I made a legitimate thread asking if China becoming the world’s factory is seen as a good thing, considering how it’s a communist nation.
Then some crazy mod went through my posting history, found a comment about me criticizing China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia for not having a free press.
He said something about it being funny, then censored my thread, ironically proving me correct.
What’s up with you guys? Why are you afraid of any kind of legitimate discussion or facts?
Are you scared?
To quote a classic XKCD. Emphasis mine.
Public Service Announcement: The Right to Free Speech means the government can’t arrest you for what you say. It doesn’t mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit, or host you while you share it. The 1st Amendment doesn’t shield you from criticism or consequences.
If you’re yelled at, boycotted, have your show canceled, or get banned from an Internet community, your free speech rights aren’t being violated. It’s just that the people listening think you’re an asshole, and they’re showing you the door.
