For me there are things on the left that I support as well as the right. That is why I hate the scale, maybe one way to define it is to have a set of values for the center? But again, it is one of those things that no one can ultimately stand for every center value... I agree that it is a grey area.

@Tom_Servo I agree, and it is still tricky to me. We want private companies to have their own voice, but we don't want them to have the only voice.

or colluding with each other which restricts free market

I am against regulating private companies, I do not want to stop innovation. But I agree that power can get to their heads and if there is a way to have them free without them colluding, I am all ears.

My problem is that you cannot regulate "Bias", because we all have them, you like green I like blue, who decides which is right? If Facebook is left leaning, we cannot control that and we shouldn't be regulating them "to not be left leaning" what we should have is an honest mission from Facebook, describing their values and being open about it. If that is the case, people like Alex Jones knows the platform is not for them. Facebook should NOT be able to come after years of you being on the platform and say, sorry, we have changed and you are no longer welcome here.

My problem with the Alex Jones issue is that all these platform colluded to get him out, I have no problem with him being banned though, but the fact that it was some secret agreement between all these players who frankly should not be concerned about what other platforms are doing.

@Tom_Servo I agree that they are shaping society. At the end of the day that doesnt matter, because we all as individuals have a choice to be on that platform or not. There are alternatives (Maybe not popular) but at the end of the day we have a choice to be on or even contribute to these platforms

Gab?

https://gab.ai/

They are up again because they went to someone that would help them... free market

There is always an alternative in my opinion.

It is complicated, you are right

but not impossible

State and regulation shouldnt be in the same sentence

because again, is blue right or is green right... and I dont want the state to decide that

I agree it is not ideal, but it does open new avenues like Gab... The people will move when they cannot be heard and their followers will follow

Facebook having the right to choose who gets kicked as opposed to being told who to kick are two very different political spectrums

@Tom_Servo I dont think there is an example of a pure free market (Not on a big scale anyway)

They should have the freedom to a political view, but I think they should then be outspoken about it

Again it comes down to choices and our little negotiations in our heads , do I use Facebook or Gab? Facebook gives me reach, but Gab gives me political freedom... We make these choices as individuals and most prefer reach to political freedom for some strange reason

@Jerm, I agree, you will chase someone out your home and that is your right, but you should not be able to fine/arrest someone for offending your fiance

I forgot what it feels like to work since discord

If I didnt know any better I would think you gents were quoting the Kamasutra

"Total turn around", "its going down", "very strong choke hold","im expecting","momentum","shoulder being formed".... hahaha

hahahaha

It is! To be honest, like Jerm said in a tweet earlier, the freemarket will punish speech

🤢

Just cancellations going on with MiWay

This headline from Maroela Media is great: https://maroelamedia.co.za/debat/meningsvormers/miway-baas-klap-afrikaners-en-toe-klap-hulle-terug/

It was just a matter of time

Imagine they spent their time and money on real movements

and "mainstream"

@MikeyMike , this is becoming so mainstream, its hardly cringe worthy anymore.

I doubt they are referring to the "pee hole" though hahaha... They are making this the new normal, at this rate, I do not want to know what the abnormal will be

I am sure we are not in the minority though

EFF are a bunch of clowns

@MikeyMike they do have enough followers, don;t get me wrong, I don't under estimate them...

Thats why we should prepare for their revolution, by arming ourselves

They are savages!!! We should be teaching our wives and children how to defend themselves with firearms... They need to become comfortable with it and know how to use them safely and efficiently

The best would be to head to the Northern Cape, away from the non sense if something goes down.... we are only strong in numbers

If my life or my family is in danger, I RAM who ever is in my way, at that point human life comes second to my life

Many people are getting tired, from both sides and at some point either side will boil over

No idea, but pretty sure the guptas are involved

@Tom_Servo I agree, EFF and BLF get excited when things like this happen. It just goes to show that we need to be careful and think before we speak, especially on camera. There is no reason to use the K word and if we want to be taken seriously, we need to be the bigger person and not do a tit for tat with racists like EFF and BLF

It is a double standard, but why give the EFF and BLF more ammo against us? It is stupid

@Rox you are right, definitely a double standard. But like @lambdalizard 🌈🐲 said, we can control what we say and say the same thing without using a word we know will start a pushback

We will always have fewer voices, we are a minority. We should speak up on racism but in the same breath understand that we have no control over what people say and do... as a side note, any speech that offends, just shows how weak people are in themselves. If you are offended by someones words, or a word, you should be able to brush it off, how can words/word have so much power over you?
