I said to myself I will mentally boycott them. But wouldn't it have been good if I had a platform I could just click them off for a week and I can give them, how about this, shouldn't the public be able to give Facebook a one week suspension? That's the way to frame it. Finally okay I accidentally got to the right answer by feeling around. Right now social media platforms can give an individual a…

If you think that I will someday get banned keep that prediction you had. Keep that prediction in your head and see if it happens.

Now today I went after, yesterday I went after the SPLC for the SPLC the Southern Poverty Law Center who is supposedly the entity which points out all the bad people on race so that they can be deplatformed etc. They actually repeated the Charlottesville fine people hoax in a tweet yesterday. So I reported them. I mean actually legitimately no joke this is not political theater. I legitimately reported them for spreading race hoaxes because that race hoax is unambiguously false. They should know it and even if it's an accident it's the same effect. They need to get educated and get rid of that type of speaking but that is absolutely racially divisive on a top level. You know there's no, I don't want you to see any politics in this. I'm not, it's not tit for tat. It's not those things. This is legitimately hate speech against Trump supporters who are mostly white and they did it. It was public. It's unambiguously racially offensive to me. I am racially offended by that tweet and it's all the things that they're supposed to exist to not do. They did publicly and unambiguously. So I reported them. Now here's the thing. Will I be deplatformed for that? I say no. I say there is no way that I would be deplatformed for calling out bad racially divisive stuff. No way. Because I'm right. I think you have to at least be wrong you know. Actually be right. This is enough to keep you from being deplatformed but you have to have a good intention. I think it's pretty obvious that my intention is to get rid of racially divisive, I never know if people say divisive or divisive. People say that differently and I'm never sure which is the right way. But it's racially damaging and I wanted to get rid of it. I think that that kind of stuff has no place in the public discussion because it's fake and it's bad for everybody. So we'll say I don't think that a person like me can get kicked off a platform because I have both good intentions and in this case you know I have the truth on my side. So you don't get kicked off for that. Anyway I will talk to you all later.
