There is nothing stopping them from setting up their own banks and their own infrastructure as well and on and on.

It saddens me that people think this is acceptable. Would you be cool if you could no longer use your phone, your credit cards, and your internet?

what will they call the right wing internet?

Developed from scratch in a West Virginia Meth Lab by real blond Americans who use real drugs and guns at the same time using the new conspiratorial discovery unifying the Quantum and the Quanon universe:  elecktrons.

In this really alternative web, secure private messages are transmitted by highly entangled elecktrons that have been trapped at a LOCKERUP rally wall, hopefully on the southern border.

they will call it the elePhone developed specifically for 3-G and people who care about symbols like elephants and elecktions in general.

they will get eletext, send DUMBO tweets, and they can repurpose pornhub to handle all their family updates like facebook.

this will be good for business, you'll see, no censorship at all.
just say whatever comes to mind, nobody cares.

Twitter says that Ugandans should not suppress free speech as that is antithetical to a democratic election.

:lol:

To be fair, it's hard for me to believe that what corporate media reports is the full truth. I don't know of any unbiased news source that doesn't reported slanted information in an attempt to control the narrative and manipulate the viewers in some way.

Conservative, Liberal, Right wing, Left wing, are basically isms to me, and isms are generally boxes to stifle free thought and critical thinking with conditions (which probably don't completely describe you as a free thinking individual) required to put yourself in any of the boxes. Then people accept those conditions, (even if it isn't completely accurate) because it is close enough for them to have a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves. Another thing to attach to the EGO that they can call themself.

For me personally, I take each individual position (which are all required of the whole) on it's own merit, rather than consider if the position conforms to the box I chose to pick, the label I chose to associate "myself" with.

I think the actual narrative is that many people in general are unhappy with most of the government officials, rather than just right-wing trump supporters. Imagine if Antifa and the Proud boys worked together to effect change! I'm sure there is a common ground in our freedoms and rights in which they can all agree on, like police accountability (especially to the extent in which qualified immunity protects them, the level of education required, and their pay). However the isms put them in their individual boxes, creating an obstacle and division, (a hideous strawcrow) hindering the true power of the people by using division and controlling the narrative. The people in power love their power, so they don't mind giving some of their power to the ones that will help protect their power for the sake of retaining their power. The Media and the police, are the biggest protectors of that power, the media by controlling the narrative and creating division and deflecting any sort of unity, and the police through force.

You know, I think Bernie Sanders only runs to gauge the sentiment of the commoners, and never plans to be president. I mean he weeded out the angle (healthcare) that Biden needed to use to win the votes, and once he did that, the media propped up Biden. I think most of these official care about protecting their power more than anything else. (they all have that in common, and work together in that regard), and the people need to do the same (because individually they can't do shit, and the ones in power knows that only in the unity of the people will their power ever really be threatened).

Right wing and left wing are just guises the establishment set-up to create the illusion of conflict of those in power, and for those without much power to conform to, so they will be divided, (and without much power) while the ones in power aren't really divided in the first place.

Trump was trying the whole divide and conquer thing to retain is power, but all it did was create divides that helped to consolidate the stronger powers. (maybe that was his purpose all along)

People know there is something fucked up with the system, but they can't quite put their finger on it, (and generally settle for menial explanations presented) and that's because they are looking at the illusion created for them to look at, instead of the wizard behind the curtain.

TLDR: The Media, Politicians, and Law Enforcement all worship the establishment that gave them their power by doing what they can to protect their power, (using manipulation, illusions of division, and force) thereby protecting the establishment that gave them their power and consolidating the power of the establishment. However, in unity, the people still have more power.

I got spoiled by this place, and made comfortable expressing my opinions under my real name. If I don't get hired? Oh well. Guess I didn't want to work with those folks, anyway. I've been doxxed. It's whatever.

Well, give and take.

Sheep are sheep regardless of where they get their fake news. But with a more "Open Forums", perhaps the critical thinkers and fact checkers can entice some of the sheep to look into the claims more :P

In the long run, I could see the sheep being turned into lions, if it's possible. Especially if they are allowed equal opportunities to tear their arguments to shreds.

But, I agree with ole Ben;

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
