    It's funny how NY Post tries to reconcile their glee at antifa getting 'dealt with' with their horror that 'communist' tech companies are cracking down on freedom of speech.

    As a source for this article, they cite Andy Ngo, an alt right shithead whose newest book's subheader is 'Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy'.

    They also seem to draw the number in the headline from this tweet by an antifa org in Sactown, which states that an account with 17k followers was suspended. How that gets reported as 71k is unclear (is there some shared experience all rightists go through that cause them to have Zenz-like mathematical abilities? Licking boot is that toxic?)

    Edit: changed post to fix hostile tone.
