Someone Needs to Sort Out the Tech Idiots on Censorship
American Thinker.com ^ | January 16, 2018 | Christopher Chantrill

If you are a conservative, it is easy to believe that the tech giants have it in for conservatives. But what if that isn't true? What if the "Googlers" and the Facebookers and the Twittites are just idiots and don't know any better?

I was down in the South Bay Area visiting a young Applite, and it just seemed to me that all these tech guys and the tech H.R. and diversity enforcers are just ordinary mortals, reflexively doing what they think they are supposed to.

After all, unless you were an instinctive contrarian, you would have picked up the default educated-class culture as part of your bums-on-seats progress through high school and college like a fish in water.

And if you ask me, the silly Google Girl, Susan Wojciki, involved in the firing of James Damore sounds like the kind of woman who never has a thought in her head.

So I think the tech higher-ups just think they are doing the lord's work by doing their bit for diversity and inclusion.

The real relationship between politics and government is the gangster relation: nice little business you got here; pity if something should happen to it. Most conservatives don't have a gangster bone in their bodies and really don't want to get in the faces of good honest businessmen.

Problem is, then all the businessmen in America will end up paying protection money only to the Democratic Party, because liberals do care about power and do want to tell business who is boss.

Just do away with all their IP. Let them keep the trademarks and the actual patents on physically engineered items. Do away with algorithm and process IP.

I kind of feel the same way. IP is a very complicated area and I don’t have the expertise to say much. But it does seem to me that tech companies have abused the basic concept.

He’s wrong. This IS their definition of “do no evil”.
Liberals have branded themselves as smart, education, rational , moral, kind, good.
It lets them smear conservatives as stupid, crazy, evil, ignorant.
By their own definition, conservative opinions are hate speech and bad ... so let’s ban it for the public good.

Google can be attacked as a monopoly.

They control over 85% of online ads, a large percentage of content due to their acquisition of Youtube and exclusive arrangement to mind Twitter.

You can go after them for anti-competitive practices like de-platforming Gab.AI, the startup rival to Twitter.
And you can go after them for violation of civil rights, since they’re so large that their “private business” essentially controls the public square.

Donate to Dennis Prager’s lawsuit for such censorship if you want to help.

When I did factory assembly work, I was referred to as a ‘cog in the wheel’. I had NO say in what I made or why.

Today, these ‘tech geniuses’ are not one bit different.

Only a different product. I made parts for air distribution vents we have in our houses.

We no longer teach civics in school. Concepts like integrity, ethics, and honor have been supplanted by ego gratification and group-think. Critical thinking skills are practically nonexistent.

How can we insist on adherence to higher values when they don’t have any?!

Unless conservatives open their sites to communication and provide their own social media, search engines and communication lines, they will lose.

There are a lot of us and the more we support sites like FR and GAB and 4Chan and other sites that are not owned by the leftist media, like One America, the more we will win. The more we expand these sites into a powerful communication tool that is not beholden to leftists, the more powerful we become.

But by being imprisoned in leftist places, like google and fb and Amazon, and twit, and instagram, we strangle our own selves.

Hell carrying leftist listening and tracking devices like Iphone and Droids, put chains on us.

Think I am nuts?
