At the urging of other journalists, YouTube demonetized and deplatformed various voices this week. Steven Crowder, an actor, comedian, and activist with nearly four million subscribers on his YouTube channel, remains on the site but stripped of the ability to support his show with advertisers. Carlos Maza, a Vox writer and frequent target of Crowder mockery, decried YouTube for “creating a platform where only monsters feel safe enough to talk about s#!+ that actually matters” in arguing for the company to remove Crowder entirely. MeTube, not YouTube.
The censorship follows similar moves by tech companies, including Twitter bans on American Spectator writer Robert Stacy McCain,

We suspect this kind of de facto censorship and shadow banning is taking place far, far more than comes to light in the celebrity cases. The scariest part is that it is clearly a part of the Dims' 2020 campaign to cheat their way back into the White House...

Whoever gets banned or de-monetized only has themselves to blame. NO ONE except Owen Benjamin stood up for Alex Jones when he was de-platformed. Mr. Benjamin isn't a fan of Alex Jones but he stands for free speech. Vox Day has a really good explanation of why a pure conservative platform won't work, it has something to do with who controls the servers I believe.
I'll be a shill here for a moment. Try Unauthorizedtv.com for a change. Owen Benjamin and Vox Day started it and they have several other shows you can watch. It's also FREE but you can contribute if you'd like. I bought a yearly membership as a show of support.

Here’s an idea - get off of all social media and stay off. If all conservatives did that, we would remove half of these organizations cash and power.

Our American fascists are more brazen and in a way more honest than their predecessors. They aren't hiding behind a government they support imposing their will to be an elitist one party master class of communist purity, they are hands on doing it themselves.
Same ideology, same evil, slightly different tactics.
Does anybody think that there wouldn't be a purge of conservatism if they weren't afraid we'd shoot them?

The Trump campaign used social media very effectively, not just schooling all how to do so but also making it clear steps needed to be taken to keep that from happening again. Welcome to Campaign 2020 where the Republican/Conservative/Constitutionalist message will be invisible. I have no answers on how to even the playing field.

I wholeheartedly agree with #5 and #2. Get off social media - and furiously work to get a conservative search engine, conservative You Tube, and conservative news platform and have it completed well before the election. LIKE YESTERDAY, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT ALL KINDS OF GREMLINS ARE PLOTTING RIGHT NOW TO FIND WAYS TO STEAL THE ELECTION FROM TRUMP WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE CENSORING SO MANY NOW.
AS USUAL, IT IS ALL ABOUT POWER MORE THAN ANYTHING.
I would think there must be a great number of conservatives who could accomplish this; if not, bye bye America.

I don't do facebook, twitter, you tube, or any of these platforms. Never have and never will. These platforms are a socialist cancer. I have no need or desire for other people to know my business because it is none of their business. Similarly, I have no need for constant approval.

Forgive second post, but if we did have a true conservative platform we could interview Mr. Deroy Murdock and have him tell the audience how both Obama and Clinton had a citizenship question on their census forms. (Read his column about Obama and Clinton census forms which is posted here today.)

Vox Day is alt-right.
If you want a community of CONSTITUTIONAL conservatives, Parler is growing fast!

Two words; Rush Limbaugh. Super tech savvy, a huge protector of the first ammendment, has the resources!

Vox Day is not alt-right. That is a gross mischaracterization.
He is simply libertarian. And a Christian libertarian at that.
And before you snipe on libertarians, check out this quote:
“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”
-- Ronald Reagan
