      I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve never gotten the hang of Twitter. But reading between the lines, I think this is the sequence of events:

      Libertarian twit tweets a death threat against Harris.

      Libertarian twit is reminded of the rules (and common decency) and removes the offending tweet.

      Libertarian twit passive aggressively tweets about having removed the tweet they twote, invoking the promises of free speech to imply that Leon was censoring their tweets and trampling on their freedoms.

      Leon responds to the complaint with the tweet the twit twote, simultaneously demonstrating that the twit is a twat and amplifying the message.

    > we don’t want to break the terms we agreed to

    > it’s a shame that even on a “free speech”…

    Can’t even stay ideologically consistent in the same post

    Libertarians are just conservatives without the religion and/or who smoke weed. They hide behind the label because they agree with right-wingers but are too chicken-shit to admit it and can say “bUt I’m LiBeRtArIaN” when something heinous happens

      Here in Australia, our libertarian party was the only political party to illegally keep advertising well past the election… Fuckers didn’t even clean up their own signs which they are legally required to

      They’re usually even greedier than normal Republicans too, and lean as hard on the 1st amendment as Republicans lean on the 2nd.

      libertarians are conservatives with even worse critical thinking skills.

      most conservative arguments fall apart when you ask 3 consecutive questions, but it only takes 1 or 2 questions for the typical libertarian argument

        1. We should cut funding to Israel.
        2. We should not tariff Chinese EVs.
        3. Marijuana should be legalized.
        4. The war in Iraq was wrong (either of them).
        5. A woman has a right to bodily autonomy.

    I never know who is replying to who on twitter screenshots at first glance. I know the format predates Elon, but the interface really sucks for any proper discussion.

    Everyone knows that if someone threatened one of the stooges behind this tweet they would absolutely be crying to the website, and police, about it.

    If not even Libertarians will abide by the Non-Aggression Pact why do they think that’s a solution to anything?

      The NAP was always a crock of shit. There is no real rhyme or reason to it. Just a Libertarian’s way of saying “You started it!” every time they get into a physical altercation.

    Yeah something that could easily be taken as inciting a murder, is actually not legal under our free speech laws, so… Yeah, he has no choice in the matter.
