  1. “If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it…. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of ‘facts’ they feel stuffed, but absolutely ‘brilliant’ with information. Then they’ll feel they’re thinking, they’ll get a sense of motion without moving. And they’ll be happy, because facts of that sort don’t change.” ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
    Twitter is essentially … book burning. Destroying all evidence of “incorrect” political, social, and economic beliefs. In real time. Welcome to the Fascist States of America

  2. It’s their club, much like blogs, they have the right to make their own rules until it is legally declared to be a public utility.
    I do not care, but President Trump might.

  3. Hey, no one HAS to Twitter. I quit that SSJW cesspool years ago, and never go back. SSJW; SchutzStaffel Justice Warrior aka brown shirt aka antifa aka Southern Poverty Law aka CBC, ABC, BBC, the other ABC, NBC, …

  4. Plus, you should be celebrating. Do you not see it? THEY ARE SLITTING THEIR OWN THROATS.
    I have all the information; I read all sides. They don’t do that; they deliberately ignore everything they do not already agree with. It is the logical fallacy of confirmation bias taken to a ridiculous extreme. It is why Hillary and every single one of them were certain Hillary was the next president; UP UNTIL SHE WASN’T. It is why they flogged the “MUH RUSSIA!” thing long past the time it ceased to make any sense. They are stabbing themselves in their own necks, and they refuse to see what they are doing to themselves. They refuse to see that they are the captains of their own demise.
    Let them keep doing what they are doing. Let them think this is the winning strategy for as long as they want.

  5. Project Veritas.
    They have done more to uncover coordinated sleaze and corruption amongst the left’s institutions than any traditional GOP politician or entity.
    Their disturbing Planned Parenthood sting may actually prompt some serious change to that cold-blooded organization.
    On the flip-side, their numerous ‘gotchas’ of the mainstream media actually admitting the Trump/Russia hoax as nothing more than a political hit-job seemed to have ZERO effect on the level of anti-Trump hysteria.
    I have the same gut feeling about this video, the people who need to see it and digest it’s message the most, will never know it even exists.

  6. Yes, it’s theirs and they are entitled to make their own rules within the Twitterverse. But while they paint a false picture that influences society at large to ill effects, we ignore it at our peril. Mere democracy doesn’t guarantee good government, just to avoid bad government in a democracy requires an interested and properly informed electorate.

  8. Infantilized hipsters paid to make the world a safe space for perpetual children institutionally deformed into believing that discerning right from wrong is beyond them and therefore must be protected by private censorship. More pavement on the road to serfdom.

  9. TWITTER is acting like an authoritarian gov’t…where is democracy. The gov’t needs to step in and regulate them either all tweets go thru or none they can go out of business really fast!!

  11. “But while they paint a false picture that influences society at large to ill effects, we ignore it at our peril.”
    True, but what can be done?
    Public schools are considered influential. At least there, something can be done if we had the numbers. However it does seem to me that we are losing there.
    Until someone thinks of an answer to the twitter problem, what point is there in worrying about something we can’t change?

  12. You can dump Twitter, but you cannot change its social impact. Too many people live on Twitter. Go ahead and avoid it. That is not much different from being banned from the point of view of social media.

  13. Is anyone else having trouble with Reddit Canada. I suddenly find it is not letting me post anything more than one-character. This seems to have been done deliberately. It is not the Karma thing where at least you can post if you wait 9 minutes each time. There are a lot of young people on Reddit and they often disagree with my views. But the one-character thing is truly weird. I am not sure if it was done by a moderator or by someone higher up who discourages Conservative views. I can post elsewhere, but both Reddit Canada and Reddit Ottawa are problems for me. I think they are quite intolerant and closed minded.

  14. Reddit is mentioned towards the end of James O’Keefe’s video, that it’s accepted practice there too.

  15. This process is called de-platforming, and it is one of those hoary old stunts from the communist playbook.
    It works quite well. For a while.
    But, as Kathy Shaidle has been pointing out for a very long time now, this was to be expected. The Right does not need yet-another news magazine. The right needs its own Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, Google,YouTube etc.
    And, thanks to the unceasing efforts of Useful Idiots who work at those Internet companies, presently we will have them. Because you can’t de-platform people forever on the web. A new platform is no farther away than an off-shore server farm.
    As soon as there is -money- in being the new Open Twitter, where non-SJWs can talk, somebody will be doing it. It may take a while though, Twitter has never done anything but lose money.

  16. Their company, their rules. Twitter has every right to kick out various trolls-it may even be good for the bottom line.
    “The right needs its own Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, Google,YouTube etc.”
    The Right would have to be good at creating things, and so far what it’s created-Fox, Breitbart, etc-suck. There’s no reason to believe these projects will be any better.

  17. the corollary to this arguement is that classic conservatives are NOT very creative. that fact is embedded in the name/word; ‘conservative’, ie ‘conserve’ what exists, ie status quo, ie ‘dont friggin change ANYTHING,
    we want it all just the way it is’.
    a stereotype for sure but, far more true about THAT ideology than liberals.
    the premise that conservatives need their ‘own’ digital media contains its ‘own’ contradiction, at the very least these ‘alt-media’ would be mere copies of the existing well entenched ones, with different content but the SAME structure.
    what we need is a really bad world wide depression to bring things to a head and sharply define REAL priorities.
    Ive never tweeted, never needed to, I had a fake Fakebook account years ago to look up someone, reddit? wot dat?
    etc etc.

  19. as a conservative I want constructive not destructive change or change just for the sake of change.
