They absolutely are, I would just guess that you're privileged enough that it hasn't affected you personally. Try to acquire some empathy, it's a good thing to have.

Dude I've been bullied, insulted and degraded, I've had ideologies try to ruin my life, people have told me to kill myself for traits I was born with. I'm not "privileged" enough to escape that, I got it as bad as anyone else. It would be very convenient if I could just shut up anyone who wants to insult me, but that wouldn't be a good thing. Restricting speech is just not the answer.

Wow, you went through all that and still didn't learn anything. Pretty sad.

I wouldn't brag about it. Keep it to yourself, it's less embarrassing.

I'm sorry, I was supposed to learn that we should live under totalitarianism so my feelings get protected? I'm sorry that I've been so miseducated then.

I mean, it's pretty blatant we already live under a totalitarian society. Corporations run and own absolutely everything and we have no sway over what they do or how they are organised, Mircosoft hold all the keys here and like you said they get to decide how speech is decided and thats final as far as they are concerned. They aren't doing it to protect anyone, they just want to keep shareholders and that means avoiding their cutting-edge tech saying some weird shit that might scare away sponsors and a bigger userbase. They aren't protecting anyone, just their bottom line.

We have decent living conditions in the West and sometimes they feel generous enough for us to have a bit of a say in what candidates from the hugely privately funded parties - who align economically - get to hold positions. But otherwise we don't get to decide who runs the banks, the corporations, the privately owned energy sectors, the military and so on. We have no say in any of it and the vast majority of wealth and power belong to a relatively tiny portion of the population.

That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen.

What a made-up persecution complex. OK drama queen. "Totalitarianism", my fucking god. 😂

I get you're so unhinged you posted the tantrum twice, but you'll have to check the other one for the actual response.
