That's the most frustrating aspect. They act as if we've trampled on their rights, but all we're doing is conserving our own energy and not carrying water for their ideology.

Since when is anyone freely entitled to my time and attention?

> Since when is anyone freely entitled to my time and attention?

Funnily enough the same people say the same when it comes to pronouns and such. The right (if we can call them that) immediately copied, perfected and weaponized all the attention seeking and whining they've seen and complained about.

It's only hypocrisy when the accused actually does the thing they're asking others not to do.

As far as I can tell, there is no harassment of the OBS team and no demand that they support Rumble as a drop-in. After all, there are many other services they don't support. They are only criticizing the OBS team for making public statements to the effect that they are explicitly not adding Rumble to the list for political reasons.

But even beyond that, it is entirely fallacious to equate Rumble users with the "right wing", and especially not with some nebulous "they" who are interested in the issue. And the idea that making it easier to use a platform is inherently "carrying water for their ideology" is utterly absurd. (Not to mention that the overwhelming majority of them simply do not hold harmful beliefs on anything like the level ascribed to them; their actual beliefs are constantly and grossly misrepresented, leading to a high-profile assassination a bit over a year ago.)

I'm not strongly opposed to your point of view.

How about Truth Social?

I would be more inclined to consider that question, had my comment not been flagged for no reason.

What's "and such"?

I'm not that deep in the culture wars. I just know pronouns is not all that the so called right was whining about.

No aspect of that sentence reflects reality.

The maga idiots tried to get a TV stations license canceled for legal free speech. They hate free speech with a burning passion. I see them talk all the day of how "it is legal" that people of other faiths build religious structures on their own private property. They hate private property and the right to private property. They hate when foreign companies justly and fairly make better and cheaper products, they hate capitalism.

With more detail this time:

> The snowflakes

This is a subjective judgment, but I would say they are nothing of the sort.

> rounding up people for holding up signs

You first of all are not talking about the same people, and commit outgroup homogeneity bias. If we're going to play that game, then we could just as well talk about that one outgroup member who was shot and killed for talking calmly to college students (who had all freely volunteered to do so) and having a dissenting point of view. That death was celebrated by many people, surely at least some of whom are now upset about far milder and more justified actions.

But even then, the people "rounded up for holding up signs" were, in fact, not rounded up for holding up signs but for taking actions that directly impeded the job of those they were protesting. This is amply demonstrated by looking at the facts of each such case of "round-up"; along with noting the copious amount of people holding up signs in the background of every such video, against home no action was taken.

> also think volunteers not actively promoting their views

First off, supporting a streaming platform has nothing whatsoever to do with promoting any particular political view. This is again outgroup homogeneity bias.

Second, nothing of the sort is demanded. The volunteers in question are only being called out for explicitly citing political reasons for their rejection. (I looked up DHH's tweet, and saw that he was citing Lunduke to make the argument; and Lunduke is very explicit about this cause of grievance.)

> are engaged in civilization ending suppression of speech.

This is histrionic and does not bear any relationship to what the critics actually claim.
