A Virginia Commonwealth University professor called for deplatforming right-leaning media figures and influencers to “disrupt capitalism.”
Podcaster and blogger Dr. Karlyn Borysenko went undercover to report on the Male Supremacism Studies Conference.
Dr. Kay Coghill, during a conversation at the conference, advocated for silencing those who hold conservative or Republican views.

This is the voice of the far left in the United States RIGHT NOW. They live in your blind spot. You're not paying attention to them. They are growing in numbers. They are continuing to build on strategies that are putting them in positions of control over foundational elements of our society from which vantage point they aim to extend a tyrannical level of control over you. That is what they want. At a very minimum they want you controlled. Tightly. In the extreme, they want you dead.
For the most part, however, you, the entirety of the GOP, Conservatism in general, and the vast majority of American society are completely dismissive of them; flippantly pooh-poohing their overt declarations as to their orientation towards free society, and their intent to destroy it
Ignoring these people as fringe lunatics isn't a strategy; it's a death sentence. Like ignoring gangrene, ignoring the far left is ignoring an -- perhaps THE DOMINANT -- existential threat to this nation, and to the entire Free World.
The political right -- Conservatives foremost, but the sleepy-headed GOP more generally -- is not mobilized at anything like the level this hive-mind of wannabe tyrants is mobilized.
That is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS position to be in.
Sporadically, in the very most red of red regions, we have seen bands of patriots hit the streets to rebuke agents of the far left; disrupting, and dispersing their paid drones with their pre-printed signs.
Why?
Hosea 4:6 - "My people are destroyed for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE..."
Different context. Identical mechanism.
WHAT MUST WE DO?
STOP DISMISSING THESE PEOPLE AS IGNORABLE! STUDY them enough to know what they're really up to. EXPOSE THEIR EXTREMISM AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY! Let the naked tyranny they espouse with their own mouths stand in the Public Square for all to see that it may condemn them.
Look... They want you gone! They want your family gone! They want everyone who thinks like you gone! They want your church gone! They prefer that "gone" means "dead," but if it just means you're in some gulag, or hiding alone in a cave in Appalachia, they're not that picky.
IT'S HIGH TIME TO ENGAGE IN AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN OF OPPOSITION, AND THAT BEGINS WITH EXPOSURE.
I'm launching this salvo right here.
Now you take the next step pulling back the curtain on this mob among those you know.
Passivity is doom. Silence is death.
The party of tolerance, as long as you toe the party line.
The article wasn’t very clear on the organization of this conference - but I’m quite sure that ultimately, government / taxpayers paid for this marxist struggle session.
To the left “democracy” is when their boot is on your neck.
If they get you de-platformed, it’s somehow some sort of free exercise of civil activism, at most.
If you get someone deplatofrmed, it’s “fascism”.
I’m a U.S. Male...
If you’re looking for trouble, look right in my face...
Sounds like green light for fraud of $24999.
Down with the Matriarchy! LOL!
I have explained to many Liberals in MA that, as a Conservative, I really just want to be left alone. I’ll leave them alone, if they leave me alone. That’s usually when they start yelling and calling me a Nazi.
Old-time liberals got a lot wrong, mainly due to naivety. But they were usually decent enough people.
Modern liberals are either Stalinist, or drifting in that direction.
One reason that’s happening is because the left no longer allows healthy criticism of their beliefs. Try it, and you’ll be labeled a racist, a hater, etc.
“I spent my whole career doing deplatforming. It’s like the core strategy we do,... [b]ut even I’m getting more and more skeptical of it because they have their own platforms and … it’s very hard to control them.” — Patrick Hermansson
The thing about socialist and fascists, or just left wing nuts in general, is that sooner or later they want censorship. They don’t want the truth ever told, because what they claim and what really happens are two different things that become grossly obvious after they take over. To me, there is VERY little difference between the Socialists and the Fascists, because they end up doing the same things.
Matthew 7:16 and Matthew 7:20. You will know them by their fruit.
As I read what you wrote, I can’t help thinking of the $h!+head freepers who defended Facebook/YouTube/Instagram/etc.’s deplatforming of conservatives on the grounds that it’s free speech and free association. Even if we didn’t find out it was being coordinated by the government, their position is both convenient for our enemies and absolutely ignorant of the way those platforms work and the way they’ve been created in a regulatory environment.
But how is “deplatforming” not racketeering? Since when is it OK to say, “deny access to public accomodation for these people, or we’re going to do everything we can to put you out of business?”

It's funny how they define things.
Leftist "diversity" is an all-black college, or an "all gay" city council. "Uniformity in diversity," I guess.
Sue them for RICO, if I’m not plain enough. Also, there’s this: Suppose you buy nails from a hardware store and build a wedding venue that caters or doesn’t cater to someone the hardware store likes or doesn’t like. He has no right to take back those nails so that your wedding venue collapses. That’s what deplatforming is like. When a person uses YouTube or Facebook as a key part of their business model, what they have invested in is access to YouTube or Facebook customers. If YouTube or Facebook denies them the fruits of their investment, that’s deeper than just deciding not to continue to doing business; that’s becoming liable for all the costs that have gone into creating the business that relies on YouTube or Facebook.
It’s probably a legal struggle above my paygrade to analyze whether internet regulations have absolved those businesses of that liability, but from the point of view of libertarianism purism, it makes a mockery of the claim that this is free association or free expression of YouTube/Facebook/Instagram, etc. Their very business model relies on their own assertion that what they provide is not their own expression or their own association.
Imagine the extremes:
A military comprised ONLY of women. Would they ever win a war?
A congress or government comprise only of women. Would they ever get anything of substance done?
got that right. “bootnecking is a hallmark of the left”.
