From reporting by The Daily Dot.
Conservative psychologist/alt-right guru Jordan Peterson officially announced that he is launching what he calls a "free speech platform" known as Thinkspot.
Peterson insists that Thinkspot will adhere to his principles of anti-censorship so strongly that the platform will only ban or remove users if it is ordered to do so by the U.S. court of law. Because there's no way that could go horribly wrong.
Peterson also mentioned that Thinkspot will have a minimum word count as opposed to a maximum. "If minimum comment length is 50 words, you're gonna have to put a little thought into it," Peterson said to the right-wing outlet NewsBusters. "Even if you're being a troll, you'll be a quasi-witty troll."
Thinkspot is being marketed as a creator-to-consumer payment processor such as Patreon while also serving as an alternative to services such as Twitter and YouTube.
Thinkspot has an intended release date of August 2019.

Pertinent part of the Original Submission:
At least JR kept the dept. line. I hope no one is putting any actual cash into this!

Seems like RandomFactor is willing to put his cash [soylentnews.org] (where his mouth is?).
(And he's standing in the queue at the ATM - large grin).

Hello fren,
Thank you for clarifying. This site is infested with trans-misogynist, trans-racialist and trans-abelist, trumptardian Nazi bigots who mod me offtopic and troll for simply inviting you to expand on your original submission. Those of us on the morally superior left know [wikipedia.org] everyone to the right of comrade Stalin is a Nazi. It is only proper that we deplatform Nazi ideas but we on the morally superior left must also do something about relentless down-mods of our superior opinions and progressive calls for social justice. Brother, are you with me?
And for the Nazis who continually downmod me, I leave you with with a quote from our patron saint of social justice who knew a thing or two about deplatforming.

Anyone have a spare arrow handy? I see a NPC knee that needs one!
(BTW, Benito was a Communist, before going to the dark side and ending badly, rather like how Donald used to be a New York Democrat. Ok, nothing like that, actually. )

Only a sparrow, magister.
As such, it's unladen - so no consideration of its geographical race (e.g. African vs European) [wikipedia.org] apply, which makes it even harder to swallow.

Mussolini was a fascist. The word fascist comes from the organizations he was involved with. He was never a communist and always opposed them.

Your ignorance of history is profound, AC. Perhaps a course at a nearby community college?

Interesting pick for an author to quote from quite a number of them.
Are you feeling a strong affiliation with him today? Does this happen to you often?

Hello fren,
Why you object to social justice? [campusreform.org]

Am not objecting. I'm only challenging your choice for the authorities you cite in regards with social justice.
I also detect something that looks like a confusion between 'social justice' and SJW; the condition is known to occasionally cause pains and inflammations in the "cognitive dissonance" area - does it happen to you too?

Hello fren,
I know exactly what you mean. It's like when Joe Biden [livescience.com] says he's going to "cure" cancer. How can progressives get behind a candidate like this, at least not in the way feminist Joe gets behind young girls. [youtube.com] Cancer cells are clearly victims of systematic oppression by medical "science" and deserve protected minority status in the liberal utopia we're creating. Don't you agree?

Meh. Just typical hyperbolic polispeak. Like 'we're going to defeat the other team', maybe you will, maybe you won't, it's just a goal. 'Cure cancer' is pretty safe as goals go.
