Well, you were wrong about it being "stupid" to say that statues of ex-slaves who fought against slavery would get torn down. Genius.
(Inevitable response: "But that's not Harriet Tubman, tho!")

@LibertyLudens Steer into it. "The closer you get to 'real communism', the more gulags and and mass graves there are. The closer you get to 'real capitalism', the more prosperity and quality of life goes up. Weird, right?"
@ruqqus Better to be down and fixing, than "up" and not letting me post a single comment all day. (Seriously, I tried a dozen times across several hours, and it never stuck.) Hope this gets stuff in working order.
@jilliancyork@EliLake They pulled down a statue of Cervantes. Who was a slave for five years. They tore down one of Jefferson, who wrote the first anti-slavery law in the US. And Washington, who freed his slaves.
Go on, tell us again how "stupid" it is.
@checkmatestate Zero, because the Tiananmen protesters were completely peaceful and non-destructive.
The rioters and looters here started the violence days ago.
Protesters don't burn down buildings of innocent people, loot stores, or swarm and beat anyone who voices dissent.
The Tiananmen protests were actually peaceful. So was the Umbrella Movement in 2014. You are tweeting literally the antithesis of the truth.
Turning the army on protestors is what dictatorships do.
It’s literally the antithesis of America.
Republicans of good faith and decency need cannot let their party’s position become pushing for an American Tiananmen Square.
The Tiananmen protesters never burned anything.
The Tiananmen protesters never mobbed and hurt anybody.
The Tiananmen protesters were ACTUALLY PEACEFUL.
Evan McMullin is either a fucking moron, or a fucking liar.
@Indignity_jones@tedcruz@scrowder@prageru And while you may quibble over Youtube's targeting (ah, the joy of muddying the waters to hide bad faith actions), Patreon openly cut people off for politics. And so did MasterCard at least once. And if I recall correctly, Citibank. And Paypal.
@Indignity_jones@tedcruz@scrowder@prageru Scott Adams, the original poster, is nobody's neo-con.
As for "persecution complex", the overculture has been openly hostile to anyone not sufficiently left since the '80s. Now that people's livelihoods are being targeted for political wrongthink, it's not "false".
You know, usually when you helm a high-profile flop, studios are less quick to announce they've hired you again. Particularly for the same sort of thing that you flopped with in the first place.
@Indignity_jones@tedcruz@scrowder@prageru Yes, to everyone, but some are getting it more than others. Scott Adams is "conservative" only in that he says positive things about Trump, but that's enough to count, in Silicon Valley.
