    Twitter suspends alt-right accounts
    Jessica Guynn , USA TODAY 5:19 a.m. EST November 16, 2016

    Twitter released a new set of tools on Tuesday that could finally stop the unregulated craziness that happens on Twitter. The 'Mute Words' feature gives the user the ability to mute certain words, phrases, hashtags, emojis, or usernames.


    SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter suspended a number of accounts associated with the alt-right movement, the same day the social media service said it would crack down on hate speech.

    Among those suspended was Richard Spencer, who runs an alt-right think tank and had a verified account on Twitter.

    The alt-right, a loosely organized group that espouses white nationalism, emerged as a counterpoint to mainstream conservatism and has flourished online. Spencer has said he wants blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Jews removed from the U.S.

    Twitter on Tuesday removed Spencer's verified account, @RichardBSpencer, that of his think tank, the National Policy Institute @npiamerica, and his online magazine @radixjournal.

    "This is corporate Stalinism," Spencer told The Daily Caller News Foundation. In a YouTube video, entitled Knight of the Long Knives, an apparent reference to the purge of Nazi leaders in 1934 to consolidate Adolf Hitler's power, Spencer said Twitter had engaged in a coordinated effort to wipe out alt-right Twitter.

    "I am alive physically but digitally speaking there has been execution squads across the alt right," he said. "There is a great purge going on and they are purging people based on their views."

    Twitter declined to comment on the suspensions, which included the accounts of Paul Town, Pax Dickinson, Ricky Vaughn and John Rivers.

    This is bullshit, but twitter has been banning peoole for quite some time that won't play nice with leftist crazies.
    Hahaha damn leftist crazies. Always talking crazy talk about Corporate Stalinism and the Knight of the Long Knives and the elimination of the white race.
    Oh. Oops.
    Not leftist.

    If he could have run for a third term, do you think Obama would have won? I think so.

    I think so, but most of us also thought HC would win in a landslide, so who knows.

    At the Museum of Tolerance here, visitors are given a choice to enter one of two doors, one of which is labeled "no prejudices".

    No entry on that one.

    We elected the King of the Birthers to be President and he named the head of Exxon to be Secretary of State. Difficult to argue against any of those charges in the thread title going forward. Looks like the answer across the board is yes.

    Despicable comments especially about Michelle...say what you want about Obama president policies but they are a genuine loving classy family IMO.
    Paladino needs a good slap in his mouth.

    You okay?
    You just made a thoughtful, apparently honest post, without a single meme, derogatory comment, or link to a fake news site.

    Happy Chanukah

    I try to match intellect with intellect and stupidity with stupidity. You can say my posts reflect the board as a whole. I give what I get except the name calling and stereotypical judgments. You would be hard pressed to find those from me, more than enough on here to take up and waste that space.
    Don't short change me, I try to have honest discussion but usually my posts go straight to conversation degradation or Phil Collins on the drum kit.

    Happy Holidays! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas!

    How did this question even occur to you when reading that article?
    I have a lot of thoughts related to homophobia after reading that (I find homophobia extremely upsetting), but there is no link to sexism or racism in that article as far as I can tell, so I don't understand why, of all questions that could be asked, you asked the one that you did. :confused: :
    FWIW, the quotes about how a part of "straightness" involves viewing homosexual sex as gross really piss me off.... 1) that isn't true for many, many non-homophobic straight people in any case, and 2) I'd like to meet a straight man who says he's not turned on by some girl-on-girl action and who thinks all homosexual action is "gross" and first call him a liar for saying he doesn't get turned on from girl-on-girl action and then throw his hypocrisy in his bigoted face.
    PS - Brokeback Mountain is a cinematic masterpiece IMO
