Former US President Donald Trump has been indefinitely banned from Twitch, along with the platform introducing new terms for tackling “hateful conduct.”
How would it be oppression to make my own rules on my own server?? Imagine I am running a RC cars forum, am I not allowed to ban people who want to talk about farming? Am I not allowed to moderate?
If that isn’t oppression on the internet, would you mind defining it differently for me please? Because oppression to me is silencing someone based on their thoughts and beliefs, because you don’t agree with them. It’s what ruined Reddit and it’s what got Twitter and Facebook in shit during the Trump election.
What does he do exactly to cause any harm or incite it in anyway? I’m still trying to find the quote/video/clip.
For clarity, I am not a US Citizen. I don’t really oppose or favor either side. I think they’re both twisted and fucked in the head. But I like to be up to date.
Well for one he called my people “rapists”, he’s been incredibly active on Twitter spewing sinophobic nonsense and conspiracy theories about China to fuel the new Cold War, he’s dogwhistled toward the Proud Boys (notably during his debate with Biden), he instituted the xenophobic Muslim Ban, he’s still lying about how the election was stolen, and a bunch of other things while his administration continued the imperialist and neoliberal efforts of past administrations like continuing drone strikes, keeping troops abroad and increasing the military budget, and attempting coups, this case in Venezuela.

Favoring no one means you favor the status quo, meaning the current capitalist-imperialist hegemony. If you can’t see a difference between “both sides”, you’re really not looking hard enough.
He’s condemning any violence and asking for it to stop. Sure he may have said those things but he still hasn’t incited any violence which is why he got impeached. It seems to be a bogus claim just to get him out, and his dumb ass followers are making it easy to do. I am just going by logic and facts, not by maybes.
By the sounds of it, the US needs to protest for a different reason - to get a competent person in office. Trump is a moron in it for himself, and Biden is just a puppet/messenger for the corrupt people that have been running the country for decades. You’ve got the smartest people on the planet in your country and these are the 2 dinks you land on. It’s kind of ridiculous.
I don’t and honestly don’t want to have respect for anyone that harms another individual for the sole purpose of causing chaos, attacks their own democracy, causes harm to local businesses, or hates on another person for their Political beliefs. I think it’s absurd. I could be biased being in Canada. Over here we don’t hate on each other based on Political beliefs because it’s fucking stupid to do that.
Is it not oppression though?

But is silencing someone on a platform because you disagree with their beliefs not oppression?
Banning a powerful billionaire that fans dangerous right-wing sentiments from a game streaming site is, in fact, not oppression.

Working on my next reply, I am assuming you’re from South of the border of the US?

When did he incite violence though?
