Twitter Initiates Mass Purge Of Prominent Alt-Right Accounts Following Trump Victory (War!)
Daily Caller ^ | November 15, 2016 | JONAH BENNETT, NATIONAL SECURITY/FOREIGN POLICY REPORTER

Posted on 11/15/2016 9:54:57 PM PST by Az Joe

Twitter has initiated a major purge of prominent accounts associated with the alt-right exactly a week after GOP President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory.

One of the first and most prominent accounts caught up in the deletion is Richard Spencer, president and director of the National Policy Institute, an alt-right think tank focused on white identity and related policy issues.

The Clint Eastwood that was banned was not the real one. It was a fake account. The real guy is still there.

“Com-Left”

Nice way to control the narrative.

I think we should list the Com-Left information providers and never use their names without prefacing it with “Com-Left”

the Com-Left New York Times
the Com-Left MSNBC
the Com-Left Washington Post
the Com-Left CBS News
the Com-Left Boston Globe
the Com-Left CNN
the Com-Left New Yorker Magazine
the Com-Left LA Times
the Com-Left Village Voice
the Com-Left NBC
the Com-Left Vanity Fair
the Com-Left NY Daily News
the Com-Left Huffington Post
the Com-Left Slate
the Com-Left SPLC
the Com-Left Politico
the Com-Left Snopes
the Com-Left ABC

To control the narrative you have to control the language. I think this prefacing is important.

Leftists do it all the time to label things their way.

Time for conservatives to do this.

Trump, Steyn and Coulter do it well.

The rest of us, not so much.

I don’t use any social media but it seems to me that outfits like Twitter and Face Book are venturing into the realm of public utilities. Phone company cant censor content except within very narrow boundaries nor can it deny service with in its chartered regioln.

Years ago on the internet we had the Conservative Ring.

Do you remember that Jim,

conservative sites linked to each other and it introduced people to the conservative net.

Do we need our own Twitter thing that is controlled by conservatives like the Ring waa?

In the run up to the election I learned to cruise the 4chan/pol board for leads on Wikileaks. This board really is the “home” of the alt right where Pepe and KEK were born. There is no censorship beyond no kiddie porn no threats of violence. So there are posters that are from Stormfront or whatever. There are also CTR trolls. These outside posters don’t make them racist anymore than CTR troll make them libtard. Just more libtard propaganda that “alt right” = racist. If one spent any time on that board you would know it ain’t true.

Tried to sign up a couple of times, but I just get a message I'm on the waiting list.

I think the owner said the wait is about 48 hours. It's a bootstrap operation.

No it wasn’t. It was coined by Richard Spencer.

Gab.ai is a non-SJW-run fork of Twitter.

Infogalactic is a non-SJW-run version of Wikipedia.

Brave is an internet browser developed by Brandon Eich, the CEO who got fired for contributing to the anti-homosexual-marriage bill. It has built in ad blockers.

/pol/ - Politically Incorrect - 4chan
boards.4chan.org/pol/
Jan 8, 2015 - "/pol/ - Politically Incorrect" is 4chan's board for discussing and debating politics and current events.

No Twitter required.

Got along just fine without them back in the Wild West days of NNTP, too.

Got Port 119?

Why are we accepting this name calling bullshit? ALT-RIGHT?

WHITE IDENTITY?

When they say on their website:

"NPI is an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world".

You can see why there might be some questions.

We won ourselves a couple of years with the election of Trump. If Conservatives don’t make a concerted, coordinated effort to completely stamp out voter fraud and BUILD OUR OWN Social Media/Traditional Media outlets as well as support CONSERVATIVE artists of all stripes, we may not be so lucky next time......

I have personally written several Conservative “anthems” but have been sort of disheartened at the lack of support for that type of music.

Next week they’ll realize “White Identity” is not a dirty word and they’ll stop using it.

It should not be hard to code a competing twitter website.

The Left uses ‘Alt-Right’ to lump in all of the Right Wing, from Neo-Nazis to Rush Limbaugh. They conveniently ignore any and all distinctions between any right wing groups. To them, Drudge is Alt-Right......................

It’s not the code that’s the issue. It’s the community. Facebook could easily be mimicked also, but they are useless without the high-profile people.

Why we need our own media. Dedicated to the principles that made America great.

Darn right. Trump has the wherewithal to obtain a major media enterprise, ready made. Just go "viral" on them by removing all their dna and installing objective journalists.

While it might not be the thing for a POTUS to do, surely his affiliates can.
