Let me just make a prefatory statement. For those of you who don't care about social media, view it as unimportant, or look at this as a pointless waste of time and resources-all of this are perfectly valid, perhaps even correct viewpoints-don't read this thread. Your voice has been heard.
That said, for those of you who think this is one of if not the most important shapers of public opinion, and is vital to the progressive manipulation of American society in pernicious ways, I want to explain why the expulsion of non-left wing, non-progressive, and non-neoconservative opinion from the public (online) sphere is such a worrying trend.
Two days ago I was permanently banned-for the second and probably last time-from Twitter. I fully expected this day to come-even after my account was reinstated at the behest of someone who was in touch with Jack Dorsey. Tangling with a warmongering neo-liberal, cultural Marxist with a blue check-was an invitation for me to be ZOTted on that platform. A final exile which was set in motion by my pointing out that Jack had given a blue tick to a literal Sunni jihadist embedded with Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists in Syria.
My banning isn't important insofar as it illustrates where we're headed. Once you've acquiesced to the social justice warriors-and their attack dogs in the media-demands that "Nazis" be purged, the ideological center of gravity is going to shift. So that now the "Nazis" who need to be excommunicated are people like Alex Jones and the alt lite. And now that Jones and Gavin McInnes are exiled, that means that the next "Nazis" to be purged are going to be anyone who criticizes open borders, or Islam, or endless, pointless wars in defense of Islamists, like moi.
I know in the grand scheme of things, this isn't that important. But it is important to be aware of how progressives have completely won the culture war. Until we recognize that salient fact we're still living with blinders on.

Something that occurs to me is that (like the parasites they are) leftists only live to feed off the energy of normals. Without us they cannot survive. What will they do when they’ve successfully eliminated us from FacePlant and Twit - and those contrivances fail?
I’ve managed to only have two time-outs in 3 years, building from 1500 followers on election night to 38,000 followers.
One of the tricks I learned is to vigorously block libtards after the first exchange. The second is that insults are fine but you have to be creative. They are especially touchy about “nazi.”
But you are 100% right that we cannot abandon these spheres.
I had mine for 9 years, (2009-2018), and only managed a little under 2,100 followers. Then again, I blocked an average of a dozen or so followers per week-mostly bots, spam and business accounts-and hundreds of my followers have been culled-so the real number would have likely been 3 or 4 times that.
@OddLane is no more. He's been bled to death by the blue ticks.

I think it’s a waste of time, resources and attention and also that you do not now nor will you ever dictate what I post.
They feed off persecution, even as they're attempting to suppress all expression of dissenting thoughts.
The most "Nazis" they drive off of these platforms, the more bitter and discontented they'll become, eventually targeting themselves in a circular firing squad-like most social justice/progressive movements.
Tell you what, I wish we had a block feature here. I argue a lot more here than I do on Twitter. Since so many of us are shadow banned or limited in outreach, we treat each other as allies even when we disagree. Everyone is polite.
I had ten thousand followers in four years, but they clobbered me in December. I was in a bubble with no responses and started a new account. I’ve been there two months and have 1700 followers. It was immediately shadow banned too, but not as badly. The good news is I never encounter liberals or Rino’s, unlike here.
I think a bumper sticker bearing the words “My Voice Has Been Heard” would be very effective at this point in time.
Why would you want “ten thousand followers”?
To stroke your ego or maybe sell Koolaid in Guyana?
Looking to start a cult maybe?
I tried starting a new account after my last shadow ban, but it was immediately ZOTted.
Shadow banned, suspended several times, locked out countless times, and Perma-banned twice.
I'm keeping my backup account kind of small.
It's always fun to see Larry deploy "Lucille"...
Get a different ISP and see if you can snail back in that way.
Based on history they will turn on each other and conduct purges
Odd, you’re just temporarily restricted, not suspended.
Sometimes the manner in which your message is delivered makes all the difference. Hence ANTIFA and The Proud Boys are viewed as thugs and hellions while Rudy Giuliani and DJT are viewed as patriots
True words
I know because this is the same process that happened before my previous Perma-ban.
Locked out, request that login information be sent to my phone, they don't send it.
QED: I'm a robot.
It's easier to do this than to admit the real reason I'm being banned, i.e. they don't like me expressing dissent from the blue check Kultursmog.
