Sorry, bub - this is America 2022. You have to pick a side on every single topic and froth at the mouth about it.
You can try to downplay it all you want, but that's far from the current situation. It's one side making all the moves. You do have to pick a side, but the left is forcing that.

Leftists have gained control over nearly everything in society. Companies are tripping over themselves to implement the "progressive" agenda and appease the woke mob. Banks are dropping conservative businesses, big tech is devising a "social credit score" that includes monitoring your online behavior and restricting your access to products and services and more.

It's f**king ridiculous. I'm sorry, if you can't see it, you're either onboard with it, have your head up your ***, or dgaf and willing to bend over to this repressive authoritarian future for society.

Go ahead and laugh it off. It's true.

Fascism you say? You mean like the book bans and book burnings the right is currently doing in America? That was a popular tactic of Nazis in the 1930s and 40s
😂 Your misrepresentation of this is ridiculous. It’s become routine for your side to ban Huck Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird, and literally anyone or anything that’s not 100% a part of your cult.

You’re nowhere close to being the good guys. We’ve watched you all lose your minds any time a conservative comes on a college campus. We’ve seen your side go and harass and commit violence at Trump rallies (the right couldn’t care less to go shut down your circle jerks). We’ve seen you bury trending topics on social media and ban accounts simply because your side does not want transparency whatsoever and to squash all dissent.

Every single day, your media is a DNC mouthpiece as well as a puppet of Big Pharma. You have not cared one iota about getting them shut down for “disinformation.” But if someone challenges the left? Oh boy, they must be silenced! No one can hear anything but DNC talking points on a loop with no pushback.

So I see no one has any real rebuttal to the Nazi-style book burnings the right is doing now. Seems pretty fitting.

Your laugh emoji doesn’t make it any less true. You can try and bluff someone else. I know you’re dumb and clueless because that’s what is common in a cult who wait to be fed by their masters who are responsible for forming your entire false worldview.

Again, misrepresenting. They did not ban it. It’s still in the library. They just opted against one book cause of nudity and replaced it with another. I don’t agree with it but it’s not like they got rid of the Holocaust curriculum (but you ignore that and opt for misrepresenting this).

It makes national news by you all when you can spin it about the right but when the left participates in the constant banning and censoring of literally everything (everything but sex and trannies to an elementary school kid), it becomes just another drop in the bucket.

You guys have been trying to ban **** since the Tipper Gore days and it’s ramped up even more in the radical SJW Leftist era of the last decade. Hell, Target banned a book at the request of one random leftist on twitter cause it was “anti trans.” You get people banned from twitter, YouTube, podcast, bank accounts. It’s constant.

How you could read about the Soviet Union or read 1984 and think that doesn’t describe the modern day left is comedy. Nbacats is nightwish.

I think you need to read. You replied to a post about book burnings to talk about one boo being banned. Burns and bans are not the same thing. One requires fire. Please go back to elementary school and learn how to read.

Or are you just conveniently ignoring the right's Nazi tendencies?

Spotify is platform agnostic at the OS level, but not at the app level. It is its own platform that has lockdowned episodes of its “podcasts” that can only be listened to in the Spotify app. For that reason, these shows are not podcasts at all. They are internet audio shows (or whatever) that cannot be accessed via an RSS feed by podcatcher apps (the definition of a “podcast.”)

Rogan had Dr. Robert Epstein on a couple weeks ago to talk about the danger of big tech, and now an organization led by a former Ellen Degeneres staffer is leading the charge to take down Rogan. The same Ellen who somehow landed the one and only interview with the Las Vegas massacre security guard before he disappeared off the planet. Coincidence probably.

Unfortunately wasting your time. The reality is he doesn’t care what the left has become. They like and enjoy their new Marxist/communist tendencies and support the attacks based on political ideology. They no longer have any fidelity towards American values.

Sad but true.

I think it's absolutely amazing that the amount of media filtering out there is just generally accepted. This is a classic case of violation of the 1st amendment and it's terrifying that there are people in the US that feel like he should be censored for just simply trying to understand a subject, in this case COVID, the vaccines and potential alternatives.

Tell us you don’t understand the first amendment without telling us you don’t understand the first amendment.

The first amendment protects speech/speakers from punishment from the federal government for said spech. That’s the entire list.

It doesn’t protect speakers from consequences levied by private businesses, their boss, angry consumers, friends and family, etc. Freedom of speech and speech without consequences are two entirely different things.

The federal government is not involved in this in any way.

I was listening to a speaker recently who claimed Americans believed in the freedom of speech that goes beyond the four corners of the constitution.

According to our constitutional scholars here, I guess not.

I'm still floored that someone thinks Apple Music is "truly" agnostic, an app that people with Android use. One of the dumber things I've read here recently.

Actually Joe Biden said to censor Joe Rogan

Same goes for NFL. Players aren't protected by free speech either.

1st ammendment stuff aside, I think what they're ultimately saying is that the left appears to be extremely intolerant of other views, and their first course of action is to get things removed, cancelled or banned.

Yes, artists can freely pull music in protest of Joe Rogan.. and Spotify can ultimately make the call to censor Rogan or remove him.. but why go down this road to begin with? Because he has a different opinion?

I think Trevor Noah is an idiot and has damaged plenty of young minds. But I never once thought to attempt to get him cancelled. I just don't watch. When he comes on after reruns of the office I just change the channel.

The N word video is definitely not going to help him. Yikes.

If that does not work, wait for the sexist sounding montage that liberal moralists link together. They could not stop him with the claim he took “horse medicine,” they will find some other montage. He is way too free for the lefties to permit.

By the way, when you see the left use OSHA to coerce people in private business into taking a vaccine that is not what it was originally claimed to be, we see that they will do whatever they can for their fundamentalist moral positions.

Hmm. Have you not seen Psaki and Biden demanding Big Tech censorship since this administration has assumed power?

So what happens when big business and big government are joined at the hip and one does the bidding of the other? Say the multinational corporations’ interests align with the federal government, and more specifically, the ruling class’ interests. Protection of the establishment, and conversely punishment of dissenters is required.

Any of our esteemed scholars know the name of that political system?

Seems we’re almost, if not already there.

The White House absolutely is involved in this and routinely inject themselves in private sector matters.

Idiot of the week award goes to…

Are you capable of any independent thought or has that ability left you completely?
No, he isn't capable of independent thought. When he has no argument or intelligent response, he goes to the now bankrupt race card. Insufficient funds on that card for years now.

Wealth is a very subjective thing. He probably feels high and mighty in his double wide with all single wide neighbors…

Actually majority of my neighbors are black, interracial, Hispanic, etc. But that comes with living in one of the largest most diverse cities in America 👌🏼
