One person's bullshit is another's truth

Bullshit is always bullshit.

Before Musk you could be permanently banned on Twitter for saying a man couldn't be a woman. The moderation was biased, now it's more of a free for all. Matter of opinion whether this is an improvement or not.

@spen666 can you remind us of the actions in the UK by BLM supporters c2020 and the extent to which the violence etc was similar to that seen over the last week or so?

How to completely miss the point, its not a comparison of who was the better or worse rioters nor who had the most favourable cause or not.

Sadly you appear unable to condemn the rioting one one side, but seemingly try to ignore the rioting by those whose views more allign with you.

I am not going to be drawn into our rioters weren't as bad as their rioters argument. That completely misses the point that all rioting is wrong, irrespective of whether the cause is one you support or oppose

Information is real time from all spectrums. That's what is making it so popular.

Remember when Disney and others wanted Elon Musk to censor the negative comments.

He told them to go fūck themselves.

It stands or dies by it's popularity
 
@spen666 It's not about who I support so please don't try an make it personal.

You can't compare one with the other without looking at the scale of disorder as Police etc action will always be proportional

Chucking a statue in the river at Bristol or throwing paint at a picture of Cecil Rhodes won't get the same response as chucking bricks at the Police or torching buildings.

They stopped spending money on ads on Twitter for a while, they weren't asking for censorship of negative comments.

There is an clear and obvious bias to policing islam marches and British white people. There were no riot shields, baton wielding police.

It's been recorded with sound. Where the police said, pick someone, anyone to jump on and arrest. That's what they did

Yes they were, their leverage was to withdraw advertising revenue. It didn't work, Elon told them to do one.

But he would also publish all the documents regarding their strong arm tactics

So, it appears you are not prepared to say that rioting is wrong.

You seems to be wanting to put some form of spin on it to justify rioting when its a cause you agree with, or perhaps some riots are ok because they are smaller than others.

A single property damaged, a single police officer hurt etc is wrong.


As for comparing scales of disorder. Are you unable to read? The whole point of my posts is that I am not comparing the scale of any disorder, because irrespective of the scale of the riots, they are wrong.
