To today’s young generation they are definitely the good guys. They are being conditioned. Look at Reddit’s downvote/upvote system and they have nothing but leftist moderators.

They are in the enviable position of having nothing but young users and I’m sure that’s on purpose. We are in big trouble.

Reddit is a very left of center audience fits the mods. And the political boards are VERY woke and especially VERY much for free health care and free tuition.

Oh and the world will end if they are forced to actually go back to work instead of work from home.

You are so right BB. I just heard that the WH is tapping Facebook and others to make sure that "only the correct information on Covid" is posted on their platforms. Haven't we been told that FB and Twitter are private companies yet here they are signing on to become yet another propaganda arm of the Left. Next we will hear that they are being paid by the Dems.



When people lose their Free speech they lose options to form their own opinions but then again Russia, China, Nazi Germany saw Free Thinking as a danger to their power. The Left is not much different.

It's interesting how censorship has been disguised as "protecting people from harmful information", so that the unintelligent victims of censorship actually believe it is a good thing.

So, Big Tech is an extension of the Democrat party and doing the governments dirty work. When democrats gain power, Big Tech becomes an agency of government and Section 230 no longer protects them.

Small problem. CRT is mostly not teaching history. I also have no problem with LOCALS removing confederate statues through legal and proper means. People in Boston are irrelevant to people in Atlanta wanting to get rid of a General Robert E Lee statue. That is up to the people of Atlanta.

You can teach that slavery, lynching and Jim crow are bad for several weeks a year in US history. I have no issue. Yet Brooks Co GA and Brooksville FL still exist because people are not bright enough to figure that out because statues are easier.

CRT as being presented is all that white privilege, white guilt, ACAB stuff.

see paragraph that starts "The three trained diversity hands"
https://counterweightsupport.com/202...rsity-training
White men caucus

I owe no one apologies for something an ancestor did in 1750. I owe everyone the exact same thing: To treat them with respect until they prove to me they don't deserve it.
