All this crap started in June 2018, when the owner (a tranny male who thinks he’s now female) of Ravelry kicked off everyone who supported POTUS, the GOP or considered themselves a Patriot. He claimed only white Supremacists could support Trump. That was the dry run for all this sh*t. Oh, there were articles written about it, there was some coverage on FOX, but nobody really cared. It was only a bunch of knitters affected.

It did cause Dr Karlyn to get on YouTube and be instrumental in the walkaway movement. Unfortunately, it turns out they don't actually need people to vote for them.

That’s true, that was one good result of the Ravelry purge.
There were probably a few red-pills given out too.
And I think a lot of Leftist, SJW pattern designers and yarn dyers lost a significant amount of income. It certainly made me think hard on where by money goes.

Yep, I was there. That's why the Reddit purge was old hat to me, just months later.

Source? I can't find anything that says MeWe is connected to China.

I'm gonna need more evidence than that. Do the owners have any proven ties to China?
