The censorship on social media has mostly been to do with material that advocates violent overthrow of governments, or hate speech directed at jews, blacks, etc.

I'm sure there is still plenty of room for people arguing for a conservative point of view without the above...

Crowder has the biggest conservative show on social media. Do you know his opinions on it? Or have his arguments not had 'plenty of room' on your chosen platforms?

I'm not on any form of social media other than Ratz. My news mainly comes from our public broadcaster, the ABC (or it's smaller sister, SBN) or the Melbourne Age newspaper. The ABC news site is pretty comprehensive. I'm not interested in the slightest in right wing (or left wing, for that matter) podcasts and the like. I prefer calm, professional, accurate, neutral journalism, mainly in written form.

Yeah, that ain't it. It's more like a comedy show, like those evening variety shows.

He does have that one segment 'change my mind' which has taken off well. I also think it is a terrific thing for detractors. If they don't think he is right, they can sit down and tell him why. If they think he isn't fair, they can steal his format and do it themselves.

Very fair, at least the ones I've watched so far.

It looks like the whole channel has gone full replacement theory. The most popular "news" network in the US is actual fascist propaganda. Anyone who thought the Republicans might dial the crazy back a bit with Trump out is in for a rude awakening.

Yeahbut CNN.

No, no, this isn't fascistic at all! It's totally unfair to call MAGA a fascist movement!



Hard-right Republicans forming new caucus to protect 'Anglo-Saxon political traditions'

WASHINGTON — A group of ultra-conservative House Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, are discussing launching an "America First Caucus" that would protect "Anglo-Saxon political traditions."

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told reporters on Friday that he's "looking at" joining.

"There is an America First Caucus," he said, confirming that Greene is involved.

The formation of a caucus could be another sign of an emboldened faction of House Republicans who are known for nativist ideas and have been criticized by Democrats as racist.

A seven-page organizing document that includes the group's name and a logo, first reported by Punchbowl News, says: "America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions."

It adds that "societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country, particularly without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country."

The document also backs infrastructure projects — a topic currently being debated in Congress — as long as they befit "the progeny of European architecture, whereby public infrastructure must be utilitarian as well as stunningly, classically beautiful, befitting a world power and source of freedom."

Greene spokesman Nick Dyer confirmed that a platform is being written but complained about "dirty backstabbing swamp creatures" who leaked the document, and did not confirm or deny its authenticity.

"Be on the look out for the release of the America First Caucus platform when it’s announced to the public very soon," Dyer said.

GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar create 'America First Caucus' that emphasizes 'Anglo-Saxon political traditions'

Two Republican lawmakers worked together to create an "America First Caucus" that emphasizes "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions" and infrastructure that "befits the progeny of European architecture," Punchbowl News reported on Friday.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar collaborated to form the far-right caucus, whose aim is to "follow in President Trump's footsteps, and potentially step on some toes and sacrifice sacred cows for the good of the American nation," according to a document obtained by Punchbowl News.

GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is currently facing a federal sex-trafficking probe, announced his "proud" support for the group, tweeting, "We will end wars, stop illegal immigration & promote trade that is fair to American workers." Other Trump loyalists on Capitol Hill, like Reps. Barry Moore and Louie Gohmert, have also agreed to join the caucus, Punchbowl News reported.

"America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions," the document said in a section outlining its views on immigration.

It went on to say, without citing any evidence, that "societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country, particularly without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country."

The document also pushed the lie that immigrants who came to the US before 1965 were "more educated, earned higher wages, and did not have an expansive welfare state to fall back on when they could not make it in America and thus did not stay in the country at the expense of the native-born."

Yes, you were right. These are dangerous people.

As an Anglo-Saxon (with a dash of Scots), I say fuck 'em...

I just finished watching Man In The High Castle on Prime. This stuff is fresh in my mind.

No, no, this isn't fascistic at all! It's totally unfair to call MAGA a fascist movement!

What could be more utilitarian as well as stunningly, classically beautiful, befitting a world power than this?



Unfortunately, the designer, Albert Speer, died in 1981, so they'll have to find another architect.

Albert Speer

I know, right? That's exactly who I thought of when I read that part about architecture. It's all so on the nose...
