Nazis don't really believe in free speech, silly. Not even American Nazis.
Please excuse my ignorance. Did the third reich ever pretend to believe in free speech? I thought suppression was, well, the whole precursor to the holocaust?
Yes, and they still do. Trump has Truth Social, Musk bought Twitter as a "free speech absolutist". But it's a lie, as we see here.
Saw asmongold doing the same to try and get game devs fired for edgy tweets about kirk.
The free speech absolutist side seems really keen on cancel culture when it serves them.
Why the fuck would anyone listen to the guy with the gum blood wall and the rotting rat alarm? Like seriously Asmongold is probably the worst person to listen to for anything, this is coming from me and I have a growing cat piss puddle in my bathroom right now that I can't clean up so I'm sure as hell one to talk. But seriously why does anyone take this fucking parody of a gaming troglodyte seriously on anything.
The cat piss puddle is cause my oldest cat struggles to make it to the sandbox sometimes and I will puke if I look at it. Also I was more or less completely out of it for about a week still kinda am, I plan to clean it once I can retain my stomach contents and think straight for more than 4 minutes at a time. I zoned out 4 times while writing this.
You all right, buddy? Need some help?
Fucking throat infection
Wow! That's amazing that they have no other work or better priorities. They must be so efficient if they reached this far down the to-do list.
Sounds like an unlawful order to me!
Things are really bad in ~~North Korea~~ the US!
.
He he he he he he he he he
the one on the right is far drunker all the time.
They should call him Captain Kirk in their posts, so they can't say they are talking about Charlie.
"He's dead Jim" has now been 180°'d to Jim is Dead.
Everything is a loyalty test to them.
So he is turning all of the people below him against each other?
They're constantly looking for new loyalty tests. This is nothing new for them.
China should send him a case of whiskey every month for his help.
a case of fent to calm hegsgeth down.
Service deez nutz.
kegsbreth, should start trying to get sober.
I'm sure in this search for service members they will have to search and record every US citizens posts as well.
This going to flush a lot of groypers?
