> When your political agenda consists of annoying and offending "the other", they need to be present to take offense.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the other". "The other" is an actual concept signifying people who are somehow excluded from society. Rarely do people get banned for going after "the other". Most of these people get banned for going after mainstream journalists and politicians. Many don't get banned for going after anyone at all. And many get shadow banned without any notice or explanation.

Secondly, I don't think people on the right consider what people like Milo (for instance) do to be performative cruelty. They see it as exposing hypocrisy. They see it as exercising their god-given right to free speech.



Milo was more about the grift than the cruelty. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/milo-yiannop...

(entertaining little detail in there of one of the "anti-immigration" activists getting banned from Australia by their, er, immigration control)
