Why Does Big Tech Censor Conservatives And Not Terrorists?
19FortyFive ^ | 3/3/2201 | Michael Rubin

Posted on 03/03/2021 8:23:00 AM PST by Onthebrink

The growing willingness by U.S. Big Tech to censor political debate highlights a hypocrisy that belies any notion that expelling conservative voices is an act of principle rather than something more cynical and sinister. President Donald Trump may have been intemperate, but violence linked to his Twitter account is more debatable. Certainly, he exacerbated America’s political polarization, but no more so than former Office of Management and Budget nominee Neera Tandren and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). Political polarization is a problem and the tone of American political leaders and cable news pundits neither elucidate nor help, but censorship is not the answer.

It’s simply because conservatives offer no help in ruining and despoiling America, and terrorists are brothers and sisters in arms.

Big Tech is part of the New World Order.

They want to suppress those who cling to their Bibles and guns and encourage those who will attack them.

Because Big Tech and terrorists are on the same team.

Well for certain it doesn’t take millions, and years to get the answer to that question. So great minds maybe, but I can only claim a simple mind myself. 8>)

I will happily pay the Pay-For-View fee to watch the military tribunal trial and execution of these tech CEO's and their handlers and proteges.

Karma is coming, at the personal direction of our Lord and Savior Himself (Glory to His Name!).

Revelation 18:17-19
…17 For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
18 and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim.
19. Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”…

Yes, and they ignore those who cling to their guns, bombs and Korans.
They also ignore CCP operatives trying to poison the US with viruses and who knows what else.
Therefore, the current regime occupying the Whitehut is run by the CCP, UN, and big money globalists who let “certain religions” do whatever they pleas.
We are being run by antichristians. That includes the Poop in the Vatican.

Has anyone heard of them closing any mosques?
Yet they walled off an entire neighborhood of Jews.
Certain bookstores even refuse to sell the Bible and probably sell the Koran.

In a multi-party republic system there will always be polarization. So, what?

DJT did not make it worse. He was blunt and politically incorrect — which means he didn’t care if speaking truth hurt some snowflake’s feelings.
The situation was worsened by the left’s heaping hate and derision on anyone who did not kneel to them. We were told for >4 years that we were racists, deplorables, etc. Don’t expect me to be friendly to anyone who didn’t speak up during that time and say “Whoa, that’s going to far!”
Now, you want unity? Take a knee, or bugger off. This is the effect of heaping hate on people incessantly for years; they eventually hate right back once they finally realize that you, at your core, are evil. And, until you, YOU, make amends, I’m not forgiving any of you.

“...Certainly, he exacerbated America’s political polarization..”

Absolute twaddle!!!!!

Like 8 years with “O’Bozo” was social Nirvana??!! WHY on earth does the author think Trump was so successful in his campaign for President?

“O’Bozo” and HIS biased, unworkable, BS policies, malevolent rhetoric and deliberate divisiveness positively took every obstacle out of Trump’s path to the WH!!!

ANYONE with Trump’s direct and no nonsense response to all that would have been successful!!
