The "Blog Burning" Has Begun In Earnest

[prambo]

@HEX @NYGuns

Raconteur Report posted the following. "Fellowship of the Minds" is/was a fairly innocuous website. The American Nazis are starting to act before the midterms. Sites that don't operate their own servers are low hanging fruit. Watch for action at the DNS level next.

The ugliness we wished would never come begins............

Alex Jones was just the beginning........

Raconteur Report: The Left Marches On

They really really really want to control the narrative and only allow "acceptable" ideas and information.

People need to look at the big picture and what's going on. There are many events and seemingly small or insignificant actions and events that are all going on at the same time. Connect the dots, look at them as a connected system and suddenly you may get a different perspective of what is going on.

For every curve they throw us we will find another way.

Like good ole movable type press.

 

[That_FNG]

yes because blocking things from being on the internet has always proven to be successful. Idea's, much like life, always finds a way.

I was thinking the string cans that you put to your ear

 

[DoD1776]

I think Alex Jones was them dipping their foot in the water to see how it is. They’ve banned a popular conservative from twitter for being a “bot” if I’m correct. They’ll keep attacking us and sooner or later we’re going to bite.

 

[CaseHardened]

Honestly, if Hillary had won, NYGunForum.Com would be only a fond memory by now.

 

[@thewheels]

Things will be fugly when the pendulum starts to swing the other way.

 

[Robin]

Stuff like this and more will really ramp up next month, mid-term's are right around the corner. Its getting ugly.

Was it actually a bot?

 

[DoD1776]

No lol. He was posting photos with a sign saying, “I’m not a bot” Twitter is so fucking left wing it’s nasty. I hate it but I’m only on it to see trumps tweets. Facebook I think has more conservatives along with Instagram but Twitter is the fucking worst.

So little time to make certain speech disappear.

They will double and they will triple their efforts.

Very reminiscent of so many Hollywood movies.

Only difference, now it is for real and America does not care.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Seems every generation has it's book burners and statue deconstructionist that believe in rewriting history will make the world a better place. Some forum moderators are about as caleouse.

 

[Celt]

Its actually scary where things are going, the leftist media complex is incredibly powerful.

 

[Twogunwilly]

That's bullshit, we'll fight those bastards. I'm going to write them a strongly worded letter, Oh, wheels on nm.

I agree but I think there are more Americans every day "waking up" and seeing the left, media, social media, big technology etc for what it really is.

The only problem is, even though more people are waking up and realizing, little is being done to stop it.

Its an abstract concept and hard to conceptualize for the average American how 6 pack or soccer mom who spends their free time watching the bachelor or obsessed over nothing but sports. To come to grips with the fact that there really is a hidden globalist agenda where big technology is really trying to make people dependent and addicted to it and then it will be used to control what information and ideas can be shared. Never mind the literal infinite databases of our habits, privacy items, political beliefs, radical threat ratings, etc that we are having captured and stored to be used for who knows what in the future.

Not enough.

Question is, what can be done to stop it?
From what I understand, a federal court did decide social media does represent an agora of sorts, a place where speech and politics occur, so much so that it was decreed Trump could not block users on Twitter in regard to free speech:
Trump’s Blocking of Twitter Users Is Unconstitutional, Judge Says

How this ties into censor of views they deem a "violation" is another matter. But ultimately I don't see this being an easy matter to handle.

That's a great point and IMO your absolutely spot on. I also think it's deliberately set up that way.

Again.... Think in terms of propoganda and only "perceived" free speech/expression.

Who controls the narrative....

I wish I could say I think you're wrong

Social media and electronic communication are too easily controlled. A resurgence to print media could be where it is at.

 

[Burzum]

Just wait until "Net Neutrality" lapses and allows Neo-Liberal Silicon Valley to control your content and the speed at which you get it.

The US Constitution only protects from freedoms being impinged by the government NOT the pickle-smoochers out in California.

 

[S&W Fan]

Elements of the constitution are slowly being ratified by Their selection of
“We the people”

This is more serious than it appeared at first........check WRSAs recent posts for links.

I still do NOT concur with the author below that FAGS (see @Darth for this perfect acronym) can block anyone they want. The internet is, as it were, a "public conveyance" for ideas rather than people. Thus, everyone gets use, regardless of who owns or hosts any site.

But, we'll find out soon enough. How many members of this forum do you have alternate contact info for? Me? - I have none, even for the one member I've met twice.

Do not think The Princess and his trolls don't know this site exists. He would shut it down in a nanosecond if pressure could be brought to bear onto those even remotely involved. Like, DNS servers. Does anyone here even know the actual ISP address here, so you might be able to get around a DNS block?

Regardless,

The internet is public. Those sites are private. Their rules.

My city is public. My house is private. My rules.

Simple enough.

Then, logically, if their "house" is private, and uses what are, in reality public resources, the legal and moral issues are manifest.

Essentially, some people riding the private "bus", as it were, on public streets are being made to ride at the back of the bus or, in some cases, not even being being allowed to ride.

The actual definitions of private and public are also at issue here. An interesting area of discussion for sure. But can the march of cultural Marxism, which is actually what is happening here, be allowed to progress to the point of total exclusion of other viewpoints, while we determine the property rights of those concerned?

I think not, Darth, but I still believe in freedom of speech to the point of defending a non-physically assaultive opponent's right to vocalize his beliefs.

You will have a good reply, no doubt.

ETA: the development of alternative websites, a "different bus company" on the public internet is certainly feasible. Monetizing that development is the problem even for those who have the knowledge and experience to do so.

 

[prambo]

@Darth - here's a DuckDuckGo search of Gab.

gab at DuckDuckGo

Notice how the hammering of Gab by Microsoft, Gab's bus, as it were, stifled speech. Disgustig speech for sure, anti-Semitism but, nevertheless, a corporate banning controlling speech.

Where's the line? Or have TPTB allowed corporate-based cultural Marxists to assume control over what is undoubtedly a public conveyance?

It gets tricky when a company spends a decade collecting your information while they promote a premise of free speech and open dialog, then change their terms of service with no notice to justify censorship that they deem is necessary.
