It's always easy to willfully misconstrue what opposition says to justify their silencing. It's exactly what we're seeing at a large scale.

So dissenting is now considered doing political flamewar? Ok.

In those cases it's the business owner who decides. What happens when the decision comes after a mob puts pressure on the owner to drop that costumer or else?

If the Left didn't want the Right to be mean to them maybe they shouldn't have called them nazis and deplorables.

Probably won't be long before Google starts applying similar pressure.

Obstacles to get in, as opposed to BLM's/Antifa's indiscriminate violence and destruction against anything and anybody nearby.

Were they destroying property and throwing molotov cocktails at them like Antifa/BLM did over the summer?

The left is on the side of critical race theory, the most racist ideology on the planet today.

Apple ties Webkit versions to iOS versions. Once they stop supporting your iOS device every browser on it becomes obsolete.

That sounds reasonable but you don't see mainstream feminism even acknowledge men being disadvantaged against women in certain contexts (family courts, homelessness, etc) and if they do they just blame men for it and continue to advocate for women and minorities only.

Sandboxie is a good option. Development stopped but on the flipside it's fully free now.

So women need a wheelchair but not men? Doesn't seem like sex/gender is a good criteria here. Socioeconomic background would be far more applicable.

Also, to modern feminism equality doesn't mean treating everyone the same but rather to give advantages to what they consider "historically oppressed minorities".

Because people who support these measures are all about the intentions and never care about the results. 60 years of welfare and things are worse off now than before.

We know the solution to poverty, here and everywhere else in the world, is to teach, help and allow people to generate wealth. Instead, programs like welfare only make people completely dependent (for generations) on stealing money from others to the benefit of politicians.
