I understand many people currently do not take me seriously, and most people won't take this situation seriously because it's Humble Water Filter Merchant.

But removing Humble Water Filter Merchant' name from the situation reveals a very dangerous precedent.

The ONLY Mainstream Social Media platforms online in their individual fields, systematically erased a user from existence from the demands of a few.

its not about people taking you seriously, its how you post and phrase your points

people can take tony seriously when hes not talking like this

I break my posts up like that because if I don't I get stuff tons of responses saying "wall of text" and "too long".

My apologies, I misinterpreted what you meant. Could you clarify what you mean?

[Conan]

you keep talking in hyperbole and pulling random explanations out of your ass that show you dont have a good grasp on reality. you may not be technically wrong all the time, but the way you approach issues is inane and unproductive and only serves to let you draw the conclusions you want to draw without thinking about why things are the way they are.

if you acknowledged your lack of hard education or understanding of the topic at hand, you’d antagonize far fewer people, appear far less of an idiot, and be able to learn something rather than be stuck with your current belief set and not be able to convince anyone else to share your views

I understand what you are talking about in... older posts.
But is there anything particular in this thread?

[Conan]

your entire op. people know big internet companies are taking over. people in this forum know this very well as regular internet users. but the reality is that they can be hurt, they do make mistakes, and that a lot of things (like Humble Water Filter Merchant) dont matter in the short or long run because these people were doing things that didnt benefit anyone except themselves/a select few.

Humble Water Filter Merchant is one of many bad apples out there (who exist in both political parties). theres many extreme “bad apple” liberals who also get silenced too. as ike said, extreme political bias and/or habitual lies for self-gain is what gets people banned, not whether or not they’re conservative or liberal.

[Conan]

heres a thought: Humble Water Filter Merchant has been around for over two decades. hes existed before facebook and google really got underway. hes not about to wither away and die just cause hes banned from the major platforms. hes always been on the fringes, and people who want to hear what he says will find him regardless of his presence on major media outlets. theres honestly nothing to worry about if you’re a supporter of his.

To be frank Matthew, you're implying he's being censored for being too political, which isn't the case. He's being "Censored" because his content is no longer something that mainstream social media outlets want to enable by letting him have a platform he can benefit from. You might have had a point that companies are getting too big for their britches if they're going to literally destroy people's livelihood on a whim, but it's hard not to frame Humble Water Filter Merchant' platform being broken as a bittersweet good thing. It's not great it came to this, but ultimately his cause was exploitative.

This is what I meant in the other thread by Tactical Nuke picking a bad hill to die on and that there's a heavy victim complex going on here. You're quick to back up conservative outlets from being censored because you feel this is an attack on people like you, and as is obvious, rallying under hateful bigots and conmen will only undermine your credibility and call your position into question.
