The Right Wing Thinks It's Getting Censored On Social Media

But it has nothing to do with being conservative or not. It has everything to do with hate speech. And since 2015 the use of hate speech on social media has increased 100 times.

Here's the thing conservatives- you are free to express your opinions. We have no problem with that. What we do have a problem with is the hateful memes, fake news, and garbage conspiracy theories. You can be a conservative without being hateful.

If you start posting crap from QAnon or 4chan, or say "liberalism is a mental disorder", or anything to do with white supremacy, or harass and stalk David Hogg or Nancy Pelosi, or Hillary Clinton, do you realize how hateful you are? You know it's not conservatism that's getting you banned - it's you.

So how about this? Stop being a hateful dick and we'll stop alerting on your posts, ok?

The Champions of the Corporate, Republican, Randian, Invisible Hand of the Free Market (NOW with their OWN FREE SPEECH RIGHTS) complaining about how their own rights are being infringed in a space controlled completely by an end - user license agreement that THEY FUCKING SIGNED.

If government were bigger-ENOUGH, their speech might have had a chance of being protected on the internet. Alas, they got exactly what the fuck they've been screaming they wanted for the last 50 years. When THEY figure that out, we can do something about Citizens United.

But i probably shouldn't hold my breath.
