    People here on boards have enjoyed the far lefts campaign against Gemma O'Doherty but now the same people who cancelled Gemma, want boards.ie defunded because it's "racist" and because it has a conspiracy theory forum. Be careful what you wish for. https://mobile.twitter.com/DubRentWatch/status/1310901669413216256

    Another example of a useful service taken over by an activist.
    I expect their 5K followers to dwindle if this keeps up.

    What these muppets want is to close anything that isn't a clear echo chamber and any forum where their politic and general nonsense can be debated and argued against. Mainly because as we've seen in this very forum their arguments tend not to survive much questioning.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Can you explain how or where that Twitter post you linked to claims boards is racist? I don't see it.

    Am I missing something here?


    1 Tweet from a randomer 2 days ago that has amassed the grand total of 2 likes and 1 quote/retweet.

    Do yourself a favour there and log out of twitter.
    If you have done it your problem is solved and you no longer have to worry to worry about the "Far left" shutting down boards.
    Because apart from this twitter post and your claim that it proves the "far left" is shutting boards down I see no evidence of such.

    Ps no one cancelled Gemma, she is regularly in the various forms of media and still doing her racist ****e conspiracy nonsense.

    Most self proclaimed free speech absolutists are giant big whiny snowflakes!

    When you say these muppets you are referring to the OP or the tweet?

    You see anything that anyone on the left thinks is automatically adopted by everyone else on the left. We operate as a hive mind without any ability to have independent thoughts. Once you Google Karl Marx you're looked in for life.

    It can be exhausting but there's no way out.

    The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people.

    They would be better served tackling something like this,

    https://www.stormfront.org/forum/index.php

    Boards is a nice day out in the park compared to that site.

    If your argument is based on
    a.) a single tweet that has 2 likes
    AND/OR
    b.) Suggesting that GO'D is anything other than a racist ghow, and should be litigimised in any form....

    then you don't really have much of an argument

    More calls for censorship as usual from the the left. Free speech is under attack like never seen before can't question covid figures or question immigration into the west. 1984 is coming true.
