The idea that the Hard Left totally corrupt Department of Justice, and the politically corrupt federal judiciary, are going to dismantle or regulate Facebook and Google is a sick comedy.
“Why don’t we just respond with a “Conservative” Facebook?”
The left never creates anything. Entrepreneurs do, and the left buys up the successes. I recall not that many years back when Youtube, Twitter and such were truly open platforms and almost all discussion was tolerated.
You’ll need your own servers, you own mobile phone platform, your own “paypal”, your own bank, your own sponsors (corporate Amerika will blacklist you), and anyone posting to your site will be denied employment.
or haven’t you been paying attention?
“Why don’t we just respond with a “Conservative” Facebook?”
The object is not for conservatives to have a place to go. The object is to get the conservative message as it is - not as the left THINKS it is - out. As long they control the platform they will never allow any challenge to their faux moral high ground. That means, they will eventually win. They know this. It is one of the only true things they know.
Think of the leftist you know. All of them are incredibly narrow minded yet claim to be tolerant. They all function in group think mode while loudly trumpeting that they are free thinkers. None of them is able to form an independent thought yet they claim to be enlightened. They call good evil and laud evil as progressive.
You cannot argue with that kind of indoctrinated mind by simply going away. They will never change until they have to defend their ideas. C. S. Lewis, in the book, Letters to Malcolm, wrote that “it is easier to pray for a boor than to go visit him” The same is true of your leftist friends and family. They purposely make you uncomfortable while decrying you making them uncomfortable. They want you to go away and to be able to blame for it.
Leftist are sophist. They believe that the only truth is who controls the definition of words. You can’t just go away. You have to confront them with the absolute truth that their World View is a lie. To do that you have to keep them from controlling, to use their term, the narrative. You also have to interact with them.
They will never have to defend their ideas while they control the medium of delivery. This is not a simple issue of “Free Markets eventually winning” this is deeper than that.
So, contrary to what some on this list “Face Book is Evil” Ping List say, I believe you need to be on Face Book, or Twitter or Whatsap and to confront, in a loving way where possible, the lies your relatives, and friends believe.
But, to do that you better really know your stuff.
Just my thoughts.
