    among the lemmings clones and NPCs I agree. But people like Carlos Maza, I know his feelings aren't hurt when Steven Crowder talks like he does are refers to him in the way he refers to himself.

    Carlos Maza is hurt because he knows he's wrong and he can't argue. So he resorts to ad hominem.
    from the lemmings clones and NPCs yes, but everyone involved in that was involved in theater. And I'm going to toss the lemmings clones and NPCs a bone here. The act was convincing. When it first broke I gave pause, then what I heard Fords testimony it was clear it was a joke on the American people.

    There are people still committed to the falsity that Kavanaugh did these things. Though I do understand they are predisposed to believe anything that their overlords say, just like any other religion, evidence doesn't support it.

    no I am and I gave an example. down here in Texas we say you're talking out of your ass.

    Generalities must be represented by examples.

    You have either of those things.

    It seems like you're just stating something from a party perspective without any knowledge. You have stated several times you have no knowledge. Therefore you cannot speak generally you speak ignorantly

    You are speaking generally you are speaking ideologically. I am speaking generally.

    I agree, they are not "fine people"

    youtube does not have to endorse that nonsense

    if it was a government run website, they might have too

    just like fox, cnn, msnbc gets to pick who they give airtime too

    you can be rude all you want - doeesn't change anything

    I am stating based on the article

    "YouTube announced plans on Wednesday to remove thousands of videos and channels that advocate neo-Nazism, white supremacy and other bigoted ideologies in an attempt to clean up extremism and hate speech on its popular service."

    "The tension was evident on Tuesday, when YouTube said a prominent right-wing creator who used racial language and homophobic slurs to harass a journalist in videos on YouTube did not violate its policies. The decision set off a firestorm online, including accusations that YouTube was giving a free pass to some of its popular creators."

    I know nothing about the guys site, never seen him

    basically when you-tube gets reports it investigates to see if it violates it's TOS

    sometimes they may get it wrong, I agree with that

    what I disagree with is they are a pro-right or a pro-left site

    You are just parroting public relations hokem YouTube put out.

    You can disagree all you want you do so from a place of ignorance rather involuntary or willful.

    Nothing in what you quoted is correct.

    A right-wing Creator did not harass anybody. The right-wing Creator did not use racial slurs, the right-wing Creator did not use homophobic slurs. And it was not used against a journalist.

    YouTube Taylor makes its policies to promote left-wing people that's the statement I made in the first place and you said you disagree and you disagree based on ignorance.

    Steven Crowder did not use racial or homophobic slurs he use the proper words Latino Hispanic and gay and queer those are not slurs. Carlos Maza the target is not a journalist he is an activist. He used the exact language to describe himself that Steven Crowder did.

    YouTube is being biased that's the point I'm making.

    Carlos Maza is inciting violence YouTube does not care and the only reason that someone can get away with what they're accusing other people of doing even though they're not is because there is a bias within YouTube.

    Yep, the so-called 'anti fascism' tribe have stopped pretending they're not the actual fascists.

    Not sure why they even bothered pretending in the first place, since this was always their goal. Maybe that last, dying, molecule of liberalism in their souls restrained them. Evidently it's dead now.

    Yes, they don't seem to get this. But then, we are dealing with 'unusual' brains. I mean, Progs .. sheesh. It's like asking emotional 8 year olds to hold the fort.

    It's pretty obvious that the trend among the "anti-fascists' is more authoritarianism. In some ways though, I prefer the days when they wore the masks of believing in democratic pluralism. Now that those masks are off, I realize there isn't any room for compromise with those guys.

    'Extremist' views like those which .. in just the past three years have proven themselves to be the ordinary opinion of the majority in America, the UK, Europe, and Australia (See: Election Results if you're unsure).

    I mean, that's only the entire First World. And given that the Second and Third Worlds are enthusiastically conservative, there's surely nothing to see here.

    Bless your heart though, it was a cute pitch :D

    We made the mistake of thinking that the days of 'theocracies' were well and truly over for the West. There are many things we'll never do again, but ideological totalitarianism doesn't appear to be one of them. We actually prided ourselves on NOT living according to some dogma or other. But then they do say pride goes before a fall, so yeah.

    The oddest thing is that when it came, it came from the very people who opposed this stuff in the 20thC. No one could ever have foreseen that, in 1969.

    Yeah, this isn't the 21st Century I thought it would be. I thought it would be all moon bases and air cars. Instead it's turned out to be about liberal speech codes and rigid dogmas.

    Someone “promoting” transgenderism isn’t hurting anyone or spreading hate, violence or discrimination, so why would such a video be removed?
