There we go, thought-police for the big fail.

Much of what is said in America is shaped by the need to avoid saying
"shameful" things that are true.

The Hill article is very vague on the specifics of Mr. Bongino's ban. Of course, the commenters in the Hill article were quick to praise YouTube for this move, even without knowing the specifics of why.


Here's what the Hill article left out: According to Mr. Bongino, the ban was set in motion following a one-week suspension for quoting Dr. Fauci saying that masks don't work. Following the suspension, Mr. Bongino uploaded a video titled, "Why I'm leaving YouTube", and that all future videos would be posted to a YouTube competitor, Rumble. Soon after the posting of that video, YouTube sent a message to Mr. Bongino stating they were permanently banning his account, saying he "tried to evade suspension".

Sourced from his website: https://bongino.com/youtube-permanen...vid-narrative/

What does him posting videos on another platform have to do with his YouTube channel? What he does on other platforms is none of Google's business, and yet they're making it their business. For shame!

I've slowly dwindled down what I watch on YouTube. I also use the Brave browser, so I never see any ads on YouTube and, therefore, Google never sees a dime from me, in that regard. I'm disheartened that an American company would engage in practices found within Communist China.
I wish I could say I was surprised at this turn of events.

So it's only logical Youtube would ban anti-mask people, just like anti-vax folks, because hey - guess what , we are Americans and smarter than some dumbass fake propaganda. At least most of us are. At least those smart enough are. Sad that so many people in this country aren't smart enough. Is it bad that the virus will kill so many of them? Debatable.
He was quoting Dr. Fauci.

When will they come out with a Rumble app for my LG TV?

Unless you've read any of the dozens of studies over the years which show that wearing masks are not effective in preventing infection from aerosol respiratory viruses.

I'm just so tired trying to explain to this to people that their mask doesn't work, while they argue with their stupid mask, which keeps falling below their nose, blows air out thru the top fogging up their glasses, and is so loose fitting you can see the gaps along the sides.

Maybe an N95 mask works passably, if it's attached to an anatomical test dummy in a controlled environment in a science lab. But put that same mask on your average person, and it's about useless as useless can be.

If you voice any opinion that differs from the government's message then you are putting out "misinformation".

One voice...only one voice is allowed.

OMG, that has to the the least realistic comment I have ever read. joe's staff is comprised of buffoons, many of which were picked either for identity check marks or strict allegiance to the party line. The massive inflation, rampant illegal immigration, possible combat developing with Russia, gas prices, food prices and our embarrassing exit from Afghanistan all point to the poor choices biden has made in staffing.

Trump had many issues with staff, because unlike joe, he picked people who had their own opinions. I have never seen a more obvious indicator of how much politics has become a team event, than the continual defense of joe, who is clearly the most inept president America has ever seen.

Yep! If you can breathe cold air while wearing a mask, then it isn't doing a darn thing!
