@hammondmark1 @Rehiana1980 @gmcuk @the_mpts Pay attention.
Free speech means the opposite of that.

@FSUSwitzerland @subkon1 @SpeechUnion Et tu, Switzerland?
One would hope that Trump and other reactions to woke intolerance would send a message. I guess these wokesters are slow learners.

@AustralianJA Why did the Jewish community (well, its noisy 'representatives') mount fierce opposition to repealing Section 18C?
This illiberal clause is bad in its own right, and made worse by the fact it is only enforced in one direction, namely against whites and Jews.

@toadmeister @elonmusk People like Curry always insert themselves into the bureaucracy of any organisation. Ditto doctors, lawyers, and any other profession/trade. Always way to the left of the membership.
Like "those who can, do, those who can't, teach", those who can't, get a job in the bureaucracy.

@Ninja_Zen @AlmutGadow Most folk do not consider voicing one's concern to be an act of bullying. If I have misunderstood you, kindly elaborate.

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@AlmutGadow Gut gemacht Almut! Pity it didn't go to a tribunal, which would have set a precedent.
Two scandals here:
First denying you the right to voice your objections. Second imposing a nonsense curriculum on their students, which will not help them in the real world.

@SpeechUnion @FSU_Canada Welcome fellas. I guess Trudeau has left you quite a workload!

@glukianoff @CBSNews @FaceTheNation @TheFIREorg Margaret Brennan of CBS made this absurd claim to Rubio. Alas Article 48 of the Weimar Republic allowed for suppression of free speech. When Hitler took office, he immediately activated this, no need to go through the Reichstag.
Absence of dissent led straight to everything else.

@elonmusk I thought you had loosened up on the censorship. I had a perfectly reasonable post rejected with "Visibility limited: this Post may violate X’s rules against Hateful Conduct".
No idea what was 'hateful'. Classic overreach - say you did something wrong, but won't say what.

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@ausvstheagenda How embarrassing...

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@Runnerron13 @shellenberger @stephenmoore902 Sounds like you need a fact checker.

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@FSUofAustralia I just had a look on BlueSky (X for wokesters) and of course they are aghast. They liked the "fact" checkers because they were also woke. Zuck admitted their biases.
Topics like immigration aren't binary true/false, they are opinion, and as we have seen, checkers have opinions.

@BGatesIsaPyscho Hopefully his, yes his, days are numbered.

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@JamesMelville “Cows have a digestion system that emits methane".
So does he.

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@_janey_j Could you name (and shame) this organisation?

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@BGatesIsaPyscho This lady has a problem - clinical ethno-masochism.
Please seek help.

@FLFreeBird23 @KonstantinKisin @bindelj Yes feminoids were the ultimate radicals who demanded access to male-only clubs etc. Then they were eclipsed by the trannies, who demand access to their spaces.
What goes around, comes around...

[Sholto Douglas @sholtod1]

@KonstantinKisin @bindelj Heck I thought Julie was on the sane side of this issue, unless this clip is very old and she has since seen the light.

@HSBC_UK I have a Wise card into which I transfer funds from my HSBC a/c. They have just told me to update my Wise account details, but the new a/c no is 9 digits. When I tried to add them as a new payee, that field would only accept 8 digits.
When will you fix this?
