e.g. Rothschilds

Never see them on the Forbes lists

From what I understand, it used to be the same way with rich families that donated to right-wing organizations, such as the Kochs

this also makes the companies seem very weak and not powerful at all if they are so scared they have to submit to some sensationalist rags

The companies are weak

They bend with just a little pressure by the noisy activists

Well, considering the "sensationalist rags" have proven that they can destroy business connections with a well-organized series of articles against a company time and time again

it seems like it

Look at people that take back something they said on twitter because of a little outage

PewDiePie is just the latest casualty of journalistic malpractice

like something as innocent as a Democrat talking about his childhood friend who was a Republican

We need laws forbidding this sort of behavior from the media

organizing against companies and individuals they don't like

Investigate, find real dirt, sure

But create dirt and outrage just because you don't like someone/some company?

but the companies could stick to their guns. i dont know why they feel they have to submit.

it seems like youtube is gonna lose a lot of money by not having infowars fanbase anymore, along with some potential boycotts ontop of that

I think they are looking at long term

they expect people to get over it eventually

I think television based MSM is in their death throws so they are desperate to stay relevant and push their narratives so they are looking for an easy target in the alt media, and in this case its InfoWars. Internet based MSM will hold out a bit longer but thats only so long as social media platforms like facebook and twitter, etc. stay viable.

Twitter has been in a death spiral for a while now

Facebook will fade into obscurity eventually as well, but it will be a while

its glorious

people need to get out more

talk to real people

theyll feel better for it

The research that came out in the last year or two proving that social media addiction takes a negative toll on people has helped as well

like obviously places like this are good but social media like facebook, etc. is unhealthy imo

even places like this you gotta take a break from though

I have a FB account, but I haven't really used it in over 4 years now

i barely use it

Most of my information on there is fake as well

Never had one. Never will.

same with books. you have to take a break from books man. books arent reality. get out there and talk to the intellectual peasants.

actually you have to take a break from talking to people in reality too. it can be addictive an unhealthy.

ill go weeks without posting anything

i comment frequently but often short remarks

should we take breaks from sanity?

ExceptionalFeather, you ask that as though you've never taken a break from sanity

if i do want to start a discussion that happens to be political i just be careful where i do it

all the time
