Hate speech is whatever the elites disagree with.

Bravo! Now let’s see if Twitter flags me for RE-posting your TRUTH. We are all the same in that God created us all and created us all differently- man, woman, tall, short, black, white, yellow, etc. There are none of us who do not matter more or less or until some of us “matter” because we ALL matter as God’s children.

Posted to Twitter. Maybe it will percolate to the top?

The #thanksElon end to censorship was never meant for those that speak the truth.

Censorship has clearly increased for smaller voices and that is hidden under the smokescreen of self-elected leaders chortling about how they never had it so good.

Wear it like a badge of pride Abir, you've always been one of the honest ones

I have declined to delete my tweet and appealed to Twitter on the basis that this is my opinion as a psychologist and if Twitter supports freedom of speech then alternative opinion and societal debate must be allowed to help us resolve issues. I am yet to hear back from them.

Getting banned from social media often looks like a badge of real virtue now.

All the gender letters derangement nonsense is pushed by financial capitalism (unearned rentier parasitism) to cause divide and conquer, just like with politics, team sport, etc., to weaken the masses. Financial capitalism must be wiped out, just like it was mostly before, and no stragglers allowed this time!

I am looking down some deep rabbit holes at the moment*.

Some of the pieces seem to suggest that depopulation has been on the agenda for a very, very long time.

What better way to keep the population small, than transitioning children, poisoning their minds, demoralising and confusing everyone and then sterilising the population with super gene therapy juice.

Then banning everyone who dares to voice an opinion, while tracking the unjabbed using government agencies.

*Regarding the origins of World wars one and two, the Bolsheviks and some of the lies we appear to have been told for decades.

Our leaders in the West were not nice people and we certainly committed absolutely terrible atrocities of our own, such as Dresden and seemingly, Eisenhowers death camps.

I just had my Twitter account reinstated after 10 months blocked. It required persistent nagging on my part with appeal after appeal. But, I never change the word of the two tweets which caused me to get banned in the first place. That’s because not a word in them was untrue at the time… Or now!

They finally relented. But why did it take weeks after Elon took the reins?

I know that the UK has “hate speech” legislation, a ridiculous parody of a law as there is is plenty of good law already in place to deal with all kinds of speech violations. I’m not at all sure such a thing is legally recognised in the USA? We have collectively gone mad!

The overflowing of liberal tears are hard to stop. Any criticism at all, of anything or anyone, can be deemed harassment if it remains unchecked by critical thinking and open discourse.

@_JamBay_ had the same thing happen. He quoted (direct copy and paste/verbatim) someone's profile description back to them - and his account was suspended for "hate speech". Account is still suspended.

Well, I completely disagree with the ban. However, calling people mentally ill isn't aligned with good manners and with logical thought. People who are trans aren't necessarily ill. They may lack knowledge, they may lack intelligence, they may be narcissist but NOT necessarily ill.

It's an absurd that living in a democratic society where we claim that the opinion of majority should prevail biological women and men are being told to succumb to the minority point of view, especially when regards to something that Biology shows transpeople are mistaken.
