When your head hits the pillow tonight, remind yourself that you’ve done a good job. You are headed down your path at your own pace, and with every obstacle you are trying your utmost best. Be patient with yourself, and remember that big things are achieved not all at once, but one day at a time.
It should make you uncomfortable to see someone banned from public discourse. There’s no victory in silencing someone.
It should concern you the private owners of these platforms decide for themselves who is worthy of being heard. It can and will be used against you.
Milo is a hate-filled fuck who can pound sand. His contribution to “discourse” is racism and xenophobia which has no place. You only belong in the discourse if you have something of value to add.
As OP said, he can cry moar.
And who will be the one to determine what adds value?
Ummm…societal norms? I mean, if you think Neo-Nazis add value to discourse, then we need to just end this conversation.
Name one thing Milo has said that adds value.
Sorry, I asked who will determine what adds value, not what.
Who will be the one to determine what adds value?
Who decides what social norms are used?
Me.
Jesus, George H.W. Washington, and the president
People who aren’t nazis get to decide what’s of value. People who are nazis get guillotined.
Who decides who’s a Nazi?
Surely we can’t use the honor system, so someone will have to decide.
Okay, who will decide? Mitch McConnell?
Everyone who’s not being purposefully obtuse FUCK MILO I HOPE HE DIES IN DEBT

hades isn’t a badass. hades named his three-headed-guard-of-the-underworld-dog spot. hades whispers to his flowers to make them grow. hades grows fruit. there’s no sun in the underworld.
hades isn’t a badass. stop saying this false thing
In myth, Hades’ most remarked upon traits are 1) how responsible/reliable he is, 2)how sober-minded he is, 3)how dedicated, implacable, and long-remembering he is, and 4)how boring and grim most of the other Olympians think he is to be around. Oh and notably, that if you play him a song he likes, he’ll basically give you anything you ask for(though not without conditions).
Hades is, canonically, a gigantic nerd. If they’d had trainsets, he’d have been the Olympian who collected trainsets, meticulously corrected with exacto knife and hobby-paints the errors toy-makers introduced to those trainsets, and then endlessly talked about those trainsets to anyone sat next to him at Thanksgiving Dinner :| When he wasn’t trying to rope them into an interminable discussion about gardening or divine law, that is :| :| He’s the sort of god who frequently handed out punishment like giving someone a million-piece puzzle where every piece is shaped the same, that resets itself at the start of every day if you don’t complete it, and then he keeps the last piece on his person at all times as a secret private joke for eternity because he finds you personally distasteful(not even because he’s mad at you or hates you particularly; he just doesn’t like you as a person) :| :| :| He is. A Gigantic. Nerd.
He’s also like one of the only gods who is faithful to his wife. And he listens to her like when she asks for a soul to be released and he’s like “But honey, the rules.” And she just gives him that look and he goes “Yes dear,” and lets the soul go with the easiest freaking instructions ever in a myth. And the human still fucks it up. Not his fault Persephone, not Hades’ fault this time. Essentially, Hades is sorta like the accountant suburban dad who collects really specific figurines and gets really grumpy when people mess up his lawn. Do you know how hard his wife worked on those roses? He is calling his attorney. Oh wait, he is also an attorney.

Everybody knows it’s Persephone that you’ve got to watch out for.
