    SO much false equivalence here, but the most important distinction is that it was at the behest of the US government that Kimmel was silenced. No matter who it was or what was said, this is not only not okay, it’s deeply illegal. Nothing of the sort was remotely the case with Gina Carano.

      And you can prove that? Because if you can, then its pretty easy to sue and win as that would be extremely illegal. So, the evidence of that is… Oh wait, there isnt any. Its just that Carr said stuff, and people think that means something. But it doesnt. As there would be no way to enforce it legally. Thats why there is no official “order”.

      Its not false equivlence, its the same fucking thing. You just dont like it because its outing you for what you are, a culture war weirdo who gets off on this constant and needless drama.

      And not for nothing, but Gina Carano was getting rape and death threats because she wouldnt change put her pronouns on her bio. That was what prompted her to make the comparison to the atmosphere that nazis created around Jewish people. When the same thing happened to Laura Bailey because she was the voice of Abby in the Last of us part 2, there was public outrage. But for some reason, its totally fine that Gina got rape and death threats because she was a moron that spouted dumb maga nonsense… Yeah, no. No one should be getting rape and death threats, just like no one should be getting murdered, and no one and I mean fucking no one, should be allowed to keep a platform that they use to corrupt or mislead the public. The only issue I have with Kimmel being taken off the air, is that hes not even close to be the only one who does it. Fox News, which I know you will agree with me on, has been doing that shit for years. They need to be held to account as well. More in fact.

      At the end of the day, its all a fucking circus. A soap opera played out in easily digestible clickbait headlines that no one ever reads beyond. We believe screen shots from twitter uploaded on to imgr and reposted on reddit before being reposted on twitter again, as long as they align with our narrative. But when someone posts a link to a source discounting that random twitter post, all of sudden everyone is hyper critical of believing random news articles and you need “better” sources, like any source would actually change anyones mind once its made up.

      The whole thing is a fucking shit show, and the fact that you are all saying the same things, word for word in some cases, is fucking hilarious to me. You can either see this information for what it is, and revaluate your relationship to social media and have a serious look at what its doing to you, or you can just call me a cunt, hit that downward facing arrow and be on you merry way, confident in the knowledge that you put a “fascist” in his place… The choice is yours, chief. If nothing else, I hope you have a great weekend. Even if you do end up calling me a cunt lol. Take care.
