  • Snowflakes at YouTube call Citizens using thier right to vote an act of terrorism

    a youtuber had one of his videos demonetized because he discussed the record GOP turn out and Trumps Townhall ratings. The left is crazy

    https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1...375902722?s=20
    Youtube decided that my video talking about massive GOP voter turnout and Trump's town hall ratings constituted discussion of "modern acts of terror" and demonetized my video

    Youtube's algorithms have reached the point of nonsensical. Left-wing youtubers I watch get their videos demonitized regularly for bogus and vague reasons and when they click the 'appeal' button they simply get told the decision stands, but get no further information as to what caused the bizarre decision in the first place.

    The left is crazy
    You are crazy. What on earth does this have to do with the left? When it rains or doesn't rain do you blame that on the left?
    "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
    "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
    "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

      This from the leftist who is crazy enough to think Stalin was far right. and yes the occasional leftwing you tuber gets caught up in the purge but the vast majority of those effected are moderates like Tim Pool(who is a moderate on the left side) and those on the right.

        YouTube's abuse algorithms are notoriously easy to abuse because of their level of automation. A few years ago a group of atheists got together and got William Lane Craig's channel taken down for awhile. Eventually it got restored once an actual human looked at it.

        I am sympathetic to automatic administration, though. I administrate parts of Reddit, some fairly high profile. There was one person going around the site posting on self help/depression subreddits encouraging people to commit suicide. There were dozens of such posts he had made. No upper level admin in site. I was wishing something automated could have stopped him.

          Hense why I said the Left is crazy becase they falsly reported discussion of something good about the Republicans and trump as being discussion about terrorism

            Leftists, which is where speech codes have run amok, aren't interested in discussion. They want to silence all dissent lest anyone question their lunacy.

            This is actually quite a shame in that the whole Freedom of Speech movement of the 60s originated from the left. It was one of the things I respected them for.

            I'm always still in trouble again

              I agree with Starlight and KingsGambit on this one, Youtube is run almost entirely by algorithms. I've seen right-wingers successfully silence feminists, and I'm not surprised that toxic leftists are also doing the same.

                Dont let the leftist biased MSM fool you though leonhard there are more toxic leftist then right wingers trying to silence the opposition you just don't hear about them because it does not fit CNN's, MSNBC etc false narrative in fact the toxic Left will attack their own if someone dares go against the left orthodoxy.

                  What is the MSM? I also don't read CNN or MSNBC.

                  At any rate I didn't learn about right-wingers silencing leftists from the media, I learned it from the communities that were attacked rather successfully by right-wingers who found out how to abuse the 'report' function on youtube.

                  I know you're upset about liberals doing the same thing, but the real issue is that Youtube right now isn't really monitored that much by actual humans, so there's surprisingly little oversight and the algorithms they've implemented are easy to abuse. That is the real problem, the actual abuse going on is more of a symptom of that.

                      I don't read any of those including Fox.

                        and now we have the likes of Starlight who thinks Antifa with it's violent reaction to free speech of others is ok; because after all as his fellow snowflakes on the left say Speech is violence so we have a right to use physical violence against those who speak about things we don't want to hear

                          How often do you hear about the left attacking the right Leonhard from your news sources? Not often I suspect from what you said earlier and Leonhard especially here in America where it is more likely to be a left on right attack then then the opposite . but you won't see that because the MSM won't report anything that does not go along with their false narrative of White man is evil and anything coming from white culture is bad. it has been happening for a long time here in fact in the 90's CNN was known as the Clinton News Network among those who saw their bias back then which was shown by how and what they were reporting.

                            He's a kindred spirit having expressed a desire to punch "Nazis" in the face, but as anyone who has read his posts can see he tends to think that those who disagree with him are in effect Nazis.


                            I guess that kind of can be expected when you think that Joseph Stalin was a right winger.

                              I didn't hear about right-wingers shutting down leftists from the media. I heard it from the forums where those who were affected posted. The only times I ever heard about left's using the same techniques has been from the media.

                              Now, outside of my general descriptions, have you heard of leftists getting shut down by right-wingers?

                              but you won't see that because the MSM won't report anything that does not go along with their false narrative
                              Rumtumtggr, I don't know what to tell you, but I don't subscribe to or read any of the media you listed.
