ONLY UNACCEPTABLE DISSIDENCE IS ACCEPTABLE TO BIG TECH


Styxhexenhammer666 explains the economic driving forces behind Big Tech's deplatforming of popular dissidents like Alex Jones and Gavin McInnes. The Neo-Gatekeepers are mainly interested in killing competition from popular Alt Media sites, while also promoting unacceptable extremists to become its "public face."

IS THE DEPLATFORMING OF ALEX JONES CONNECTED TO QANON, AND IF SO HOW?

by Duns Scotus

People are genuinely surprised by the deplatforming of Alex Jones. This is simply because it doesn't make sense.

Even the deplaforming of AltRight.com made sense on a kind of stretched logic:

SHORTPOD (26): ALEX JONES AND THE COMING "COLD CIVIL WAR"

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell comments on the deplatforming of Alex Jones and other non-Leftists by Big Tech. He draws a parallel between America today and Britain in the 1980s, when the Left's decisive defeat at the hands of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, saw it displaced from political power. It fought back by seizing control of institutions or weaponising its existing soft control of institutions. 


Something similar is now underway in America with Big Tech being increasingly weaponised by the Left, raising the possibility of a Rightist response. Only strong anti-trust measures can prevent a "Cold Civil War" that could split society into ideologically disparate institutions and corporate structures.


THE ALT-RIGHT, PUNK ROCK, AND FAKE BOOBS: AN ANALYSIS

Get your photo taken with the Alt-Right.

The worst thing about people who are full of shit is when they become fans of things that you both enjoy and are a much, much greater expert on.

I think I’m in some position of authority to state that most punk rockers don’t know as much as I do about the Alternative Right, or the general umbrella of the new right. And similarly I think it’s safe to say that most people on the Alternative Right have only a cursory knowledge of punk rock.

So, as someone who is a damn near expert on both of these topics – not saying I was ever on the vanguard of either of these movements – I think I’m at least qualified to call bullshit on a recent article published by Playboy magazine.

SHOOTING AN ELEPHANT

Known for walking enormous distances to its final resting place.

The Republican party serves as a resource sink for the right wing. It’s a token resistance to the left, which temporarily delays the general ruination of the country, if that. The neocon faction, which has suffered catastrophic losses since the financial collapse that footed the Bush II presidency, was more a different varietal of mainstream leftism than representative of rightist thought.

The right wing tends to blunt itself when it pursues democratic political power, because winning elections requires ideological dilution, as is taught in any political science course. I’ll stop writing now about why the GOP sucks, because this should be review for most of you.

The Republican party can never again gain national authority as in the manner that its ‘base’ wants it to, because, as Mitt Romney noticed during his campaign, roughly 47% of the country is reliant on transfer payments from the state to make ends meet. The real number is probably higher, given that many private companies rely on government contracts.
