And so the left's campaign for censorship comes back to bite them. Who could have predicted that?

I guess this is a good thing in that the worse censorship gets, the more people will realize we need decentralized web services.

Any statement of the form "[Racial identifier] men/women/people are [criticizing adjective]" is per se racist.

If one wants to argue that wide-ranging systemic racism is worse than incidental one-off racist comments, I totally get that and I'm inclined to agree. But trying to redefine "racism" to exclude racism against a certain group is not acceptable.

1984 was a cautionary tale, not a how-to guide. If a proposed method of political argument requires redefining the English language, that should give one pause.

Incredible. You honestly spun it so that the person who is the victim of racism is in fact to blame.

The person in the article said “white people are so fragile”. That’s a racist statement, so no spinning needed.

Pointing out racisim on both sides is not excusing it from either one.
