Is there honestly a struggle to tell the difference between a private company and a government? banning rioters from a plane doesn't seem unreasonable. they are not a protected class.

If the past 12 months has taught me anything it’s that one man’s protest is another man’s riot.

Also, false equivalencies are stubborn... A powerful political figure (the effing outgoing prez) whips up a crowd to invade Congress (not just any federal property) while a critical session is in progress, with armed nut jobs announcing they're here to kill lawmakers and the veep. I don't see anything coming nearly close in recent memory. Professional whataboutists are even out there claiming this was an antifa false flag...

But we are considering the goals and motivations of Team Parler/Stop The Steal, and it's clear that they aren't the victim in all of this.
