The American Ho Chi Minh, what's his name - the CEO of Twitter - will have to answer to his board about the hemorrhage of conservative users and their millions of followers.
That's just one leftist company of many that we can impact. We don't have to get into a shooting war with them. We have the economic power to bring them down. Starting with Twitter, facebook, etc.
Here are my recommendations and alternatives. Please feel free to add yours.
Twitter - Dump in favor of Parler. Millions have done so already, especially since last night.
Facebook - If I keep it's only to catch up on friends far and wide. But I'll ignore their adds and click baits. I deleted it from all but one device, which I'll only check once a day. As soon as I find an alternative to keep up with actual friends and family, I'll dump it. Open to suggestions.
Google - I signed off from all devices. Dumping my gmail account. Not using Google maps anymore.
Apple - I'm stuck with an iPhone because of work but I won't buy any accessories or apps from them anymore. As soon as I can switch to another non-Apple or Android device, I will.
Amazon - There are many alternatives. You can buy directly from many retailers and manufacturers. You can encourage mom and pops to get on eBay and sell their wares nationwide. Veterans can get on aafes.com.
MSM - Obviously, they won't get one click or view from me. I've added the WSJ, the New York Post and other sellouts to this.
Travel only to free states, cities and territories.
All politics is local. Get involved in your local school board, councils, etc. Elbow out the socialists from as many organizations as possible.
Cancel China. Make an effort to buy products that are not made in China. I look for products made in Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan and all the other regional competitors of the CCP. Obviously, buy American first but only if not CCP-affiliated.
Starbucks - Make your own coffee for crisakes. Check out Black Rifle Coffee Co. and others.
Build your own PC from American or allied-made components.
Use firefox, ddg, or others rather than Chrome, Edge, IE, etc.
Only by making the crybabies that run these companies answer to their BoD bottom lines, will we start to turn this around.
His board will grant him a raise for getting rid of those dirty Trump supporters.
We need to protest and boycott the tech companies while demanding political freedom.
No justice no pieces of silver.
I’ll start by selling my Apple stock on Monday.
Canceling Twitter and Facebook today
Apple - I’m stuck with an iPhone because of work but I won’t buy any accessories or apps from them anymore. As soon as I can switch to another non-Apple or Android device, I will.

Unfortunately jumping to Android is just moving from an Apple device to Google.
Live in a cave?
With that beard he does look like Ho Chi Minh. It must be a commie thing to grow a scraggly beard like that.
I think Minds could be a fb replacement.
I like Gab better than Parler for a twitter replacement.
But use both.
“black rifle co”
****
didn’t that fake-conservative coffee co. throw Kyle Rittenhouse under the bus for wearing their t-shirt?
Twitter could disappear tomorrow and Jack Dorsey would still be a multi billionaire. Same thing with the other tech billionaires. They flexed their muscles and slapped down a United States President. Wait 4 more years now that they have bought the government they wanted.
Selling stock at the right price will do you more good. I personally know a multi-millionaire who bought shares in a company.
Because many years ago, he was FIRED from the company. He wanted to get back at them later on by buying more shares so he can at least sit on the board and fire the same clowns who fired him. True story.
Thanks for the aafes link. I didn’t know vets (non retired) could shop there.
I think Black Rifle Coffee went woke and is expensive.
I think I read it here. I’ll look for a story, as I might be incorrect.
Dump Facebook too. It is a must. This is serious. You will get cut off anyway.
That’s not entirely clear. The board basically put him on an employee improvement program back in November.
Jack Dorsey remains CEO of Twitter after board demands performance targets

This event would seem to be to be a direct antithesis of what they were demanding.

That’s true. And Apple has done a better job of not _looking_ like a place that is spying on us.
But the original advantage of Android remains, which is that it is not a closed corporate ghetto like all Apple stuff.
And there’s more than one “store” e.g. Amazon runs one. (I realize issue with Amazon but the point is it’s not Google.)
And it is trivially easy to install “apps” that do not come from any “store.” At least up to recent versions, you can set your system to allow that.
And you can install any number of variants of Android hacked by any number of people. Including yourself.
As it was always going to end up, integrity of the publisher of the “app” depends on the publisher, not some big brother like the Play store or whatever place the Apple ghetto provides.
I like the analogy of “Ho Chi Minh”, as I was actually thinking of that the other day. I was thinking of the fall of South Vietnam after Kennedy led the dems to defunding them which eventually led to the North taking over. Specifically how the people of the South felt knowing they lost and now have to figure out how to survive under a communist regime.
Then the thought process went to more recent events, that of Venezuela. Knowing now they used the same voting machines, the good people of that nation must have talked among themselves “just how could this happen”. And now we know, for massive voter fraud could not be stopped. The rule of law and order for the Venezuelans is now what the government says it will be.
I’ve never had a Facebook or Twitter account. Some FReeper mentioned yesterday that all should come to an agreement to target these lefty outfits one at a time and crush them financially by refusing to buy their products or the products of their sponsors. In other words, use leftist tactics against the leftists. I think it’s a good idea but real people like FReepers that have jobs and limited time on their hands may be hard to corral into a focused group to accomplish it. Still, it’s a good idea.

I thought Android uses Google play.
Chrome books are in most schools.
Can parents start to demand that their kids use an alternative laptop or at least parents have a say in the search engines their kids use?
