All your retarded clickbait are belong to ..... other sources, apparently. Here is the rest. See, posting bot? Not clickbait now.

In an unusual but interesting line of reasoning, her dissatisfaction with Ravelry’s anti-Trump policy is practical, not political. What she resents is that the site is now spending time and money on policing their new ban. Yet at the same time, they’re not making funds available to deal with the serious issue of pattern piracy on the site.
In other words, Ravelry’s suppression of Trump supporters clearly takes greater precedence over doing something about the piracy of its own members’ patterns and projects. Squelching free speech is now far more important than protecting the patterns of Ravelry members from blatant piracty.
So now Crochet O’clock is done. She’s gradually removing all her content and taking it elsewhere. She explains why right here.
Hate is perfectly OK if you’re an SJW
A final irony: As of today, F**k Trump knitting patterns are still available to Ravelry’s logged-in members. Here’s a snapshot of a few of them.
WalkAway from Ravelry
A selection of Ravelry F*** Trump projects still available for members of the site. Fair and balanced policies for knitters.
The link to these patterns is here. Or at least it was the last time I looked. But they are available only to logged-in members. Looks like work by SJW supremacists is A-OK with Ravelry.
But it’s not OK for quite a few Ravelry members who are sick and tired of fake news and hyper-partisan politics.
On Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere, comments clearly indicate that a goodly number of Ravelry members are leaving the site and taking their patterns with them as a result of the site’s new, virtue-signaling policy.
Any sensible site catering to knitting hobbyists and professionals would have been better off by gently discouraging all blatantly political commentary. And perhaps even highly politicized knitting patterns as well. Yet Ravelry has chosen sides, caving to the PC Police and the assorted SJWs dedicated to insulting and alienating roughly half of all American citizens. But as other virtue-signaling corporations are discovering, there’s a price to pay for driving away roughly fifty percent of your real and potential customers.
ESPN and Ravelry: Two peas in a failed business pod
Ask ESPN what all that sports network’s race-baiting over the past few years did to their viewership numbers. Right. This nonsense put them in a subscriber-losing tailspin from which the once premier sports network has yet to recover. Why? Because sports fans who ponied up the ever-increasing price of an ESPN subscription package were paying to see sports, not another clone of CNN’s stable of fake news clowns.
Ravelry may be about to discover the same business truth. Avid, longtime members of this site want to knit and promote their latest patterns. They’re into knitting, not political hate. In other words, they’re generally not on Ravelry to climb on their political soapboxes. Hence, the spontaneous WalkAway from Ravelry movement is now in process.
So how is a policy that defames and drives away so many of your current and potential customers good for any business? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I fixed this thread on my post...piker...LOL
A lot of the liberal smears of conservatives is based on the LIE that Trump called white supremacists fine people. Once you lay that foundation, all Trump supporters can be lumped in with white supremacists.
The “Fine People” Hoax Funnel
https://blog.dilbert.com/2019/04/30/the-fine-people-hoax-funnel/
What is damning is that all of Scott Adam’s videos debunking this lie are demonetized and damn near hidden, because liberals in power in Big Tech want to perpetuate the hoax. After all, it justifies their systemic oppression of conservative content as hate speech/in league with modern evil.
