A pattern emerges
It sounds as though blood pressure medication isn't the only type of medication you may require.
Normal beliefs (kids don't belong in sexually charged drag shows) are being tagged as "Nazi".
Certain factions have deemed it acceptable to commit unprovoked violence against anyone labeled thusly, accurate or no.
Do you deny this, or not understand? If so, you will continue to struggle in confusion, because it's an incredibly clear concept and phenomena and harder to make much simpler than that.
Followed by the vilification of people with quite reasonable concerns as "transphobes" (a fireable, deplatformable, censorable offense) and "Nazis" (who have been deemed acceptable targets of unprovoked violence).
But for that, most Americans would go back to not caring. Regrettably, some don't understand the concept of boundaries or restraint, or think it doesn't apply to them. Possibly because we have many in the media/entertainment industry, government, and education system telling them that they're right.
Consider the fact that their CEO (admittedly!) abused his admin privileges to fraudulently impersonate users, posting fake messages AS them, expressly to frame them.
We would not know about it, and he might still be doing it today if not for some observant moderators. But nothing happened to him, at all - in fact the people and subreddit he hacked were themselves banned.
THAT is power. THAT is what is meant by "big tech".
Or is this a unique situation unlikely to be repeated? Was this settled to avoid a legal precedent that could be used by other victims of half-baked social experimentation?
It's like restaurant workers deciding to strike, and turning on all the gas stoves and putting food in the fryers before walking out.
Thus, the kid gloves go back on.
They seem to be fully aware of what they're doing and what they're about.
"Hate speech" is the new "think of the children". An easy (and socially acceptable, apparently) way to silence and smear critics.
