Interesting, no? Go ahead and post the image of a noose and see what happens to you. But we are in a time period that being murderously Anti Cop is well seen and approved.

The point I want to make is that it is  not fruitful to complain anymore but you can still make headways by simply adapting and changing how you use Facebook and other restrictive social media.

I always like to use Paypal as example. The company was one of the first to restrict its use for the transaction of firearms and they blocked countless purchases if you all remember. And I know a lot of you do not use Paypal on principles, but many do because you have learned to “live” under those rules without denying yourselves of the advantage. And I can’t think of the billions that Paypal has lost by marrying the wrong side of the Gun argument.

So, we need to stop bitching to Facebook about pics like the one above and figure out what to do. I can’t tell you what is best for you, I can’t say if you should remove yourself from all platforms, some, be grey and not call attention or what. Your millage may vary.

All I know it is time to switch tactics. Beating our head against the corporate wall is not the solution.

  1. Leftism is a dark ages religion. We try to think about it rationally so we don’t get it. How much money did Hollywood lose making anti-American, anti-military, anti-war movies during the Bush years? Every movie flopped. If you think about is as a business, it makes no sense. If you think about it as Hollywood Leftists paying to prosthelytize Red America it makes more sense.

    These tech companies don’t care how much more money they could make by being nice to us because they hate us.

    Think about this. If the Palestinians spent one year not attacking Israel and putting all their foreign aid and effort into fixing their lands they would be a thousand times better off than they are now. Instead they just continue to live in squalor and murder Jews.

    That’s the mentality the Left has. They’d rather hate and attack us then make larger profits.

  2. Ben Smith at the New York Times wrote today that Facebook publishes right wing propaganda as part of a deal with DJT.

    Dan Bernstein at Sporting News wrote today that One America News (OAN) is a “far-right media organization.”

    Leftists have gone off the deep end now, with them it has become all lies all the time.

    1. To a shocking number of Leftist propagandists journalists, anyone less-Left than Lenin and Stalin is “far-right”.

      It’s one of the few advantages our side has: the proclivity to out-Left each other makes it easy to identify and ridicule all the “useful idiots”.

  3. Re-submit the same picture with a nametag saying Facebook Community Standards and a big facebook logo on the shirt.

    See what response you get when their ox is being gored.

  4. gab.com. It’s a free speech alternative. I’ve been on there for about a week now. I’m perfectly happy supporting a ‘right wing’ alternative to the silicon valley leftist crap that everyone seems to think you need to use.

  5. One of the first things to understand is every single thing you do on facebook helps make them money. They take every action, every like, skip, read, even complaints. All of it. They collect it all, slice and dice a thousand ways, and sell it to anyone that is trying to influence people. Advertisers, game makers, politicians, political parties, countries. Doesn’t matter. They sell you and your relationships to people who want to influence you and yours. They don’t care in the slightest about your opinion, you are still making them money. The controversies just make them _more_ money. They will not change their behavior unless substantial numbers of people leave. Hate the drug and the dealer all you like, nothing changes if you keep using. And they well know it.

Only one rule: Don't be a dick.
