Why are people so frightened of words?

If I had asked each and every one of you....10 years ago...if you'd want to live in this country knowing that if you didn't think and speak and act in a way a certain segment of the population says you should think and speak and act...and if you don't, not only will you lose the ability to speak and act on certain online platforms...but you'll also lose your job and your ability to provide for yourself and your family...each and every one of you would have responded HELL NO.

But...this is what we have now. And many of the people who would have said HELL NO 10 years ago, are now openly embracing such a country.

Enjoy.

In another post you said except Tom of course, here you should have said except me. I would have started talking about the Bilderberg Group, what do you think these platforms are owned by poor boys? Back then I would have railed against the CFR and the old codger in Europe who gets his ring kissed by everyone in the United States who is anyone.

BREAKING: Apple is currently threatening to ban Parler -- the free speech alternative to Twitter -- unless the service enacts draconian censorship policies demanded by left-wing Big Tech oligarchs, according to two sources familiar with Apple's threats.

Hell, if you'd told me ten years ago that men could someday follow little girls into women's restrooms legally, I'd said you were nuts.

I use both Windows and Apple and don't use twitter or facebook but I would definitely think twice about buying their products if something like that would happen, even if I am not likely to use Parler. Just a way of protesting.

Interesting. How would they actually accomplish that?

Totally agree..... It's not about left or right to me. Its ABOUT FREE SPEECH!

You see, there can be no opposition or it will be suppressed! Funny how the left screams about voter suppression but wishes to suppress free speech!

You don’t need to use an app to access a social network. Any browser will work. Plus you can browse anonymously.

OK, then their web host/domain registrar will just kick them off or delist them from the internet. It's happened before. And I guarantee it will happen to Parler eventually...not that I care anymore...this is what people want...this is what people get.

I am sure there are several ways to get around it....but thats NOT the point....

Wasn't it the Nazi's, N Korea, China, who BAN ALL OPPOSITION????

I mean Kim Jung seems like a nice guy and all but to win with 100% of the vote.....
