That said, FR is different. It is a private Conservative forum.
Jim sets the rules. You can follow them, or you are free to go somewhere else.
The rules actually make posts more accessible to a wider audience.
Some people tune out if there is too much crudeness, and there is a point where it can interfere with the flow of whatever thought is being expressed.
Just my two cents.
So, why can’t conservatives just create competing companies in the tech world?
I’ll tell you why.
I’m telling you this as a 30 yr vet in finance/Wall Street/Banking. There is no level playing field. Do you think a conservative company doing tech could value for say, 500 BILLION, without making a profit? Yeah, me neither.
That’s just a start, but the Deep State in the mid 90s created the Tech Machine for the purposes of;
Data Harvesting
Stock market gains/profits for their cause
Propaganda
Quid pro quo payoffs
Tax breaks
Federal grants/treasury raiding
Control of Wall Street and Banking
What they accomplished is a remarkable feat. Also, they’ve done it very successfully under the radar.
I’d like to see Parler’s reply because I remember ages ago I asked the owner @john and he told me they DO draw a line.
He said “if you can say it on a street in NYC then it’s fine”.
So threats etc. wouldn’t be allowed.
I agree though its a nightmare to police and not fair to boot them off with no notice!
