Plenty of people on the right are babbling about forcing private companies to allow any speech on their platform. That is just as censorious as the 'snowflakes' on the left. There are always bootlickers on either side of the aisle who seem to think that the bill of rights is compromise. They never get very far. Look at all furor about 'big tech' and what's become of it? Nothing. Turns out it's legal and protected sppech to ban people from your private companies platform.

I wouldn't say this is a right-left divide but a freedom vs. authoritarianism thing.

The far left and far right are more similar than they think.

You guys have a problem separating opinion from people who state opinion as fact. So, they’re actually lying. For social media points? Because they’re on letsrun payroll? Because they’re bots. All of the above?

Not sure exactly who "you guys" is but people staying opinions as facts is a problem with all forums. Same thing with people stating unverified claims as facts.

That's why this got a special bulletpoint in our new forum rules.

From what I can tell dude is in his 60s and a very successful runner. I'm not going to expose his name but seriously what prompts someone to go email this to someone else? Sad if you ask me.

He actually emaisl something like this a few times a year.

Right-wing trolls DO exist here, of course, but they have zero effect on anything.

Nope, wrong. They drive away reasonable long-time forum visitors and leave nothing but the trolls and the indifferent. This place is a ghost of what it used to be, you can measure the gap between quality running threads in weeks if not months when it used to be minutes.

Democrats and Democratic-leaners have increased their support of government censorship from 40% to 65% and their support of tech companies censoring online content from 60% to 76%. Over the same time, Republican and GOP-leaning adults have soured on both, dropping from 37% support for government censorship and 48% support for Big Tech censorship to 28% and 37%, respectively.

How insular Americans are is just sad. You all know so very little about world politics and live in this messed up fantasy that the USA is the center of the universe. The absolute absurdity of thinking that the person who is the president of the US is somehow relevant to the choices Russia is making, I mean, can anyone actually be this stupid? Do you know anything at all about the history of Ukraine, the ongoing lengthy history of this conflict, why it's not a member of NATO, etc. etc.

And how stupid do you have to be to use the word "tribe" in the manner you have? Did you just want to ensure there was nobody who was not acutely aware of just how low your IQ is?

Received this email today.

Subject: Nice job fomenting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Body: By allowing right wing trolls on your board to show their support for Putin (due to Trump’s support of Putin), you have helped to create a situation in which Putin thought he could get away with invading Ukraine, which he is currently doing

Congrats

74% of Americans are disloyal traitors!

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP-NORC poll: Just 26% of Americans say US should play a major role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
