Why Conservatives Are Being Blacklisted
National Interest ^ | 1/15/2021 | Rachel Bucchino

Aspecter is haunting conservatism—the specter of a Progressive blacklist that seeks to expunge the Right. A string of President Donald Trump’s online accounts blocked or restricted his access following the deadly U.S. Capitol siege last week because of escalated fears that he may incite additional insurrection—what conservatives are calling the “progressive purge.” Since last Wednesday’s turmoil at the U.S. Capitol, Twitter has booted Trump from its platform, Facebook and YouTube suspended the president, and any Right-leaning Twitter accounts who championed a pro-Trump stance have either seen a drastic decrease in followers or have been kicked off the platform. Cautions about hiring Trump administration officials are also brewing.

“...that you’re going to trade this four-foot cube of 18-carat Swiz bullion—and the snake knives, Mrs. Presky?

"All for that little bag?”

“Yes!” says Mrs. Presky, beside herself with desire. “I want the bag!”

“Well, all right, then, open it up.”

“Yes, yes! Uh—why—why this is a bag of sh*t!”

“But it’s really great sh*t, Mrs. Presky…”

Can a black conservative be blacklisted?

The dems are better at the exercising political power than we are. We typically don’t want to exercise power over Americans, it’s anathematic to most conservatives who prefer a government that just leaves us alone. Dems are the complete opposite. They covet power and we’ve seen how much damage they can do with a little power and now we’re all about to see what they do with total unchecked power. Dark times lie ahead.

Yes, because they are not really black; they are “white on the inside.”

:rolleyes:

The blacklist has been going on for years but it never got much attention because it was done quietly. They f’ed up now by bringing it to the forefront. Conservatives have no alternative but to fight back now.

My daughter’s friend is black and on the way to graduating with a medical degree. Her family calls her “White Girl”.

One of the tactics of the blacklist has traditionally been whisper campaigns. Basically, that works out to all kinds of sociopathic targeted lies being told about people who have no idea what lies are being told about them because of conspiracies of silence. If the blacklist is out in the open, the whisper campaigns will hopefully stop (but I wouldn’t bet on it).

I think this new variety of working-in-the-open blacklist will eventually blow up in the Left’s face. We should remember the more insidious conspiracies of silence are likely to follow at that time, and take steps toward ensuring transparency in hiring, firing, and commerce.

Don’t know if you follow Coach Red Pill on Youtube, but according to his advice as a person who had fled from political conflict in Chile, he said the three options Right-thinking Americans have are: to bend the knee, stay and be killed, or flee. I usually agree with his sentiments, but he said fleeing was the only sensible choice. The idea of fleeing is anathema.

There is a fourth position: stay, play the game, form an underground network of like-minded thinkers, raise our kids according to our values, but teach them how and why TPTB conflict with us fundamentally. Basically, use subterfuge and play the long game.

This is not a fight we will win in ten or twenty years. Marxist have been plotting their take-over for more than a century. The question is do we have the fortitude to fight a long war through deception, underground connections, and pretense? Conservatives don’t like to fight dirty, but that’s what wins.

Not exactly. The democrat is the only viable party because it is the party willing to fight. Politics is war.

I cannot stand Libertarians preaching peace political correctness and weak kneed Republicans. If you do not fight, stay out of politics. Period.

Now the corporations and government are arraying battle plans and the sheeples will cower in fear. Disgusting. A vote is just as meaningful as a bullet, and if people cannot handle it, then get out the country, period.

And that's how the black culture ostracizes and bullies anyone who dares to step off the Democrat massas' plantation. One would think that they would recognize at some point that the Democrat slavers never have given up on the idea of keeping black people down--they have only changed their methods. But no, most black people fall for the Democrat lies and dutifully blame "racism" for their failures to succeed.

“A grand experiment begins: we killed spiritual leaders abroad for inciting terror even when they were citizens (trivia question: who legally authorized that?) and it worked so well we should bring counterterror home,” Samuel Moyn, author and professor of law and history at Yale University, sarcastically tweeted Thursday, in response to CNN national security analyst Juliette Kayyem’s remarks about the “tactical response” to bring about “total isolation of the president of the United States” through impeachment, the 25th Amendment and deplatforming.

Samuel Moyn

Juliette Kayyem

Which one is more manly looking?

Bend the knee, stand and die, and flee.

That is the choices before us.

Don’t expect anyone to save you. The elite doesn’t really care (on any side) about you. You are an annoyance.

The biggest question I have is “Where to flee to?”

Because they want to beat us all down. Get rid of the party. Didnt they call us all racist before Trump. And even when there was the last Republican president. Never seen a president get disrespected and treated that way. And they did it because the president has to let it roll off his back. Trump would fire back after them and they would say how out of control and unpresidential he looked for defending himself. Well we don’t have to let it roll off of our backs.

I expect no one to save me, yet I won’t go down without at least trying.

Many people say Poland or Hungary look like good places to emigrate to, but regardless of how conservative they may seem they’re still part of the EU. Others look to Latin America, hardly a bastion of freedom. My father owns a little farm in the Caribbean to where’s he’s retired and I’d urge my child or nephews & nieces to move there if they were in peril, but it would be a meager existence.

The truth is we’re all in for a major cataclysm. Be resolute, stand firm, and brace ourselves.
