OK, let's say we live in some bizarre alternate universe where being a hypocrite is illegal. Let's say in this alternate universe you are the prosecuting attorney against Sargon. If this is the evidence you bring in front of the Jury, you are going to have a bad day.
There is a difference between "Sargon called for a Metokur ban." and "Sargon said 'Metokur did these things'." You understand that right? You understand that there is a little bit of nuance in the situation right?
No, you don't understand nuance. Nuance is a foreign concept to an SJW.
Did you not read what I wrote above? I said I like Ralph's show. I just think he should do something besides sperg out about Sargon. Come up with some better content. The only time Ralph is worth watching is when Metokur comes on.
OK, sure. I don't want Ralph's show deplatformed. But, back to the point at hand. Where is the smoking gun? Where is Sargon saying "Deplatform Ralph."? I'm not talking about some limp dick SJW nonsense where you find some Cow Board sperg taking the situation out of context. I'm talking about Sargon saying "Deplatform this person."
Because gallows humor is a thing.
In the same way that I'm not in any way a racist, BUT, I'll drop a racist joke at every opportunity because it's funny. So, fuck off NiggerFaggot. It's OK to joke about stuff you disagree with. (Unless you are of the mindset of an SJW. In which case NO JOKING IT'S TRIGGERING)

both of the tweets I showed you are literal calls for deplatforming if you just want to ignore that so you don't have to give up on your favorite eceleb, it's fine with me. You might be able to lie to and trick yourself but don't expect anyone else to put up with it. you keep trying to muddy the waters but you're shit at it.
that's a convenient thing for you to focus on considering my point is "sargon doesn't actually care about free speech
nobody cares that's not the point, it could be anyone.
he retweeted a call for warski to be deplatformed you can keep pretending to be illiterate but I provided evidence of this, and he said in so many words that it was funny that ralph got deplatformed because fuck him. You can contrast this with shoe on head who gets made fun of by the killstream as well be she came out against the deplatforming on twitter rather than laughing at it, because censorship is more wrong than people making fun of you unless you're an egotistical dishonest piece of shit like sargon
if you started a political movement about opposing racism, like sargon started one allegedly about supporting free speech, you would have to take that more seriously. Sargon claimed to be a serious person and that he was serious about his political movement and his proclaimed principals and I'm judging him as such.
and if you want to talk about acting like an SJW you're the one who keeps accusing me of being part of some group apprapos of nothing in order to invalidate the things I'm saying. When did I bring up the /cow/ board? when did I say this was about "my tribe"?
