It’s still my favorite line to say to people whenever something is suspect.

The same reason people in Russia and China didn't fight back. They didn't think it would be that bad. Most of them would go back in time and fight given the chance. American education system doesn't teach history of communism enough, so most Americans think it will not be that bad. I guess most countries must live through communism once in order for several generations of that country to understand the evils of communism. This is America's turn. Let's hope the communism here will last less time than in Russia. Let's hope less people will die because of it. Let's hope less people would have to eat others to survive like they did during Holodomor.

I remember back in 2018 I was talking to my girlfriend about how Alex Jones being censored was bullshit and the start of a slippery slope. No one wanted to hear it. They never gave a shit because "he was crazy". Now look where we are.

We went from "You can't ban X from commenting on Trump's twitter replies because Free Speech!!!!!" to "Of course they can ban anybody including The President of the United States of America because reasons!" real fast.

Yeah I was going to say that he was technically the first person banned from internet. But they mean social media.

Alex Jones has been saying for years that they would ban Trump off social media.

How long before simply being right wing will be labeled "hate speech" and removed on these sites?
