cocolo is the spanish slur towards black people

I mean South Park literally did an episode on how easy it is to have a word change overtime.

We will not know unless we try.

those fucking astronauts

Plus, the use of SJW as a perjorative has gotten so overboard that now people are using it as a badge of honor lol

It originally was a badge of honor.

And then it became a perjorative.

And I guess you're saying it's back.

This guy... Gutfeld... I find him funny.

Gutfeld is a bit of a twat personally

Gutfeld is hilarious.

I take him for his funny commentary, I do take it at times with a grain of salt.

Different strokes for different folks xD

I research... but does make me laugh a bit.

Gutfeld?

Funny?

...

I think I need a shower.

He can be funny.

Oh yeah, about the shadow-banning of GOP congressman, found this. https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-shadow-ban-affected-democrats-2018-7

@Ace K Because you're on Tim's discord, I'll post Tim.

technically, they didn't, they got censored along with the Republicans.

Yes, they did. It was addressed in the original article. And we aren't being given enough information to not otherwise.

Vice checked all the Democrats and didn't notice anything on that end.

Just because Twitter says something doesn't make it true, especially when they're under the gun and won't provide enough details to verify what they're saying.

If I am being honest, Vice's article is not exactly what I call 'sourceful'.

I mean, it's original work.

What would you want?

Citations to work that doesn't exist?

If you want to say you don't trust Vice on this issue, fine. But Vice is usually considered left leaning at the least and it's not clear to me why they would lie.

Whoops, should have clarified what I meant. When I meant that it's not sourceful, Vice's factual reporting is a bit of a mixed bag.

If it means anything to you, Jack Dorsey rather famously tweeted an article from the Center for American Progress calling for a "new American civil war" in which the opposition would be ground into the dust.

Also, tim was one of the big shots at vice at some point right?

Oh this is freaking cool.

By the way, you guys can call me Dusty.

Yeah, he details why he left reasonably frequently.

Everyone I know calls me Dusty.

But he was not just some journo there right?

Basically, he felt they were going too far left and ignoring their core customers.

IIRC he was a founding member.

@Ace K Your digging. Just admit it. Whataboustism isn't much of an answer either.

Can we change the topic?

https://www.facebook.com/UNILADEntertainment/videos/665519917126220/

Damn this got savaged by this woman.

Like damn...

And I'm not saying that Vice is lying, but I am saying that other people found examples of Democrats and leftist voices being censored on Twitter. The article comes off as clickbait by only saying in the title that prominent conservatives are getting censored xD

@Dusty Morgan <- sould be Dusty: is that an actuall steam driven locomotive?

Yes it is Pratel.

I always found the steam driven locomotives to be awesome!

@Ace K and when was this and which Democrats were it?

https://twitter.com/ashleyfeinberg/status/1022211647623098370

There's too many examples of conservative activists shadowbanned and censored to list.

Not to mention de-verified.

he was a founding member of Vice News, not Vice as a whole

There's a whole kind of symbol for people Twitter has de-verified.

i remember back in the day when Vice was just a trashy fashion rag

they weren't always political, they used to make hipster fashion trash

@Ace K never heard of any of these people. It's completely disproportionate to sitting congressmen. My point stands.

And let's not forget people like Diamond and Silk.

Or all the de-listing of all the people on Youtube and Twitter on the right.

Again, I'm not saying you can't find someone on the left being censored, but it is disproportionate.

And Tim has mentioned some examples too in his vids, FWIW. (usually with the word "backfiring" as a lot of these people advocate censorship up until they get censored)

I didn't know Vice existed until this politic hailstorm came rolling into American plains.

I sorta did. But I didn't really hear of it much.

I think I saw the vid they had of homemade Pakistani guns, but that was about it.

https://www.facebook.com/LADbibleAustralia/videos/523584848082757/

This poor poor woman.

@Ace K And no one here is going to say it's "right" to censor the left. But the point is that things are rather disproportionate.

I have high doubts it is dispoportionate, but that is just my opinion, and I'll leave it and move on, as I don't want the chat to go off the rails thanks to me xD

Twitter is clearly playing politics.

As is Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr...

I'll take that as a "let's change the topic"

@Dusty Morgan That's perfectly tacky. I like it.

technically, none of them are playing politics. They are doing what will best help their bottom line and business. (and this is changing the topic lol) https://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/origin-silicon-valley-dysfunctional-attitude-toward-hate-speech It is a bit of an oldie, but I think it accurately captures why Silicon has such warped attitude towards speech.

This turtle is awesome. My favorite animals of all time!

@pratel Yeah that poor woman. It is perfect for a good laugh.

Yeah, because Trump would be a blatant copy-cat lol

That would be hilarious if it did happen.

It's not going to happen.

I know.

Pence gets more mileage being president himself.

But it would be like... big FU to the left.

Sorry I am still trying to stop saying liberal.

Kinda hard.

If you want a big FU to the liberals, go help get Republicans re-elected in the midterms.

Honestly, I doubt Pence would do that though. Despite Pence being more right-wing than Trump, I would see him as a much better president

I am just saying it would be funny.

Could agree.

Though it would expose a bit of an exploit.

Left wing would be so mad.

Eh, I'll live xD

The Republicans winning the midterms would get them really mad.

We are winning the mid-terms.

That one would actually count though.

I'm not convinced.
