"What kind of person sues nuns," I asked in a fervent tone. The answer was Joe Biden.
"I can't stand this creep. Between the sniffing and the suing and deceit - there is nothing worthwhile. He's a completely worthless human being. Trash, decay, scum. He brings with him nothing but sorrow and theft," I ranted on Twitter. I minced no words. This election is not a time for niceties. These socialist sociopaths need to be exposed for what they are, and each of us who has a voice should be using it, loudly, to do so.
Twitter disagreed and decided to suppress my voice. Some leftist with a mute button working for corporate Twitter deemed me in violation of Twitter's "abuse and harassment" policy. Twitter claimed I committed "targeted harassment" by "wishing or hoping someone experiences physical harm." Certainly, Twitter's allegations are entirely inconsistent and completely removed from my words, but I'm not in control of that mute button, and my opinion is inconsequential to Twitter controllers. Twitter demanded I delete the comment and then benched me for seven days after I complied with their demand.
I immediately alerted my Parler followers. "Twitter suspended me for criticizing Biden for suing nuns," I posted. Conservative heavy-hitters like Jack Posobiec, Michelle Malkin, Dan Backer, and Joel Fischer started alerting Twitter's conservative base that my criticism of Joe Biden's plans to sue nuns resulted in a suspension from the platform. The users weren't shocked. Many chimed in with their own stories of suspension on grounds that were entirely incongruent with their actions. My unsubstantiated suspension wasn't an anomaly; it was the norm.
Later that day, The Babylon Bee was suspended for "spamming," though reinstated a few hours later. Other conservative accounts like mine remained suspended. Twitter engaged in a conservative-cleanup effort these last few days, that is for sure.
Conservatives began discussing resolution options. Should Twitter be nationalized? Should we wait for the free market to make its point to Twitter? Should Twitter be regulated as a public utility? Is there a class-action lawsuit in the works? Does Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act need to be amended or does the already impose liability on Twitter? This is an ongoing discussion that was revamped on Monday.
The Post Millennial asked me whether Twitter should be transparent in their political endorsements. I said that Twitter is already transparent. Twitter jumped on the neo-Marxist BLM train immediately and still has not gotten off. Twitter continues to be represented by a black banner and black bird on their user page, indicating simpatico support for BLM, a Marxist group that is rioting in our streets, looting our businesses, burning our cities, and attacking our police officers. Joe Biden supports this group. It's a simple deduction from there where Twitter's political loyalties lie. Twitter's resulting conservative censorship is easily explained by their sociopolitical stances, and their bias is palpable. BLM and the new array of Marxist supporters in leftist politics strongly advocate for harsh suppression of opponents' speech; Twitter simply obliges.
What happened to me and other conservatives like me was "unfair, un-American, and politically biased censorship," in Trump's own words. Though Twitter hasn't shown concern with regulation threats from Trump. If anything, Twitter became more malicious as a result.
So why do we stay on Twitter? The answer is simple: Trump. For as long as Donald Trump continues using Twitter, so will his supporters and the media. If and when Trump decides to shun Twitter and move over to Parler or another substitute, Twitter will fall. Until he makes his move, we're at Twitter's mercy. Twitter remains the judge, the jury, and the executioner.
I wear this suspension proudly, a nice chip on my shoulder. I'm not Catholic, but I have no regrets about defending the Little Sisters from a communist-wannabe tyrant. I would do it again and again and again. This country gave me the greatest gift a country could - freedom. I will be proudly defending my freedom, and yours, with every chance that I get and on any platform that will have me. After all, I'm an American, and that's what we do.
The social media giants are unbelievably biased. I got my most recent 30 day ban for stating that the Democrats were no better than the Jimbob Yeehaws of the Jim Crow south in the way they treated black conservatives. I guess that might be considered a bit inflammatory if you are a leftist but I thought it was a bit unfair when I didn’t use racial slurs or anything that might have legitimately broken the ToS, and considering how regularly I was called racist etc for supporting Brexit and defending Trump and that was considered A-OK they are definately employing a double standard about what is and isn’t considered unacceptably inflammatory.
Trump should stay on Twitter. It he should change how he uses it . . . he should post all his messaging on Parler, but link to it on his Twitter feed. Only links, not content - drive his followers to Parler.
It’s obvious that any twit containing “Trump,” “biden,” “Coronavirus” and many others is flagged for examination. twitter is doing its part to help the dems in the election. I wonder if twitter was created for the purpose of helping dems!
I believe Trump should remain on Twitter until after his reelection. The day after inauguration he should announce on Twitter he is leaving the failed platform and moving over to Parler and by suppling a link invite all of his millions of followers to do the same.
Your move, Mr. President, your move.
Your idea is great but parler will not let you look at anything unless if you are signed in there for parler is a piece of crap
Until parler and lets people look at posts without signing into an account or signing into the website they are just a wanna-be website that’s trying to fleece money out of conservatives. If you really want to take on Twitter than let people read the damn post
You have to sign up for twitter so what the heck is the difference I LOVE Parler!!!
I agree with you. I have signed up on Twitter, but am not using it, and any thing I get from them in my email I put in my Spam Folder
You do not have to sign up for Twitter in order to read with any particular person writes on Twitter. I’m interested in Reading what people have to say but I don’t want to sign up and I don’t want to sign in
You only have to sign up for Twitter if you want to follow someone or to post.
You do not have to sign up in order to READ the posts of a public account. You can’t read someone’s private account without signing up and being approved by them. Trump’s account is public.
And THAT is why I don’t use Parler. You cannot read anything without logging in.
I signed up for Parlor and every time I try to log on, it says the password is wrong or my user name is wrong. I finally deleted it from my phone. Big waste of time. ALso, you think all the gray-hairs are going to leave Twitter and the young folks will leave it when all their friends and families are still on it? Old people want to stay connected to their grandkids and the young ones have friends that they follow. Twitter will remain even if Trump doens’t.
Facebook kicked me off. They did me a big favour.
Having to sign in to read a post just means that parler is not a serious website because if they really wanted to take on Twitter they would try to get traffic on there any way possible. Until they change that policy the site is a fraud in respect to being serious about taking on Twitter
Just a thought, but it’s almost certain that the major social media monopolies, in coordination with each other, are planning a complete blackout of Trump and conservative content, timed for before the election and too late to come up with an effective alternative. This is just the run-up to acclimate the masses to the phony justifications for censorship.
If you are serious about taking on Twitter and the other tech giants, vote STRAIGHT RED this election.
