> this thing about freedom of speech and governments is like one of your(theirs?) preferred point, but who cares?

Anyone who cares about reality? Because that's all freedom of speech is. If you break ToS, tough.

I don't follow the coffee machine bit, sorry.

> also yeah Twitter can do whatever it wants, I needed a mainstream platform which helped alienating people towards their circle

Glad you agree that Twitter can do whatever it wants. Maybe it sucks, but that's a free market for you!

Can I take it that you were banned from Twitter? If so, why?

I was not on Twitter before the explosion of woke culture, but every now and then I go to read without an account and there's a lot of verbal violence

The coffee machine bit: Governments have regulations that protect freedom of speech, and government are made of people and elected by people, if we let woke culture go ahead in their ideas that freedom of speech is ok to be limited when some ideas are expressed, how long since a enough number of politicians get elected and put that into law/change the law? So yeah freedom of speech as-is, is from the government, but it has to be protected also between people as people have the power to form ideas that change laws, because we don't elect machines

Wait, what?! "verbal violence" - I thought you were the defender of freedom of speech? Have we switched and you're now the woke-ist snowflake who is scared of words?

I'm sure you're aware that the next bit is practically the defintion of the slippery-slope fallacy. Given that we have:

* Brazil - Bolsonaro (not woke) * USA - Trump (not woke) until recently and the house likely to turn to the GoP (not woke) soon * UK - Boris Johnson (about as woke as Rip Van Winkle) * Russia - Putin (about as woke as Trump)

I dont think that we're in dange of falling into some Woke World Order anytime soon!

Can you give one soitary example (preferably your best) of a "woke" law being passed, please?
