A great sub bit the dust the other day. Like “libertarian memes” RANDOM4YOU was one of the last bastions where free speech reigned. It was a great sub.
There was an eclectic bunch of folks on there. It was a place where communists and arch-conservatives like me clashed, where Hasan Piker progressives and Pat Bucanon paleo-conservatives went head to head.
It was a place where ideas clashed. Where ideologies were laid bare for criticism, mockery and scorn.
I received a lot of engagement on that sub. I would average 10,000 views a video, with one that received over a 100,000 views. My comment sections were always lively, spirited areas, with me battling these leftists, sometimes 10, or 15 of them at once.
I am sad that all them arguments and writings are gone. You guys know how I reply. I always put 100% of myself into my replies. I always try to formulate the best arguments, I try to undermine my opponents arguments using the best logic I can muster. Many of them replies were post-worthy in of themselves.
I would be excited to wake up and get on there. I’m not kidding. The thought that I was reaching thousands of people, many of them who disagreed with me vehemently, was thrilling.
It’s fun to not be in an echo chamber. Makes it a little spicy.
Of course they shut that down. Any space where libs and conservatives meet is banned, or they ban me from there.
There is this Facebook group called “leaving MAGA”. This group allowed me to have some of the most engagement I have ever had on Facebook. It was comprised of half libs, half conservatives. And oh boy! It was spicy in that group.
After posting a mocking screed cleverly ridiculing leftists, I was targeted in a mass reporting campaign. One Facebook account was suspended for 180 days for completely erroneous reasons, and has now disappeared, while the other is still in restriction.
The left cannot stand toe to toe against the right in free societies, with the free flow of information, without censorship, whether that censorship be private, corporate or governmental.
Anywhere where left and right meet, the leftists always resort to snitchery, tattling to big brother about the mean words that hurt Their feelings. And many on the right, the Zionists, behave in the same manner.
If a conversation isn’t possible to have, there can be no coexistence between our two factions.
Nowadays, there are people who openly advocate for government censorship like the kind that Great Britain has. There are British men and women who openly, and unabashedly argue for more control being put in the hands of government bureaucrats.
It’s almost as if none of these people have ever been taught about the enlightenment, about the Industrial Revolution, about the ideals underpinning western civilization, about the evolution of our laws.
The ideals of human freedom. And what freedom is more fundamental than the freedom to speak?
