Remember when people said "it's only extremists like Alex Jones" and "white nationalists", yeah well now Twitter has banned the president of the United States.

I'm not a supporter of Trump, but I'm yet to hear him explicitly incite violence. I know he encouraged the protest at the Capitol but I've yet to see evidence that he was hoping for it to turn violent? And if he did want that why did he speak out against it? He's also repeatedly said there will be a peaceful transfer of power.

Am I missing something here? I've been told I can be quite a naive person so perhaps I'm taking him at face value too much. Either way, I'd appreciate if someone could help me put my thinking right on this.

Also, does this mean we can expect Biden to be removed from Twitter if tweets anything in support of BLM? I'm not comparing events here but both protest groups have had pockets of violence. I suspect he wouldn't be and that points to a bigger problem here. If you think the wrong things like the election was conducted unfairly or you disagree with lockdowns, too bad, big tech will silence you online. If you believe conspiracy theories about Russian election interference or write a book called "in defence of looting" you're fine, you might even find you'll get praise from people in the media.

The president of the United States is in fact an extremist like Alex Jones and a white nationalist.

>and your support for police brutality

Show me where I supported policy brutality?

Here's a hint: NOBODY supports police brutality.

If you make it excuses for any and every instance of police brutality—which you’ve demonstrated you’re willing to do—you are effectively supporting police brutality. That is obvious, and for you play naïf when someone points it out is an act of bad faith. Please stop doing that.

Title is “ How Offshore Oddsmakers Made a Killing off Gullible Trump Supporters”

The part that was left out explains why the oddsmakers were able to make a killing and is therefore necessary.

This entire thread is just “are my opinions unethical? No, no it must be the entire team of professional ethicists who are wrong.” Only without the even momentary modicum of self-reflection that implies.

Work to elect politicians who will mobilize the apparatus of the state to fight climate change. It’s as simple as that.
