If you do not like such mockery then start getting outspoken against all the other shitposters. "Freeze Peach" is a mockery of the people who think the First Amendment allows them to override the free speech and freedom of association of others.
No one has a right to a Twitter account, anyone can be banned from a store if the owner doesn't want that person's frozen peaches disrupting their business. Part of the mockery is because these rightwing lunatics are crying foul now that they are getting the ol' boot, but they were perfectly happy to Cancel Kapernick, Dixie Chicks, and so many others.
The term is stupid, and is reserved for people that bastardize the First Amendment. We've tried discussion, we've tried reason, nothing breaks through the propaganda brainwashing, so now we mock their hypocrisy and ignorance. Trying to play nice and rise above their childish tactics just results in drawn out trolling where we play whack-a-mole with their disinformation while trying to kick fieldgoals through posts mounted on a bullet train.

i thought it was just a type of virtue signaling of the type of ignorant and proud presentation--even if they aren't, but are especially trying to fit in and look like a bully by mocking intellectual speech?
