The Capitol Invaders coordinated the invasion on Parler. That's what they aren't telling you.
That's a straw man. How many of this summers lootings, arsons, rapes and murders were coordinated on Twitter and Facebook? This stuff happens all the time without any repercussions at all. The Capitol protests are just the excuse the liberal tech companies have been waiting for to cleanse the internet of conservative thought.

It ain't no straw man and y'all conveniently never mentioned the official reason given for the actions against Parler.
Treasonous activity is worse than your common day crimes.
Parler was used to coordinate an attack on our nation's Capitol while the Presidential election was being certified. True conservatives find that a problem.

Many of the news outlets carried the story on the internet and TV for more than a week before that on January 6th Trump Supporters were going to have a protest in DC.

There were calls for protests. Not "looting, arson, rapes and murders." That my friend is a REAL strawman.
If you are trying to make liberals feel bad, save your breath.
They don't think like you and I. They do not value your speech the way you value theirs. They think that silencing non-liberal voices is a good thing. If you are not liberal, then you are evil, and evil has to be stopped by all means necessary.
Our problem is that we think that they think like we do, because we are all Americans. It is a big mistake to think this.
This point was made by someone else on another thread but..
When a private company wants to deny service to some gays getting married for its own reasons the conservatives are all for it.
Yet here a private company wants to deny services for it's own reasons, it's all of a sudden an outrage.
So which is it...can a private company decide who it wants to do business with or not?
I agree with everything you said. However, I want to expand on two points.
First, the leftists are not "liberal," and with all due respect, we really need to stop referring to them as "liberals". The word "liberal" comes from the same root word "liberty". These people place no more value on personal liberty than they are to democratic elections or true civil and social "progress" (as in "Progressive"). They are totalitarians. They are advocates of centralized control, dictated by them through their designated "experts," who will not be experts for long if they deviate from the pre-approved "narrative" talking points. It does not matter if anything they advocate benefits anyone other than their elites. Only that everyone else comply and shut up about it.
They are leftists. They are totalitarians. They are socialists in name only - that is just a marketing strategy for seizing control. Afterwards, just like always, all their promises will be quickly cast aside and forgotten, and all that will be left is the oppression and domineering totalitarian control.
Second, the leftists are the most open and aggressive advocates and proponents of evil in our society, by far. Yes, you are right that they call those who refuse to submit to them "evil," but they dependably accuse their adversaries of whatever it is that they are doing. It is one of their most interesting and leverageable traits, which the right still has not figured out how to respond to effectively just yet.
Leftists are anti-social in the extreme. That includes the advocacy of ongoing lawless violence and mayhem in our cities - coupled together with the formal withdrawal of law enforcement or any legal means of restraint. Anti-social. That is the correct word, yes? That is in the streets, but it is just the same in the daily behavior of the corporate media and the outrageous behavior towards our current democratically elected president over the last four years.
And now also in the public square of ideas, as alternative social platforms to the large leftist behemoths are harassed, cancelled and hounded out of the public square. Of course the reason these were established to begin with is because of the open political harassment, censorship and intolerance of people who dare not to conform to the "Politically correct" narratives that the leftists are willing to tolerate. The leftists first took measures that have led to the establishment of social segregation. Now they are working to marginalize and eventually eliminate even this level of dissent.
All of this is evil. Their unhinged opposition to our basic values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, brought with what is approaching a 'French revolution' level of hostility, intolerance, hatred, deceit, antagonism, and raging, hysterical animosity is clear to see. This is the evil, and the people that the left regards as their adversaries do not behave similarly. Anyone who suggest that they do will not be telling the truth.
What you conveniently ignore is Trumpies aren't classical liberals either. They are proponents of tariffs and oppose property rights. They turned the Republican Party away from the classical liberal position of Goldwater and Reagan, Friedman and Hayek, Jefferson and Madison.

What's amazing is they're trying to do the same thing the left tried with talk radio with the Fairness Doctrine. It was vetoed by Ronald Reagan who labeled it, rightfully, an attack on the First Amendment.

Please. There was a coordinated effort by left wing media and tech to condone all of those crimes. After all, as Chris Cuomo said, "Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful". I guess he only meant leftist protests. Right wing protests have to remain polite and peaceful. And anyone with Twitter account at the time knows that there were tons of leftists posting encouragement for these acts, and Twitter never took them down. Not only that, but they kept referring to these protests as "Peaceful". If you dont remember any of that, then you have a selective memory.
Tech has been looking for any excuse to shut down right wing opinions on the internet, but they haven't been able to justify it on a large scale. Look at the way Twitter had to apologize for banning the NY Post. They didn't like that at all. Now they have an excuse to ban anything they want, and in 10 days, there will be nobody to stop them. And leftists think that this is a good thing, but I cant help but think there will be some blowback. There always is. This is just going to radicalize people who feel they have no other voice.
