    If you guys want to help the enemies of America then go right ahead, but at least be man enough to take responsibility. Don't palm it off on someone else, own up to it. Own up to being so obsessed with your own opinions that you will happily let a dictatorship promote them as a way to damage America.

    Of course, there is no chance you ever will. Refusal to take personal responsibility is perhaps the one constant of American Conservatism. No reason to change now.

    I have enough respect for others opinions not to advocate for their censorship by unaccountable billionaires. You don't.
    I have enough knowledge of history to know where censorship always and without exception leads. You don't.

    I haven't advocated anything and you really don't want to go toe to toe with me when it comes to history. I've read your posts, you'd be bringing a butter knife to a nuclear war.

    I don't want your opinions censored. I also don't want to force a private company to promote them if they don't want to. I honestly don't care if conservatives run crying to Xi or Vlad so they can have special places to be racist & plan riots, just don't try to fool yourself or anyone else about what you are hoping for - that America's enemies, regimes that only permit speech that advantages them, are going to help you.

    Anyone who thinks they are clever enough to debate history should understand why that means they don't get to claim they are 'patriots' anymore.

    Amazon is being a very bad and socially irresponsible corporation, and it looks like they are going to start paying a price for that.

    PRICE FIXING: New lawsuit accuses Amazon of e-book price fixing.

    “The lawsuit filed by law firm Hagens Berman in a federal district court in New York, alleges that the publishers pay high commissions and other costs to Amazon, which in turn increases the retail price of e-books sold on the platform. Due to the deal between Amazon and the publishers— HarperCollins Publishers, Hachette Book Group, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan — the Amazon price is the price the publishers charge other retailers as well, preventing other sellers from offering the e-books at lower prices, according to the lawsuit.”​

    Maybe not.

    COLLUSION: The New Cronyism: Big Tech Censors Conservatives – Democrats Deliver Crony Policies.

    How Did Big Tech Get So Big? Massive Government Cronyism

    How now for Big Tech to pay for said cronyism? Acquiesce to the latest Democrat demands.

    Case Law is clear. If Elected politicians coordinate with private actors to censor, the resulting censorship is constitutionally banned violations of the first amendment.

    Democrats Demand Censorship of Conservatives. Democrats publicly demanded that Social Media censor conservatives, and even included threats, if they didn't. This is the public record that cannot be denied.

    Democrats Demand Censorship of Conservatives

    Which is not private companies choosing whom uses its services, it is government’s First Amendment destruction by proxy.

    Big Tech is, of course, THRILLED to ban conservatives. It’s just the next step in their long march against those of us to the right of Karl Marx.

    And, here comes the Copypasta.

    Dems Bad!
    Big Tech Bad!
    Cronyism!
    Censorshipl

    Next time I would suggest that Conservatives get a Jump on Inventing these Big Tech Companies.

    All of this "Censorship" BS boils down to RW Sour Grapes because they didn't invent FB, Twitter, Etc.

    Ya snooze, Ya lose.

    Better luck next time.

    The false schiesthole accusation of a stolen election is of course FOS but it is not a "conservative" issue . It is a Trupeezian lie that is why the courts have "not benefited" , as you said, the Trumpeezians for their rediculously criminally inspired lawsuits.

    That is for the courts to decide.

    Thanks, I did not realize that the Parler suit got tossed. Was Parler playing games? Pun intended.
