        lol! I was kind of looking at them like a cult yesterday. The argument about safe spaces, and supporting minorities seems like a red herring to me considering I got banned 2 days ago for expressing a minority experience. This isn’t about “tolerating intolerance”, they want an echo chamber.

        The authoritian push is why I left Reddit. Beehaw can do what they want, but I want to talk to a people with differing opinions, and perspectives. I want to argue with people I disagree with, I want to learn new things and challenge my beliefs. I want to see people analyse, and break down discussions to show their flaws, I want to see ideas scrutinized.

        Reddit use to be be a great hub for that kind of content, now any heated topic just gets locked.

        I don’t know how to end this, but yeah!

          Current internet culture makes me feel like Dennis Leary in demolition man.

          Quote: You got that right. See, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I’ve seen the future, you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sittin’ around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death.

          Scene.

            You couldn’t be more on point with this reference. I hate modern oppressive internet culture.
