Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”

At this point I feel like Twitter is _trying_ to push Trump's buttons. 4 years of not censoring Trump's tweets and now all of a sudden they have an ethical obligation? Which straw broke the camel's back?

I really don't understand what part of Trump's tweet is "glorifying" violence, can anyone help me out on the rationale?

You could also say that at this point Trump is _trying_ to push Twitter's buttons to justify basically destroying them

"when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Just read that a few times until you get it through your head.

rubber bullets? Everything need not be interpreted with such lethal intent.

Nope, not working for me, not from a politician tasked with the security of the nation.

Just recently a famous comedian suggested injecting him with an air filled syringe, what did Twitter do there?

Twitter has gone and lost their minds. Bring on the down votes I guess.

Are you joking? You really think that given Trump and his base that's how he means for it to be interprted?

1. So suspending rights and allowing cops/the military to be the judge, jury and executioner is somehow okay? These are citizens, no matter how your thinly veiled racism is clearly making you think they're not.

2. Comedians are not the fucking president.

> given Trump and his base

Considering a huge chunk of Trump's base is the religious right, I don't think Trump's base is as bloodthirsty as you think it is.

You've clearly never met anyone who claims to be religious and yet is incredibly ready to shoot a non-white person the moment they look at them funny.

"Lets spread outrage to lure poor people to go out in the middle of a pandemic and maybe then we could also justify to shoot down some of them also as a bonus. Either the hate, or the virus, will take them."

Is this the plan?

This looks more and more like than if the goal would be moving from saving most people possible to culling people in the undesired groups and focusing in saving people in the correct groups. First targeting the more gullible and vulnerable to make them to try unsafe remedies (that only really ignorant people would fall for), then telling people that masks are useless or harassing people that uses it, and now this.

Communities are dumb by default, but are composed of smart people. I would love to see Spike Lee, or Whoopi Goldberg, or Michelle Obama, or Jay-Z to ask people to be smarter than that and keep themselves chill, cold thinking and safe. Going out in a rioting mass at this moment only does a favor to racist people. Don't fall for that.

> Comedians are not the fucking president.

She later clarified it wasn't a joke.

Okay cool, that means exactly nothing.

Please tell me what actual ability a comedian has to get someone to inject Trump's veins with air.

And then consider what ability Trump has to make good on the statement "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Or are you just being purposefully obtuse?

> allowing cops/the military to be the judge, jury and executioner is somehow okay?

They already are. Consider the case where the police shoots someone that is threading the life of someone else.

> no matter how your thinly veiled racism is clearly making you think they're not.

Are you claiming that the looters are of certain racial background(s)?

> Comedians are not the fucking president

Cool, and?

Are you claiming that if tweeter had taken it down the danger of the police shooting looters would be gone?
