    If the same standards were applied to CNN and MSNBC they'd be off the air.

    The biggest problem that I have with the internet, is that there is a great deal of false information. It is why I still have books on my bookcase shelves. Prager University has a big presence on YouTube, but most of what they have is garbage that can't be supported with real facts. I can see why conservatives are upset about this. It interrupts their misinformation campaigns.

    Thank you. To be honest, MRAs and MGTOWs do not have resources to set up Alternative Media.

    But censorship effects a very wide range of interest groups, and these groups combined have more then enough resources. These groups have nothing in common except for being persecuted by the Left.

    For instance, I have no common interest with those who oppose illegal immigration. But now, all exiles from Social Media will pool their resources to create Alternative Media.

    Given that half Republicans and 26% of all Americans view Mainstream Media as The Enemy of the People , Alternative Media should succeed.

    Of course you know that it is not true. I actually like myself quite a bit and I am quite white and very male. It turns out that most conservatives aren't all that White. In fact, of those who call themselves white, it is the blue eyed blondes that are more likely to be liberal and brown eyed brunettes more likely to be conservatives. It may be a genetic disposition as northern Europeans, who tend to be blue eyed blondes tend to more liberal than their brown eyed brunette neighbors to the south.

    This is why the British don't like Trump either.

    :roflol:obsessed with identity politics much?

    Do you deny Democrats say things like its their job to tell white people to shut their mouths, and Democrats clap and cheer when they hear it?

    Of those that call mainstream media "the enemy of the people" I think are the true enemies of the people. Do you know who most despises the mainstream media most? Those with a false narrative to tell.

    Democrats have a long tradition of Identity Politics and Group Guilt.

    Democrats supported Slavery. Democratic presidents played key role in Vietnam War and Korean War.

    I think that you are trying to express things that are quite contrary to reality.

    Republicans have a short history of claiming Democrats have a long history identity politics. It started in response to criticisms of overt Republican racism. Can't defend the racism, just pretend everyone is into it.

    Lyndon Johnson was perhaps our greatest president. He gave us Medicare and Medicaid, cut poverty in half, greatly expanded voting and civil rights, and greatly expanded environmental protections. He killed the Jim Crow laws and put a spotlight on the corrupt voting practices of the South. It was Johnson who ran the old racists out of the Democratic Party and into the welcoming arms of the Republicans.

    If you want to see what kind of people Democrats really are, next time you hear one rant about "white people", change "white people" to "jews" and reread. Suddenly they sound like or worse then Hitler.

    Everything. They are a misinformation organization. Ever hear someone going about how, say business works, or science, and they are totally unaware of how ignorant they sound, even thought they are quite cocksure that they are correct. They get their expertise from places like Prager. I have no idea why anyone would want to acquire false information, oh wait, I'm on a forum full of conservatives. Oh I almost forgot, as long as it agrees with what one already believe. Wouldn't want to say anything that throws one out of their belief system.

    So, pro-life sites will be banned and pro-abortion sites will not be banned. Got it!

    2. PERSONAL ATTACKS AND INSULTS

    Personal attacks and insults are not tolerated here. When replying to a post, your own post must be about the post to which you are replying, not the poster themselves. Any personal remark about another poster that - in the judgment of a moderator or administrator - could reasonably be regarded as an intentional insult in the context of that discussion will be subject to infraction. Please also keep in mind that simply saying something that's not very nice is not necessarily an insult, nor does the fact that you are offended necessarily mean that you have been insulted.

    The rules regarding personal attacks extend not only to individual posters, but to groups as well. For example, calling all Republicans idiots is the same as calling every Republican on the board an idiot, and will not be tolerated. A certain amount of latitude may be granted in discussing the policies and the practices of a political party or other political organization, but posters should be advised that this is thin ice, and be cautious about making remarks that personally insult the members of such parties or organizations. And again, simply saying, "I hate Republicans" does not constitute an attack or an insult against Republicans. "I hate Republicans because they are corrupt" is an attack, because it is attacking the character of all Republicans.

    Actually, in my experience right wingers do that more often. I was recently banned from a chat in which I mentioned that Trump has been called 666. The chat McCarthyites didn't like it and banned me.

    Interesting how you post a link to a news item re YT's action and all we see are attacks on Democrats by the far right.


    Rule 5. TROLLING OR DERAILING A DISCUSSION

    If you don't want to discuss the topic, stay out of the thread. Posts that are, in the judgment of moderators or administrators, intended to disrupt a discussion rather than actually contribute to it will be considered trolling.

    Sounds good.

    As long as they get rid of the Ridiculous RW Tinfoil Hat BS Sites, I don't care who else gets caught up in it.

    The RW BS Sites need to be eradicated.

    There is always the chance that these RW BS sites might (actually) be taken seriously and spur on some RW Extremist Violence.

    Great move by Youtube.
