gab.ai's creator from the article:

> All of you: fuck off. Take your morally superior, elitist, virtue signaling bullshit and shove it. I call it like I see it, and I helped meme a President into office, cucks.

I have a hard time seeing how people like this can expect others to be tolerant of behaviour like this. You don't get a free pass to be a dick for "freedom of speech" issues. Even McDonald's has a basic "no shirt, no shoes, no service" decency policy.

Being a bully was never acceptable, not recently or before the era of political correctness. I don't envy their capability of moral distortion. For the white grande superior nationalists it seems as if it's a time where critiquing and calling them out for their bigotry and moral incoherence is willingly confused with attempts of censorship and proto-fascism. When he says "shove it", it's a bitter sign of relinquishment from someone who has nothing to lose because he has no arguments anymore to fight the system that doesn't seem to exclusively cater to him anymore.
