Cosmo talks about his corporate-oligarchy fascist/authoritarian ideals. Hey Cosmo, it's not complicated, not complicated at all. You're just willing to engage in political practices that has genocided more people in the history of humanity for the sake of your own personal selfish feelings. The irony is that the policies you promote would result in the direct oppression of people like yourself.
Lol so far this is even worse than I imagined. I know this site is all about laughing at cows, but I have to respond here. Call me an A-log all you want, but the cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy is so blinding that I have to try and point out the insanity here...
For one, how do you know that in that hypothetical situation, that it wouldn't shake out in an opposing favor? What if they instead censored your ideals or philosophies instead? What if trans people weren't allowed to post? All because these companies decided, on their own, that you don't deserve a platform because they don't like you, your choices, or your ideals? Because they decided that transitioning was self-harm or mutilation? etc. You'd call that oppression, wouldn't you?
But when it's done to other people whose views don't align with your own, it's suddenly not oppression anymore and instead it's a "righteous act" meant to better the internet. I don't think anyone should be censored within reason, even if it's unpleasant.
You can't see that the philosophy you're espousing is hypocritical? I'm not saying that I happen to have any "answers" to the questions you posed either. But I will say that I think your perspective is warped and influenced by a bias that has sprouted from your fame and infamy.
And you can't be mad that your entire life is online and mine isn't. I mean I guess you can, but it's illogical because you did that to yourself. You're still doing it to yourself. And if you want an environment you feel comfortable being in, then why are you coming here? To a place where you know you won't be treated with the same genial respect you would probably be given elsewhere? That's your choice.
Here's my own analogy... Imagine this: I hate chocolate. But every day I go to a shop and order chocolate cake. Then I get upset and complain that chocolate shouldn't exist. Consider this: Why would I ever do that when I could just order Vanilla? Why do I have the right to complain when I'm the one torturing myself?
You asked what our solution was.. I can only speak for myself, and I'll say the same thing I've been saying this entire time: Realize that words can only hurt you if you let them.
