Facebook does not amplify hate etc. Those people being ‘hateful’ on your Facebook page are the people you have chosen to ‘friend’ – by definition they are your friends, your family, your associates.A few posts later, by his former RMIT buddy Steve Kates, referencing Democrats:
These lice will do anything to win the election, but what will be left of America if they do?OK, I didn't have to "friend" Kates at all to read that bit of Nazi level dehumanisation of his political enemies (ironically, from a person I have been told in comments - by Sinclair? - is Jewish). So am I allowed to think that Catallaxy amplifies hate by friends of Sinclair? Yes, yes I am.
Update: Sinclair continues to host racist Mick Gold Coast, I see.
Insult the host or his besties who he jokes around with, and you're banned from commenting there. Post clearly racist comments repeatedly and they'll be quietly deleted, but (unless it's about Jews) never face a ban. That's how Sinclair rolls.

You should pass on that I usually try and support Sinclair in these situations. Even though I don't like the way he limits discussions in economics by banning me.
Kates is clearly taking inspiration from this Harry Enfield bit of genius:

Tim, that really did make me laugh. Seems to pre-date you somewhat - how did you find it?
I don’t think the Harry Enfield show is that old actually? Fake 1950s newsreels was one of his specialties. This is my favourite:

From the 1990's, I see.
