...and there goes the point again.

 

Nobody advocates for that (that I am aware of). However, limits on speech must be extremely rare and exceptional.

So your point is that defamation and incitement to commit crimes isn’t “exceptional” enough, so the first amendment rights of Twitter may be violated by the government?

...yes, I am sure they are /s.

 

Nice way to deliberately miss the point though.

Wasn’t your point to advocate free speech without subject to any laws, rules and boundaries whatsoever?

far worse things are being said on Twitter, and they never take such actions, even with documented complains etc...

Does that also mean you support, for example, a kiddy fiddler based on the grounds that other kiddy fiddlers before him got away with it? Or only when it serves your agenda?

...and thank God for it.  People forget that the speech that needs protecting the most is the speech of the unpopular, the deplorable, the powerless, the detestable.  Who wants the government climbing into our heads and thoughts trying to regulate our very souls?

 

Oh, I’m pretty sure the kiddy fiddlers and ISIS are clapping their hands to this.

No idea but do they run platforms where both politicial sides are supposed to post? 

If they’re not, it means they’re running platforms where only one political side is supposed to post — which seems to be exactly what you’re blaming Twitter trying to do, no?

Taking our sandwiches, how dare they! ????????????

 

Do I detect that remainers are struggling to find any negative news about Brexit.

To use @Loiner’s words: “They had four years to prepare how to get their sandwiches into the EU, now deal with it.” ????

But Arnold has the personal experience and gravitas to invoke anything he chooses.

No, he was born in 1947, two years after  the war was over. He may have seen the aftermaths, and I can appreciate that.

The Beer Hall Putsch may have been a better event to compare?

Yes, maybe. What is happening with Trump and the GOP certainly looks very much like Fascism, so I understand these comparisons, and I would make some of it myself. All I’m saying is we should be careful comparing anything to the sufferings and crimes the Jews were subject of during that time. The scale of that tragedy is so massive that any comparison with present events risks (unintentionally) downplaying it.

No. Arnold lived through this.

No, he didn’t. He was born after it.

To defend or mitigate the capitol attack is aiding these shameful terrorists.

And I didn’t defend or mitigate anything. I think my first sentence made that clear.
 

At the same time, we should be careful about what comparisons we use in order to not (unintentionally) downplaying the sufferings and crimes millions of Jews were subject to in Nazi Germany. I thought the last bit of my reply made that clear.

Arnold Schwarzenegger compares US Capitol insurrection to Kristallnacht - YouTube

Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose father was a Nazi soldier, compared it to Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, in his heartfelt video released on Sunday.

While I can appreciate his good intentions, and may agree with most of what he’s saying in this video, and certainly condemn these acts of domestic terrorism — comparing anything to the Reichskristallnacht or what happened in Nazi Germany in general is wrong. He really needs to go back to the history books and understand what happened in that night in Europe before risking to (unintentionally) downplaying it by making inadequate comparisons.  

“Jewish homes, hospitals and schools were ransacked as attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Rioters destroyed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland. Over 7,000 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps.”

Goodness only knows, I would let them go tomorrow, see how they manage to survive then.  At least it would stop the constant whining by that irritating woman of theirs. 

I believe that’s what we in Europe thought about Brexit and the Brexiteers.

We were never a nation of the EU, we got out just in time, however the UK is an Island nation and as such being a democratic (I think you should look that word up) nation we all deserve a say!

The Italians, Germans and Irish, or the EU as a whole, could have demanded the same. Then it was good enough for you to not “being democratic” to give them a say in matters that the whole of EU affected.
