Oh, what the fuck happened this time?
What the- I hadn't even tweeted any gay porn at anyone!
I mean, I'd literally kept my nose clean and penis-free for weeks.
Okay, so what's the deal?
Why has this happened?
I mean, it's not like that I wanted to have a real discussion about like the actual use of ideology in the condemnation of Milo, because much of this has been ideological, and that would be an interesting discussion to have.
But fuck, you can't have that, can you?
Maybe it's because I was asking Bill Maher if he stood by that clip of him endorsing Pederasty that's been going around.
I'm sure that there are probably a lot of people who would rather I just shut up, aren't there?
Hmm, stop asking inconvenient questions.
We're trying to create an Emmanuel Goldstein here.
Was it because I was laughing at some of your buddies, Jack?
Is that the reason is this?
Did the trust and safety council feel the need to get involved?
Maybe it's because a bunch of us found direct ties between Gamergate and PewDieGate, and they're just like, you know what, this is getting out of hand.
We can't control these people.
Oh no, I know what this was, though.
I know exactly what the problem here was.
It turns out you're just a bigot who's totally intolerant of other people's opinions, isn't it, Jack?
Just because I like my pineapple on my pizza and my steak well done, that doesn't mean you can persecute me.
And to all the haters, I'm saying, look, just try it.
Just try it.
You might like it.
But really, though, I'm sure the thing that it's got the least amount to do with is this one.
It's not my fault that you're killing your company, Jack.
It's not my fault that your continued bad decisions are driving away users.
It's not my fault that you are fucking things up.
I haven't done anything wrong, and you know it.
I didn't not one black dick this time, Jack.
Come on.
What's the reason?
Oh, as usual, none given.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have alternatives.
I'll link my Minds account in the description, and I strongly suggest you sign up to it.
It is the best social media platform I have seen so far, beyond YouTube, which I don't really consider a social media platform.
But Minds is fantastic, and it's going to get better.
I've been speaking to Bill Ottland.
I gave him a bunch of suggestions on how I think it can be improved, and he got back to me the other day saying that these will all be actioned by March.
So we might actually have some real inputs in actually making a decent platform for us to use where we won't be persecuted.
Because honestly, it's kind of feeling that way.
Did everyone see the leaked list that was going around?
Who knows the veracity of that?
