[VIDEO] So Liberal Hivemind discusses President Trump's permanent ban from Twitter and its effects going forward. And yes I'm posting this a bit earlier than usual, but then why not.
Anyway the scariest part of this purge discussed by a number of commentators, Mark Dice commented on this in a video on Saturday morning, that "progressive liberal" activists extremists will go much further. If right leaning people decided to go ahead and leave the major social media companies then they'll find other places. The extremists will make sure there is no where else for people with opposing points of view to go.
In other words if we don't like you, you will be silenced. Inciting violence is one thing as Trump had been accused of (not that I support this BTW), however, it's another to silence voices who don't incite violence but espouse an opposing point of view is another.
It leads to a lament I've had, social media used to be fun. You showed pictures of yourself enjoying a hobby, you showed pics of your pets, you talk about a movie, you share your own thoughts and feelings. Social media has increasingly become more political when sites such as YouTube, fb, Twitter, ig, etc were started in good fun. Now, social media is increasingly serious and political. These sites which I have enjoyed once they became a thing have become no fun.
I still plan to post something at 11:30 PM, though I'm thinking I still have one more in me today.
