Believe me, the folks at google THINK about things. They are, as another post mentions, hoping that the outliers just go to another platform or start their own. Of course, chances are that those platforms will fail from lack of financing and viewership.

Thousands of sites exists on the deep web and dark web. Everything and anything.

They already have some filtering and parental controls that allow some of what you are mentioning...but when it comes to true hate and BS, they just won't put up with it. Period.

Hate is not really profitable except for a tiny slice of it and Fox has that cash wrapped up worldwide. Otherwise hate usually costs....or loses money. That's why it has to be funded by the Russians and the NRA, etc...

Had to look at the top of the screen to make sure I wasn't at Salon or Raw Story.

They would...and do.....anything!

Mad is still kicking and definitely non-PC.

What I think the Right desires is to walk down the street and stop each and every person and describe them in the vilest terms possible.....you know, what they were thinking anyway! They somehow think this is "the truth" and "saying what you think" is good. Unfortunately, they've rarely looked into the mirror so in their minds they are all Favio or Georgy Clooney look alikes.

Trump is the perfect example. Such a hunk. Such great shape....almost a perfect human specimen. Therefore, he has the full right, as POTUS and all, to call anyone and everyone every name in the book.

AND, there are many Righties who actually approve. You couldn't have made that one up even a few years back. Apparently an entire generation of parents raised their children with no manners or civility.

Like my insurance rating...that I've had for decades? Or my credit score? Or the stuff Cambridge Analytica had on all of us (or, better yet, that corporation which sells aggregated data to the Police and anyone else...starts with a P.....)????

There were even a couple online companies that gave you an "influence score" based on what they crawled on the internet.

Which types of "tests" do you approve of:

IQ
SAT
Personality
Drug
Cognitive
RWA

There are so many more. Do you not approve of any of them?

I like the fact that I get insurance cheaper because we are honorable. I don't want to pay for all the frauds and cheaters and those who don't pay their premiums.

Optional = liberty
Mandatory = tyranny


I'm glad there are some people that are comfortable being the property of someone else.
I'm sad, they think I too, should be their property. It is the reason, the people that choose, are armed.
It is only hard to tell who is property and who is not, because of Conceal Carry.

As I said, and you now agree, Crowders videos do not breach the TOS. They have categorically stated this. So to be clear, youtube says it is ok to call Maza a 'lispy *****'.
Im not being disingenuous, I am saying youtube is playing light with its own rules, but it did demonitize him for using the phrase F&%gs, so I guess that was there cop out. Maybe they view the Q word is as usable when its a purposeful slur, because it is ok other times, IDK.

Poor Carlos Maza will have to keep watching his videos and getting offended because they are all still all there.

Are you outraged the Maza called for the physical assault of conservatives? Can you provide evidence that Crowder doxed maza or even called for the doxing of maza?
Maza himself provided that evidence.


As for am I outraged, sure, I actually said both should be punished. I have never defended Maza for his actions, but you are defending crowder for his.

Even if you dont think Crowder should be banned or at least demonetized. You dont have to defend his action or pretend he was using ***** in a nice way.

The really sad part about this is that he has a video on his channel where he talks about his own personal evolution when it comes to LGBT people, and coming to the conclusion that it isnt a choice and that conservatives need to get over it.

Do you have options as to the amount of industrial pollution you breathe? To the amount of radiation from old nuke tests, releases, accidents, etc.?

That's amazing.

The thing is, we have different definitions here. You may (unknowingly) support Corporate pollution that causes diseases for millions....who don't check the box "I want more pollution but my stuff has to cost 5% less"...........

Davy Crocketts all. But even TN told old Davy to take off...and so he did, to Kill Mexicans in Texas. Killed at the Alamo.

But, hey, he got you Texas so you can claim it's all optional....
