Yeah. All those left-wing vegetarian hippies are well known for their homophobia and racism...

🙄

Is Saturday your clown day shav. So in your simple world there are just right wingers and vegan hippies. Sounds lovely

Like facebook it is a privately owned company. Didn't they both sell out their base? They both banned things people didn't like being banned. Why is one right and the other wrong?

Yes their business model is almost a replica of facebooks but do you no know why they turned on RobinHood. Was when they were facilitating the rescue of GamsStop or when they stopped facilitating because it was really grinding hedge fund gears.

Most of BLM is. But most of BLM is still free to post on Facebook. But there certainly are some elements in BLM that believe you can make America safer by inciting violence against any and all white people. Not many, but a few. Like some people here I refuse to do Facebook, so I cannot and will not even attempt to check this, but I would not be surprised if any part of BLM that got banned from Facebook was or was too closely allied with that part, not with the unviolent majority.

Agreed
I don’t do Facebook either even though I was coerced / tricked into opening an account I have never logged in.
But incitement to racial violence of any hue should be unacceptable on any public forum.
As for Black Lives Matter it’s a politically and racially disparate group of people with a simple truism in common.

They’re wanting to speed liberal change according to the methods flowing from critical race theory.

And I have no problems with that.
However, taking the polarisation of society and a deadly pandemic into consideration, one needs to reflect on how useful it is to pressure more people into a feeling of resistance.
History shows that pressure upon pressure does not equal more diversity and inclusion.

Everything needs time.

Read it again duchess I’m sure we are saying the exact opposite. We are saying there is no such thing as a ‘BLM member’ BLM is a chimera and anyone that does incite racial violence should be judged individually for that aspect of their personal politics. Not as a member of a non existent membership. White dominated media is irrelevant it’s the right wing media that would like to stain the basic message of BLM by portraying it as a violent Marxist organisation even though it’s clearly not Violent, Marxist or an organisation, it’s a movement if it’s anything at all.

I do not advocate wait.
I advocate taking time and easing off constant pressure.

Or you’ll end up with fascism.

Is it? You don’t think there’s a correlation between poverty, fear and change being forced upon people... and their behaviour?

You think the neo-fascism is just popping up out of nowhere? That there is no cause for it?

Obviously BLM isn’t solely to blame. There’s economics, propaganda, poverty, lack of education, etc. But everything being added on top at the moment will not create enlightenment. Exactly the opposite. And history has many examples of where that ends up.
