You are definitely lost if you think Sarah Jeong should be sanctioned.


I don't think anyone should be censored/sanctioned. ISIS, Alex Jones, Antifa, let them all speak as far as I'm concerned. But to the extent that there are currently censorship rules in place, I genuinely do not understand them. Enforcement seems genuinely random and arbitrary.

Sarah Jeong mocks white racists, no ban, fine.

Candace Owens copy/pastes Sarah Jeong's tweets, gets banned, not fine.

A world in which Alex Jones gets banned but ISIS does not is total insanity.

To reiterate, I don't want any of the above to be banned/censored. However, in an world in which the above facts exist, I am suggesting I do not understand what the rules are at all. It seems random and arbitrary.
