Trump meets his greatest enemy: an HOA in Florida.

Hardly any better but I suppose it requires at least a determination those words/emotes were used in the context of continued harrassment. Of course what constitutes as harrassment is different depending on the admin reviewing the report.
A streamer has full authority over what words can be used in their chat and can make it so typing certain words results in an automated timeout from their chat, usually 10 minutes. They or their moderators can also just ban those people completely so this new TOS rule seems rather pointless.

Well, he certainly doesn't look like someone with an underlying condition.

Dusty Rhodes needs to shut the hell up

Ah, yes, because nowadays, simply disagreeing isn't enough. You must be offended. I get the part where you don't agree. I don't get the part where you feel it's an attack.

Methodical Management

As far as my own experience goes, I got radicalized in a rightward direct because of Meet the Press and the responsible moderate Democrats. It’s 2002 and early 2003 and I’m 18 and trying to figure out how the world works and every Sunday, I get told that by the most respected members of both Parties that: crime is everywhere; workers will game the system so public assistance must be stingy and come with conditions; wages are based on an objective a measurable skill set; women make less than men because they are baby crazy and seek out “easy” jobs; the world is full of scary Arabs and Russians, who want to kill us; and so on.

If you accept the framing of the MSM and the respected statesmen from both parties, then right wing policy makes sense and left wing policy is deeply irresponsible. Again this is my own experience but “Meet the Press” kick started my rightward shift and a combination offline experiences and online stuff moved me left.

Also, not to defend Facebook and other sites’ algorithms but it seems like they make right meaning people more rightwing and left meaning people more rightwing. Moreover, as we saw in Ezra Klein’s article a few weeks ago, racial attitudes have been getting better all while social media becomes more and more widely used.

Not to defend Facebook but it could act in a responsible, civic minded manner tomorrow and we’d still have very real, very offline forces of history, economics, public policy and lack of moral leadership from academia and the legacy press that makes radicalization so easy.

If a Television network was smart they would make this a live television event. All proceeds go towards paying additional unemployment benefits
