  1. The finest bit of whataboutery I have seen yet! Congrats!
  2. ok so you didn't like that link (the content of which came from an amnesty international report) and chose to discredit the author rather than reading it. Here is the same report which comes from amnesty international. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/01/child-labour-behind-smart-phone-and-electric-car-batteries/ So.. are you a child slave labour supporter or a denier? No doubt you will now call into question who funds amnesty international rather than addressing the contents of that report. I'm sure that one or more of the 10 million individuals that contribute funds to them is an unsavoury character you can deflect onto as this seems to be your MO.
  3. I used the search: https://aseannow.com/search/?&q=china&type=forums_topic&quick=1&item=1283819&author=Bkk Brian&nodes=158&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy There is nothing you posted about what Greta specifically has done about the pollution in China. You just mentioned that when she talks about China she gets fat shamed. Rosa Parks had to suffer a lot worse than that when she was standing up for her rights, but then I suppose Rosa Parks really cared about the cause she fought for rather than craving attention from like minded souls.
  4. From what I can gather is that she retweeted something or wrote a tweet which seems to be the sum of her activism against the pollution that is produced from China and someone in China accused her of being a bit chubby. Is that it or did I miss a post you made that detailed her adventures in China demonstrating outside one of their 1118 coal power plants?
  5. So if she is as educated as you say then why is she protesting in Germany and not, for example, in China? Even a secondary school educated child would have an awareness of the biggest polluters in the world and would know that Germany is not one of them. What she is doing is about the equivalent of Rosa Parks complaining quietly to her friends at the back of the bus rather than taking a stand (or a seat) at the front where it could (and did) make a difference.
  6. I'm surprised she is in Germany as China has now opened up it's borders and it would be an excellent time to take her climate protests over there. China has 1118 coal power plants. Germany has 3. Has she been to China yet? Perhaps one of the consequences of not finishing her education is that she is unaware of countries in the east hence she is still protesting in countries that have already signed up to the green agenda.
  7. Brought to you by the same great minds that thought that closing pubs early and a curfew would ensure that punters would be home and safe before covid came out to play after 9 or 10pm. Lesser minds would think that a better approach to tackling the scourge of drink driving would be to make the punishments a lot more severe and actually serve as a deterrent, but thankfully this kind of foolish thinking doesn't get anywhere near the levers of power here. Perhaps we can very easily tackle obesity next by reducing the amount of time available to purchase unhealthy foods like chocolate and cakes or fast food. There is simply no way that the fatties would stock up and will simply not eat bad food during the hours it is unavailable to purchase.
  8. You actually took what he said "literally" and actually believe he genuinely wants to see her paraded down a street naked with excrement thrown at here, rather than a satirical reference to a fictional royal from a fictional book/tv show? Bless.
  9. At least he didn't ask her where she was from as that would have been racist. Well done Clarkson for not actually apologising, and well done in advance to Amazon for (probably) renewing Clarksons farm, Grand Tour etc and not bowing down to the mob who love to see people lose their jobs, especially when they have the temerity to make jokes that those without a sense of humour will never be able to understand in this lifetime or the next. At least he is punching up, can't get much higher up than royalty now can we?
  10. Didn't you recently say that Twitter polls were useless previously due to the number of bots? Yet now you seem to think the results should be valid. Must be very confusing to live in such a contradictory world.
  11. Another straw man. I literally posted the mayor of Chicago's actual tweet which is still up. There is no context. It's a tweet. She doesn't clarify or provide context and no-one has provided any they just keep saying context and the nodding dogs nod along as though that solves it. If Twitter can believe that Trump supporters can read Trump's tweet stating he won't be at an inauguration and somehow ascertain that means he wants people to take up arms and storm the capital what exactly are the deranged idiots on the left supposed to think when reading the Chicago mayors tweet that literally says she wants a call to arms and fight the supreme court judges???
  12. "powerful influencer". "Shaping discourse" Don't be so silly. She posted videos of leftists self-owning themselves on TikTok, nothing more, nothing less. She shapes the discourse as much as people who post cat videos shape the animal kingdom. If there was a news story here all it could really be is "why are liberals so dumb and why do they keep making idiots out of themselves on TikTok for the amusement of the right".
  13. You have no idea why she was banned. It could (and should) have been a long overdue ban for doxxing an account that literally just showed videos of stupid things that stupid people (leftists) publicly posted on TikTok. The owner of that account did not create her own content, nor voiced her opinion on the videos, they were presented as they were originally published on TikTok by people seeking attention (since they were posted on TikTok). If anything the doxxed account owner was giving the original publishers more of what they craved - attention. Since you are a fan of definitions here is the one for 'doxxing' "to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge" Since the account itself was not newsworthy, nor part of a news event or public interest the definition fits perfectly as there was no reason at all to publish the private information of that account owner other than so that she could be targeted for harassment and violence against her by the "be kind" brigade. Perhaps Twitter were just catching up on banning her for doxxing. Correlation does not imply causation.
  14. She is a serial doxxer. Should have been banned long ago. https://nypost.com/2022/04/19/taylor-lorenz-blasted-for-doxxing-libs-of-tiktok-creator/
  15. Did you not even read what you pasted in: "a summons to engage in active hostilities" seems fairly clear to me and there was no additional context other than to clarify that it would be a fight to victory from the Chicago mayor. Just imagine if Trump had said the same. Would you be equally placid? Here is an example of the mental gymnastics the activists working at Twitter went through to justify banning Trump based on this tweet: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.” "The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending." https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension
  16. Well, technically she isn't in the media but this is allowed apparently, as long as it is for the right cause of course. Just imagine if Trump had actually used this phrase instead of just saying he wasn't going to bother going to the inauguration. I'm sure you would have been equally placid about that ... right?
  17. I've got eyes and ears. That's how I know that the only people that are having a meltdown are lefty journalists and, well, leftists. It's a very strange hill to die on when it comes to freedom of speech. Do you want to know where Elon's jet is currently and why do you want/need to know this and if so what do you plan to do with this information once you have it? If you don't need or want this information why do you care?
  18. I'm not American but I just saw bits on the news with mild amusement with regards what happened on that day. Compared to the scale of the violence during the BLM riots that were incited by the media (and this kind of incitement to violence was acceptable on Twitter) it was a kids tea party. If the media can get you to believe that that was an attempted coup then America has far bigger problems than whether or not Elon Musks jet should be allowed to be tracked on Twitter.
  19. Why is the left having a breakdown because they cannot track musks jet live on Twitter and have to use a different site? The hill to die on regarding freedom of speech was when a sitting president got banned from the platform, even if you did not agree (or even hated) his views and what he stood for. If you did not do that then you forfeit your right to complain about freedom of speech as you effectively only care about freedom of speech that is speech you agree with, which is the opposite of what is meant by freedom of speech.
  20. This just take snapshots of sites at random times. It may have missed the hateful tweet he (possibly) made and deleted. I am not prepared to take his word about his innocence as like most journalists, they have the tendency to make up the facts that support whatever narrative they are trying to support. Twitter have the info, and as mentioned you would need to ask them why he got banned.
  21. I asked why it is in the public interest as I am struggling to understand why the left is having a temper tantrum because they can't use Twitter to see where his private jet is currently located and have to use an alternative site to get this info. Where did I say I supported banning anything. Stop creating straw men, it's pathetic.
  22. Did Musk or Twitter specifically say that whoever this person is was suspended for doxxing? Perhaps he already deleted his hateful tweet or whatever it was that got him suspended. I believe there are more things that people can receive a suspension for than just doxxing. Anyway, I don't work for Twitter - you would need to ask them if you care about this person so much.
  23. Did Musk specifically state the reasons for their suspension was this? I haven't seen that. They must have broken some rule though hence they got banned. They are just in shock as they were allowed to be as hateful as they wanted against anyone who didn't agree with the narrative and now they find themselves on the same playing field as everyone else and are having a big old cry about it. But anyway, why is it in the public interest to have live tracking of his jet on a public platform and why is this a first amendment issue?
  24. Regardless of whether the information is available or not, Elon Musk, the owner of a private platform said it was not allowed on his private platform and would lead to suspensions. He is allowed to make his own rules on his own platform. "Journalists" decided they would do it anyway, broke the rules and have received the suspensions they were promised. If you don't like it, start your own platform with your own money and make it so that sharing and tracking of peoples locations in their private vehicles is allowed. I have no idea why it is in the public interest to share his jets real-time location anyway. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why this should be something he is forced to allow on his platform?
  25. You are suggesting that some of those 43% are bots? So it could actually be higher than 57%?
