    I sense that another Oklahoma City is in America's not-too-distant future. not hoping of course, just sensing that things are getting out of control and a nutter/collection of nutters will eventually act out in a big way. oh, and it won't be a government building.

    That's right. Congress will now have to get involved.

    Violent groups like Antifa are inviting it. If the Russians intended to disrupt American society they've certainly succeeded. The left is now out of control and Americans will want their country back.

    Timothy McVeigh and those like him were angry about Waco and Ruby Ridge. Child's play, comparatively.

    Why hasn't Twitter suspended Antifa accounts ? -> https://twitter.com/antifausa?lang=en

    Twitter even goes further allowing Antifa to block fake Antifa Twitter accounts. -> https://twitter.com/antifachecker?lang=en

    CNN reports a whole lot of fake news, why aren't all CNN activist (wannabe journalist) Twitter accounts not suspended ?

    Maxine Waters spews a whole lot of hate and calls for violence, why hasn't her Twitter account been suspended ? -> https://twitter.com/maxinewaters

    I thought that banning Alex Jones was a bit much. He's a crackpot, and a frequently malicous and nearly always dishonest one. But right wing media bristles with guys like him. So what?

    But the Proud Boys are a violent white supremacist group. Essentially domestic terrorists.

    If you're going to shed tears for people like this, you may wish to consider the reflection it makes.

    BTW, Twitter and the rest are private businesses. They are under no obligation to give space to anyone they choose not to.

    Another thing, an almost certain thing... and definitely a good thing... new content sharing and social media platforms will arise. All this discriminatory silencing of conservatives is pointless, but youtube, facebook, twitter, etc can waste their time if they'd like.

    The Proud Boys will have to go underground with their propaganda like ISIS did. To an extent they already do a lot of that.

    What violent actions has Proud Boys committed during their less than two years existence ?

    Have they ever destroyed private or public property or called for the killing of cops ?

    A group of Proud Boys members stepped up and defended Houston communities from looting.

    Proud Boys seems to be more of an anti-political correctness organization. Basically anti radical socialist and anti anarchist.

    [​IMG]
    The Time For Apologies Is Past

    I Am A Western Chauvinist And I Refuse To Apologize For Creating The Modern World.

    The West is the Best!

    The basic tenet of the group is that we are “Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.” Like Archie Bunker, we long for the days when “girls were girls and men were men.” This wasn’t controversial even twenty years ago, but being proud of Western culture today is like being a crippled, black, lesbian communist in 1953.

    The group started in the fall after congregating on Compound Media and laughing at the politically correct culture they insist we take seriously. What began as a few fans in a bar across the street from the studio singing “Proud of Your Boy” and laughing at the reparations videos of Gazi Kodzo soon became a bona fide men’s club with rituals, traditions, and even its own in-house court called “The Sharia.”


    The Proud Boys confuse the media because the group is anti-SJW without being alt-right. “Western chauvinist” includes all races, religions, and sexual preferences.

    Check the “Join Us” and “Follow Us” tabs to find a chapter near you or start your own with our help.

    Our group is and will always be MEN ONLY(born with a penis if that wasn’t clear enough for you leftists)! If you are (and were born) a woman and you would like to be involved, there is a girls group. They call themselves Proud Boys’ Girls and they’re our second-biggest demographic.” It may seem counterintuitive that a men-only group would have such a big female following, but nobody wants men to be men more than the women who depend on them. “Proud Boys saved my marriage,” says PBG Gabriela Finch. “I was completely done with it, but he won me back and fought hard for it.” This group is full of all kinds of women. Wives, girlfriends and single girls are all welcome. Just like the mens group, the girls have no other requirements about race, religion or sexual preference.

    The fact that this group has exploded so quickly is a testament to how completely finished young American men and women are with apology culture. Men have tried being ashamed of themselves and accepting blame for slavery, the wage gap, ableism, and some ***-bashing that went on two generations ago, but it didn’t work. So they’re going with their gut and indulging in the natural pride that comes from being part of the greatest culture in the world. It’s very freeing to finally admit the West is the best. That’s because it’s the truth.

    I dont have an issue with this. Free speech is a right not to be infringed upon by government. Private entities can censor whatever they want. If conservatives are outraged, they can simply discontinue service. Whining about known leftist entities being leftist is bullshit. This is not a time to demand government intervention, it is the time to demand private innovation. Quit using facebook. Create rightbook or better yet create universe book (reddit) which allows anyone to be anyone in their own space. Freedom of expression is not imposed on private business for a reason. The free market is a self balancing neutral force. Make twitter and facebook leftist niche. You have the power to say "**** you". You are being lazy for convenience. They will eventually ban Trump for violation of TOS. I should have left this site when they banned Don Glock. I am guilty of that I accuse you of. Its a place I like that is convenient... but I also believe he was a casualty of a war that truly aims, imperfectly, to be neutral. There is no neutrality to these sites, and eventually I will be shown to be correct when the Presidents twitter account is shut down. This technology is not difficult to replicate. **** em they cant take a joke.

    This isn't about FaceBook but Twtter who allows the radical leftist hate group the SPLC to decide who can have a Twitter account and who can't.

    https://twitter.com/proudboysusa?lang=en

    Now FaceBook who sold Russia advertising space so Russia could meddle in our 2016 Presidential elections.
    And without FaceBook, no Russian fake news outlet that the left ate the bait, hook line and sinker.

    But Democrats in Congress gave Zuckerberg and FaceBook a complete pass !!!

    FaceBook has been deleting accounts of conservatives longer than Twitter has.

    Karma

    Gavin McInnis, who I have seen in many interviews, is not a racist. He is the founder of the group. I have yet to see a racist act by them.

    Just because Leftists lie and claim a group to be racist, doesn't make it so.

    Balkanization is never a good thing, but you're right, the commies' ramped-up affinity for censoring their ideological foes will very likely prompt the rise of new entries into the Social Media game....

    which will start a troll war...

    which will spill out onto the streets...

    and nothing will have been solved.

    Here's what it comes down too, Facebook and Twitter allows a radical left wing hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center ( SPLC) to decide whos accounts should be suspended.

    Even Google is in collusion with the hate group the SPLC.

    Just yesterday...

    The first time I herd of the Proud Boys was about a month ago but not on the news but from one of Antifa allies "Defend Boyle Heights" a radical leftist racist hate group ( KEEPTHE BARRIO BROWN) who were protesting against non brown people having businesses in Boyle Height (L.A.) ->

    These radical leftist don't want any Jewish owned businesses in their neighborhoods.

    If you read some of the post on there FaceBook page you'll see the mentioning of Proud Boys.

    The first time I ever heard of the Proud Boys.
