    Yes, it is Twitler's job to make sure you don't learn about things that Twitler does not want you to learn about.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    It is not my job to tell you what you should hear. Government or not, a platform for folks has different opinions on it, no need for me to make you read only what I want you to read.

    Twitler thinks that you should only read their approved opinion. I get that. I don't tell them what to do, I just point out what it is they are doing in the name of "fairness".

    it's quite different.

    elites are violating our rights. stopping them isn't "just as bad".

    being left alone is a freedom you may sometimes have to take proactive nonviolent measures to preserve.

    I'm pretty sure banning low IQ individuals from platforms would hurt you & your Black & Latino buddies too.
