Antifa, leftists get censored by social media platforms
One America News ^ | January 27, 2021

Posted on 01/27/2021 9:42:05 AM PST by Navy Patriot

After months of cheering on the systematic censorship of conservative voices on social media, some leftist accounts are now feeling the sting of Big Tech’s bite.

In the past week, Facebook and Twitter have suspended the accounts of several prominent leftist groups. This includes socialist student organizations and the notorious radical left-wing organization Antifa, which President Trump moved to designate as a terrorist organization during his time in office.

Twitter reportedly removed at least four Antifa accounts from its platform, each with a following of more than 70,000. The suspensions are rumored to be the consequence of violent riots that erupted in Portland, where Antifa radicals attacked the Democrat Party’s state headquarters following Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Social Media is Big Brother and Speaks DoubleSpeak rather than English, while Winston Smith and Clones Disappear History and No longer Useful Idiots.

Don’t buy into the propaganda.

They shut down a dozen leftist sites while shutting down tens of thousands of conservative ones.

But see? They’re impartial...

They will be back with a new account in 5 minutes and the platforms will allow the same behavior.

Antifa was useful when their violence could be blamed on the fact that there was an America first patriot occupying the White House. Now that he’s out, and a communist is in that place, Antifa violence is no longer welcome. So now Facebook and Twitter are banning them.

I wonder how much Antifa used those platforms to plan the events of Jan. 6? Or did they rely on the dark web?

Not only that. The ONE reason why is because they attacked a DEM HQ in Portland. If they burned down a police station or orphanage full of kids, Twatter will still allow these pukes to post.

So, are the latter-day brownshirts gonna go peacefully protest at the corporate headquarters of Fitter/Tacebook?

Seems that is their MO, or is there no profit in it?

Their purpose was to help the Democrats steal the election. Now they are a threat to the Left’s power.

No “communist” ever bets into power without suddenly becoming a Soviet/Fascist.

Meh. Too little, too late.

They’re only doing it so that during the next election they can say they did.

What about (B)elligerent (L)ice (M)ilitary?

Over I believe in the Netherlands there has been a fair fury of protests over new lockdown orders, and from what I’ve read, it was the work of predominantly Muslim ‘immigrants’ (conquerors) that raised the loudest battle cry. Because of the closing of mosques, they in turn looted, burned, and destroyed buildings and stores.

These people referred to themselves as BLM. Hm?

Now that the riots have served their purpose they are no longer needed. The Democrat money from the top will disappear. ActBlue will tell BLM the money isn’t coming in anymore. Then all these activists will slowly figure out while they won, they won nothing. Just like Occupy Wall street, the anti-Iraq war movement, and Cindy Sheehan before them.

Ignored by useful idiots forever is that after those in power do a leftist take over, the useful idiots are now either deemed useless or a threat to their power. In some cases the new rulers treat their friends worse than their enemies. History continually shows us those new power drunk “leaders” executing or imprisoning some of their closest supporters.

I expect the next move will be the CCP/Biden orders federal troops to attack antifa and take them down.

It would seem to be quite clear though...they’re taking orders directly from D’s. The useful idiots have been used...now need to be shut up.

And the MSM will suddenly have to change the narrative 180 degrees to how stopping them is a now a good thing.
