Eh, I also hate it when people have differing opinions to myself. Someone should really do something about this.


Should nobody face criticism? The parent didn't imply the user should be banned.

The "you hate people for having a different opinion than you" accusation seems to be disproportionately levied against left-ish or anti-Trump sentiment, but pro-Trump sentiment is disproportionately in the flavor of "hating you for having a different opinion", in my opinion.

Reading it again, I think you're right -- I should have been more charitable.

That said, I guess I didn't see the point the parent was trying to make. You see this kind of outrage stuff on Twitter and Reddit a lot as a reason to dismiss or ban someone. For example, if you express the wrong opinion on trans issues you're not allowed to express an opinion on anything Twitter.

I also agree it's something disproportionately levied against those with left-ish views, but I'd argue that's because this is a tactic used primarily by the left. I do also agree that the pro-Trump cohort often hates people with different opinions. I don't think either is good, but one side seems to be more likely to take their "hate" further and use it as a reason to censor.


You are free to log onto Gab and criticize him. That's the whole point.


No, not really, they're pretty quick with the ban hammer against heathens and communists.
