Dear Alex Jones: The Market Will Fix Everything!

[LJ_Reloaded]

Amirite, folks?

 

[IG_88]

If you're talking about all the places removing his content then I'd have to say I disagree with them. It's their choice but I personally don't feel it's right to silence someone just because you don't like what they have to say.
They can do what they feel is best for their companies tho.

Do you agree that the free market will fix this?

Well, do you?

 

[beew]

I agree with your sentiment LJ, because Alex Jones often said crazy or unpleasant things.

But was it about some truly violent content on his part,
or does that signify the beginning of internet censorship? Like England

As much as I started to dislike Trump lately,
I often worried that the 'Russia investigation' might open a can of worms:
Remember when Twitter founders had to testify before Congress for hosting those Russian bots who interfered in elections? What if other internet companies start worrying about being held responsible for hosting stuff that can be -subjectively- seen as subversive?

I would rather see organizations like KKK, neoNazi groups censored as well as internet bullies like in the case of Amanada Todd, instead.

You follow Alex Jones?

You pay attention to Alex Jones?

You want to debate Alex Jones? I think you have a problem.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Then again, maybe you are dumpster diving to find someone who measures up to your intellect.



:shrug:

I wouldn't debate a loser like him. On the other hand your head is a septic tank for storing all his bullshit.

I'm gloating, son. Every defeat for the Right is a victory for humanity.

Awwww look at the scared little socialist too chicken shit to lay claim to his leftism.


Typical and in a wonderfully ironic sense you're validating a lot of what Alex Jones had to say about the left.

LOL nobody cares what you think anymore. Fuck off.

Yet here you are responding again.......


Still an impotent hippie, the once loud and proud lefty now too scared to own up to it.

Probably because capitalism has provided you with a wonderful upper middle class life and deep down inside you know socialism is bullshit.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Run run run run ruuuuun away....pathetic little lefty!!!

Alex Jones is the patron saint of teh NotRepublican bottom feeders.

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

I always thought he was a kook. But this unprecedented coordinated shut down makes me think he actually got something right last week. No idea what. I don't understand why lefties are cheering this. Isn't it obvious that someone you like can be next?

While the Alex Jones banning is less controversoal (he is a racist who incited violence after all), the following isn't:

Ron Paul claimed that American social media have started to censor moderate conservative voices.
Apparently the director of the Ron Paul institute and several libertarians were banned on Twitter, the day after Facebook blocked several other conservative accounts. They claimed that "hate speech" was the cause but it wasn't, as per the screenshots provided.

I don't understand the logic of allowing hate groups like KKK and White Supremacy to spew all that hatred and incite violence -- in the name of Constitution and freedom of speech,
Yet moderate conservatives are being banned on social media, -- in the name of prohibiting hate speech. Even if those are 'private organizations'.

People became belatedly aware of Jones' hatemongering and calls to violence, so in your mind he "got something right"?

America belatedly went to war with Nazi Germany two years after everyone else did, does that indicate Hitler "got something right" as well?

And to answer your specious rhetorical question, no I'm not going to "be next" because I don't advocate violence.

You have a long history of blathering, ignorant posts. This one is certainly in the "Top 10" of your personal Hall of Shame.

Uh oh. Start the countdown timer for LadyVictimstein to claim victim status.

LOL Rob can't ever make it more than a few posts before going Godwin

Censorship is not when a privately owned internet platform enforces its TOS. Censorship is when the government prevents its citizens from expressing their opinions, from practicing their religion and from protesting to highlight their disagreement with the different governing authorities.

A little like when a president tweets that a citizen, who is using his constitutional right to protest against unjustified police killings, should lose his job.

In theory and on paper, you're right. But we all know that the giant Social Media platforms aren't 100% independent in practice, don't we? Not only that they wouldn't have developed without the State's support, but they partially depend on favorable State policies for their continued existence.


There are two separate issues going on here:

With all the divide and hatred boiling towards crisis point, Social Media decided to no longer allow online bullying (be it in the form of inciting racial hatred, or Alex Jones or Amanda Todd type attacks). Few would disagree with these moves.

But in a separate parallel trend, people like Ron Paul claim that the accounts of several moderate conservative were banned for ulterior reasons. Particularly Ron Paul Institute's ANTI-WAR branch executive.

Could be what Ron Paul suggested , or a simple SocialMedia paranoia in the aftermath of the RussiaGate scandal. Twitter executives Did have to testify in Congress after all, for unknowingly hosting Russian bots.
Or who knows...

You are #1 of the Top Ten Hall of Shame in general. You sicken me and a lot of other people too scared to admit it, lest you hurl racial slurs, homopobic insults or misogynist female shaming posts. Wait I correct myself. They aren't afraid, they see you as the loser you are and dont want to engage you. Believe it or not, most people people post online for fun. Few are sitting there hitting F5 to engage in battle over a personality neither of us actually listen to. That's you Rob. Always insulting always fighting. Maybe someday you will get a girlfriend. I'd bet if you were happy in life you would not be like this.

Good luck. You are the saddest sad sack of lit I have ever seen. And I know you blood is boiling and you will attack me for telling the truth... But it won't matter because I have a happy life and will forget about this in 10 minutes. And I may log in tomorrow or maybe in six months.

But I know you will be waiting regardless...
