Why are people (leftists) so afraid of disagreement they feel the need to ban and block opinions they disagree with?

[Anonymous]

We saw it after the BLM thing with how news sites started to remove their comment sections to get ridd of disagreeing opinions or how presidental jokes in general became a huge nono after Biden became president.

[Anonymous]

So you've never heard of a place called Gauntanamo bay then?

It's where your fascist government locks people up without charge when they disagree with them.

There are no 'leftists' in the US, you do not have a left wing party, you have 2 right wing parties.

Now just because one of them pretends to be ever so slightly less right wing than the other one does not make it left wing, to be on the left you have to be left of centre.

You don't have a functioning political system, you don't have any choices and its way past time that you learned that.

So please, take the education which is being given to you and put it to good use.

And what shithole do you call home? Your mother’s ass?

@Agagagagaga What is it you are upset about?

Don’t let anyone tell you the Left is peaceful.

[Bratsondanielle]

I honestly believe most libtards deep down know their shit don't hold up in court

[notwoke]

because their opinions can't possibly be defended by any logic or reason: Example

91% of murdered blacks killed by other blacks

80% of interracial crime - black on white

Virtually 100% of interracial rape - black on white

Percent of murdered blacks killed by police while following the law - less that 1%

yeah, Black Lives Matter----so get your shit under control

[jshm2]

They don't. Rightists don't seem to understand you can't shit talk anywhere you like, and expect to be dealt with eloquently.

It's a like a known and convicted shoplifter crying "rights" people are barring him from nearly every location.

[Guy13]

They are Communists. That’s what Communists due. Cancel culture etc, shut down media, people, and Bill of Rights for Political correctness and Money, Power, and PRIVILEGE. Privilege…kind of ironic but true.

[NewsReader]

Because liberals often don't have a legitimate argument against the criticism brought towards them. Their only defense mechanism is by silencing / banning the opponent. It's a method of avoiding defeat.

[cth96190]

Because the various ideologies of the Left cannot survive rational examination, so they need to silence opposing voices.
If the Left could win a fact-based argument, they would not feel the need to silence critics.

[TheBigWhistle]

It's probably the same answer to the question "Why do right wingers believe they should be able to freely advocate hatred and violence and then experience no negative consequences for doing so?"

[Pot8o]

Honestly, conservatives do it too. E. g. the evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller will block you on Twitter simply for disagreeing with him. It's nuts.

[BeMuse]

Being blocked means he doesn't want to listen to you. It's not the same thing as being deleted where you remove people opinions.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse True, but this behavior isn't limited to the Left. The Right is banning school books it disapproves of.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse Also, being blocked on Twitter means you can no longer comment on that thread, essentially locking you out of the conversation. I can respect if people block others for abuse. But civil disagreement? That is weak. That will get you living in an echo chamber fast.

[BeMuse]

They are not banning books. You can buy or borrow all those books and read them anytime you want. They are making decisions in their education institutions about what materials will be included in their curriculum. If you didn't make the cut with your favorite book, that's because it is not useful to public education in their state.

[BeMuse]

You can post on your on page on twitter if you are blocked by someone else. There a lot of people in the world, they do not all have to listen to you.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse Go fuck yourself, you partisan clown

[BeMuse]

I have no party affiliation. Nice projection though.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse Lol sure you don't, you spent several comments gaslighting me because I dared to suggest the Left isn't the only side that stifles speech. What a surprise that you're not only an idiot but also incapable of honesty.

[BeMuse]

You can't handle the truth.

[BeMuse]

I am a registered voter in Florida. I have No Party Affiliation on my voter registration. I have never been a registered Republican.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse I clearly can. You clearly don't even know what the word means. Trollish clown.

[BeMuse]

Partisan: a partisan is a committed member of a political party.

[BeMuse]

You project a lot.

[BeMuse]

Go learn something kid
https://www.britannica.com/topic/partisanship

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse A partisan is someone who is strongly affiliated with a certain political wing. It's someone who plays politics as if it's a zero sum team sport where all that matters is winning. Someone like you who can't even make the most basic concessions and would rather lie. And no, my points were perfectly good, and they were honest, and then you pop out of the woodwork with your bullshit.

[Pot8o]

I'm older than you, you dope. But thanks for illustrating with your endless dumbassery why it would be desirable to block someone.

[BeMuse]

You trying to smear me, doesn't change the fact that I am registered to vote with no party affiliation. Thus I have no loyalty or commitment to any political party.

[BeMuse]

The fact is you are just wrong. There is nothing to compromise about. When you are wrong, you are wrong. No amount of floundering will change your situation.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse I am right and you're a stubborn cunt.

[BeMuse]

No amount of name calling will make you any less wrong.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse I'm not wrong. You're a partisan liar. Also, being partisan has zilch to do with whether you're registered with a party. It's about whether you're zealously attached to your own side and incapable of admitting its wrongs or honorable and honest. You couldn't bear to give the smallest of concessions on this issue and instead rejected all evidence that the Left isn't alone in shutting down speech it disagrees with. Idiot.

[BeMuse]

You're dumb as they come... The etymology of partisan comes from the Italian partigiano which litterally mean “defender of a party”. You commies are fucking retarded and highly uneducated.

[BeMuse]

I don't make concession on truth and reality just to make idiots like you feel like they won a second place ribbon. The truth is the truth. If it hurts your feelings, tough shit.

[BeMuse]

What's even funnier is that partigianos were ANTIFA members just like you in WWII. They carried on with the same bullshit you do.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse I'm not a commie, but nice try

[BeMuse]

Sure you're fagot. You push all the commie lying narratives even though anyone can read the bills passed and see that you are lying. You make up fictional meanings for words. You project all your own crimes onto others. You're a commie through and through and a true piece of human trash.

[Pot8o]

@BeMuse Thank you bud

[lightbulb27]

Some seem to be more emotionally sensitive and less stable emotionally. It isn't all, some are very rational, logical and will aim to prove their views.

[Sixgunsound]

Truth has often been depicted as a burning lamp or a fire of knowledge, and that heat source melts snowflakes.

[sawno]

Because they have no winning argument against it.

[TroyDT2]

I have seen it both ways. If people are personally abusive, then block if you want. If people just disagree politically then the posts should be allowed to stand for people to read and compare.

[SmokinAces2000]

I’m blocked by at least 15-20 conservatives on this site

[TheBigWhistle]

Same here. They talk a good game about their "rights" but when it comes right down to it, they're a bunch of easily triggered pussies.

[Agagagagaga]

@TheBigWhistle And yet I haven’t blocked you yet, have I, fucktard 😉

Or am I being triggered? 😂

Eat a dick. This is Saturday night, after all 🤷‍♂️

[TheBigWhistle]

@Agagagagaga Jesus, you're a sad, sad waste of life.

[OddBeMe]

I've only neen blocked by right wingers so…persperective.

[Berethor]

Because they are pussies.

[FilmGuy93]

They think their ideas are morally superior

[BeMuse]

The revolution will not be televised...

[BeMuse]

It comes in the winter in the dead of night when no one can see it coming...

[Anonymous]

Oh look, more racist conturd trolls, just report to get them kicked off fellow liberals.
