Absolutely right. Being right is not enough if we don’t fight to fix what’s wrong.

We need our smartest conservatives thinking about how can we create conservative schools, how can we make conservative movies, how can we start airlines that won’t demand proof of vaccination?.....etc, etc, etc.....Not whining. Acting.

Practically speaking, it’s utterly irrelevant why the left does what it does. The only thing that matters is: What are we going to do about it?

This is a very deep truth - but one which can be very hard for Conservatives (who implicitly reject a "malignant universe" outlook) to accept.

I get “I don’t understand, what are they thinking”? from a friend of mine all the time. As if they are of sound mind and body. It comes down to we the people literally, there is no knight in shining armor coming to save us, the knight in shining armor IS US.

"If I were a billionaire...
Not whining. Acting."

Yeah... me too.

One little catch.

> ...crushing dissent...

Hmmm... freerepublic.com and townhall.com still exist do they not? Last I heard the 5 most popular Youtube pages were held by conservatives (Ben Shapiro et al).

Believing that your opinion is not sufficiently popular is not the same as repression. Why do we have to have this apocalyptic tone?

> Why does Facebook and Twitter censor free speech?

This is a conservative victory, not a defeat. For decades conservative have argued for the primacy of business interests (freely made transactions between free people, remember?) while undermining government’s anti-trust enforcement. Now here we are. Facebook and Twitter are free to run their businesses as they see fit and if you don’t like it you are free not to patronize them.

It really confounds me how often the glass being half full is mistaken for the glass being half empty.

Too hard. Many red states should just secede and form a new nation not aligned with the coastal DC-NY-LA axis of evil.

[palmer]

As long as we keep in mind that the left and the deep state will infiltrate and try to sabotage those efforts. There's no doubt whatsoever that a number of the participants in those new forums are "FBI informants" and leftists promoting illegal acts and violence. That is their job, even if they have to do it themselves, then use those illegal acts to justify further infiltration and provocation.

The enemy is not going to stand still. Even Facebook themselves will do it in order to marginalize and shut down the competition.

Wouldn’t quicker results come from a massive endowment to conservative universities such as Hillsdale? The infrastructure is already in place.

[Pollard]

Why do liberals teach students to hate America? Why do they force children to wear masks? Why does Facebook and Twitter censor free speech?

Because they were trained by or are godless marxists who want global marxism. Their idol was obama the marxist world citizen.

It’s always struck me as weird—and I fully include myself in this—that as a Christian conservative, I understand and agree with the concept that mankind is sinful and broken after the Fall. “Total depravity,” they call it, the concept that man cannot reunite with God without a Savior and through the power of the Spirit. (Roughly. I’m not a theologian.) And yet, we’re always so surprised when people actually *do* depraved things. It’s like we accept the depravity of man in the abstract and the plural, but when we see concrete and singular examples of it, our brains tilt. So we spend a lot of time trying to figure out why someone seems to do broken and insane things—like most leftism—instead of combating it.
