If you really want to post about how vaccines make your blood cells broadcast 5G radio wave

oh, that's a great example, actually. as far as I vaguely recall from the times before the pandemic, expressing skepticism or criticism towards the government and corporations was not against the rules.

Twitter's rules enforcement is historically EXTREMELY casual

yes - for the privileged class, twitter does indeed "let some of that slide".

remarkably, those who bash him are the same people twitter has done everything to bend over backwards for. same on reddit, facebook, twitch, etc.

people on the opposite side of the privileged class are barely allowed to exist on those platforms - only if they police their speech very carefully to avoid breaking a myriad of vague and unwritten rules, and even then they're still subject to being unpersoned for some perceived offense committed off-platform.

english is not esperanto. it happens to be the native language for a significant part of the world population, and they have no obligation to accept its bastardization for the sake of inclusivity.

in every non-western country with its own language, those "some" would get rightfully ridiculed.

so those quotations would be unacceptable if they were aimed at any other group, regardless of context and without statute of limitation, correct?

I could make a point by citing some examples here, but I would probably get banned.

oh, they don't really hesitate to state that the lower the ratio of a certain group of people is the better. not just in the "melting pot" of the US, but everywhere in the world, including the countries where that group of people is the indigenous population.

Many of the Finns deported by the Lapua Movement were later caught up in Stalin's Great Purge and executed; while persecuted in Finland as communists, Stalin accused them of being "Nationalists".[9]

heh

If I were them, I would keep some kind of hash of any stuff they have translated, so that when they index it they know if its the output of their own translator.

that would be trivial to work around
