Facebook and Instagram ban far right extremist

[Nehnenqui]

Lol, great news. All of those people are nut jobs.

Is Paul Watson far right?

Reports are true.

I have been banned by Facebook.

Was given no reason. I broke none of their rules.

In an authoritarian society controlled by a handful of Silicon Valley giants, all dissent must be purged.

Please visit while it still exists.

The ironic part about deliberately calling mainstream conspiracy theorist & gay shockjock types like Jones & Milo "far-right"...

They aren't. Classifying random individuals as far-right actually isolates you and drives their followers rightward. The number of diverse factions united in their hatred of your ideology ends up growing.

It is unfortunate that Paul Watson is being targeted because he is a pretty decent guy & does hold some authentically rightist positions (although not "far", "extreme" etc.).

Two of the biggest drivers of growth among the *actual* hard right, from what I've observed:

1. ***. After decades of careful censorship regarding the typical victim/perp demographics of US crime in the media & academia, *** had the bizarre idea of guilting neutral white and hispanic Americans for not "getting woke and picking a side". So they looked up the numbers. And realized they were the ones being ****d and murdered. And warmed up to white nationalism as an instrument of balance. I don't think that was your goal.

2. The tactic of calling moderate ********, libertarians and conspiracy theorists "far-right". Nobody actually believes that they're "far-right" unless they're using the term tongue-in-cheek to annoy people (like motorcity is doing...), so you gain nothing.

However taking 50 different political ideologies, most of them young in composition, using brute force censorship to silence their critique of your political candidates & justifying it by labeling them "far-right" sure makes it pretty clear which party they need to vote for, unconditionally, in every election, out of traumatic anger & a sense of invisible powerlessness.

This is the main reason I stopped using Facebook 6 months ago, despite previously being on there several times a day. I don't follow or care for any of the people listed (in fact, I've called AJ on his bullshyt) but I believe they should be able to participate in Facebook. I don't believe in this "lean left and pretend that's the new center" thing and won't let FB get the ad revenue from my participation.

Milo is harmless just a fun guy

Agree. He's like the gay Howard Stern of politics. He's trolling & trying to garner a response more than he's an extremist.

Idk who da f#ck most of the rest are so can't comment on them.

Louis I get cuz he's said f#cked up sh^t in the past, but idk if he's said anything lately & where does it end if you said sh^t in the past???? Did Liam Neeson get banned to?

And Alex is just a f#cking nut not really an extremist. Randomly I contend Alex Jones mighta been the best actor of our era if he'd pursued acting instead of alien & 9/11 sh^t to sell supplements & gas masks to other nuts.

PJW definitely isn't far-right. He's a decent guy.

The rest can go down with the ship

Farrakhan is far left
