Has anybody called full house for the Daily Mail/Fox news bingo yet??

I have never understood the 'Bad guvvermenters taking away muh freedum!' lot throughout this crisis because it's been so painfully obvious they've tried to keep business as usual going as long as they can and only taken action, such as it was, under extreme pressure - and even then, with great reluctance and apology. The outlook since July has essentially been 'make everyone think this is completely over and will never return'. Enforcement? What's that?

I also found this to be a nearly-complete bingo card of inconsistant pop-right tirades. Being anti-EV is particularly hilarious because it's only there through the most casual association with the climate movement, and is essentially a way of keeping the dominance of the private car. I guarantee in ten to fifteen years time when the knuckheads have finally driven an EV they will talk as if they always loved them and how could anyone want to go back to those annoying, slow, unrealiable rattleboxes we had in 2020?

So, since we're elsewhere having a discussion about censorship vs. moderation, I'm curious as to why the OP was "removed" rather than having "deleted" their profile.

I don't know shit about UK politics, my own country is fucked up enough as it is, but aside from some bad takes / unpopular or right wing opinions, I don't see anything ban worthy here. Both the OP and the absolute holier than thou shit fest that followed are infinitely more mild than most of what you see on twitterdotcom.

No one is owed an answer, I'm just curious.

The two words are interchangeable. If you look at the blank box that used to be the OP's avatar, it's "deleted" but if you click on that, it says the profile was "removed".

What?

You'd have to check with MM to be sure but I'm fairly sure the OP deleted their own profile, and the deleted / removed thing is the same regardless of whether someone bailed or got purged. It says deleted on the threads, and removed on the profile.

That's a shockingly low bar to have to clear really. You have to know that if you are venting opinions in a public forum which you aren't immediately familiar people will either violently agree or disagree.
Nobody wants a conversation, they just want to be told they are right.

Meh. Maybe it's hax, maybe it's just someone looking to shed their mediocre following, maybe it's just someone looking to hide under the guise of free speech to behave like a total ball-bag without consequence. Whatever. Nevertheless, a few thoughts:

Takes a bit of nerve to roll up on a fetish forum and basically ask "WTF is up with all this gay/ diversity shit on TV?", doesn't it?

Also, guurl, we've all seen the vids. You enthusiastically filmed yourself screwing in, shall we say, organic fermented kitchen waste, among a pile of other things. Don't @ us with all this high-horse shiite about morality and what's gone wrong with the world.

On that "Deal with it " crack about dying from Covid:
Fucking Ex-cuuuuuse me? Try out that "Deal with it" sentence above, and replace covid with cancer. Oh, not so edgy-sounding now, is it? Ironic how cancer treatments are being put off because the anti-vaxx clowns can't wheeze to death in their ICU beds fast enough.

As far as that garbage TV link goes, Good riddance to anyone dumb enough to take Farage or his Russian ownership seriously.

At least Steve Bannon will be in jail soon. One ticked off a very long list.

If it's alright with you, I'm going to cut that last sentence out and frame it. Maybe the most zeitgeist thing possible.
