Fascism in Action: Here is the Tech Giant Purge List of Prominent Conservative Websites

[Tehon]

The funny thing is, the equivocation of companies and government, as though the have equivalent power over us - is totally a progressive point of view. I'd think the so-called conservatives here would be embarrassed by it.

Why should anyone be embarrassed for recognizing the power that corporations wield over us? I'm embarrassed for those who don't recognize it. It seems so obvious.

I don't mind you guys griping about Google refusing to broadcast your views, but you're trying equivocate on it as though it's a Constitutional freedom of speech issue, and it simply isn't.

You guys? My views? Please. Nor have I suggested it is a constitutional issue. My argument is strictly on principle.

"Clearly the 1st Amendment is ignored by these companies. Is it time for an Internet Bill of Rights? Those who say it isn't needed have yet to offer a viable alternative."

They are private companies.

But they are monopolies that dwarf Standard Oil or US Steel. These Robber Barons could buy and sell Carnegie or Rockefeller a thousand times over.

The reason these sites and their kindred Russian-backed conservative "news" sites are being affected is because they are the prime promulgators and propagandists of fake news.

Conservatives, for whatever reason, fall for this fake news and are easily manipulated. There is a reason Putin targeted them.

I guess when you are afraid of everything including your own shadow, you will believe any trash that comes your way.

You folks are coming for the guns now I see too.

Too bad you don't have a candidate like uncle Joe, eh?

Greatest Stalin quote there is, describing the democrat agenda exactly.

DON'T DROP THE SOAP.

Conservatives should be embarrassed by their ignorance of the law and unwillingness to admit that they’re wrong.

Their unwillingness to do so is likely because it’s progressives who are instructing them that there is no equivocation of companies and government, and that the doctrine of free speech exists solely between government and those governed.

Your better argument would be that government acts at the behest of corporations, where government places corporate interests before of that of the people – the recent GOP tax scam would be compelling evidence in support of that argument.

That is part of my argument. But their power isn't only contained in government, it's social as well.

It’s still a false comparison, however.

Indeed, in the context of private society, in our free and democratic society, its perfectly appropriate for corporate entities to seek to advance their corporate interests, to participate in public debate and discourse, and to attempt to influence public opinion in their favor – it’s ultimately the responsibility of the individual to determine the truth of the matter, and decide accordingly.

I, as an individual, have determined that our free and democratic society is somewhat of a mirage. This country, from its founding, was given to a certain class of individuals. The propertied class. We were only given universal suffrage once we had industrialized and the country could be run from its industrial centers.

Actually not.

If you notice it’s conservatives who want government to ‘crack down’ on ‘totalitarian’ private entities, opposed by progressives.

Opposed by progressives? LOL... right. and Starkey is a Republican.

Listen, I needle Republicans because they pretend to care about limited government and freedom, and really don't. Democrats don't even pretend.

Now which group of people and party does this sound like and mirror today

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

I wonder how many of the "conservatives" who are whining about the internet companies refusing to disseminate their propaganda would react if the tables were turned on their hypocritical asses? If we get a liberal backlash and Congress threatens to revoke NRAs tax exempt status. Would you cheer for that? Of course not. "It's different when we do it."

And those people call Trump "fascist"...
