More Kyle Kulinski/Secular Talk videos being deplatformed. This time for covering Trump. You wanted censorship and mindlessly supported it. You've got it. And for anyone arguing that platforms can do whatever they want so it's whatever, that argument doesn't even really apply anymore with the government (through Jen Psaki) pressuring Spotify to "do more", which led to dozens of Joe Rogan videos being taken down, which included Kyle Kulinski's podcast with Joe.

People on here have argued that social media can't function without a good amount of censorship because it will just turn into a shit show and become like Reddit or a spamfest or whatever. Well, that's wrong. That only really applies to forums. On twitter, you can block other people. No problem. On youtube, creators can block people from commenting on their videos. You don't need any censorship by the platform itself. Youtube was just fine for almost a decade and none of this nonsensical censorship was needed. You, in your emotions, begged for 1984 without even realizing it because a few Sandy Hook families were harassed. Was it worth the tradeoff?

Social media is not the government. Social media is not the government. Social media is not the government.

Sink in?

Go..start batshit twitter and neo-confederate youtube. No one is stopping you. Good luck, I hear the competition is fierce for that micro targeted market - and none of them are doing well. Maybe yours will be the one!

Where did I say social media was the government? The government is using its' power to pressure platforms into taking down media. That's wrong. That is not the governments role.

Hunter Biden laptop further confirmation. Disinformation campaign and election interference by American intelligence officials and American media and social media confirmed.

Oh, and Nudge, you're losing it dude. Look up Kyle Kulinski. He's not a neo-confederate. He's actually super far left. Don't know why you would have an issue with a lefty like Kyle who was censored right after saying that the election was not rigged against Trump and just for talking about what Trump said, which makes sense to you somehow, but to each their own.

Anyone can be a teacher these days

Quote:Teacher sacked for saying gay people have the ‘DNA of satan’

Robert Headley said Jews and Catholics were evil and gay people have the DNA of Satan.

The teacher from East London is Christian with orthodox beliefs including that the ‘chosen people’ were from Africa.

The hearing was also told that he led discussions on flat earth theories in class at Rokeby School.

He discussed whether the moon landings were faked but later said he did so in order to teach children about perspective.

He tried to sue the school, claiming he was being victimised for a complaint he had made about the school’s marking policy, but the tribunal found he had been dismissed appropriately.

I want to know those things too, but you're doing whataboutism here to cover for how you mindlessly bought into conspiracy theories about the Hunter Biden laptop story being Russian disinfo. You're a conspiracy theorist. No escaping that. Welcome to the club. I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I think we can call for transparency when it comes to Don and Don Jr., while  at the same time also disavowing these American intelligence officials and social media companies and main stream media companies that completely fabricated a story to interfere in the election on Joe Biden's behalf. Where are your concerns now about the "sacredness" of American elections? You don't care any more since it helped your guy this time? Look, I think Biden is better than Trump and he's been better than I expected. Raising the min. wage for federal workers, etc. This doesn't mean we should completely ignore this major election interference that happened. Are people going to learn a lesson from this? Of course not. They're going to be parroting whatever the intelligence community spits at them, from now to eternity. People never learn.

IR, you are living in a right-wing echo-chamber.

No one cares about Hunter Biden's laptop. I'm fully prepared to believe that Hunter Biden is a complete sleaze-ball, given non-partisan evidence. It makes no difference to my life or politics in general.

You are the one stuck in the echo chamber, my friend, and people on here used to talk about Don Jr. 100 times as much as I mention Hunter. I'm not asking you to care about Hunter Biden. This goes far beyond Hunter Biden. I'm asking you to care about election interference, American intelligence agents pushing a disinformation campaign which only served to shatter trust in the intelligence community for many, and censorship I'm not so sure you'd be ok with if it happened the other way around. If nearly every main stream media outlet and social media outlet were censoring true stories about Don Jr. or Ivanka, I think people here might just have a little something to say about that and might not like that world so much. But because you are in your echo chamber like you accuse me of, you just hear Hunter Biden's name and tune out, and cognitive dissonance makes you ignore the election interference and mass censorship aspects of this which are the most important and relevant.

And like I said, my post also was to speak to how easy it is to fool people by telling them something they want to hear and then throwing "intelligence officials say" behind those faulty claims. Will you fall for it next time? Did you fall for it with the Hunter story? Will you be more skeptical of the intelligence community like your name implies, or are you a skeptic in name only?

The forum since the Biden laptop story came out- "Haha funny conspiracy theory, Russian agent".

The forum after the story is set in stone.- "Stop clearing your name and showing that you were right. Only someone in a right wing echo chamber would care about clearing their name after being called wrong when they were totally correct all along. You taking the time to clear your name and take this victory lap only proves that you are living in a right wing echo chamber, so let's just ignore that we were wrong to say you were pushing conspiracy when we were actually the one pushing conspiracy theories from American intelligence officials. Let's stop talking about this... not because it's making me look bad or exposing the false claims I made that are now coming back to haunt me. It's because Hunter Biden is irrelevant. That's why we must stop talking about this."
