tears is going to change the laws to be considerate of your feelings.

Please though, keep trying to silence Twitter's right to not endorse speech by allowing it on their platform. Surprise! Your bitching about being entitled to Twitter is a violation of THEIR constitutional rights.

Get the fuck over being completely deplatformed, having your payment processors declined, becoming blacklisted, and practically watching your entire livelihood evaporate because of wrongthink.

...but at least the government isn't censoring us.

The Constitution wasn't meant to put rules on society, it was meant to put rules on the government. Society has long dictated the bounds of acceptable discourse throughout American history. That you're now learning that nobody in our society wants anything to do with you is an indictment of you, not society.

As opposed to the protected classes, this is something you can change. If you don't want to be a societal outcast, then get in line. Otherwise, keep your views and float on. But trying to bend society to accept you isn't it, chief. Didn't work for manlets, hockey fans, or Steve King.

Society has stated that you don't have a place in the Overton window. If you have an issue with that, that's on you frankly.

What's more anti-semitic. The women's march, or a neo-Nazi rally?

Follow up, is a women's march anti-semitic at all or is that just a crazy smear?

These answers are obvious, of course. I'm just trying to find somebody to say something sane. Otherwise I better tell my Jewish friends who were at the women's march that they are actually anti-semites. Even worse than neo-Nazis!

sorry for delay, got busy AF here.

a neo-Nazi rally obviously.

however, the women's march will be completely sullied and undermined if people like Linda Sarsour are among their ranks.

and it's even more disgusting that those libs who actually bring this, are attacked for it.

Yes, we have learned that it's acceptable to call Jews termites and call for the genocide of white people. That will get you verified on twitter.

You don't honestly believe the bullshit you are saying, do you?

WAIT WAIT WAIT A MINUTE.

You're crying about how social media is SO ESSENTIAL and how this is your LIVELIHOOD...and then it's not representative of society?



So why are you crying? If Twitter is a liberal cesspool, why do you want to post there? Furthermore, if Twitter isn't a representive section of the greater set, what importance do you attach to it that you think your first amendment rights are being violated by you not being allowed to use it?

Fucking lol, this is where you goons haven't thought this shit through. Twitter is so powerful that they're silencing you, but they're also so unimportant because it's only liberals and the SILENT MAJORITY knows better.

Schrodinger's Twitter. Just beautiful.

I've noticed that the word 'liberal' has basically turned into a slur over the past decade. It seems like when the word gets thrown around, it's usually targeted towards the crazies on the far left and the SJW movement.

Here is the best definition of liberalism I could find and the one I personally identify with:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty and equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support civil rights, democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion

That's where it begins and ends for me. This new breed of liberals are not liberal. I don't know if I would even consider them on the left.

The SJWs for instance are blocking certain speakers on college campuses, promoting authoritarianism, socialism, safe spaces, anti-freedom of speech, identity politics, anti-freedom of press, anti-science, oppression as a virtue and some religions being more protected than others.

How in the world are these people liberals? They are the antithesis of being liberal. I prefer to call them 'Illiberals' or 'Regressives'.

I think most actual liberals are described by my definition and sit on the left of center. Unfortunately, it's the illiberals that make the most noise, grab the most headlines and make it seem like they are the majority of the left. They aren't and we shouldn't let them hijack the ideology.

It comes down to perception, one's own bias towards a political leaning etc..

Most people would classify Hillary as a liberal but I would not. To me she is an establishment shill who was only interested in being the 1st president. The Clintons and Blairs are just globalist establishment shills who feigned a liberal worldview.

Answer me this, why is an anti-semite like Louis Farrakhan allowed to post on twitter and refer to Jews as termites while Laura Loomer is banned for criticizing female genital mutilation?

Do you support people like that controlling speech on the internet?

How are they simultaneously unimportant and also "controlling speech on the internet"?

I'm not referring to myself. I'm referring to people like Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Gavin McKinnes, etc who have been completely erased from the internet. Why are you okay with that while actual terrorists are still allowed to use these platforms?

You're just biased and you don't believe in free speech. That much is obvious.

 

[ShadowRun]

You’re right TS , liberals are for peoples freedom of speech we should be calling these progressive SJW loons far left or just the left.

Who the fuck said they are unimportant? There's like three companies that practically control all of the information on the internet and they are biased as hell. If you can't see the problem with that, you're a moron.

I wish you were trained in an IT discipline so you could know how retarded this statement is.

You realize there was a question mark at the end of that right?

Didn't you know? The internet resides in Santa Clarita California, and owned by a guy named Rick. Fucking Rick, controlling all the information for the Jewish bankers in the mountain vault and the Lesbian Dentist Cartel (c).

 

[Falsedawn]

So then what's your objection to society dictating standards, as society has done since time immemorial?

Let me guess, you don't get to say all the bad stuff on Tweety, so it's their fault.
