  But that isn't the line, the line is don't be Sargon of Akkad.

    "Don't be"? He's been declared outlaw and hunted across the land? No? He's been rounded up and put in a camp? No? He's been arrested? No? A company doesn't want the business of him and his followers. That's it.

    And tomorrow the line will be don't be Republican. People will not take this lying down.

    OK with that line too. Guy's a douche.

      And what about when the line is you? Will that also be OK? First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me. -- Martin Niemoeller

        That citation is about putting people in concentration camps, not about free speech. It is characteristic of the people now banned by Patreon - and their followers - to stylize themselves as martyrs. However, they are just unwelcome, like someone ranting loudly at a bar. There is nothing going on that threatens anyone's life.

        But in this case, they're banning the people coming for us...

      And tomorrow the line will be don't be Republican. Republicans were banned IRL from a public parade in Portland, OR.

        Can you link to what you are talking about? Because if it's what I think it is, this is my neighborhood. It was a parade cancelled to avoid violence, mostly by people who don't live in this neighborhood and don't care about the parade but about politics.
