Facebook and the Biden Administration Admit to Censoring Speech

[Irving]

Do what about it? I couldn't even just the people I feel should be executed by the state on here, let alone running around taking about it in public?

Stu, I think you were sleep posting or super drunk... can you please interpret?

I used google translate. To approximate Stuish, I translated into afrikkans, somalian, scottish gaelic, japanese, greek and then to english.

What are you doing about it? Far from leaving the public, he could not pay those who considered themselves killed in the state.

I guess it would be difficult to pay people who considered themselves killed, so it's a valid point, I guess.

Nope it doesn't sell in Peoria, in Afrikaan, either. It's a little edgier, but all those vowels.

Wat doen jy daaraan? Hy kon nie die publiek verlaat nie, maar hy kon nie diegene betaal wat hulle in die staat as vermoor beskou nie.

I guess all the data on UFO/UAP and space aliens is classified. Even some of old stuff on the internet has disappeared. A lot of what I have seen is not just censorship, but a complete disinformation campaign. The recently released Senate Intelligence Committee report basically said nothing. I shouldn't bitch, at least we have meat and toilet paper...

The only thing surprising to me is that they are so emboldened that they'll admit to this now. That and the fact that so many Americans are now sheeple that will hear this open admission and not do anything about it at all.

I've been rereading Jerry Pournelle's CoDominium novels lately -- in particular "Go Tell the Spartans" and "Prince of Sparta" and the parallels to contemporary society are uncanny.

These are so very good.

I was neither, but auto correct didn't help for sure. I was asking, what are people supposed to do about this? Quit using Facebook I guess, but that's probably only even half the user base, so Facebook would survive and nothing would really change.

I was trying to convey, and didn't do a good job, that even on this website, that is only quasi public, we can't really have open discussions about the way our government tramples our rights and what should be done with those in power who are guilty of doing the trampling. So, I just can't imagine that people who exist on more public media platforms are going to do, or even say anything meaningful about this. Sure, I'd love to see anyone upset about this put their money where their mouth is with respect to the voting booth and abandoning Facebook and all its other platforms, but I'm just too cynical to expect anything to change for the better.

There's plenty of other sources as well...

Thanks. I wasn't asking because I don't believe you. I've never not believed you. I just wanted to read the same source you did.

Your cynical is what I call "realistic".

Lots of people have bright eyes, hope and dreams, in their teens and twenties.

Then, some of them start dating the government, and realize you can't change an abuser.

Anyone who thinks they can fix things is either inexperienced, or an optimist of unfathomable extreme.

ETA: Fixed "you're"

Am I now or have I ever been a member of the Facebook party? No. Never have. My ex and I used a fake FB profile in order to read certain things from time to time...she used it far more often than I did, and even then it was like twice a year, maybe. I fucking hate FB. And I always vote. Always.

In the past I've been very vocal to my elected representatives on the state and federal level. One time, when I had an issue with the VA, it did me some good. I contacted Hank Brown's office (how long ago was that?) and he assisted in quickly solving the problem.

Aside from that I've NEVER received what I felt was a satisfactory response from ANY elected official I've contacted. I long ago learned that contacting an elected representative was simply a way to vent and make myself feel better about whatever situation had me concerned. I honestly feel that's an exercise in futility now. Nothing has changed for the better within government in my opinion. Maybe temporarily with a particular administration, but not permanently. And I don't think it will. We are on a path of self-destruction that I honestly feel can't be stopped. The only solution in stopping it might be worse than not stopping it.

It's just a fucking mess and I'm tired of it.
