|content=Lastly, I want to say what should be obvious: many of the people most threatened by terror, are those standing up for freedom of expression from WITHIN the groups having a problem with [[Totalizing Ideologies|totalizing ideology]] and terror. Search in Farsi/Arabic. That is real bravery &amp; we need to help.

|content=I am increasingly seeing @twitter in a different light: as a company that is willfully physically endangering those that do not share the Revolutionary politics of its staff and management.
 
What if selective application of its capricious terms of service is precursor to murder?

just so long as it is not written in English and barely concealed with a Google Translate button? Am I wrong about this? It seems to be everywhere:

|content=Keep in mind that while this kind of posting is flowing everywhere around you on Twitter, the account you are reading now is heavily throttled.
 
Bottom Line: This isn’t up to @twitter as “a private company that can do whatever it wants”. This is *facilitating* violence to come.

|content=For the rest of you, I know @DouglasKMurray rather well. Let me tell you about his character.
 
He isn’t racist and doesn’t discriminate.
 
That is not to say that his heart is only filled with sunshine and sweetness mind you; I can assure you that he despises all [[Totalizing Ideologies|totalizing ideologies]] that seek to exploit European tolerance and work for the subversion and destruction of free Western market democracies.
 
Race, religion and national origin have absolutely nothing to do with it. He’s simply against [[Totalizing Ideologies|totalizing ideology]]. If totalitarian Methodists, Radical Inuits, Militant Bhutanese or Genocidal Laplanders ever start chanting from “From the Thames, to Cliffs of Dover, the Free UK’s days are over.” Or “Decolonize Bath!” I can assure you he will fight them tooth and nail with equal vigor.
 
Hope that clarifies things. Good night all.

good one.
 
For a second I thought you were serious. Totally fell for it.

|content=This is Douglas Murray:  Eton and Oxford (of course), Associate Editor of The Spectator magazine, and a racist piece of shit calling for civil war. Typical of the incompetent Tory rabble who broke Britain.
