YouTube deletes Alex Jones' channel

[Underseer]

Look, we don't expect social media to provide outlets for radical imams who make calls to violence that inspire acts of terrorism.

Mullah Mohammed Jones makes calls to violence that get acted upon.

What is the conservolibertarian explanation for this? Why is it OK to deny a platform to terrorism-inspiring imams, but not terrorism-inspiring Jones?

We already had one maniac shoot up a pizza restaurant.

Sandy Hook parents have had to move multiple times and cannot visit the graves of their dead children for fear of violence.

Now on top of everything else, mullah Mohammed Jones has issued a fatwa against the entire media (minus conservolibertarian propaganda outlets, naturally).

If we have to keep Jones, then should we demand that Facebook, Twitter et. al. welcome back those radical imams and provide a platform for them?

 

[Keith&Co.]

Yes.

I know, we're all supposed to believe the official reasons, which is why Trump revoking Manafort's clearance wasn't a political act but due to Manafort's risky behavior.

Yeah, but the naysayers of Trump's official positions usually have e idence for questioningbthe official position... like, yyhe next thing Trump says...

 

[Underseer]

Oooh, "official reasons"?

Is this a new conservolibertarian conspiracy theory I haven't heard of yet?

What is the plot? Who is doing it? Does this conspiracy involve any of the lizard people who secretly control the government, or is it the gay frogs again? What about Obama's secret weather weapon? Is the Deep State going to finally use Obama's secret weather weapon to confiscate everyone's guns?

You believe in lizard people and gay frogs? That's weird. Is that a new fascist conspiracy theory I haven't heard of yet?

Why did it take that long to deal with a pirate radio station?

Good videos from super lefty "Real News Network" based in Baltimore





User comment:

What business does a think tank linked to NATO have in advising companies on which people to censor and deplatform? NATO is a military alliance. Why is a military alliance and its propagandistic support organization so interested in crushing dissent? Why do they feel so threatened? The Atlantic Council is the Ministry Of Propaganda for the Military Industrial Complex.

Good. I don't like the idea of Facebook as a news media platform in the first place. I wasn't aware of the Obama/Clinton twitter conspiracy (around six minutes into the video). I guess I'm just going to have to get my crackpot theories from the homeless guy at the station now.

On a side note, Ben Norton desperately needs some elocution lessons.

 

[repoman]

Yeah, he does fumble a bit. If this was not live he should have done retakes.

It is an awkward dilemma for the Right, as is Google's firing of James Damore. They claim that they love capitalism, and they claim that business leaders and managements deserve a free hand to run their companies in whatever way they like. But are they willing to be good losers about it? Will they go on record as saying that James Damore and Alex Jones ought to take responsibility for their actions and not cry like liberals? Will they also say that the wisdom of these acts is totally irrelevant? Will they say that if those acts were unwise, then they proudly recognize that life isn't fair? Will they say that the market will provide and that it is thus wrong to put pressure on businesses?
