Anti-black? Is that a substitute for “racist” to avoid censorship?

Meta is even worse.

Even people who were/are on the right are noticing it.

Tom Segura isn't a great guy, but I saw a clip of one of his podcasts where they were talking about Instagram. Any post anyway related to a Black person is just gonna be filled with comments saying the n word.

As fucked up as it is, TikTok appears to be the only big one that's removed hate speech for a while now. It's just become incredibly normalized which is why the wealthy keep gobbling up social media.

They want a race war, a culture war, anything to stop 99% of the population from figuring out the 1% have been fighting a class war for decades.

It's all a distraction to stop people from talking about why billionaires are fucking over everyone else and we're not stopping it.

It's no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.

I'm sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.

I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you're part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.

Hopefully it's as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.
