Shadow banning isn't a thing! It's just another way Trump and his hateful minions try to play the victim. They say James Woods is innocent? Fuck no! He threatened to hang all of Trump's detractors! Alex Jones is innocent? He threatened to kill mass shooting victims! Laura Loomer is innocent? She went batshit crazy outside of Twitter's headquarters.
Hey republicans - you're not getting banned because you're conservatives posting on websites. You're getting banned because you're hateful dicks! See, companies like Facebook and Twitter have these things called "terms of service agreements" that you most likely didn't read when you signed up.
If you have read them you would know that they have rules and conditions about posting. And one of them is don't be hateful, which is what you are doing. So you what? It's not Facebook or Twitter that's the problem, it's you.

(21,770 posts)We had a totally establishment news structure, as well as a totally establishment entertainment culture. But the war and civil rights struggles allowed a counter culture to grow, and make inroads into mainstream thought. Of course, this was an anti-conservative movement, and the conservatives, as snowflakey then as they are now, began to screech. Big money latched on to the conservative movement, and to this day fund and direct the rightwing media. This is a relatively cheap thing to finance; I am surprised liberals haven't given it a more serious go.
Complaining about hit numbers and followers is just playing the refs.

(35,077 posts)That's just a short way of saying, the fascist has nothing of substance to say. Both the fascists of the past and today call everyone they don't like "liberal" or some variation of it, "parasite", "jew", "globalist", "socialist", etc.
