As Twitchy reported earlier, YouTube proudly announced in a blog post Wednesday that it had taken steps to remove hate from its platform — which resulted in a history teacher who curated an educational repository of Nazi propaganda being banned for promoting hate speech.
And of course, you’ve already read about thick-skinned Media Matters alumnus Carlos Maza’s eventually successful campaign to have Steven Crowder’s videos demonetized — videos which were in line with YouTube standards Tuesday night but found to be “harming the broader community” by Wednesday afternoon.
While Dana Loesch was waiting to hear back from YouTube if Stephen Colbert’s “comedy” skit showing her getting shot was in violation of its standards, she posted this great thread on modern-day book burners.
Progressives/socialists are the modern day book burners. Everything they dislike must be silenced, any challenge to their thought banished, be it with deplatforming, milkshakes, or burning buildings. Speech must be all hive-mind. It’s at level ridiculous.

What was that thing Vox’s Maza had tweeted? “Deplatforming works and we should use it way more aggressively”?
Yet these are the folks that actually accuse the people they’re trying to silence of narrow-mindedness. Newsflash: We aren’t the ones pushing to deplatform and demonetize all speech with which we disagree.

That this issue exploded yet again with new controversy and seems to be, tonight anyway, hitting peak Ludicrous Speed on the eve of DDay is kinda surreal.

Speaking of D-Day, remember when CNN’s Chris Cuomo joined the chorus of those comparing Antifa thugs to World War II veterans storming the beach at Normandy? Of course, now he denies that he ever endorsed Antifa. Tweet’s still up, Chris.
Someone made a video calling you a name and they put it on Youtube? QUELLE HORREUR!! Can you get away from the video by CLOSING YOUR COMPUTER, APP, OR BROWSER? At some point it stops being about “safety” and becomes solely about vengeance. Stop conflating them to hide intent.

Unless the video has morphed into an actual being and follows you around the house, thereby removing from your options the ability to CLOSE YOUR COMPUTER I don’t get your beef.
Is this because of participation trophies?
Hormones in milk?
Good grief.— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 6, 2019
Seriously, no one takes more abuse on social media and handles it with more grace than Loesch — maybe she could lend some of her thick skin to Maza.
