Or we could, you know, just tweet about. — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps we should consider electing your father President of the United States, in an unlikely campaign supported by the alternative media and opposed by the establishment. This would make him uniquely positioned to back legislation outlawing the censorship practices of Big Tech. — PolitiTweet.org

@DanielleSavoy My comment holds for Katie as well as most all of the Breitbart-Bannon constituency. Their angst and anger is inversely proportional to their childlike ideology and political proposals. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@AnHeroPrime @TOOEdit It's even worse than that, tbh... They can justify theologically what's happening. Average Catholics aren't like this, of course. The professional ones are. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@TOOEdit I was never friends with Katie, but I knew her. She combined extremist emotions and hatred with utterly conventional opinions. She was basically the ultimate Breitbart idiot. And not exactly "trad" in her personal life... — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@DSAMikeP I saw your tweet. We came to very similar conclusions. — PolitiTweet.org

@EvanMcLaren I heard this anecdote before. I didn’t believe it then, nor now. — PolitiTweet.org

@realitycalls8 What should we make of those Alt-Right personalities who retain their blue checkmarks? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@realitycalls8 They did verify me in 2016, took that away in late 2017. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

While Republicans controlled the presidency and both Houses, I lost most all social media and payment accounts. Twitter is my last refuge. Forgive me for wondering if things might be better—and certainly no worse—under Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Under Obama, I had access to all social media and payment platforms. It was only after Trump got elected that I was banned from Twitter (before being let back on a month later). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

As to whether deplatforming would be worse under the Democrats, let me express some skepticism due to my own personal experience. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Yes, government regulations can sometimes suck, but they offer clear guidelines that we can follow—and clear paths for an appeal process. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

At the moment, these companies are black boxes. You get banned out of the blue, seemingly at the whim of some individual employee, for a violation you don’t understand and which is haphazardly enforced. Appeal if you want, but it’s a shot in the dark. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In opposing de-platforming, we are attemting to achieve *transparency*, *consistency*, and the *ability to appeal*. These goals are served by the treatment of social media and payment processors as public utilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

You can’t go to the next social network down the street or build your own; effectively, a handful of companies are it. And being that social media and funding sources are vital to elections, they must be considered to be of public concern. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

These “private companies” have a monopoly over the public square, transaction space, and, increasingly, political outcomes in the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Another bad, tired argument about de-platforming goes like this: “We don’t want government regulating social media. They’re private companies. And what would happen once the liberals take over? Again, no. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Most conservative leaders wouldn’t mind seeing Dissident X get screwed. It makes them the only viable opposition. Others tell themselves that they’d be winning if it weren’t for those damn “radicals” and “white supremacists” who make them look bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The only question is: Do you take dissident political thought seriously or not? Pleading to conservatives on the basis of empathy or their own self-interest is fruitless. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Opposing deplatfroming is about *supporting dissident political thought*. Period. De-platforming is a direct attack on key individuals and specific kinds of speech. The vast majority of people engaged in system-approved, meaningless political chatter simply won’t be affected. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Sorry, but no. Most conservatives need not worry about de-platforming: they’ll be free to praise free-markets and family values and fret over creeping anti-Semitism unimpeded for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

There’s a tired, bad argument regarding de-platforming that goes something like this: “Everyone on the Right should be concerned about the banning of Dissident X. Soon, they’ll be no conservatives left on social media! — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkBrahmin @DSAMikeP In Karate Kid II, when Daniel travels to Okinawa with Miyagi, the bully he faces and defeats is named “Chozen,” who runs a dojo (for Americans GIs) that resembles Cobra Kia. His name is a bit on the nose, don’t you think? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@fka_max @Photo59Smart @EvanMcLaren Bannon wanted to use the Alt-Right vibe and even label when it suited him, around the time of Hillary’s speech in 2016. After that, the “Alt-Lite” has been nothing but hostile. — PolitiTweet.org
