    I presume Eddie in whatever name he used to use called Trump calling for the sacking of athletes who took a knee also called that political cancel culture.
    Utterly meaningless phrase to call out any protest you don’t agree with.

    I’m not suggesting it because he’s a republican, I don’t know if he is or not.

    I’m suggesting it because of his slavish cult like devotion to Trump.

    It’s interesting though that you equated being a republican with being in a cult.

    Your definition of a "slavish cult" would implicate a lot of people to a lot of topics.

    It's actually offensive

    I'm sure if biko is offended he'll say so or report me to the mods.

    That'd be cancel culture in action though, wouldn't it?

    You may not agree with posters political beliefs but you should not mock them as you would not like yours to be.

    Cult - "great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work"

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cult

    Republicans are not members of a cult. People who continue to support an incompetent, unqualified, narcissistic, ignorant, egotistical, arrogant, racist bully are members of a cult. Not all Republicans are in a cult as not all Republicans support Trump.

    You're new. You don't know that poster's post history and if that history is indicative of someone being heavily devoted to Trump.

    The Republican party is a cult.

    Nearly 70% think the election was stolen ffs.

    You are talking history, in the present day with Putin in charge of Russia they are the biggest threat.

    not exactly ancient history. and who knows what the US are up to right now. they prefer to do things covertly via the CIA. Russia are only a threat to those countries around them. the US prefer to spread their wings a lot further than their own borders.

    Is Donald Trump a conservative? Serious question, do you actually consider him a conservative? Do you agree or disagree with Facebook’s ban?
    It is impossible to separate the overlap between conservatism and the Republican party because it has most traditionally served as the philosophical inspiration of the party’s members.

    I don't agree with Facebook's ban because I don't think FB should be able to control political voices. Nor do I think they should be able to ban Biden.

    so what should they do with somebody who continually breaks the terms and conditions they agreed to when they signed up? are political voices special? are they exempt from the terms and conditions that apply to other users?

    What makes a political user different to a normal user? They're both bound by the same rules

    If you have a problem with the moderation on this site there are clear channels on how to appeal your grievances.

    If you don't see the craziness in that the party of the US government is influencing Facebook by publicly saying Trump's ban should be permanent then you should think again.

    Are the Democratic Party not free to say what they like? why are you putting restrictions on them saying something that is legal and not breaking any terms and conditions of the platform they placed it on?

    They aren't controlling political voices. They are banning people who break their terms of service.

    To carry your second paragraph to its logical conclusion then politicians should be able to say anything on an online platform? He broke the rules he agreed to, he shouldn’t be above the rules because of who he is. They absolutely should be able to ban Biden if he breaks the rules.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,111 ✭✭✭The Raging Bile Duct


    Without a doubt they should be able to ban anyone that is spreading misinformation, it doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum they're on.

    biko relax, I didn't complain about the moderation on the site or your moderation in particular and I've no idea how you made that leap.

    Makes a change from companies influencing the ruling Republican Party.

    Besides his ban should be permanent, he broke the rules and suffered the consequences.

    You're right, they don't need to make it permanent, maybe just a 10 year ban, orange donny will have passed away long before they need to renew it.

    It does however show that actions have consequences, something trump has ran away for all his life.

    How often should they review the ban? He's using his new geocities site to post the same lies, bullsh*t and grifting that got him banned from facebook and twitter so why would they bother wasting resources reviewing his account over and over?

    I'm looking forward to biko explain how we should have trump reinstated to Facebook, and by their rationale, not someone like Abu Hamza

    This is a very easy and equally disingenuous claim to make because Biden would never get himself banned from Facebook or Twitter.

    The only time you seem to comment is tell people not to post or to let us know that CNN = bad. Would you like to discuss Biden's policies?

    No he’s no interest in American politics as he’s said before.

    But the questions are like a loud annoying drill.

    Why not just say you disagree with it and not keep asking constant questions.

    So why did you quote a Biden supporter who was merely replying to a post about Trump made by a Trump supporter, rather than the Trump supporter who brought it up in the first place?

    Faux outrage perhaps?

    Yes, we know you still think that even though you stopped answering questions about it when we showed you that it's not true.

    But thank you for backing up my point that you only make two types of comment.

    People say stuff, they have an opinion. You don't agree with it. That's grand. Try to keep things flowing rather sounding psychotic with questions.

    This is the level you’ve been scratching around at for the last few days, masks and talk of cancel culture is where this is because Biden is doing a competent job and there is both to actually be outraged about so we have people making ridiculous statements trying to suggest things that aren’t there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 467 ✭✭EddieN75

    Pulling troops from Afghanistan. I don't think it will happen. This isn't the first time we have heard about it either.

    Do you think an orderly withdrawal at a meaningful scale will happen?

    I was actually the one who posted the link to AP news tracker of Bidens first 100 days and commented that he was doing a solid enough job so far.

    Some seem to think you are either pro Joe or pro Donald. I'm neither I wouldn't be a fan of either for different reasons. I don't like the one or the other culture either.
