    Big Tech isn’t going to get reigned in until the GOP is back in power or they decide to reign in themselves. The DNC is wholly in bed with the various monopolies because they serve each other’s interests, and the majority of US citizens no longer want the free flow of information/opinions to drive discourse, but, rather they prefer echo chambers that validate confirmation bias. The obvious result of that is who has the largest and most accessible echo chambers to control ideas and narrative.

    The best way to accomplish that? Brand your adversary as subhuman and destroy their ability to get their message out. Astonishing that this is what “liberals” have come to stand for.

    GOP going forward has to be the party of small business, religious freedom, individual rights, and free speech, because it isn’t an unfair thing to say that the DNC has embraced corporatism, statism, and cancel culture.

    Unfortunately, right now, small businesses are closed, it’s illegal or discouraged to attend church, or see your family, and social media platforms that work to serve a dissenting side of the political spectrum are being censored.

    Hopefully, Biden’s America pivots away from this dangerous trend, but he and the majority of US lawmakers are so deeply in bed with the greatest existential threat facing the US today, I doubt anyone will know what’s happening until the deed is done.

    Biden has no idea what’s going on in any regard. Dementia is a helluva drug. His handlers though, they have no intention of pivoting from this. They’re all in. Hope and change baby. BOHICA.

    Sure, that would be great for Derek. That way when we meet up at the 7-11 and I stomp your guts out, you can sue him for enabling the whole confucktion.

    Sounds like a smart way to avoid censorship.

    Wow. Half-Pint Internet Tough Guy @dflea is up early today, overcompensating for his multiple inadequacies.
    I told you to pick your 7-11, shitdick. I'll put a half pint of ass kicking in your tank. Unlike your bitch ass, I don't have inadequacies that need to be compensated for. You, being the candy ass child of liberal teacher weenies, on the other hand.....
    My folks weren't liberal. Quite the opposite.

    Nice stalking attempt though. Shows how much you care and pay attention to the details of my life and upbringing.

    By now you could almost write my life story. Have you built a shrine of me inside your head yet? Seems so.

    I always knew history would repeat itself, I just didn't realize it would only take 80 years.

    Frankly I'm flattered by @dflea's depth of knowledge about the mundane details of my life, while simultaneously claiming I'm not living in his head. Shittiest salesman ever? Probably.

    As a TR Republican, I’ve always supported trust busting. MS, Amazon, Google, and Fb have too much political power now, just like US Steel and Standard Oil did before. I’m pro-small business and individual Liberty, “counselor”...

    Try and keep up.
    Selectively TR poaster is likable!

    If that helps you.

    And, if you mean that I’m not in favor of going to war with native Americans, but I do believe in curbing corporate influence on Politics, as well as appreciating our national parks, you can label me selective, if it pleases you.

    Is this where you inject some useless quip and call me gal, before scampering off?
    “Corporate expenditures for political purposes, and especially such expenditures by public service corporations, have supplied one of the principal sources of corruption in our political affairs.

    It has become entirely clear that we must have government supervision of the capitalization, not only of public service corporations, including, particularly, railways, but of all corporations doing an interstate business.”

    Yes?

    The UniParty of the United States will never reign in Big Tech, neither GOP (Nazis, Communists) nor the Democrats (Nazis, Communists). The GOP did nothing while in 'power' during Trump's first two years, and wanted to lose, so that they could bark loudly about doing something while not actually having to do it, because that would go against their Master's wishes in the City Of London, The Vatican, and Davos.

    GOP Governors and Democrat Governors were all SELECTED. None of them, not a single one, was elected. As Mark Twain famously said, if voting made a difference, they would ban it tomorrow. The GOP faction of the UniParty will attempt to play the same game again. Don't fall for it. The UniParty must be annihilated or the United States and other countries will fall under the long shadow of entrenched tyranny, and will become permanent vassal states of the NWO. This is currently happening. It may be inevitable, as predicted in Biblical Prophesy, the one world government. It must be opposed either way.

    1776. It's time.

    I think he was an American with policy ideas the left turned into the scourge of our nation. He was an American unlike you so what could you admire? Lawmen, soldier, naturalist, hunter etc. Not faggy like you. I'm afraid to know why you admire him.

    We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used. It is not even enough that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community … The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size, acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and … a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion, and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate.

    The Government has the absolute right to decide as to the terms upon which a man shall receive a bequest or devise from another, and this point in the devolution of property is especially appropriate for the imposition of a tax.

    It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.

    I believe that the officers, and, especially, the directors, of corporations should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law.

    Those who oppose reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.

    I believe in shaping the ends of government to protect property as well as human welfare. Normally, and in the long run, the ends are the same; but whenever the alternative must be faced, I am for men and not for property . . . .

    Of that generation of men to whom we owe so much, the man to whom we owe most is, of course, Lincoln. Part of our debt to him is because he forecast our present struggle and saw the way out. He said:

    "I hold that while man exists it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind."

    And again:

    "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

    If that remark was original with me, I should be even more strongly denounced as a Communist agitator than I shall be anyhow. It is Lincoln’s. I am only quoting it; and that is one side; that is the side the capitalist should hear. Now, let the working man hear his side.

    "Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. . . . Nor should this lead to a war upon the owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor; . . . property is desirable; is a positive good in the world."

    And then comes a thoroughly Lincoln-like sentence:

    "Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."

    It seems to me that, in these words, Lincoln took substantially the attitude that we ought to take; he showed the proper sense of proportion in his relative estimates of capital and labor, of human rights and property rights.

    We have not the slightest sympathy with that socialistic idea which would try to put laziness, thriftlessness and inefficiency on a par with industry, thrift and efficiency; which would strive to break up not merely private property, but what is far more important, the home, the chief prop upon which our whole civilization stands. Such a theory, if ever adopted, would mean the ruin of the entire country--a ruin which would bear heaviest upon the weakest, upon those least able to shift for themselves. But proposals for legislation such as this herein advocated are directly opposed to this class of socialistic theories. Our aim is to recognize what Lincoln pointed out: The fact that there are some respects in which men are obviously not equal; but also to insist that there should be an equality of self-respect and of mutual respect, an equality of rights before the law, and at least an approximate equality in the conditions under which each man obtains the chance to show the stuff that is in him when compared to hisfellows.
