At this rate, in a few more years, conservatives and even classical liberals will only be able to communicate using smoke signals and carrier pigeons.

SoundCloud's explanation was vague and did not specify an exact reason

Try TELEGRAM instead, Andy.

Folks like Jovan Pulitzer, Vladimir Zelenko, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrne are using that Platform to get their message through. These folks have tens of thousands of followers.

Unfortunately, despite making lots of noise, getting conservatives to pony up money to make alternatives is almost impossible.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

They'd take away your matches, and they'd make sure all pigeons died of the bird flu.
