It's not freedom of speech, but it sets a pretty hilarious precedence. FB has no problem with whatever hard line communist countries want to put up there, but block a duly elected president of the United States.

You think the Tech Giants are going to stop with Trump? No they will take out any voice that is subversive to their agenda whether that be conservative or liberal outlets.

You can't shut down differing opinions because that is what creates even more disenfranchisement. I'm extremely concerned with the gasoline these people are pouring on an open fire whether that be MAGA or Bernie people its going to spill in a way that there is no way to contain it for a generation or two.

I’m still shocked that Germans haven’t thrown Merkel into an oven and reopened the camps.

Most opposition there has been browbeaten into submission since 1945 with no end in sight.

They are shortsighted because they think they will always be in charge and are counting on the opposition to have scruples.

Control always changes over time and a group that finds their scruples cause them to consistently lose will eventually abandon them and then the opposition will wonder what the frick happened.

It's not about differing opinions. It's about a different set of made-up 'facts' being used to incite seditious acts.

Ezra Klein made some interesting comments this morning that really touch on this FB news and explains a lot of what's wrong with this country, why there's no much disbelief between each side



"I want to be careful in how I say this because obviously you can't just break into the Capitol and desecrate offices and hit police officers with pipes. People should be arrested. But I don't think they should be our focus.

These people were lied to, over and over, by officials at the highest levels of the American government, people with power and, presumably, knowledge. They trusted the President, and Republican members of Congress, to tell them the truth, and they believed what they were told.

And what they were told was that a crime of astonishing proportions had been committed. Power over the US government itself had been stolen, in broad daylight. And the thieves were just going to get away with it. Electoral politics had failed.

They were told this by the President. By the House minority leader. By more than a dozen senators. By more than a hundred US representative. By anchors on Fox News. By nationally syndicated radio hosts.

And then the President asked them to show up and fight for their country.

I'm not here to release anyone from personal accountability for their actions. But the real villains here are the people in power who lied to those who trusted them, putting them and the country in danger, for personal and political gain.

The worst consequences should be for them — and all who enabled them — not for their marks. If we're going to hold those who invaded the Capitol accountable, and we should, then we need to hold those who convinced them to invade the Capitol accountable.

My fear is that the opposite will play out. We will hold the weak accountable, because we can, but the strong will get away with it. The weak are subject to laws, the strong protected by politics. That's not good enough. I'm not saying I have the answer here. But we need one."

Their truth is the only truth. To deny their version of reality is essentially heresy and they will try to socially and financially execute you for it. That loser is a prime example of the state of the left. He comes into a thread and regurgitates a bunch of shite he saw on Twitter, tells you it's the truth, and then tells you that denying it is the problem.

Like Cops are out targeting black people for death?
Like the wealthy are keeping people from succeeding?
Like white people are born racist?
Like the violence in Portland was "made up?"

Like those?

People who support censorship are terribly shortsighted. What's used against your enemy can just as easily be used on you.

Don't think, don't doubt, don't question. Obey.

That dude is the epitome me of the modern left. He'll demand the very thing that he decries from the other side.
