Trump Shuts Down Social Media Because They Won't Conform to Lies

Frankie was right  :hattip

Totally agree.



Its been decided for us all that we have to hate trump...trump is the enemy.



Im not a trump cheerleader , we had heard of him in scotland long before any cant in england had or he had got elected in the states.



I simply find it incredible it doesnt occur to the liberal elite no one actually gives a feck about trump , or many of the things they think we "need " to care about.



I tell you what though mate , you and i have had our wee jousts over many political issues.



....but i take my hat off to you for how much you appear to have totally and utterly upset them over brexit.



You know what i think drives them crazy the most? Its that no one is listening to a word they say.



They cant handle it.

Or Facebook maybe . Its 'supreme court ' which decides what we can and cannot post is  referred  to as  a  left wing enclave with the likes of   Nick Clegg  an ex Guardian  editor and  the former Danish PM , wife of Steven Kinnock  among  its 'judges' .  The company fails miserably in its political balance and like Trump we should be asking ourselves is it social media or socialist media ?

this reminds me of something frankie boyle said a while back...

I find it incredibly worrying that we no longer need to hear the actual content of the thing we're told to be offended by. We hear of people being arrested for tweets without the tweet being reported; comics are blasted for routines that aren't printed; newspapers hire lip-readers to find something to get offended by at the tennis and then print the resulting fuckfest as asterisks.



And who decides whether we should be outraged at something we haven't seen or heard? The press. Our seething collective Id. None of us would trust a journalist to hold our pint while we went to the bathroom, yet we allow them to be ethical arbiters for the entire culture."

Dynamis and his cohorts want us all to be offended by trump/ cummings/johnson/brexit/etc etc , but the fact of the matter is no cant gives a feck.



Trump?



Imagine posting a thread on  a uk forum about a politicians and elected head of a foreign state we cant do anything about or vote out?



As i said before this latest bad news story about trump  , just helps take the brit lefties minds off their constant political drubbings back in the yookay.

Look, I'm no fan of anti-social media, we've given them way too much power with little or no oversight.



People on all sides regularly complain about the handling of various cases, pointing to left wing, right wing bias etc.



But Trump's BS excuse that they're silencing dissent when he wants to do the exact same thing, isn't going to go down well.

Sounds like you are describing Grand Ayatollah Trumpus himself.

Trump is only saying he may close down social media that doesn't allow both sides of the debate .



  Deleting posts that don't conform to the left wing narrative while promoting those that do makes social media a political platform that is neither desired nor wanted I would hope by the general public .

He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.



So Anglo politics fall into mediocrity where lies are meant to be regarded as truths and if the narrative isn't maintained you are shut down. Social media is global so containment won't be far reaching except from the US largest platforms. But it is telling that two nations such as the UK and the US, who founded liberty are today resorting to authoritarianism or lies to maintain the narrative. And I don't think this can be maintained and instead will split the political narrative further.



Heil Trump and Johnson. All men are equal. But some men are more equal than others.
