When the leftists guillotine someone, this will become a more persuasive argument.

Dispite my disagreeing with you and feeling pretty shafted by the removal of Parler, don't take it personally - you're an open source contributer who has earned my respect.
Isn't the whole point of this "deplatforming" to stop incitement?
Yes, after concrete evidence that the incitement is sincere, or being materially interpreted as sincere.

(For the record: I think the guillotine imagery is as offensive as the Pinochet helicopter stuff, which is to say, extraordinarily offensive, and I think less of anyone who uses it. That's easy for me to say though, because I'm also not a leftist.).
