Why Doesn't Trump Use Gab? (vanity)
Gab ^ | 2/2/19 | Self

Posted on 02/02/2019 12:30:50 PM PST by xenias

Twitter deliberately spreads disinformation on a worldwide scale. It employs manipulative algorithms to suppress opposing views. It decides what stories are important - whether it's a child smiling at an Indian, or a baby-voiced headcase claiming she was almost raped at an imaginary party 40 years ago. It has unprecedented power over the media and which stories are covered.

Why does Trump use a service that is so destructive and so biased against the right? If he left twitter for another service, twitter would lose a lot of its power and influence.

> I’m actually a little terrified by how many replies here are anti-free speech.

Most of the people here who seem to be against free speech are what we would call Fudds in the 2A world. They are kind of stuck in the past where things were safer and more fun. Where FR was a small chummy place. I don’t blame them for feeling that way, but they are probably wrong about a bunch of stuff.

Oh also - let me suggest that you be ANGRY and never TERRIFIED.

Gab isn’t sponsoring genocide. And they cooperate with law enforcement to deal with actual threats (something FB has not done so well at, never mind Twitter).

I think you’re too sensitive about somebody talking about “Jewish Tricks.”

Bowing at the PC altar of anti-anti-”Semitism” is not going to end well.

Dig a little deeper!

I guess Trump doesn’t post on Gab yet because he doesn’t need to! When Twitter bans him, it will get more interesting!

Thanks for the great books man. Have not read anything as memorable since a bunch of C.S. Lewis decades ago and I promote the trilogy often. Hope to see more please!

And non-fiction-wise I am keeping my eyes open for some region of our country to be the place where we actually make a stand. I believe there will be a main region, even though as I think you note it will not be a clean geographical division.

Sorry, there, Sunshine, but anti-Semitism isn’t acceptable no matter how dismissive you want to be of it.

Listen, Sunshine, if you ever grow up you might find what you call ‘legal speech’ has nothing to do with appropriate speech.

Calling for the genocide if Jews is not appropriate speech regardless if it’s legality. Adults understand this.

Gab allowing such childish nonsense is their support of such speech.

Your support of such speech says even more about you. This isn’t about free speech, this is about having American standards.

Oh, piss off. I tried to be friendly with you. You’re too ignorant to waste any more time with you.

I recommend you watch the entire video linked above before defending Gab.

“I tried to be friendly with you”

No, you didn’t.

You wanted to defend anti-Semitism and the
genocide of the Jews as acceptable free speech, and I wouldn’t let you do it unchallenged.

I am an American. I know free speech means being accountable for that speech. I know free speech doesn’t come without challenge or recourse.

> anti-Semitism ... acceptable free speech

WHICH IT IS and MUST BE - LEGALLY!

I don’t engage in it, much, though comments like “Jewish Tricks” - hmm - big deal! Ask a Jew!

And I don’t engage in what Jim Robinson bans, here. It’s his place, and many thanks to him for it.

What a nervous PC creature you seem to be via the screen and keyboard. I don’t $hit my pants when somebody makes an ethnic comments about Jews, and you have me consigning millions of people to the flames. What a knucklehead! Are you a real FReeper or a Sears FReeper?

One problem is that I don’t want to type in any of the terms being discussed, and I don’t want to see what they might result in. Looking at the comments on the video, folks are claiming the same badness is on YT, FB and Twitter. I don’t know! I would think that if Mr. Torba is a big Jew-hater, then he’s a bit Muslim-booster. But I have not seen evidence of that.

If Torba is pushing or tolerating pedo stuff, he will find his ass busted big time, I think.

I’ll keep my eyes open about this. The warning from you carries serious weight.

Thank you. Honored to chat with you sir.

Hey, you’re the one pushing Gab, the home of “lolli-porn” and Jew hate.

Stop the childish hyperbole. It makes you look like a complete fool.

You seem to have few fellating sycophants here, why don't you go and address them?

Yeah, I've seen strong opinions on GAB from other posters on FR. Same MO too - unhinged and accusational when challenged.

There was a poster some months back - 'Perservnando' or some such name, shilling a controlled-opinion website. This guy had a lot of the same reaction toward GAB posters.

No, I'm not supporting child porn or Jew hate by participating on GAB.

I don't think Torba or Monster would put up with any known pedo content, and if you're so thin skinned that a crudely drawn anti-semetic cartoon or idiotic comment hurts you, you're in the wrong hobby.

IMHO, there's a second agenda behind these rants, or a very poorly developed way of winning friends and influencing people.
