“threatening to throw Jews into the gas chamber, they're not censored at all because they don't mind when right wingers sound obscene and horrible”
The extreme example ('throw Jews into the gas chamber') and charged descriptors ('obscene and horrible') are selected and worded for maximum emotional impact, where more measured alternatives exist for describing the content moderation pattern.
“you may laugh, or mock, or scorn, or howl like an hysterical hyena while rolling on the floor, gripping your stomach, and screaming”
Leverages ridicule and mockery as the primary persuasive tool to discredit the professor and the lecture through crowd-sourced derision.
“some poor schnook of a dad in Kansas is looking at shelling out 60 big ones a year, or nearly a quarter million dollars overall, to have his kid listen to a guy named Gassan Haji talk about Islamophobia and global warming”
