Although right-wingers like to fuss about protests or censorship on college campus when they are affected, statistically censorship is far more common used against left-wingers both on college campuses, in US media, online, etc.
The reason why most people think censorship against right-wingers is more common is that right-wingers and the media (which tends to have a conservative bias both for economic reasons and because of right-wingers “working the judges”) tend to highlight cases of censorship or protest (which is not censorship) against right-wingers and ignore cases of censorship against left-wingers.
The media’s reporting tends towards a right-wing bias both for economic reasons and as a response to the “media is liberal” BS that conservatives have been pushing since the Reagan administration.
CNN, MSNBC, and most other news outlets consistently “overcorrect” by pushing conservative talking points, hiring more conservative anchors, and framing issues from a conservative lens in response to the charge that they are part of the “liberal media”. The claim that media companies are liberal is basically just a way of “working the judges” to push the media’s Overton window far to the right.
On the economic front, media companies, their parent companies, the companies that pay them through ads, their anchors/editors/CEOs/shareholders, etc benefit financially from right-wing economic policies such as cutting taxes and creating loopholes for the rich and corporations, deregulation, subsidies for wealthy industries, constant military spending (which funds the defense contractors who buy ads as a way to buy off the media and its correspondents or simply own some of the media companies), from unrestricted campaign finance (which goes straight into their pockets though ad revenue), etc.
This financial interest seeps into their reporting and directly effects how they cover left-wing candidates like Bernie Sanders compared to corporate tools like Pete Buttigieg or Joe Biden, how they frame issues like Medicare for All and the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, how they cover events like Standing Rock or Occupy Wall Street (which were consistently ignored, derided, and often misreported) compared to Tea Party protests (which they almost universally propped up), etc.
There were some studies in the past that showed that reporters (the people who actually used to go out in the field and do the research for the anchors, not the people who reported that information to the viewers or had the final say what goes into the articles) tended to be a bit more liberal, but the US media corporations themselves and the way that the anchors and editors (which tend to be conservative both for financial reasons and because they are selected for that trait) report on issues almost always comes from a right-wing perspective–With the exception of some social issues where it is bad for business to promote racists or bigoted views.
I know there are a few posters who seem to live in the “campaign discussion” section of the forums. Maybe achievement scores would be the most play mode agnostic way of determining whether an account is an alternate designed specifically to circumvent a ban. You can hardly scratch your butt in any mode without getting at least 50 points when you’re starting out.
There could be more specific requirements for specific forum section but I think a general one would be sufficient.
I wonder then what would happen if they make an “elite” section on the forum where only a certain level can get in and post. I wonder how active that would be.
Yes thats why when project veritas does any investigation whatsoever, they uncover liberals pushing censorship on conservatives and pushing liberal ideas.
Now if you include moderates in with the left wingers then i agree with you… The problem is the moderates get roped in with the right wingers.
There have also been cases where twitter won’t ban far right activists because they want people to believe most right wingers are crazy.
Google “men can” the first suggested result is always “have peroids” followed by “have babies”
People dont actually google that, google is pushing an agenda. They also have begun censoring pro trump ads. Twitter has been a known liberal haven… The news media pushes liberal policies and polls have shown are run by leftists.
Even compared to the Democratic Party’s own previous policies it is a far right-wing party.
Medicare for All was a priority for the Democratic party for decades before right-ward shift during the Reagan and Clinton administrations. John F. Kennedy campaigned on the issue while he was still alive.
I am sorry, man, but the liberals are the biggest pro-censorship block in modern politics, and also the ones that would suffer the most in case they got their wish.
In China, they are banning victims of abuse, if they tell about it online. They handled Hate Speech, by eliminating those hated upon.
That is because they have an authoritarian system of government, not because of liberal economic issues.
There are plenty of far-right countries around the world with similar governments that have similar censorship and human rights abuses. Saudi Arabia is just one example.
