 “Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.” - Mark Twain 
 A baby can't chew steak duhdoy he or her would choke...dumb quote. 
 "I support freedom of expression, but what about hate speech?" - Pretty much everyone I know 
 Censorship is being disbarred, censorship is being behind bars, censorship is having your drivers license revoked, censorship is being taken away in a straight jacket, censorship is losing your voice from all your screaming in silence 

People who complain that being blocked on a social media platform is censorship need to get a real life 
 If you can't call out Injustice, you can't be free..🤔🗽 
 Is the inability to complain on Twitter the same thing as the inability to call out injustice? 
 Did you know I'm related to this guy? Probably not! 
 Eat Steak!

 Not saying it's untrue but not attributed to Twain in this volume from 1948

 Love me some Mark Twain. Brilliant man. 
 This is perfect explanation for what's happening right now for me. I'm expected to work and live like a slave telling me tons of rules telling me what I can't do from a man whose negative about everything. It's mostly him but no one will tell the truth who the culprit is who is feeding him these negative rules to tell me. I'm underappreciated at work and when I leave in the morning I get criticism not kindness. You can't change the culture as long as the people don't want it. It has to come from their boss for it to stop or escalate. And so far America is going backwards to being for gun violence and death row not for kindness
