OK, last try for clarity: If you think it's just to debank Parler for hosting genocidal speech and also think it's just NOT to debank Harvard for hosting genocidal speech, I think you're a hypocrite. And if that's not your position I'd be interested to hear how I've misinterpreted it.

Is that what I'm doing? I thought I was making an Orwell reference to imply that a peculiar kind of very public gaslighting he warned about is not confined to the slogans of 1984's Party.

Not combining threads, but it was a rather obscure reference. The president of Harvard recently testified before congress that calls for genocide may not violate Harvard's code of conduct 'depending on context'. Which makes a widespread effort to censor Parler for hosting calls for genocide rather hypocritical IMHO. Hope that's clearer.

>Non-political is political

Is war also peace and freedom also slavery?

It's easy to botspam a competitor with terroristic and genocidal posts if you only need a fig leaf to remove the platform - not a great precedent to align with.

Also, didn't a spokesperson for Harvard recently say some calls for genocide were acceptable on their platform (campus) depending on context? Why aren't the anti-1st amendment types trying to ban Harvard?

Edit: Not a rhetorical question for the downvoters.

I'm reminded of Neal Stephenson's description of Rhetors and Incantors in 'Anathem' - "Rhetors could change the past and were eager to do so, Incantors could change the future and were very cautious using that ability". Could be a parable about leadership styles.

My money's on a bad case of grandiosity, he's clearly got an unusual appetite for risk.
