Twitter and YouTube are biased political players attempting to influence the election and other world events through censorship — 14 Comments

  1. Heather’s video is excellent and should be widely disseminated, since it demolishes entirely the fraudulent foundations of the Afro-marxist BLM movement, but, as long as very few Republicans in Congress (and shockingly few members of the “conservative establishment”) show any willingness to fight against the blatant censoring of conservatives by Big Tech, it may not be available for long. Heather and Tucker are despised and reviled so rabidly by leftists precisely because they are the most articulate, most rational, most evidence-based and most-widely-watched opponents of the left, and thus the most dangerous to progressive tyranny.

  2. They’re behaving in a manner perfectly consistent with other Democratic Party supporters.

    Lie, slander, cancel, control.

    And destroy.

    They have the power to do so and who’s going to stop them?

    It’s merely the high-tech equivalent of what the Democrats in the House did to Barr several days ago. Of what the MSCM has been doing for years.

    By the way, Barr isn’t their first victim and likely won’t be their last:

    Yep, a real clear, close-up look at Democratic Party governance. The “good guys” (and don’t you fergit it!)

  3. It’s not just the outright deletion type Censorship; that’s crude but effective for sure. There’s also the censorship that’s invisible, e.g. Twitter Shadow Bans, YouTube silently unsubscribing your followers bit by bit, being ignored by YouTube recommendation engine, being demonetized by YouTube.

    Additionally, if you espouse views to the right of the Overton Window, there is a high probability that you will be blacklisted by payment processors. This can mean not just your site’s credit card facility but also your personal paypal and credit cards suddenly being withdrawn. It has already happened to people. In the present day, a dissident on the Right can be unpersoned and driven from all but the cash and barter economies.

    I wonder how many monks looked with bemusement upon the first few hundred titles of incunabula hitting the market and immediately foresaw the Thirty Years War, Peace of Westphalia, Grotius, Robespierre, Henry Effing Kissinger, etc.? None. We’re in a similar place.

    Had said monks known what was coming down the pike, the logical thing would have been to go smash every printing press and break every printer on the wheel. Just saying.

  4. At my age it is all deja vu. The only difference is perhaps 50% believe this BS and the dnc-msm are 100% all in with the violent thugs, and those who are funding the nihilists.

  5. Hinderaker, at Power Line, now reports that YouTube has decided to allow the video, but has labeled it “inappropriate” for young viewers, for no particular reason.

    The social media giants have “community standards” which forbid Hate Speech.
    What is hate speech?
    Hate speech has very little to do with the “N” word or Holocaust denial. Those are the “public presentation” of hate speech. “Hate speech” is a misnomer. It gives you the impression that those who want to criminalize or outlaw hate speech want to get rid of hatred and/or get rid of ALL hate speech. That’s just not true.

    Hate Speech is a specific set of speech: things said by “oppressors” which the “oppressed” (or “marginalized”) find objectionable.
    Here’s a short list: speech that is deemed racist, anti-transgender, homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Muslim. However, there’s more. Factual claims can be considered hate speech, for example: speaking about affirmative action. That can be hate speech because it harms the marginalized’s self-respect. Speaking about immigration, legal or illegal, harms the self-respect of our immigrant communities. Defending traditional views of the family and marriage also harms the dignity of those with non-traditional sexuality.
    Even superficially neutral topics like “welfare reform” can be “dog whistles” and thus be considered hate speech.
    Hate speech theory demands that the marginalized speak out in ways that undermine the oppressor.
    The oppressor group must shut up. And listen.

  7. Years ago I created a twitter account but I never used it once and it just “died”. I saw the ugliness of a twitter mob and it reminded me of the rampaging and murderous Enragés during the French Revolution.

  8. I saw a mention on another blog that the age limitation meant people had to log-in to YouTube to see the video, which a lot of people won’t bother with.
    Stealth banning.

    In 2013, I wrote ‘Freedom, the Village, and the Internet”, in which I observed that “if we are now living in an “electronic village”…even a “global village,” as Marshall McLuhan put it several decades ago…then perhaps that also means we are facing some of the unpleasant characteristics that can be part of village life”…such as shunning and character assassination via rumors.

    I reran the post in 2018, with musical accompaniment:

  10. Slaves, you know your rulers based on who you are not allowed to criticize. Pay attention.
