The Gathering Storm: The Future Doesn’t Include You
This will be a series of conversations having to do with worrying things on the horizon.
Silicon Valley is speaking. They are speaking loudly.
Youtube is now censoring based upon the opinion of extremists leftist groups who call everybody to the right of stalin is alt-right, rayciss, misogynist, etc.
Styx at one point made a video claiming to be a satanist and talks regularly about his spiritual travels in the occult. So he is concerned about religious conversation, he wants to argue against islam (and formerly christianity) and spread the word of paganism. But that will get you disinvited and maybe shadowbanned by AI.
Here is a popular physiologist who had his account locked without warning or explanation. So this isn’t an overstatement.
You might be saying, that this is only going to come for the really out there people come on. Remember Ben Shapiro is not far removed from the most alt of the alt right.
(seriously, this is from what i understand is Richard Spencer’s position about america, so…. do you think AI and some liberals already not and increasingly less sympathetic to Israel is going to be interested in your nuance)
Patreon has removed a few right of center activists for not violating their ToS, while making outright lies to justify it.
You can find the CEO’s explanation else where and Lauren’s response to his explanation. I am not going to link to him because his mendacity is over the top.
Conservatives are fighting the last war. The public forum of the future will be denied to you.
The problem with the typical argument is to go create something new; the problems with this is highlighted here: slatestarcodex
The important highlight of the conservative ghetto is perfectly written as:
The moral of the story is: if you’re against witch-hunts, and you promise to found your own little utopian community where witch-hunts will never happen, your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches. It will be a terrible place to live even if witch-hunts are genuinely wrong.
To circle back to the beginning, he is being called a crypto-conservative because he doesn’t think the current situation or state of the left is healthy. So are other lefties like Tim Pool, David Rubin and Carl Benjamin (Sargon).
At some point “conservatives” are going to have to decide if “muh principlz” is a suicide pact. Down the road of separating the national information system is just going to further isolation and lead to violence. It isn’t just that conservative principles that will get pushed into the shadows, the violence in the streets is only going to get worse. Trump is the least of our problems.
But Zuckerburg said nice sounding things to Glenn Beck.
Seriously, this is the biggest problem facing the right today. If we don’t like how I wrote it, I hope an editor picks it up plagiarizes me to the hilt and gets it out there.

You aren’t even allowed to have a conservative ghetto twitter with your 7 bazillion witches.
@jon has a potty mouth neighbor on the problems at youtube. (Phoenix Arizona)
He may make a good guest for the conservatarian podcast to talk about the youtube apocalypse
(trigger warning: Extreme Potty Mouth)
The Hillary Campaign is taking Trotsky out of the picture.
Eric Schmidt’s position that isn’t censorship, if we just don’t call literal censorship.
“Its not censorship. you can still write your book, you just aren’t allowed to make it available anywhere. see no problem, what are you complaining, about? Shut up.”
One. I wonder if current contract law allows “consideration” to be the the use of my personal information to target advertisements at me. If not, I wonder what it would take for such to be considered “consideration.”
Two. If the terms and conditions of a social media site say hate speech is not allowed, I would like to have the means to sue it to live up to its terms and ban Democrats (a well-known hate group) from talking their usual politics on the site.
Ha, ha, ha.
Was that a with him or at him laugh? Could go either way.
