“...while crippling the business interests of companies that serve as the major funders of leftist agendas and deny conservative civil rights.”

It will be much more efficient to send the message that these companies’ owners will not be able to see the fruits of their efforts, even for a month.

A good essay.

The ease of communications today allows unprecedented coordination among the powerful to stamp out disent.

“Conservatives view the corporate landscape as an amorphous free market while leftists see friendly and unfriendly companies. After generations of this, the market has become a lot more leftist and a lot less free. Conservatives need a better response to this crisis than to roll out the old claims about their commitment to a free system which failed in academia and the media.”

Suicide by ideology.

We’ve fallen asleep over this critical infrastructure issue.

There has to be depth to the conservative movement or it will be buried.

He makes conservatives sound lazy and dumb(and or) naive and republicans lazy, dumb(and or)naive and without morals.

Unfortunately, he’s right.

I think about once every 8 years, America needs to remind itself why the Democrat party is so bad. So they give them a bunch of power and the Democrats immediately abuse it and the voters are like, “what was I thinking” and they vote them out. I think these assclowns will undo themselves. They can’t help themselves. Our winning strategy moving forward is just patience and rational behavior and we need to pick the battles carefully. The next moves are theirs. Let them make their moves. What choice do we have really?

The Left understood that corporate policy is national policy. Its members adopted conservative boycotts of companies behaving immorally just when conservatives decided to abandon them. Leftists chose brands based on their politics, while conservatives had no idea what the politics of their cable company or breakfast cereal were. That’s why corporate politics turned leftist.

Then that's what conservatives need to do - not destroy our principles in order to save them.

Good article.

Trump taught us the globalist/Deep State/Big Tech conspiracy is real.

This election steal forced us to realize it’s all hands on deck for conservatives to preserve their freedom — we can’t rely on a single charismatic leader alone to return America to freedom.

We need to create new ideas, think and then ACT.

And to me, that means Free Republic needs to PRODUCE patriot education and perform other tasks that TAKE ACTION to save our freedom and our Bill of Rights.

Free Republic can no longer be just a chatroom for conservatives. It needs to be a platform that delivers ACTION.

Look at the work a guy like Scott Pressler or Charlie Kirk does. FR should have influence like that.

Anybody agree or disagree out there?

“...the Democrats immediately abuse it and the voters are like, ‘what was I thinking’ and they vote them out.”

Now that they control the voting apparatus, voter remorse doesn’t matter. EVERY (live) person in the country could vote for a Conservative and the Marxist would win.

A violent clash or a random shooting by an unstable man will unlock another censorship tier. But it could just as easily be another conservative politician winning when he’s supposed to lose.

Liberals could start burning and looting our cities again...and big tech would pretend not to notice... These are scary times.

There's not a country we could all escape to...maybe we should choose out a few states as "preferred places to live" (like Florida and Texas) and try to elect people who will protect us from "NPR/Hitler type THUGS" and worse.
