We now arguably have the justification for shutting down Fox News, Breitbart, Newsmax, etc.

I can, but I don't like the censorship. I can't imagine anybody that does, but I guess that anything that favors a specific group is OK with that group. That is a sad situation.

 

Sure. I have a few million dollars in my mattress. Maybe you should try getting real.

 

I'm targeted on fb for being incorrigibly honest, like happens here when the truth hits those sore spots, any time a whiner gets to a sympathetic fb mod I'm in the hole for another 30 days just for being an honest snowflake. you really gotta be sad if you grumble with fb, just laugh and be happy and the world will laugh with you

 

you had a case?

 

I don't do politics on FB. I am the senior male in my family. I have encouraged others in my family to keep politics out of it. Most do keep politics out of it, but some don't It just feeds resentment in the family

For me it comes down to one basic philosophy. Friends and relatives are forever. Politics comes and goes.

No one is ever going to convince anyone to change their mind on FB and they only feed resentment and hate in the process.

 

Okay, you want to go back to the 70s, weather underground, fine.

I'm only going back to the last 30 years. The age of the internet onward, you're talking the age of telephone booths, my youth.

 

You don't need a million dollars. You can make a website, anyone can. FB and Twitter both started as college pranks.

 

I am as anti-Trump as one can be

However there are issues on both sides. Most people have tunnel vision and only see one side

 

Regardless of what you saying, it is blatantly impossible. I have friends and relatives all over. There is no way I could put together a net to reach them all. Additionally, I have found old friends and old friends have found me through FB.

 

But there was no Facebook or Twitter to squash the competition back in those days.

 

1/4 of the country want to 'get' me for my free speech, that's another reason why I love the carrying on about losing parler
who's responsible for the resentment going on with yours? are their Left minds involved in this consternation?
if minds can't be swayed between those who love each other then we can't expect strangers to have much luck.

 

I remember when I was younger and used to ride the subway. It was filthy and dirty and smelly and uncomfortable, but every day there was this little old man with this little smile. Every day, for the whole ride he was there with his little smile.

One day, before my stop came up I walked up to him. "How do you do it?" I asked. "I mean this ride is terrible. It's noisy, there's no AC but there you are, every day and every day you have this little smile"

He raised one trembling hand and slowly pointed a finger at his temple. Then he looked deep into my eyes while he rotated the finger slowly. "I'm sick," he said, still smiling.

 

How do they squash it now?

 

New York City?

 

Tyrants like Hitler feared the American people. The American tyrants from within should fear them even more.

 

Then how did FB and Twitter do it? They didn't start with millions.

You know, I was going to give a long drawn out reason why your post here is so much in the wrong. But frankly you're not worth it.

 

What is it about the 1st Amendment not protecting incitement of violence that you don't understand?

 

White Privilege. They knew the right venture capitalists.

 

Or maybe there really AREN'T that many millions of people just salivating to have their computers harangue them daily about how water fluoridation is implanting microscopic mind control nanobots to turn their kids gay.

 

people are nuts. One can understand how the herd followed the Shepard to the slaughterhouse.The Dems have lost it

 

LOL!

I called your bluff. No need to get sore about it.

 

I am 83. How many years do you think it would take me to establish a US wide network to reach all my friends and relatives? What FB is doing is incredibly bad and I am surprised that anyone thinks it is OK..

 

If there’s anyone who wasn’t already persuaded that one of our two major political parties has become an enemy, not just of democracy, but of truth, events since the election should have ended their doubts.
