Liberty Quote
Western civilisation has been transformed from the love child of Christianity and the Enlightenment into a malformed neo-Marxist culture where minority groups manufactured for political purposes are bestowed with special privileges by the state.

Democrats resume usual business.
What is happening in the rest of America right now. Are kids going to school. Are people getting up and going to work. Are shops open and people going about their daily business or is it the twilight zone everywhere.
The Dead Kennedys are turning in their graves. Their party has been hijacked by fascist street thugs fronted by an ageing corpse bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
The Green light is certainly on.
Democrat Majority Shifts Focus to Climate Action: ‘We Are Now Thinking in Very Ambitious Terms’ (18 Jan)
And that’s why they stole the election, both for Prez and the Georgia run-offs. They Believe that only they can save the planet. Is that hubris or what?

The planet’s just fine, Bruce.
This is about doing the bidding of their corporate donors, who stand to make a lot of money from the “greening” of the US economy, just as they have in Europe.
Inauguration 2017.
The “street-theatre ” this time around will be “interesting”.
You could say the same is happening here in Australia!
Indeed, it looks like a world-wide phenomena.
Inauguration 2017.

The “street-theatre “, this time around and already building up quickly, will be “interesting” in, appropriately enough, a “Chinese Curse”, sort of way.
Roger – the left-wing of the Dems are all Believers. We saw that with the Bernie Bros that Project Veritas suckered. The Squad are all Believers.
That’s why they were fine with Biden, because they think they can “guide” him in the right direction. And so it’s now happening. Dementia Joe will just recite what is put onto his teleprompter. I don’t know what Jill wants.
The crony corruptocrats and the Deep Staters went along with the rigging, despite the horrific risk, because they feared the hammer coming down upon them. As Hillary is said to’ve said about “hanging from nooses”.
There are still a few blue dog Democrats left, who may not wish to vote themselves out of their seats at the next election. It is not a foregone conclusion that all of the economy killing legislation will get passed the Senate, even on a simple majority. Some senators, like Joe Manchin, may stand up against the rest of their party.
Getting the votes in the senate is a bit like herding cats.
The cheating and thuggery only work if one party does it. Obama has brought Kenyan style politics to the USA. Next election if the Repubs were to bash, burn, intimidate and drop in 18m fake votes I wonder how things will go down with the Dem/media.
George Carlin thought so too
The linked article described Parler as a conservative social media platform. That’s incorrect. It’s a platform that values free speech which conservatives use. The hounding of the CEO puts the lie to the left’s usual response of “well, start your own platform”.

Yes, a great video.
George Carlin was very insightful with this video.
I like how people are laughing when he is making fun of them and there ideas.
Sadly truth is dying and so many people in the west believe in the lie
All of this political crap is because of career politics , the president ogf the USA is only allowed two terms by law , make this a general law in the West and you eliminatemongrels like pelosi, schitt, watters ,poops nadler the , phantom crapper , and ratface paedos like biden . All this crap would go away , another good move would be to limit donations to political parteie to $10 per year per person or organisation ,breaches of this to sttract massive horrendous fines and life imprisonment .
Maybe there won’t be a transition to a Biden administration…
Did Major-General William Walker let the truth slip out?

Correct. The Parler CEO always maintained it wasn’t affiliated either left or right…it was just a free speech platform to compete with Twitter…in fact Parler has (had) almost similar terms and conditions to Twitter. The shutting down of Parler is pure politics. It is aimed solely at preventing conservatives/libertarians, right-wingers…actually anyone who disagrees with the progressive left….from having a platform to use.
The frenzied progressive mobs are now going after Rumble, Bitchute, Minds, Fox News, Sky News Oz, youtube channels and so on. For the last five years we’ve been told by progressives to “just build your own”….well alternatives have arisen…only to be smeared as havens for far-right neo-Nazis and then hounded out of existence. The last fortnight is living proof of this.
I would also add that the signs have been there for the last three years and particularly since Alex Jones was booted off almost every mainstream platform around….all in one day…a very coordinated excision that was promoted by CNN. Everyone looked away when Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer and so on were kicked off mainstream platforms, banned from Uber, had their accounts shut down by banks and so on. Conservatives/Libertarians and others just stood back, laughed or shrugged their shoulders. I doubt many are laughing today.
All of this is pure unadulterated fascism and anyone, including those trolls here on the Cat, who defend this de-platforming of Parler, Bitchute, Minds etc. is anti-free speech and doesn’t deserve the right to post here. I’ve said it time and time again….why are we tolerating the intolerant.
Finally, they want to silence us…and they’ll come for Catallaxy. Firstly they’ll silence our voices…then they’ll silence us physically.

An oft-repeated mantra of that unlamented Randian, Iampeter.
I’ve been on Parler for about 18 months.
Mainly following comedians that twitter thought were too edgy.

Amen.
Were the threats posted on Twitter?
Twitter blocking Trump is not fascism, you morons. Get a grip. You don’t know the meaning of the word.
“You don’t know the meaning of the word.”
But the slug called Monty is always telling US we are fascists.
Fuck off you disgraceful hypocrite.

“Twitter blocking Trump is not fascism, you morons.”
True enough – but if, as seems to be obvious from MSM reporting, they did so at the request of Gov, then it is a 1st Amendment violation.
Gov can’t “reward” others for doing what they themselves are prevented from doing.
LOL. Blocking the official account of the President of the United States of America?
You’ve got to be kidding M0nty.
No one is that dumb.

Benito M0ntylini feels that the F-word is reserved for the sole use of him and his fellow travellers alone.
Much like the n-word can only be used without opprobrium if you are of a certain hue and demographic background…
Had a great time in 83(?) when DKs toured Sydney; Manly Vale Hotel (where the bouncers killed a guy) and Sydney Uni… those were the days…
The official account is @POTUS, which wasn’t blocked.
You are that dumb, evidently.
Which one of the pair has been used, Benito M0ntylini?
The active one is (was) the de facto official POTUS account.
Just because it is your propaganda does not make it real, Il Dunce…

munty the fascist, who is cheering the inauguration of a fascist regime in the US, himself has absolutely any idea of the meaning of the word fascist.
He thinks is means anyone who disagrees politically with him.
He is so dumb, he doesn’t even realise that the thread is about the attacks on Parler, not the banning of Trump. Total stupidity, stick to fantasy football munts, it is probably a bit above your abilities, but you might be able to keep it going.
Soon you will be able to watch it in real time. Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, and (especially) nothing against the state.
The frightening thing about that 2017 inauguration video is the age of the children protesting.
At about their age I spent 3 years in the early 1960’s on a NATO airfield in what was then West Germany waiting for the Russians and East Germans to turn up. I wonder if we should not have bothered and just let morons like those in the video and those who make inane comments on this site a la Monty for instance.

Is there a message you are trying to send us Rex? Perhaps that only fascists can call others fascists?
Well, since munty lives in Australia’s premier fascist state, which has a corrupted rule of law, and loves it, and is also cheering on the installation of a fascist government, that ignores the rule of law, in the US, there might even be something in the message.
The behaviour of BigTech is classic corporative state fascism, a la Mussolini’s Italy . Pre-Fascist syndicalism opposes the State, and subsequent Fascist syndicalism submits to the State.

Unfortunately.
After all, Benito M0ntylini does go full m0ntard when we use his fsvourite word to describe his behaviour rather than him describing ours…

But enough about munty, the numerical ostrich and the many socks of Grigory. Feel free to join the sensible commenters in friendly debate if you are ooen to having your pre-conceptions challenged.
How about refusing to bake a cake for a couple of lezzos pretending it’s a real marriage? Go with Ringshot. He thought this should be illegal because of religion. That’s some high level thinking there.
where can I bet that Harris will be President by the end of the week?
Have Twitter got contracts with the government? I know the CIA spread their “C2E” contract dollars across all the big names: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM. The Department of Defense gave their JEDI contract to Microsoft and then Amazon got shitty over that. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) split their purchasing between Microsoft and Amazon … presuming the “Progressives” don’t abolish ICE as they promised to do.
There is some of this state sponsored syndicalism going on here, but I don’t know how Twitter fits into the picture. Does anyone know where their investment comes from? Does Twitter actually produce revenue?

Perhaps FR….rather than make snide, fallacious and trite remarks about “lunatic fringe” and “smelling roses”…you yourself could get out, smell some roses and offer up your opinion on the topic of this thread….which is the reality of big tech censorship and the fact that the CEO of Parler has been forced into hiding with his family because of death threats. Now that would involve discussing the “reality” of what’s going on……..or is that a reality you simply don’t care about?
@ Cassie-
It’s just another driveby Getup! troll.
Like Bendy Dick and so many other NPCs and assorted 6-piece Chicken McNobodies that blow in, try to dump on us and disappear forever without any further trace.
At least we have JB Grip from Shanghai and the newcomer Kim Kar-krashian to provide some suitable tone from our CCP fascist overlords…
… and the newcomer Kim Kar-krashian …
AKA EllenG.
Most of Twitter’s revenues are from client advertising. Revenue growth depends on the extent to which Twitter can progressively trend toward the entity necessarily used globally by all businesses hoping to profitably expand.
The threat to the business model is lower cost competition using more distributed computing services.
Twitter’s response has been to provide partisan support to political entities in return for protection from competition.
In 2019 Twitter banned paid political advertising while simultaneously applying a double standard in censuring Twitter users depending on political ideology of user content, with a powerful message to its advertisers to fall in line or suffer economic damage similar to a strike by the advertisers workers.
AKA EllenG.
Actually, you’re right! The language does match…
What happened, did the original EllenG do an Iampeter and draw the wrath of the Doomlord? Or did she just find things were a bit too hot and tried to make a sockpuppet to use until things calmed down?
