I guess fiscal responsibility is a “dog whistle”

If all they hear are dog whistles, then how are they any different than dogs?

The real hilarious one is when they say "X is a racist dog whistle". That means if you're hearing it, you're a racist you dimwit.

I said this to someone I knew back in college the other day on Facebook. "That's a dog whistle" and my exact response was: "Then why are you the only one in this discussion hearing it?" I didn't get a response.

I've gotten decent at arguing from their point of view. See, they can hear the racist dog whistles, not because they're racist/dogs, but because they are highly trained and empathetic. They're basically superheroes, actually, always trying to protect others. Their superpowers let them hear things that other non-dogs/racists couldn't hear.

They've put in the emotional labor to be able to train these superpowers, because they care about others.

You fucking racist. /s

Its blocking his father Ron Paul if I'm reading that right. Which is even more sad, as he is an ancient man long out of power.

Are they still mad he took support away from Obama but didn't bend the knee like Bernie did when they shot him?

You are. Dude past the torch a while ago. I wonder if they'll ban whomever is running Thomas Sowell's account for "being a fucking coon"?

Are they still mad

How long do you think they targeted Goldwater?

Do they need a reason when they won the Melian dialogue?

They banned Trump no problem. Carpicious and arbitary bans are even easier.

The Melian dialogue can't be one. It's a perpetual and existential threat. It has no end.

Yeah, but Ron Paul literally faded to obscurity multiple elections ago. He didn't even do anything besides splinter the Republican base and get sub 0.1% of the vote. Its almost senseless in that who fucking remembers enough to care about Ron Paul by this point.

The only people who would are his long dormant fanbase, who might actually be awoken by this and cause a small thorn in the Left they all joined after like idiots.

Aw who am I kidding, if they could wake up they wouldn't be Leftists. Randall Munroe is walking proof that "science" can still leave you retarded.

It's certainly senseless, but the Fabians aren't acting sensible anymore. They're not acting Fabian at all. This is just genuine fury and insecurity.

Like, this reminds me of when the Charlottesville protest got shut down and Richard Spencer was going off like a fucking racist Super Villain. That's impotent rage based off of humiliation and insecurity. This whole shit storm is a lot of rage based on humiliation and insecurity, but with much less impotence. The establishment is flailing about like lunatics.

It's the REEE heard round the world.

Deleted my main account some months ago. Just have a blank fake account because certain mobile games can’t get by without it at this point (total bullshit).

This is the way to do it. Better than deleting your account outright, set up fake accounts and poison the well for their advertisers.

People expect you to have an account so not being on there actually raises more red flags.

Fuck those people. I don't give a damn about the expectations of others because nobody has ever shown an ounce of concern about my expectations.

Do you want to create a new world or not?

As a libertarian, has Rand supported the effort to break up tech's power?

If I remember correctly, yes and probably several times, but not by nationalizing the corporations, but by ending the governments special protections and subsidies of them.

Fuck it, I can't help but join the accelerationists in cheering this shit on. The authoritarians won't stop, and people aren't currently organized enough to stop them, so let's just watch this shit lead to its inevitable conclusions.

If Facebook wants to fuck with Ron Paul and the Liberty Report, let's fucking go. Keep going, Big Tech, keep fucking going. Ya bitches.


That said, it is of course worth stating that what Facebook is doing is absolute bullshit, and completely wrong. I do hope they restore Ron Paul's access soon, and he does great work!

They're both going fucking stir-crazy. I'd almost think that Trump would get even more support right now than he currently did.

Tim Pool showed a relatively small poll that suggested Trump's approval rating has gone up since Jan. 6th. If you're the establishment, that's a bad sign.

Practically no one is in favor of what's going on, censorship-wise.

When you say "no one", I assume you mean basically the entirety of the neo-liberal Left, all of the establishment, every bank, school, MSM outlet, and telecom company, and the majority of the populist & socialist Left with the exception of Glen Greenwald.

I mean that practically no one in the USA population is in favor of censorship like what we're seeing.
