Good idea, so I can quickly block the ideological spammers who hate diversity of thought.

I prefer the new open and divers Twitter, thank you.

If by "diversity of thought" you mean you want to block people who hate calls to violence and lies and racism and antisemitism and misogyny and homophobia and transphobia and Islamophobia and Christian Nationalism and white supremecy and Russian propoganda and good old fashioned right wing hate speech. But you be you.

Funny how somebody who claims to love "the new open and divers [sic] Twitter" is so obsessed with blocking as many people as possible. Happy dumpster diving.

Back to PHIL101 with you:

Most calls to violence I see on Twitter and irl come from the left, so for most racism these days. The switch happened about 7 or 8 years ago and was surprisingly sudden. Took me some years to realize it (I was a “lefty” all my life).

So you think it was AntiFa who stormed the capitol after Trump called for a violent insurrection, huh?

He didn’t. The speech is available on YouTube, his calls for peaceful and lawful demonstration are now back on Twitter. Don’t believe lies of the media, look at the original sources. Eye opening.

So if you were a "lefty" all your life, then when and why did you suddenly decide to be so tolerant and condoning of racism and antisemitism and misogyny, and decide to start spreading lies in support of violence and hatred?

You know you're lying too, and you're not arguing in good faith, just gaslighting. See my reply and dataloper's reply to Duckfeathers, because it also applies to you. You've demonstrated that your arguments are insincere and deceptive and not worth responding to, because you're a liar.
