The demographic that likes to not be censored? Would hope that would include everyone, but given that Parler even exists is evidence that isn't the case.
Newsflash, Parker censors. It’s in their own guidelines.

From Business Insider
Users who violate the company's community guidelines can be removed from the app. The guidelines say posts that promote crime or unlawful acts, spam, copyright violations, content from terrorist organizations, or posts that otherwise interfere with Parler's "welcoming, nonpartisan Public Square" can be removed.
 
in history dems have held blacks down just as much as republicans..... thats not the point.... the point is that trump himself has come up with speeches that were basically shut up and stop complaining also.

He just tweeted law and order a bunch without actually doing anything to "take back" the "annexed" city blocks or stop the "fiery but mostly peaceful protests". What part of that do you find objectionable?

The guy above nailed it in one sentence better than I could.

Should I spend the next 1,000 pages in this thread posting all the slanted, false, stretched, and targeted news that the main media networks and leftist social media pages have spewed over the last 4 years. How about the same fringe political friends on social media that posted endless.. absolutely endless hit pieces on Trump, every single day.

To moan about a few websites that are questioning election results, in just a weeks time, after what we saw over the last 4 years.. well get used to it.
So no factual opposition. You don't like it so it's wrong in your opinion.
 
Imagine being a member of the chosen party of:

- Corporate Media
- Big Government
- Global Corporations
- Multinational bodies
- Academia
- Weaponized intelligence agencies

...and thinking it’s Trump that’s corrupt.
Why are these things corrupt? Because you don't like them or because they are engaged in corruption?

Why do you think people think Trump is corrupt? Can you step into their shoes and list some actions that he takes that some might view as being corrupt?
 
the same people crying 4 years ago about there can be no fraud is now crying there is fraud. thats a 2 ways street there.
Again, big difference between a year where everything is as it has been for decades and you cry muh Russia rigged it and a year where laws are changed weeks prior to an election, MIBs are accepted with no post marks, and places refusing court orders for people to watch how ballots are counted for whatever reason.

We were told 2016 was safe and impossible to rig by Obama himself. They backtracked after the election. People have been voicing their concern since June about this election. The Dems and media have also contributed to the thought of election fraud seeing as they spent the last 4 years doing everything they possibly could to remove Trump from office... you can’t blame people for thinking they aren’t above this.

Btw, you still never told me why Trump is racist. It’s been a week and you have presented 0 evidence other than your own insinuations.

There's a large difference in being the demographic who thinks labeling lies from the president as lies is censorship and actual censorship. No one fled to a different social media site when the others stopped allowing depictions of violence or other explicit images.

Peddling damaging conspiracy theories that incite others to violence, undermine free elections or democratic institutions, etc. isn't censorship, particularly not in a world where disinformation is weaponized and entities exist simply to create, spread and magnify it.

Besides, Parler isn't any less "censored" than anywhere else. They just saw a hole in the market for victim-minded right-wing pundits and Q folks and branded themselves as the place that won't censor *that*. It's another in the long line of grifts.
 
I guess you completely skipped over the "or he's trolling liberals" part?

and I'm an independent.......... now that trump is toast... I can go back to not really caring much whether a dem or rep is running the white house thank god.
Lol, all you liberal idiots try to claim to be independent. Why can’t you just be honest and admit you’re a liberal? Oh wait.. honest? Nevermind.
 
Thank you to our veterans for their service...

give an example Mashburned

Even snopes rates this one as 100% true.


This one is more insinuation than it is clearly racist. The only reason I post it, is if Trump said the exact same things he did, the media would be out in full TrUmPs a RaCiSt mode. See above where “law and order” = shut up black people

Lol I never said I had no factual opposition. I'm just not going to get into the weeds here, that's what the political thread is for, and they debunk your questions and claims by the minute it seems, far better than I can or care to. I'm just here to explain what we're seeing because apparently it's a real toughie to understand.

I don't particularly like that Qanon, and potentially Parler, could be using misinformation tactics. But it's hard for me to care much when misinformation has permeated in the MSM and arts for so long, and long before Trump was ever running for office. Are those sites taking it to the next level? Time will tell. But going back to one of my first posts, it's hard not to see fault this is, who helped create this mess.

I don't know what to tell you. You're a leftist and that's your prerogative. If this is how you deal with a few sites popping up that cater to conservative beliefs (and yes, some conspiracy/whacky posts) then it's going to be rough go from here.
 
It took the last week for u to figure that out?

I think this week, with them just basically saying that people should accept something even though there is legitimate and widespread evidence of fraud, is telling. These are little bullies. They would never accept being swindled and would take full advantage of legal recourse if they believed they were being cheated. But, when it comes to the very fabric of civic life, they want people to lay back and take it.

Was locking out and shutting down the NY Post censorship? Or was it acceptable because it protected a democrat?
 
covid is a weapon to hurt our economy........ lmao. cant even have a discussion with you on the earlier things you said because that is just the level of absurd that tells me no amount of logic will get you out of conspiracy theory land.

Covid has been used as an excuse to harm the economy. There’s nothing absurd about it. Especially when Schumer and Pelosi want to use it as a reason to bail out the pre-covid fiscal mismanagement of blue states which are beset by pension woes, using funds that have practically nothing to do with with the virus.

See how easy it is to understand facts?

It was a bunch of lies, and thus fit the description of election disinformation. Rules are rules, if you don’t follow them there are consequences. If you don’t like the rules then don’t participate in the platform or do something to change the rules.

first off, someone gave me a week timeout from this thread....... dont know why. was never told why

2nd , I think trump is a bigot and a trump elitist. he looks down equally on everyone ..... the things he has done , by taking the immediate opposite position to people having concerns and cries about their people being killed by cops ....by law and order and then again giving speeches with blue lives matter flags. I mean come on.... he's at least playing things up to get the votes from the white supremacist crowd.

You're either a person who knows exactly why that NY Post story was "blocked" or someone who's better off on Parler hashing it out. If you don't already see it, I don't have the time or energy to change your mind.

You believe it and think every other legitimate news outlet on earth is part of a grand coverup. If none of the existing discussion on the topic has swayed you, I sure won't.

So in short, see the part of my post about disinformation.

it wasn’t pulled for being lies or election disinformation - it was pulled bc they thought it contained hacked materials, when in fact, it didn’t and was released by the owner.

Post the lies...or maybe check out twitters explanation before spouting off your own lies.

lol if you think they want to hurt the economy. You realize they also have to win elections right.... even liberals need the economy to be good.

If Biden is sworn in as POTUS, you will hear next to nothing about Covid. It will not be talked about. CNN has already removed its Covid ticker, because they think Biden has won. Now is that not political? Democrats say nothing about huge gatherings(protests), but claim Trumps rallys are "super spreader events". Is that not political?
