I just want to know why conservatives can’t start their own platforms?

Or comedy shows with Liberalism as the victim of humor. God knows these hypocritical thugs aren’t short on providing plenty to poke fun at.

Because Big Tech shuts them out and shuts them down.

Gab.AI was an alternative to Twitter. Big Tech colluded to kill it. It was banned from the Apple and Android app stores. It was censored and prohibited from Google ads. It was throttled on social media, limiting organic social media marketing.

Freestartr was a free speech alternative to Patreon, while Subscribestar was an existing small crowdfunding site. Their story is a violation of anti-trust and pro-competition laws. Paypal, Chase and Stripe all got together and said you will agree to liberal censorship decisions not to allow payments to go to Pamela Gellar, the founder of Jihad watch and others on our “hate agents list” or you lose payment processing. Subscribestar surrendered. Freestartr refused to go along, had financial services cut off, and died.

That’s systemic oppression, with Big Tech giants and financial processors working together to kill the startups.

It also explains why new conservative alternatives keep getting aborted. They can’t get funding barring things like Brave and Dissenter funded by a tech billionaire. Even MeWe caved and partially gave in to liberal censorship demands recently so they could continue to receive payment processing.
