More than this, by what standard is something blockable and who determines this.
Maybe it just doesn't stop at allegedly hurtful words, Maybe two folks are discussing something political and someone else is offended by these hurtful ideas. I mean, Amazon just banned some books having an alternative Covid 19 narrative, so our isn't out of the realm of possibility..
Like the "undecided voters" who thought Biden won the debate, but some of whom were interviewed by msnbc months ago and said they were voting got Biden.
Or the fact they classify antifa and blm as peaceful protest groups, not hate groups.
It's likely people don't particularly care about the truth. Narratives matter more.
Your attempting to use reason and facts with someone who doesn't care about truth.
Anyone who lauds what happened in the northeast is either ignorant, bordering on negligence and malfeasance. Or they are malicious.
I used to give people the benefit of the doubt, however after 170 days to flatten the curve, (what's a Sweden), i realize that most of this is about control.. And lemmings just generally jump on because it's their team.
It took them a while not to endorse slavery as well.
I'd not look for anything groundbreaking from either party, especially not one where the octogenarian candidate was one of the main persons doing the eulogy for a kkk leader Just last decade.
They're far more likely to be enthralled with democratic groups like antifa or BLM and see how they slap around 70 year old white folks leaving the Republican convention, or how they should surround old ladies having a few drinks on a patio and scream and yell at them until they raise their fist and chant ~~black power~~ err i mean BLM. Or the best one, how anytime a black guy gets shot by the cops it's racism.
Yeh you used to see some horrific shit on nowthatsfuckedup.com, but the kids watching almost anything today, even the news are ironically far more ignorant of science and reality. And what's more, their parents are just as dumb.
But hey, men can be women now so everyone can pretty much say what they want and it's just as true as 2+2=5 or something.
Thinking about them in terms of the mall or a shopping plaza is good. However, you mistakenly compared the app store with the Gap.
The app store is the mall space, numerous apps abound, as do shops. The gap might not sell porn, but Victoria secret, Spencers, Hollywood (nights?? I can't recall) exist in the mall and might not be porn but... Some retail plazas might have an adult section. Best buy or Fry's at one point had adult magazines and videos.
Some retail plazas even have other things progressives and democrats find offensive, like guns and old classic literature. Occasionally you can also find a pawn shop in a retail plaza.
There was a point where you would rent out your mall or retail space to anyone with the money to cover the cost plus a small profit. The decadence, wealth inequality, and unrealistic valuations from government interference have led to a world where it's fairly easy for some to cherry pick who they want renting from them based upon their ideological, political, or racial spectrum or beliefs. The same now occurs in our app stores.
Thankfully hyper capitalism's provided an alternative, Windows, Android, or linux, and pine.
I suppose if you're a socialist you probably don't understand how it all works without a government edict giving you instructions and making sure you and your neighbor have the same marginal product.
However, even without this edict, rest assured that you can make the change without the government allowing you to... Fell free to switch.
