“Facebook was started and managed by the CIA.”

Developed by DARPA.

Yep. The Libs at YT delete comments a lot of times if they are not P.C.

Dissenter - a conservative commentary plugin. Banned by Firefox. Mozilla and Chrome try to shut it down, saying it violates their use policies.


I don’t see why Dissenter is any more conservative than it is liberal. And if Chrome wants to shut it down, why does my Chrome browser perform in flawlessly?

“Talks like a lib, looks like a lib [and the picture]”

Nice looking. That’s all I want from the media ladies.

Right - and they’re all blocked from PayPal, other banks and google play and the Apple store.

We live in a fascist socialist state where leftists don’t believe in liberty or free speech and are trying to dictate their political views.

Crash the eyeball numbers. We need to have a conservative-tolerant social media forum. If Reddit won’t do it, start something else, or expand freep into it.

We need to have a conservative-tolerant social media forum.


There used to be one, called Usenet. It was omni-tolerant which meant pearl-clutchers were an early casualty. And it was unmoderated, if you can imagine that.

If Usenet returned to popularity, it would be like the brief days of Tienanmen Square, where dazed people wandered around wondering what to do with all that freedom.

“Ergo, the banning of conservatives from the social media is NOT a CIA plot. It just doesn’t pass the smell (or rational judgment) test.”

They aren’t here to observe, listen to, and hack conservatives, or any of their enemies for that matter. All that information is used for one thing. Political repression. There comes a tipping point that all suppressing their target becomes worthwhile.

Banning you from all participation is the modern equivalent of marching you to a ditch on the edge of town and shooting you. We have reached the point where they can gain more traction by identifying conservatives and stopping the propagation of ideas, stopping the flow of money related to those ideas, stopping the ability to rapidly organize, and stopping the ability of conservatives to interdict government (enemy) propaganda.

So it does indeed pass the smell test and the rational judgement test. Holding Assange incommunicado is the same concept.

You're exactly right, bigbob. Where, indeed, are the ... *ahem* ... truly conservative, libertarian, or objectivist programmers who can whip up a killer application for electronic commerce and social media that overcomes the semi-monopoly currently held by the unholy heptad of intensely leftist Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Google, Reddit, eBay, and Amazon? O_O

Does this all sound like dropping an enormous hint? ^_^

Twitter: started and managed by liberals
Facebook: started and managed by liberals
Amazon: started and managed by liberals
Google: started and managed by liberals now
Reddit: started and managed by liberals

Conservatives want to use liberal owned and operated platforms and cry and whine like babies when it doesn’t work out to their liking...

How smart do you have to be to see?

Where are the conservative social media entrepreneurs and platforms? Or are liberals that much smarter?

Too simplistic, bigbob. The fascist social media has the economic power to shut down any and all conservative competitors. It can cut off the sale of apps, for example, needed by Gab to compete.

I was posting at The Donald for a brief period, but I got banned for a post that would have been fine here.

I don’t miss it one tiny little bit.

You make a good point except I don't think conservative thought and ideas are being effectively suppressed to the degree your comment conveys. At least not yet.

Maybe it's a glass half full/half empty kind of thing, but I'm quite hopeful the pendulum will swing back our way.

That said, I will take your comment to heart and think about it.
