Twitter Blocks the Term "Illegal Alien" From Posts - UPDATE: Twitter Backs Down

fukk. These free speech warriors can be the worsttttt. Especially the above quoted gem. Who the hell in here asserted that border laws shouldn't be enforced?? Did you seriously learn nothing from the "people who make bad faith arguments" thread?!

go to dictionary.com and look up "latent". i stand by that assertion :jaymad:

You think that Ellis Island had quotas? That people applied for visas ahead of time? That you had to show a passport?



And Ellis Island was fairly late in the grand scheme of things, we're talking stats all the way to 1954, and they're still not requiring prior approval and accepting 98% of entrants.

interesting point about ellis island given the 2018 rent prices and demand in NYC, what if we were to reopen ellis island and let in 98% of anyone who showed up? anyone wanna give an honest answer as to whether that would be a positive thing?

I feel like I need to reference the "Cac Mamba playbook" thread. Which number was "completely ignores provided evidence to do nothing more than restate his position"?

I knew as soon as I found the article there was gone be discombobulation over the source.

Do sources matter to you?

What counts as a credible source, and how do you (not the abstract "you", I mean you, newworldafro) determine a source's veracity?

I mean, your OP was literally a made up story, and when it was shown that what the article purported wasn't actually happening, you danced around the subject.

Actually I just realized something. Allow me to put this in bold, colored text, just so you understand me better.

The fact that you were able to see AND post those tweets in the OP before you updated it:

Read the 2nd tweet in the OP.

...undermines the point of your thread. :philjacksonlaugh:

Obviously it wasn't "blocking tweets using the term 'illegal alien' " if the term itself is used in a tweet decrying the situation.

This is one of the most embarrassing threads I've seen for #altrightgang.

They scream about free speech unjustices, nikkas come thru shutting that shyt down, then they move the conversation to border issues. nikkas bring up that that was never an issue when white ppl were moving around. Then they moved to Asian law, like anyone was talking about fukking Asian countries.

Just because you refuse to admit you took an L don't mean other ppl can't see it.

Or does the alt right have such a good propaganda machine that it has the power to create supporters that feel compelled to spread the good word, with blind faith, like religious zealots?

it's fueled by big money

 

[NvrCMyNut]

unaccountable big tech companies trying to influence elections and control the flow of information should be scary to anyone that isn't an authoritarian fool.
remember when you could make something trend on twitter organically? good times...

I don't let silly things like contradictory evidence stop my marriage.
