    Got to ask -

    Before the internet was created, were you being denied your rights when a paper wouldn't publish your op ed letter or Fox News wouldn't
    give you air time to tell the world your views?

    Sounds GOOD.

    I mean, it is a Good START.

    These sites are being used to foment and further the sort of Deadly Domestic Terrorism that Trump INCITED.

    As far as the NRA?
    The 2nd Amendment isn't going anywhere
    And, the Big Bad Government ISN'T going to "take anybody's guns".

    The FACT of the matter is This:

    Fringe RW Domestic Terrorist Groups have gotten a Free Ride for the last 4 years.
    (As, the presence of Trump--A Mistakenly-Elected Conspiratorial Whackjob, in the White House--legitimized their Misguided Conspiracies).

    All that is going to happen is THIS:

    Those Domestic Terrorist Groups will fade back into the Dark Corners of the Deep Web.
    (Just like they were before a Tinfoil Hat Imbecile like Trump.was Elected).

    Once again, this is a Good START.
    Hopefully, this purge of Domestic Terrorist Groups Continues.

    Sounds good.

    Are you a fan of 1930's Germany?

    Is that why you have a Symbol of the Third Reich as your avatar?

    You seem to be quite of fan of the bygone days (of Germany) yourself.

    Anyway, any reference to the situation in the OP to "1930's Germany" is Hyperbolic (and Supremely Misguided).:bored:

    Still, since we are on the subject of 1930's Germany, we might as well enjoy it:



    Carry on.:salute:

    1930's Germany sounds good to you.

    That certainly has been the prevailing sentiment on the Left lately...

    We weren't And no one cared because papers didn't invite you to produce content for their benefit. More did they claim to be the universal public square. And not a single government legislated that a publisher wasn't allowed to let you produce your content.

    When I was growing up all there was for news were ABC, NBC and CBS in black and white even! Looks like we are headed back to those monochrome days of "You get what we say you get peasant" ;)

    Funny thing is, that's the type of focused bullshit that spurred the rise of the Hippies and the hate for "The Man".. Now the old ass Hippie is bringing back what they so hated about the sixties..

    Ya I know, it's a bassackwards culture right? It was then and even more so today, but much more dangerous!

    Good point.

    Apparently, some of these people have never heard of terms like "Turnabout is Fair Play" and "Elections have Consequences"?

    I see a great business opportunity here. The way to beat the Internet Industrial Complex is to beat them at their own game. Get some investors together and start a server farm. I would do it offshore as to be clear of President Harris' Gestapo.

    Sorry, your unpopular ideas are bad for business. Free market capitalism biting you guys in the bum. Don't like it? Move to China or something.

    That is a bit different than content creator getting a million or more followers who like his message and then a platform kicks him off, when he goes to an alternative platform they take that platform down, when he goes to an overseas platform provider they go to the government and attempt to get it closed down. If you can develop an audience of millions, then your message resonates. What you are arguing for is free speech for the billionaires and curated speech for everybody else. You live in a fantasy land where the zeitgeist never changes. It could change very rapidly and if the time comes where your thoughts don't coincide with the will of the billionaires, it will be your ox being gored.

    This year has revealed that the globalist corporations now have far more power than the federal government. They control the media and the government. They operate completely above the law. This has to end.

    A most astute observation, Citizen Butterballs.

    I once believed that the Internet had democratized information, but now that the Internet Brownshirts have taken over those days are over. As you correctly observed, it's back to the monochrome days of "You get what we say you get peasant".

    It would be one thing if it were just a bunch of young rebels without a clue who grew up and assumed the reigns of the establishment they once kicked around. That's been going on forever.

    What makes this dangerous is that the New Left has become the authoritarian and totalitarian Old Left. When I identified with the New Left we were all about individual freedom but the progs I left behind have become the enemies of individual freedom.

    It's funny, last night I was thinking about the old Samizdat networks that the dissidents in the Communist Bloc ran to keep the free flow of information moving in their rights-repressive "progressive" shitholes. It was one of those networks that got Doctor Zhivago out of the USSR and into the West where it finally got published and earned Boris Pasternak a Nobel Prize (and his mistress Olga Ivinskaya a trip to Lubyanka).

    Lara-78bc337ce9ffd6187d5630159226121d8013966e.jpg

    Never in my wildest nightmares did I ever expect to see such a thing in this country, but lo and behold! Here we are.

    The sick part is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn saw this happening 45 years ago, but virtually nobody paid attention:

    [​IMG]

    "It is with a strange feeling that those of us from the Soviet Union look upon the West of today. It is though we were neither neighbors on the same planet nor contemporaries. And yet we contemplate the West from what will be your future, or we look back seventy years to see our past suddenly repeating itself today. And what we see is always the same as it was then: adults deferring to the opinions of children, the younger generation carried away by shallow, worthless ideas; professors scared of being unfashionable; journalists refusing to take responsibility for the words they squander so easily; universal sympathy for revolutionary extremists; people with serious objections unable or unwilling to voice them; the majority passively obsessed with a feeling of doom; feeble governments; societies whose defensive reactions have become paralyzed; spiritual confusion leading to political upheaval. What will happen as a result of all this lies ahead of us. But the time is near, and from bitter memory we can easily predict what these events will be."

    which could be the point as the site is up, could be a false flag to bring attention to their company

    As always when I read these threads I make a donation to NRA. This time I think I will also donate to GOA.
