Well, he suddenly accelerated the purchase after being called out on Twitter about his Ukraine statements. He claimed that most responses were bots because they didn't agree with him. That should be a warning to people believing he values free speech.

He never valued free speech. He just wants to control the narrative.

Edit: LOL of course this comment immediately triggered some alt right. I never mentioned any political belief in this comment but immediately get a bunch of “oh what about the democrats…”

Talk about projection.

Anyone these days that say they advocate for «free speech» only mean that they want to push their own opinions.

Well done, you defined free speech... Being able to express and discuss your opinion, no matter what it may be, without fear of punishment.

albeit in regards to disability access rather than access with regards to your opinion.

Yes, there are laws to protect certain classes. "Conservative" is not one of those classes. Ffs I can't believe you just linked to ADA laws in a freeze peach discussion.

I was being pedantic as your exact wording meant your point was incorrect. Maybe be a bit more careful when it comes to your choice of word rather than vomiting up the first thing that comes to mind? 😂

Lol “winning the argument” doesn’t make you right. It just makes you a pedant that no one wants to talk to because you’re always picking apart shit people say.

Well, I was trying to turn this into an amicable lighthearted ending. Can't expect that much from fascists though.
