    Trump doesn't supply logic or facts in his tweets

    1 that proves what you're claiming.

    A conservative idea that you must think twitter and/or FB have done something to it.

    Problem seems to be that most of the left is either completely oblivious to the right ever enduring censorship, or they're just playing ignorant.

    Insulated thought bubbles are hard to burst.

    Playing directly to well understood narcissism. Pitching causes is fast and easy.

    The government needs to remove the ability to be legally defined as a 'platform' if other platforms residing on their system are not treated with the same respect.

    Google isn't letting gab post anything. No one is posting hate speech in the play store. Google is telling gab how to run their App and preventing anyone from downloading it to their phones. I wouldn't put it past the short sighted SJW types trying to boycott Google and their advertisers anyways. They don't understand that they are pushing these groups into the dark web where they can radicalize uncontested.

    That's sh!tty as hell. What's even sh!ttier is that Left apparently doesn't give a damn about the concentration of all that power to control access to information. It's as though they don't realise there's a tomorrow .. and tomorrow always puts power into the hands of your enemy. It's as though none of them have or will ever have children .. children who'll suffer under the same (very likely worse) repressions.

    Yes, agreed. My point is that the Left is starting to get eaten (silenced) by the "Left Left". LOL

    They "never noticed" the silencing of conservatives. Now there appears to be a bit of an "awakening" happening.

    All anyone with power has to do is change the definition of "hate speech" to silence others, and anyone can be silenced.

    Yes, it's much bigger than Twatter.

    As for the eaters and the eaten .. the eaters aren't far Left - they're not even Left. Probably technically apolitical, but definitely capitalists.

    That's where your argument falls down. The accepted censorship of tv and radio back in the day, was only accepted because in a given society the vast majority of people were on the same moral and cultural page. IOW, most people agreed with the specifics of that censorship.

    In a modern multiculture, there's no possible way that any one person - or group of people - can reasonably determine what's acceptable on behalf of their customer base, much less society in general. To attempt to do so is an outrage against 50% of society, and that's worse than just regressive.

    20thC censorship was technically more liberal, in that it operated with universal approval. The will of ALL people was considered.

    Don't worry, when they actually find out what the social credit model is flagging they'll implode. It's SOCIAL credit after all, not political credit. They care about your politics and speech of course, but they care as deeply (probably more deeply, in reality) about your day to day behaviour and lifestyle. If you smoke, drink, do drugs, get divorced, sleep with people you're not married to, don't work hard enough, aren't respectful to your parents, get too cosy with the Arts, engage in homosexuality, run up debts, have tattoos, dye your hair, have facial piercings, etc etc etc .. you're going to be in trouble. That's the stuff that they work hard on monitoring, because they understand those as indicators for social dissolution.

    The useful idiots that authoritarians use to get them into power are always the first ones the authoritarians oppress (and often purge). But then, if the useful idiots understood this, they would be neither useful nor idiots... so the cycle continues.

    Does everyone else have the same standards applied to them? I can go to youtube right now and pull up archives of democrats yelling Russia Russia Russia, or Feinstein or Harris using disinformation to try to derail the SCOTUS noms of Kavanaugh or ACB. Not a singe one of them has the "google fact check" that tells us that these folks were spreading disinformation or otherwise doing something that Youtube says is against their rules. So, why do you suppose that that is?

    How about this test. Absent any facts, democrats have been railing against the president for being a racist. There are thousands of clips on youtube and millions of tweets on twitter that say those obviously dishonest things. Where are they flagged? When have they been pulled down?

    The answer, obviously, is that "everyone else" isn't being subjected to the obvious censorship from the Twitt, Youtube et al. It's a pretty basic set of facts, and yet you still won't acknowledge them.

    He's an authoritarian who want's government control of life. He'd choose either fascism or communism if it could make representative government go away. Again, learn who you citation is before you post such ridiculous nonsense.

    You're babbling, they're different.

    "Vladimir Tismaneanu, a professor of comparative politics at the University of Maryland, noticed how communism and fascism, despite coming from separate ends of the political spectrum—extreme left for the former and extreme right for the latter—surprisingly have much in common. To comprehend the barbarism that plagued the last century, Tismaneanu contends that we must fully come to grips with the thought process that inspired so much destruction. So he sets off to scrupulously examine the intellectual origins, crimes, and failures of these two radical movements in The Devil in History: Communism, Fascism and Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century."

    Your article essentially validates my point. Chomsky would have either. As long as it got rid of representative government because he's an elitist prig who doesn't believe in your rights, or your right to determine things by voting. Get over it. Fascism/Communism are the same failed authoritarian models. Just ask China, or Venezuela, or Cuba.
