Vivek Ramaswamy violated the “hate speech,” “misinformation,” and “violence” policy on LinkedIn, which is owned by Microsoft Corporation.
Vivek, as you know, is a hateful White Supremacist with a history of unhinged ranting and violent threats to everybody. He wields machetes (oops, no, that is a college professor), calls for violent protests in the streets (oops, no, that is Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal), rants about chasing public officials out of restaurants and all public spaces (oops, no, that is Congresswoman Maxine Waters), and holds speakers at colleges hostage (oops, no, that is the woke college students in San Francisco).
Well, anyway. Maybe he didn’t do anything that bad, but clearly, he must have done something really awful to get booted from LinkedIn, right?
Let’s hear from the man himself, who explains exactly what hateful conduct Microsoft objected to.
It turns out that Vivek criticized Biden’s policies on China, how China is using woke ideology to ruin America, and that Climate change activists are wrong.
That sure sounds like violence to me. Hateful misinformation. He MUST BE SILENCED for the good of The State.
Now I am a rather naive guy, so I never realized that objecting to Chinese communist policies was violent hate speech. I didn’t even know that criticizing the shifting of oil production from the United States to Russia was something so offensive that it must be silenced.
I guess I have to update my definition of hate speech. Maybe it is even literal genocide. How would I know? These definitions are updated all the time to ensure that only the approved people can speak.
I like Vivek, although I haven’t paid much attention to him since I think he is a second-tier candidate, although I suspect he will do better than even Mike Pence in Iowa. He is super-smart, charming, and has an appealing message that will resonate with much of the base. I could easily see him as a potential Vice Presidential candidate, and I suspect that so can he.
I would unhesitatingly vote for him were he the nominee, but I don’t see that happening, and I would, as I have made clear, prefer DeSantis, who I think is fully prepared for the job.
Still, this is a gift to Ramaswamy, since LinkedIn is a niche audience. Not an insignificant one, since almost by definition you are speaking to a monied professional class. But niche. Ramaswamy benefits by being labeled an enemy of some of the worst people in America, and that is a badge of honor for a Republican candidate.
My sense, based upon nothing other than my rather cramped view provided by living on the internet, is that there is a building rage among conservatives directed at the smug, arrogant, tyrannical elite class in America. Years ago they declared unlimited war upon us and our kids, and we basically took the insults.
When Trump got elected he became our Paladin in the battle against them, but that only made them more outrageous and more powerful. Look at what they have done since his election. They are stronger today than ever. When Trump lost, they thought they vanquished us.
They have yet to realize that we are done with having a single champion fight for us. We are rising up as a group and fighting back, and the more they attack, the more conservatives are engaging. Ask Bud Light and Target how they like that.
Still, there is a danger: too many conservatives are fighting each other as well as the Left. I can’t count the number of times that acolytes of one candidate or another forswear voting if their guy doesn’t win.
That is ridiculous. Anybody who forswears voting for the Republican nominee, no matter who wins, is voting for the Democrats to control the country. That is unforgivable. Every abortion, every kid transed, every farm closed, and every kilowatt of power ungenerated will be endorsed by those who sit the election out. When the FBI or IRS comes knocking on an innocent person’s door, it would be the fault of the abstainers with fragile egos.
The choice will be Biden or the Republican. Refusing to vote for the Republican is helping Biden win.
Forget bruised egos. Forget battles over taxes or spending. This is about preserving liberty and saving our civilization.
We need a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and a Republican President in 2025. Anything short of that and the mess gets worse.
Microsoft has done us and Vivek a favor by being so bold and so shameless. If Vivek Ramaswamy is considered a hateful violent man, literally anybody would fit that description. Anybody with a brain can see that. This makes Microsoft look bad, not Ramaswamy.
Microsoft, by the way, asserts that they are all about free speech, and if only Vivek comes back and says that oil is bad, China is good, and Joe Biden is a great president they are happy to have him on their platform.
Whatever.
Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t need LinkedIn, and they will turn out to be a good enemy to have when appealing to Republicans.
I admire Vivek for having the right enemies. He must be on the right track.
Uh, small hint here - did ya ever think they are not actually conservatives, you know CINOs say like that two faced self-dealing traitorous sell-out scum Paul RINO Ryan.
“Vivek Ramaswamy“ is one of those Aryan White Supremacist names. And if I’m not mistaken, it was Hitler’s favorite alias when he was hiding from the Weimar police.
So by all means, cancel Vivek Ramaswamy. His free speech is dangerous. We can’t have that.
“I admire Vivek for having the right enemies. He must be on the right track.”
I think Vivek may well be the person that Trump voters migrate to, if Trump is ‘unavailable’ for 2024, as DeSantis took himself out of the running by showing he’s just a tool of the GOP power brokers.
I’ll start posting some of his videos there so they can cancel me too.
1. VR has no chance of winning the Republican nomination, not being a Christian. There may well be a non-Christian who becomes President at some point in the future, but the first will be a Democrat, not a Republican, for obvious reasons.
2. There are no documented, or even observable ties between the DeSantis campaign and "the RNC establishment" and he is directly refuting this phony claim in his interviews, which you've likely missed. Trump however has a long documented history of endorsing and even employing countless "establishment" names before, after, and while he was President.
He’s definitely an interesting fellow of “the enemy of my enemy is friend” variety.
Vivek seems to be a deeper thinker than RdS and Trump.
LinkedIn is mostly a Facebook for older folks with not much to do at work but chat and snoop acquaintances from the past, while sitting at their desks.
When you listen to Vivek, he sounds more conservative than most conservatives, even more than Trump or DeSantis or Nicky Kaley or Tim Scott, or anybody else in the senate or congress.
Too bad he doesn’t look white or black or like what a conservative should look like. Okay, that sounds very racist, but, it’s true that he won’t be pulling in the number of votes that he should be getting, but, that’s the breaks in America. Heck, Nicky isn’t of the right color either and she’s conservative too.
Perhaps the republican heroes of the future will be lass white and what will matter most is the content of their characters and the content of their beliefs and the content of their politics/policies.
Perhaps it’s the content of his politics and ideology and party membership that got him kicked out of LinkedIn. No member of a minority should ever be republican or conservative, according to those that come from the left-wing of politics.
I think that LinkedIn follows Al Gore’s religion.
Vivek did not kneel down at Al’s altar. Both knees must touch the floor. The head must be inclined at least 45 degrees downward.

Freedom—isn’t it wonderful?
So sad to have to say that but I remember when we were free.
I won’t stop fighting until it’s back.
“VR has no chance of winning the Republican nomination, not being a Christian. “
I can count on one hand the true Christians I have met.
Probably if one day God sent angels visit me and the Homos in my city found out and wanted to “know” them.
If I begged God to find a few true Christians before raining down destruction there is no doubt I would be soon be fleeing and looking for a new home.
I don’t know that it matters anymore, but is Vivek Ramaswamy a natural born citizen?
Mega dittos!
He is my 2nd choice for president.
I like what I see from Vivek so far, he just hasn’t been able to get any traction. Hopefully this controversy will help him.
