Now that President Trump has effectively crushed CNN’s ratings to the point where The Upholstery Channel and reruns of “Ancient Aliens” have more viewers, he’s setting his sights on a bigger target: The social media Speech Nazis at Facebook, Apple, Google, Twitter etc.
While Facebook continues to insist that it’s not biased against conservatives, the company is facing a miniature revolt from the 0.004% of its employees who do not sexually identify as progressives, ornate buildings or yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin. (Hello, ladies!)
Senior product engineer Brian Amerige posted an internal memo on Facebook’s message boards titled, “We Have a Problem with Political Diversity.” Amerige, who identifies as an Ayn Rand-style Objectivist (well, it’s better than an ornate building) says that Facebook is a “political monoculture” that is intolerant of all non-left-leaning ideologies.
The message board was immediately swamped with claims of racism because that’s the only argument liberals have in their gun these days. However, about 100 Facebook employees have joined the discussion group in solidarity with Amerige.
Facebook and the other tech Speech Nazis continue to quadruple down and claim that they’re not censoring conservative voices. They were unable to reach Alex Jones for comment because they had censored him across all their platforms.
Here’s a quick research project that anyone can do from home to test the Speech Nazis’ claims. On one sheet of paper, write down the names of all Democrat candidates, politicians, political action committees, nominal celebrities, discussion groups and websites that have seen their Facebook traffic go down since January 20, 2017. We’ll wait. Oh, okay, sure, just leave that page blank until later. We’re sure you’ll find something eventually.
On a second sheet of paper, write down the names of all conservatives and conservative groups that say their Facebook traffic has gone up since January 20, 2017. Hmmm… another blank sheet of paper.
No Democrat, progressive, or left-leaning weirdo who sexually identifies as a yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin has had their Facebook traffic throttled, restricted or banned in the last two years. Facebook wouldn’t even ban the “Kill Trump, Hang Him, Hunt Him” club when it was reported back in April, claiming that the group did not violate its Community Standards.
Meanwhile, every conservative group on the planet – and yes, we mean on the planet; conservatives in Poland have seen their traffic throttled – is being effectively strangled in the crib by Mark Zuckerberg and his coalition of tech titans. Western Journal, Gateway Pundit, 100%FedUp, Breitbart News, the Daily Caller and yours truly, along with many, many other conservative news outlets have seen their Facebook traffic drop catastrophically since last year. In most cases, their lost page views are in the 75 to 95% range. For Alex Jones and others who have been completely censored, it’s 100%.
Google is no better, despite its denials. President Trump demolished all of Google’s protestations with a 24-second video the other day. Every single year, Google provided a link beneath its search box pointing people to watch Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. In 2017 and 2018, Google didn’t want anyone to watch President Trump’s State of the Union, so it simply didn’t provide a link.
The tech geeks have to be spilling their soy lattes all over their skinny jeans right now, because the President of the United States is not kidding around. Trump has us wondering what he’s going to do next in this situation.
History has shown that “not knowing what Trump’s going to do” is always great for America and bad news for Trump’s enemies. The president said that he is not looking at regulation for the Speech Nazis, but that he wants them to be fair. Uh oh! If he’s not looking at regulation, then he has something else in mind.
It was all fun and games when the tech dorks thought they could kick around everyday conservatives – and they probably laughed out loud as they outright banned Alex Jones and others. It’s not going to be as much fun for them when the Trumpinator figuratively kicks down their front door and asks to see the status of all of their H1B visa holders who are obediently holding down jobs that should have gone to Americans.
Come to think of it, that’s a great idea!
Memo to President Trump and Jeff Sessions:
Please check the visa status of all foreign employees at Facebook, Google, etc. While you’re at it, please remember that there are thousands of American software engineers who are currently out of work in Silicon Valley. They lost their jobs to low-wage foreign H1B visa holders and this is very unfair. Restricting H1B visas to tech companies could put a lot of Americans back to work in good-paying jobs. Love, America
That would be a win-win for America! How many James Damores and Brian Ameriges are working at five cruddy part-time jobs in Silicon Valley right now because the Speech Nazis at Big Tech fired them? We know the number is in the thousands.
Zuckerberg is one of America’s biggest supporters of open borders, because he likes hiring cheaper help from foreign countries. He’s no dummy. He sees the rise of pro-America patriotism – Trumpism, if you wish – as a threat to the big pile of money that he sleeps on in his volcano lair.
Zuckerberg says his platform is fair. He says he doesn’t silence conservative voices. Sure, Mark. We believe you.
For those who don’t remember, we’ll leave you with this IM exchange between Mark Zuckerberg and his buddies when they first had Facebook up and running as an experiment at Harvard:
ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard
ZUCK: just ask
ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?
ZUCK: people just submitted it
ZUCK: i don’t know why
ZUCK: they “trust me”
ZUCK: dumb f**ks
Sleep tight, Mark. President Trump doesn’t want to regulate your business.
