That or the obvious bullshit propaganda surrounding it, plus the massive coordinated effort to purge conservatism from the internet, red-pilled some people.
All of these “we simply cannot stand by...” posts are so self-virtuous it hurts to read every time.
Yes. You can stand idly by. Your job is to provide a product or service. Not get into politics. Shut the fuck up and do your job.
Trump’s approval went up following Capitol Hill.
The real world is not the internet.
TL;DR: Nothing new.
The very Republicans that gave them the greenlight to do it.
Fuck them.
They just told half the country that they don’t want their business.
Oof
The man who had it all, fame, fortune... and risked, and in many ways lost it all to take on the political establishment, because nobody else would.
That was an enormous overreach for Amazon/AWS.
They’ve just shown that they can and will simply remove somebody from their service for any reason that they deem fit, with very little warning.
How can any company trust AWS now? Especially if it’s a small business trying to compete with mega-corps... like Parler was.
How is that account not already nuked?
Speaking an opposing viewpoint is now domestic terrorism.
“Unity and healing” they say.
The very first thing they do is try to erase your beliefs from existence.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Why would they need to block him from 2024 when they can just steal it again?
If they assume power there won’t be a 2024 election. Why would they be worried about that?
That’s a little bit more than 6 feet distance...
Then surely a small business has the right to remain open during COVID?
“NO THAT’S DIFFERENT THERES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC”
But Walmart can remain open, right?
“WELL DUH THEY’RE ESSENTIAL”
These people think in a circle that can’t be easily broken. Critical thinking is too hard so they let the media do it for them.
Godspeed.
With each passing day I also feel like removing myself from the e-society. Seems that the internet only exists to frustrate me now and make my IRL worse.
It’s a shame that, what is possibly the greatest modern invention in history (the internet) has been abused and corrupted in such a way that it’s crippled society to a point that I’m not sure it will ever recover.
Ah I began to miss Pepe/Apu on the front page
Man I want to believe...
I seriously gotta wonder what the hell happened.
People I knew that were some of the edgiest, most rebellious “stick it to the big man” type of people grew up to be the most obedient government and big tech puppets. The hell?
Jumping ship again, are we?
RINOs tend to jump to whoever the winning side is.
... am I on too much hopium?
Stocks will drop like hell due to the shock of it all. But it’s okay Big Daddy Government will save them by bailing them out with taxpayer money.
Can’t have their propaganda wings running out of money, can they?
Yep, leftists keep thinking “oh that can’t happen to us they’re on our side! The people they’re banning are racists and fascists they deserve it!”
What happens when the government no longer finds you useful? What happens when you start to question what the government is doing?
They’re so brainwashed they act like these big governments and big tech companies are their friend and they’re trying to protect them by banning the scary right-wing nazis. What happens when you stop agreeing with them?
They crave his attention
Anyone who mentions voting in 2024 has no grasp on the situation at hand.
They openly, brazenly, stole the election, and will likely get away with it when they’re NOT in power.
When they are in power, the election will be nothing more than a formality to install whoever their next choice is.
There will not be a 2024 election if they gain the presidency.
