Tell me more about how twitter bans are fascism.

How did uprisings, terrorism, and protests occur before the internet? It's amazing people were actually able to coordinate their activities prior to twitter. Perhaps the Chinese in Tiananmen Square had an advance version of twitter before the western world to coordinate their protest activities in 1989. Maybe the Black Panthers had an alien communication system to coordinate their protests as well.
That was partially in jest as I imagine your post was as well. You get my point, hopefully.
Twitter certainly amplifies the ability for individuals to quickly coordinate and communicate but that horse has let the barn. If you really want to prevent communications for radical folks, you're playing a game of whack-a-mole. (private discords, good old IRC, whatsapp, the next platform someone makes...)
Focus on the problem, not the symptom. The problem is that we are creating radicals in this country at a more dramatic rate on all sides. There will always be radicals, we just have a bumper crop right now. Why do you think that is? Who's riling everyone up? Trump certainly has created radicals. I'll admit that. There's one common denominator though that is even more important and that's the media. They're driving division more than anything. Why? To get eyeballs on their content. Eyeballs are money. Leftist elites run virtually all of our media companies and platforms. The second factor in creating these radicals is that people are suffering and struggling. The 3rd factor is that we are educating young people to be radicals in our school and secondary education systems.
Long road ahead. I hate to say this but I expect a very dark decade for our country.
I am focused on the problem, it’s fascism. The crazy radical leftists just voted for moderate Joe Biden.
The rest of that is just word vomit.
You keep saying it's the fascists. What's making the fascists? Are they really fascists?
Maybe think long and hard on this, too:
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
In perfect "new socialist/neo-liberal" form, your party probably better represents that statement than mine...by a long shot. Strip out the "far right" part and it's pretty dead on.
Do Jay Inslee, Kate Brown, and Gavin Newsome meet most of that definition based on their behavior this past year? Hell yeah.
How about "The Squad?" If they get more power, absolutely, that's what it will look.
How about republican Ron DeSantis? Not at all.
The truth is we've got radical viewpoints on all perspectives. Seems like more than ever before. That's the symptom...Problems listed above. Solve it, or there will ultimately be a short-lived revolution of sorts.
