Only woke speech is acceptable, all opposing ideas are racist.

Anyone reading this post would have no idea why Farage was making this comparison. In 2001 the Taliban dynamited the internationally protected Buddhas of Bamyan that were carved in to a cliff in Afghanistan. These were priceless cultural artwork that were created in 507 CE. To the Taliban they were immoral icons.

Seems about right. The first time I heard about the taliban, they were blowing up the giant Buddha statues.

Farage faced a storm of backlash after tweeting about protesters
/

Here is the problem. The media, even FNC, and people here, use Twitter reactions and call it “Furious backlash” and “Outrage” when Twitter is bots, trolls, and left wing activists. It’s not a platform for conservatives. Might as well run stories about how OUTRAGED Salon, Buzzfeed and HuffPo readers were because THAT is the majority audience/participants of Twitter.
Yet they dominated ALL political conversation in this country and have huge celebrities, politicians and companies bowing to whatever those on Twitter are OUTRAGED about today.
Simpletons.

Unfortunately this Taliban mindset has taken on a life of its own throughout the world with no effective resistance at all. Incredible to watch.

btw what purchasing power does the user of Twitter have?
Other than screaming about how outraged they are what influence do they have? I always here about “influencers” yet they were just as vile about Trump in 2016, and?
Some power and influence.

Stop reporting on Twitter reactions and giving them unearned power to control our speech.

It’s a cult.

Turning on family, no criticism allowed.

Wiping out the culture they vanquish, destroying its statues and monuments... yep, pretty accurate description. Oh, I hope he doesn’t apologize. I’m so sick of people apologizing.

Of course, we have to admit, we'd have all been better off if he had not done that. The Africans, us, everyone.

If the rage mob asks you, “do Black Lives Matter?”
Wrong answers include:
1. Yes, but all lives matter.
2. Yes, but I don’t support the hate group known as “Black Lives Matter”.

BBC celebrating:

11 Jun: BBC: Nigel Farage leaves radio station LBC
Nigel Farage is to leave his talk show on LBC radio with “immediate effect”, the station confirmed on Thursday.
The station thanked the Brexit Party leader for his “enormous contribution”.

The Nigel Farage Show aired five days a week. On Wednesday, he told listeners he would be back as usual on Thursday, but the schedule has now been changed.
“Nigel Farage’s contract with LBC is up very shortly and, following discussions with him, Nigel is stepping down from LBC with immediate effect,” LBC said...

On Wednesday’s show he signed off with the words: “I’m back tomorrow at six,” suggesting his contract situation accelerated in the last 24 hours.
Apparently responding to the news, fellow presenter James O’Brien tweeted: “We got our station back.”...
As former Ukip leader, Farage was influential in gathering momentum for the campaign to leave the EU.

This week the 56-year-old compared Black Lives Matters protestors to the Taliban, for demolishing statues of slaves traders.
His departure comes after the station’s owners Global Radio were criticised by some presenters over its response to the protests, following the death of George Floyd.
A Global spokesperson told the BBC the company had taken “several steps in recent days” to improve its inclusivity, “including the formation of a BAME committee”...
“Like a lot of businesses, we are honest enough to say that we are still finding our feet and learning fast.”

keep in mind FakeWorldMSM is framing the riots as a massive grassroots uprising.
