The Donald vs Big Tech

I refuse to watch news anymore so hopefully I'll be spared from beholding the incontinent, bloated pig for the duration. That's the main thing, it's all so unpalatable.

Well the mask has certainly slipped

I wonder how he'll explain that one away; he Nazi salutes the crowd and then turns and does it again to the flag. Knowing him he'll probably double down and tell people to stop being snowflakes etc, but I'm just not sure what he was trying to accomplish there. Even if he didn't mean it that way, why on earth do it?

Maybe he's not that bad

I mean I genuinely doubt it was actually a Nazi salute, but it sure was stupid

I was in the kitchen and the trump inauguration was playing live and it cut back to studio. Presenter asked some buck for his opinion on the speech and he goes "Reminds me of the time Father Ted gave a speech for winning the golden cleric award". 

I wait with baited breath to see what he delivers for the little man.

So apparently Meta is blocking certain content that may be construed as being left wing (or anti Trump), just searched #democrat on IG and got a message saying 'We've hidden these search results'.

It's kind of funny reading the first page of this thread and seeing people worried about the 'far left' Facebook, Twitter, even Joe Rogan, using their platforms to influence elections.

Interesting take on it all

Well Facebook did influence the election by censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. It is funny to see all the complaints on here now about Facebook, Twitter etc who are just doing what they have always done which was fine for a lot of people when it benefited their side.

The Facebook thing may not last that long as it is clear Zuckerberg is only doing this as he is worried the Senate hearings will start up again which they hopefully will. Once that starts I am sure he will change his tune and be a media darling once again.

Maybe the media isn't quite as left wing as you think it is? I mean, you considered Zuckerberg and Rogan left wing 5 years ago, have they just done a complete 180...or were they always right leaning and they themselves (along with Musk) have since used their platforms to make full on fascism mainstream.

I suppose the good thing is dudebros can't act like these lads are 'anti-establishment' anymore.

[mickO)))]

5 minutes on any MSM channel across the world will clearly show you which way they lean. As for making fascism mainstream  . The old if you don't agree with me you are a fascist.

I already mentioned in my last post what I suspect Zuckerberg is up to and as for Rogan I have no idea what his intentions are I don't really care either because no doubt they are self serving. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of your post since you had no issue on here when the Hunter Biden laptop was censored and labelled as Russian disinformation. Or the fours years we got from the MSM of Russian collusion and Steele dossier which also turned out to be lies. Lies spread by the media.

One of the richest men in the world just did the Nazi salute, twice, on stage at the inauguration of the US president...how is that not mainstream? 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

In Musk's case it's more the old "if you don't agree with me and you do Nazi salutes and you reply "You have said the actual truth" under bald antisemitic conspiracy theories and you support and amplify not only the AfD and Reform and the Front national but also the most pathetic toilet-bowl scraping racist liars Ireland has to offer too you are a fascist."
