It's even sadder than that honestly, it's actually "I suspect that my post wasn't recommended as hard as it could have been"
This isn't even a joke. There's pretty much a caller on LBC saying this word for word
This is amazing, the only thing I have found close to this is in the US is when CSPAN allow callers. They don't even need questions, they often twist themselves in knots on their very own.
I CAN'T SAY WHATEVER I WANT says man who constantly says whatever he wants
some people misinterpret "freedom of speech" meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn't going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.
Another way to say that is: Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences your speech elicits in others.
Freedom from government censorship, not freedom from societal shame.

You also aren’t entitled to a platform. A website not letting you post something isn’t about “freedom of speech.”
I don't want push back when I speak!

Freedom loving conservative™: Speak your mind it's your right to say things even if it offends people
Me: The 50k dead Palestinian civilians won't bring back the dead Israelis from Oct 7th
Freedom loving conservative™: HOW DARE YOU, YOU ARE A TERRORIST SYMPATHISER AND YOU DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED, THAT SORT OF SPEECH SHOULD BE BANNED
Honestly, hardly anyone I know IRL knows specifics about Israel and Palestine.

When conservatives whine at you like this, just remind them that they are in a cult. When they get mad at you, accuse them if 'censoring' your free speech.
Go further than that, tell them they're mindless sheep, that they're cucks to the ruling class, that they fall in line to whoever makes them feel good and don't have an independant bone in their body. Remind them that Trump had 4 years with full control and accomplished zero of his promises, and that they're idiots for falling for the same trick. Remind them that they're the loud, stupid, obnoxious ones who have to be placated by the world or they throw a tantrum. Tell them when Trump dies nobody will remember the people who supported him and nobody will help his followers when they're in trouble.
Seriously, we have to take gloves off and find ways to hurt them on a deeply personal level. Because we should have been doing this from the start. Because it's all they really understand.
I told a former schoolmate that he was acting like a snowflake and he lost his freaking mind. I expected it to bug him but holy crap.
This is what I wish more people on the left understood, that they are GIVING us their vulnerabilities every time they open their mouth and we're ignoring every opportunity.
I can cite so many examples of this. Like, you can literally just call them the thing they hate and it will set them off to a degree that I think would startle most non-conservatives.
It's because to normal, well-adjusted, adult humans, being called a "cuck" by a stranger is just funny, it's like being "booed" by a stranger, it's more weird than anything personal or offensive. But the reason he's using that word against you is because he himself is deeply, profoundly sensitive to the word and all it implies.
They get massively triggered by specific words, and the left is always overthinking it, trying to come up with "smart" ways to fight and debate. When all you have to do is call them "weak sissies with no chin too dumb to know how voting works" and you will make their faces melt in rage, they will literally think about it all day. It doesn't even matter if it's accurate, and it certainly doesn't matter if someone on "your side" thinks it's problematic to use gendered slurs or ableism. It's time to start twisting the knives out there.
This. So much this. Im tempted to try at the House just to see how well a campaign built on exactly this and progressive economics works
That would be FANTASTIC, I don't know if you mean state house or federal, either way, imagine if every election there were more leftist/progressive candidates running than unopposed conservatives? I say this ALL THE TIME, that you can make a much bigger impact on your country by being more involved with politics, not less.
Learn who's running in your town, your county, your state, get to know your neighborhood, find out what people are thinking about, talking about, who they trust and not, just gather information and get practice being social and making friends. You can do so much to ensure that the people who prop up the foundations of our federal systems are people who actually represent us.

This is a very 2002 take.
Modern Conservatives just scream the N-word at the top of their lungs
Nah. We're not totally there yet.
A lot of them still need to dehumanize others by saying they eat pets first, pretend they're criminals and make them enemies by claiming they're stealing jobs
Over time, it will become normalised and an entire new generation of f wits will emerge
You mean crazy, hateful, transphobic racist ones?
Why are you being so divisive?
I'm just going to assume this is sarcasm, because otherwise, my hope in humanity starts wavering

Fasten your seatbelts. We enter the Hard R Zone.
Not as enjoyable as the Twilight Zone.
Yeah this isn't even going to be close to reality in about two months.
It isn’t now. Go watch a science video on Facebook and read the comments. Every time I report all the idiots, and every time Meta decides not to remove the blatantly hateful, false information.
dude I keep forgetting Facebook exists until someone talks about it in present tense and it gives me a little surprise. it's like someone saying they looked something up on askjeeves

All humans are equal, some are more equal than others.
"Somebody disagreed with me! Conservatives are a persecuted class just like Christians and black people and those other races!"
