Imagine being this explicitly and unabashedly hateful of those who happen to be born racially white and gendered male, yet arguing that speech should be shut down if it could theoretically inspire hatred towards other genders or races, because "gender or racial hatred can possibly lead to violence".

Imagine owning Twitter, and allowing your users to profess their hatred for people who happen to be born racially white and gendered male, yet suspending millions of accounts for posting news and facts that may theoretically generate disapproval of other races or genders, and explaining that "Twitter's rules prohibit race or gender-based hatred".

Well, there is no need to imagine, because here we are: a mob is spewing its virulent hatred of those who happen to be born white and male, and Twitter sees no problem in leeching off of our nation's resources and infrastructure to give this mob a platform to reach the public with its message. Surely, Twitter would like to frame this as its "commitment to free speech". But Twitter is banning those who merely post news and facts, like Armed with Knowledge, on the grounds that such material could theoretically inspire racial or gender hatred, which is against Twitter's rules.

Allowing vile professions of hatred for whites and males, but stifling debate to "prevent hatred" is an insane contradiction; it also goes against the spirit of everything that is American. Furthermore, it is a tragedy, because it seemed we had finally just escaped the stranglehold of a corporate media, and the consequences of that body's direct and largely-monopolized control over public opinion and thought. But here we are, with Twitter using its power and influence to do basically the same thing corporate media did. For this reason, no matter how much taxable income or jobs Twitter creates, the company is a pock on our civilization. We should pray for its destruction, if only for its failure to use public utilities to create anything but a stylized public forum with a corporate stamp on it.
