The Krassenstein brothers are the exception but even they weren't banned for their postings, unlike Milo, Alex Jones, etc.

Hot take: Twitter makes it easier for OSINT analysts to track potential loons than if we pushed them elsewhere, so the IC lobby tries to keep Twitter's rules as lax as possible. The Krassensteins (inshallah) aren't going to resort to terrorism, so they can go.

Because right-wingers commit bannable offenses more often.

OJ Simpson (ya know, the murderer) can post all he wants, but don't you dare question trans women in sport.

Left wing causes are more popular to the larger audience.

If 100 people walk down the street protesting, then chances are it will be a left wing cause.

"Spread the wealth to everyone. Down with billionaires! We love Bernie lalala!"

But more right wing causes like strict immigration control are not issues that people will walk down the street yelling or post on Twitter without being labelled racist.

This is one of the best posts ever.

That's inherently because right wing ideology and issues reflect the status quo or even regression.
