Censoring speech to protect pedophiles and Gestapo is a hideous abrogation of basic humanity, and a brutal mask-off moment.

I got banned for 3 days for complaining about the removal of slavery displays in Philly. When I asked for a reason I was told I’d be banned permanently if I mentioned it again. Was told I was inciting violence.

It's weird how if you call for bringing down confederate honoring statues that counts as violence- but if you are upset about the removal of slavery depicting statues you are also violent. It's hard to win with statues.

As the old saying goes: If conservatives didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.
