WaPo describes Louis Farrakhan as a 'far right leader' in story about Facebook censorship

Facebook is back in business suppressing conservative voices, and the Washington Post is back in business as identifying everything bad as conservative. At least the WaPo reversed itself, while Facebook persists.

First, the ridiculous story from the WaPo (hat tip: Breitbart)

Far-right leader Louis Farrakhan? pic.twitter.com/XDId73kesx
After considerable laughter at its expense, Bezos's P.R. operation relented:

We have deleted this tweet because it incorrectly included Louis Farrakhan, who has espoused anti-Semitic views, in a list of far-right leaders. Facebook banned extremist figures including Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos for being "dangerous" https://t.co/iCI8pzK6aR pic.twitter.com/m87t1fglrZ — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 2, 2019

Meanwhile, equating Louis Farrakhan, who stokes hatred against Jews, "a gutter religion," and whites ("white devils"), with Milo Yiannopoulos is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous: banning mainstream conservative Paul Joseph Watson:

Reports are true.

I have been banned by Facebook.

Was given no reason. I broke none of their rules.

In an authoritarian society controlled by a handful of Silicon Valley giants, all dissent must be purged.

Facebook offers no explanation.

This is crazy. They just banned someone who has never broken any of their rules or violated their terms of service in any way. This is political censorship, straight up. https://t.co/E7S0Wx9C01 — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) May 2, 2019

From the same people who think boys with that plumbing are girls, and girls with that plumbing are men.

From the same people who think same sex relationships should rank equal with heterosexual relationships that perpetuate the species.

From the same people who want male trannies in the restrooms with our little girls.

Louis is as close to being a Conservative as Hillary is to being a good human being.

Fu^*book, Google and Twatter need to be regulated as public utilities, or else broken up. Standard Oil was broken up into 34 companies in 1911, which was brought about by a suit under the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1906 - when it controlled about 70% of the market for refined petroleum products. WELL, the aforementioned tech companies control a LOT more than 70% of their respective markets...and are thus akin to public utilities. They should either ACT like a public utility (i.e. with some regulations, including those necessary to afford continued access to ALL), or be broken up into a dozen or more competing companies EACH.

Screw these companies - they are utilizing their enormous market power to suppress the very free speech that made the creation and success of their companies possible. BREAK THEM UP!!!

Astonishing and astounding. Calypso Louie is “far-right”? In what Universe?

Let us do a little simple correlation.

Louis Farrakhan is a noted anti-Semite. Adolf Hitler was also a noted anti-Semite, but he went a LOT further than Calypso Louie ever has, but that is only because he had the weight and opinion of a modern industrial nation at his disposal. Hitler was only considered to be “right-wing” in a universe that embraced Soviet Communism, but the name of his political apparatus was the National Socialist German Workingmen’s Party, most often abbreviated as “Nazi”. Note very carefully the inclusion of “Socialist” in that designation, it was much more important than merely “national”.

Now, “Minister” Louis Farrakhan, preaching his unusual synthesis of Black Liberation Theology and Islam, pursues many of these same doctrines of socialism and the exaltation of the “common man”, which puts him in about the same part of the spectrum as the Third Reich. But, as noted above, neither the Nazi ideology, nor the Black Liberation Theology are in any way, shape, form or manner to be considered “right-wing”.

Islam, in and of itself, is a crude form of socialist ideology, and only dons the trappings of “religion” when it is important to pull themselves up on a parity with the “ethical” religions, i.e., Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, or Christianity. When Hitler wrote “Mein Kampf”, he incorporated many of the jewels of “wisdom” found in the Koran, and Muslims everywhere found much to like in the words of “Mein Kampf”.
