Deplatformed: How Big Tech Companies & Corporate America Subvert the Second Amendment
Ammo.com ^ | Sam Jacobs

One can be in favor of the free market while recognizing a simple truth: There is no way that America’s Founding Fathers would have sat on their hands while five corporations dominated American discourse and commerce. It is hard to imagine, for example, the Founders suffering a single private bank processing most of the payments in the United States and refusing to do business with gun merchants. Alternately, one can scarcely imagine that the Founders would have sat still for three companies – all of them hostile toward American values and the Constitution – dominating political discourse and deplatforming anyone who opposed them.

Corporate America/Big Business has really screwed over the Right these past few years. I think there will have to be a big paradigm shift in society where people and especially conservatives have to break the stereotypical idea that they are in an alliance with the corporations. Not that it was ever true but it was harmless enough when companies tended to be neutral but not recently as big business has increasingly gone activist and far left. Conservatives are basically on the receiving end of what ultracommunist hippies should be getting in terms of being attacked by corporations but are not really fighting back and some are still under the impression that corps/conservatives are all one big happy team. Meanwhile Corporations never really fought back against attacks against them which historically came from the hippy Left and have mostly tried to court them ironically. Its all a very strange masochistic cycle.

We need to start more small manufacturing and other useful production businesses of our own and begin networking with each other. If quite a few of us won’t save, study, plan, design and do that, we won’t have what it takes to defend and maintain our freedoms.

Maybe the libertardian shills for megacorps will finally get the message about social media censorship when it affects their gun rights.

Libertarians only care about an issue as long as there's free dope involved.

strictly speaking, not deplatformed, but if you check the comments, you will see some of the ways google has been treating the premier global warming skeptics’ website. someone comments that web hosting costs have been coming down:

15 Jul: WattsUpWithThat: WUWT is being deplatformed – service interruptions the next few days
by Anthony Watts
We’ve been given notice by our hosting provider that we need to move off the site. The reason is that we were suddenly faced with a big increase in hosting costs, and it wasn’t tenable. (Where’s big oil when you need them?) So they told us we had to move.

Therefore we are moving back to wordpress.com, where we started back in 2007...

of course, the big push for the Green New Deal is underway right now!

My wordpress page is absolutely apolitical. Any deviation even in the slightest, and I'd be doxxed and run off the site - like FR did to me back in 2016...
