why is this happening.

    I'm going to guess that you are talking about Destiny here. Destiny is not being portrayed as a socialist in the debate. Destiny is labeled with the word "capitalism" in the image of the tweet. The debate is being called "Capitalism vs Socialism" and Destiny is representing capitalism.

    And I hate to say it but Destiny has the larger platform. He gets thousands of live viewers on average. The Serfs only usually get around 600. Destiny will likely stream his own perspective of the debate on his channel. Destiny will be platforming 2 socialists on his channel: The Serfs and Wolff.

    You can't deplatform someone who has a larger platform than you.

      No. I mean the Serfs as supposed socialists, should not be platforming gamers famous for saying the N word alongside a respected economist. I have no idea where you guys are getting this nonsense.

        I have no idea where you guys are getting this nonsense.

        I misunderstood your sentence.

        "so maybe lets not platform reactionaries as supposed socialists." reads as "so maybe lets not platform 'reactionaries as supposed socialists'. "

        You are missing a comma at the least: "so maybe lets not platform reactionaries, as supposed socialists."

        Better wording would be like: "maybe supposed socialists should not platform reactionaries".

        I want to be clear that I am not nitpicking your grammatical ability as some kind of dunk on you. I genuinely could not understand that wording of your sentence. I try to word my posts in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. I hope that everyone on the site does the same.

        Destiney is playforming them. This is a big push. Hopefully they can grab some of his heat.
