Socialist in the "do as I say not what you want" sense. And in the way they let people on the left get away with harassment and doxing but ban people perceived to be right-wing for criticising feminists. Do you support the revolution or will you go to the gulag?

Your quotation literally has no veracity, whatsoever. You should probably familiarize yourself with the topics you choose to respond to, then compose your response.

Also, the Gulag was a governmental agency in charge of the soviet forced labor camps during the Stalin era. The USSR was communist led. In anticipation of someone asserting that, because of the "socialist" in USSR, the Soviet Union was in fact Socialist, I'd simply point to the "republic" in USSR, or the plethora of easily cited examples of countries being named for political and social systems they don't follow.

So that's A 2/2 score in the dumbass section. Congrats, a perfect score.

Nepotistic, cronyism capitalists, and authoritarian fascists are all terms that come to mind in these situations.

he got unverified, not banned, because twitter doesn't want to look like they verify douchebags. And he is a glorious douchebag

Maybe I don't use twitter enough, but that's not what it looks like to me. "Verified" generally means "we made sure that's who they say they are" - which tells me little more than that. Removing that designation makes it look like you're saying that person is not who they claim to be. But we know that's obviously not the case, so if they did it because he said something they didn't like, it looks more like the act of a petulant child.

And honestly, if they're that concerned about their image over accounts they've verified... https://twitter.com/MikeVick
