Solid work. Only 99% off the mark…

And they would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

Get better meds.

A drop of your moms pussy juice on my tounge is like LSD my man. Musta been a trip coming out of it. Literally.

She’s dead.

So fermented.

The idea that a government would function like an individual in an economy is one of the dumbest things possible to say.

MAGA!!

Elon is just having fun.

The United States government worked with Twitter, told them who to ban and suspend including satirical and humorous accounts.

anyone that doesn't think the FBI is out of control isn't in touch with the reality they see

or they are happily complicit with it.

Are you referring to the 48 years that J. Edgar Hoover was in charge?

Utah senator proposes bill that would enact nationwide pornography ban

Utah’s senior senator, having survived a reelection challenge from an independent candidate backed by state Democrats, is launching a two-pronged assault on companies that host pornography on their websites.

Mike Lee unveiled the twin pieces of legislation this past week, stating an intent to protect children online. One bill, dubbed “Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net is clearly aimed at doing so, and would require such websites to ask users to provide their age before viewing content.

But a second piece of legislation introduced by the senator on the same day takes a much broader cudgel against pornographic content, and would remove a key protection that sexually explicit content currently enjoys in the United States.

As of right now, the right of Americans and others to share such content across state lines in the US (including online) is protected by the so-called “Miller Test”, a three-step test outlined by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in a 1973 ruling which determines when protected sexual content crosses the line into the unprotected realm of “obscenity”. Mr Lee’s legislation would eliminate one of those steps, specifically the one defining “obscenity” as content that “depicts or describes” sex “in a patently offensive way”.

all of them

but people are defending them now

not when Hoover was in charge

People weren't defending the FBI when Hoover was in charge?? They weren't even questioning them, b/c they didn't care what they were doing...

It is clear to me that in the aftermath of the 2016 election, Twitter (and likely all other social media services as well) essentially became moderated by the United States government, the Democratic Party, and (yes) the Republican Party through all of their affiliated allies, NGOs, lobbying groups, etc. They fabricated a mandate by engineering a crisis (Russian election interference) and used that mandate to insert federal government into all forms of social media and communication with the goal of “never letting it happen again.” “It” being the election of of an outsider and rogue like Donald Trump. They decided they needed to control voter perception, in the guise of fighting “misinformation” and the chaos of the last roughly 5 years or so has allowed the expansion of that mandate into something else entirely.

Social media became a psyop. The new “moderator” then had to start using its powers against the elected Presidential administration eventually leading to the banning of media accounts of the sitting President of the United States. It began to try to turn every domestic issue (race, guns, immigration, abortion, etc) into crises in which the position of the President was portrayed as extreme while the opposite view must be right and rational. It had to start censoring information on health and the economy once those became flashpoints with COVID-19, and it made the position of the CDC, HHS and FDA the only allowable online viewpoint allowed, culminating with instigating government and public purges of those it decided needed to be ostracized as “anti-vaxxers” and conspiracy theorists. And in the end, the new moderator even intervened by censoring news media that it felt would be detrimental to the insider candidate running for President.

The fact that the left wing wholeheartedly supports this new Goebbelian approach to media control is frankly frightening. It points a couple things.

Number one is the fact that this WORKS. The government and its useful allies are able to successfully whip up the frenzy and loose the rabid dogs of the populace on someone like Trump. Sure Trump is a crazy motherfucker and does a lot of PR harm to himself, but the fact is that his reputation is absolutely almost 180 degrees from how he would have been perceived in like 2008. Trump used to be perceived favorably by those with center left viewpoints. And if thats too much to swallow just look at what happened to the Space-X, Tesla darling of 4-5 years ago. In about a year theyve been making hime the new “literally Hitler” just because he threatened the whole thing by buying Twitter.

The second thing it shows is just how far around the twist the left wing has gone from Liberalism. They dont even bat an eye. They are going to impose their dystopian paradise upon us if they have to drag us all kicking and screaming into it with lies, dirty tricks, and violence for our own greater good.
