I was on and off Twitter pretty quick. There was just something about it I never got. The blog I totally control. Facebook … uh … I just knew a bunch of people. Twitter never made sense. Years later and I still get traffic here from there. Thank you to whoever Tweets my rambling madness. I am grateful.

My choice to leave Twitter was voluntary. Others, lately, haven’t had the option. Twitter has waged a war against members of the Alt-Right. They’ve been kicked off the platform in droves, victims of an SJW witch-hunt.

The useless Southern Poverty Communism Center is gloating.

The mass bans arrived in tandem with a new Twitter policy that prevents “hate against a race, religion, gender, or orientation”. In the world of permanently offended social justice warriors, “hate” is having a different opinion to them, while “harassment” is replying to their idiocy on Twitter.

The SPLC [SPCC], which is currently embroiled in an effort to force Trump to ditch Breitbart’s Stephen Bannon as his White House strategist, celebrated the news, tweeting “good riddance” in response to a user who tweeted, “Alt-right Twitter says Twitter has mounted a coordinated effort to wipe it out.”

I’m not on Twitter so I’m not sure what they could have said to get banned. I suspect it was nothing. Nothing except good, old-fashioned, Soviet thought policing. I’m not Alt-Right although I agree with a lot of what they say. The label applies to a wide-ranging group of groups so it’s a little hard to know what they stand for. Whatever it is, I support the free expression. It’s a shame others do not.

These stories got me thinking about my liberal friend’s Facebook wish: “I wish Republicans had the same unwavering, unconditional support for the First Amendment that they do for the Second.” Again, I’m 100% with that statement. I also wish that liberals had the same unwavering, unconditional support for free speech that they do for say … abortion.

They only see some speech as free, good, and acceptable. Speech like this:

The Red & Black.

And this:

ABC Tampa.

Good, healthy, progressive free speech. I actually support those who spout hate against my kind, at least as to the right to spout it (minus the vandalism of my highway). It makes me keep some spare mags handy but I support it.

See, I can support the First and the Second at once. Then again, I’m not a Republican.

Anyway, all of this is moot now thanks to Gab. Gab is like Twitter but with free speech and no trolls. Come on over. Sooner than later I would suggest; Twitter is probably on life support. Banning your customers can do that. Once you get there you’ll love it. And you’ll soon out Gab me. I’m the social media version of a turtle with a laptop. And an AR. And a cigar.

And that’s what I’m Gabbin ’bout.
