    Wow! That’s amazing that they have no other work or better priorities. They must be so efficient if they reached this far down the to-do list.

    Saw asmongold doing the same to try and get game devs fired for edgy tweets about kirk.

    The free speech absolutist side seems really keen on cancel culture when it serves them.

      Why the fuck would anyone listen to the guy with the gum blood wall and the rotting rat alarm? Like seriously Asmongold is probably the worst person to listen to for anything, this is coming from me and I have a growing cat piss puddle in my bathroom right now that I can’t clean up so I’m sure as hell one to talk. But seriously why does anyone take this fucking parody of a gaming troglodyte seriously on anything.

      The cat piss puddle is cause my oldest cat struggles to make it to the sandbox sometimes and I will puke if I look at it. Also I was more or less completely out of it for about a week still kinda am, I plan to clean it once I can retain my stomach contents and think straight for more than 4 minutes at a time. I zoned out 4 times while writing this.

      In the age of ‘loyalty tests’ this really isn’t new. On top of that military personnel have always had their speech restricted. But, as long as they weren’t bad mouthing their leaders or discussing unprofessional topics at work it was generally fine.

      This is a step MUCH further than that, sure, especially for a political activist civilian… still just a loyalty test, though. Just like when they replaced all the senior leaders that didn’t hold their values.

        Please excuse my ignorance. Did the third reich ever pretend to believe in free speech? I thought suppression was, well, the whole precursor to the holocaust?

          Yes, and they still do. Trump has Truth Social, Musk bought Twitter as a “free speech absolutist”. But it’s a lie, as we see here.

    They should call him Captain Kirk in their posts, so they can’t say they are talking about Charlie.

    “He’s dead Jim” has now been 180°'d to Jim is Dead.
