Today the thought people can't bear is no longer porn, it's anything remotely not woke. It's any opinion that even slightly diverges from their own.


This is demonstrably not true - have you been on Twitter? You'll find every extreme represented there. Including accounts/messages not globally removed but marked "illegal in Germany".


We don't have any issue with pornography though, just with people that pretend the holocaust are a pile of lies that never happened.


I’m not sure a minimum wage is a good idea.


So we keep hearing, ad infinitum, on every single platform open to public comment. It's amusing.


While shutting down any idea that is not 100% aligned in their own platforms. But it's okay, I believe safe spaces are important


I don’t think Trump is a racist.


A nice experiment:)


Not really. Downvotes are specifically intended for comments that don't contribute to the discussion, so downvoting these wouldn't indicate disagreement or censorship.


Doesn't matter what they are intended for. What matters is reality.

Based on my observations, quite a few people on this web site use downvotes to indicate disagreement or dislike. Many of them appear to hate Trump.


I felt like it contributed as it demonstrated the intended thought in a self-referential way.


You know there's a difference between Larry flint not being legally allowed to peddle smut, do satire etc. and people telling you they don't like your opinion and not giving you a platform, organising boycotts etc?

Also, I assume you are completely offended by fox news,OANN etc. lack of progressive voices? I agree, conservative media should open themselves up to platform more leftwing ideas in order to ensure diversity of thought. Similarly to the conservative subreddit, which is enforcing its groupthink the same way the literal communist subreddit is.
