Guilty until proven innocent... effected by "private" interests who are invoking their Constitutional right to serve as judge, jury, and executioner and administer economic punishment before a matter is litigated. Government's tyranny privatized... fascism.

Regardless, the various allegations are so bad that companies appealing to Rumble's mysogynist fascists won't stoop any lower.

Everything you people disagree with is fascism except the very people you support that continue to engage on fascist behavior

you people

Who?

people you support

Who?

You're merely repeating the far right's fallacy of "REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM"

That and other moronic far right fallacies explained here. (You also don't know me. Don't assume you do.)

TIL: Burger King is a firm. Also it does not support free speech or due process. I am done with Burger King which is kind of a shame but the other two "firms" I have never heard of and will continue to not do business with them either.

Hello Fresh does home delivery of food ready to prepare and cook.

Not sure you waited until now to be done with them, you clearly must have slept on the many times they faggotized their french fry packaging to push a leftist agenda.

Because I believe in free speech, like their food and never notice any "faggotitized" french fry packaging. Not sure I would recognize it if I did but as long as the fries taste the same I wouldn't let my french fry container's sexual orientation stop me if I wanted Burger King.

Pity. I liked Burger King. But I can do better myself, anyway.

And the divide continues. People who watch Rumble will become the people who don't go to places like Burger King. As that divide grows, more and more people will consciously divide themselves out of the fascist system that Burger King et al represent. Then one of two things happens: the fascist system crushes them or they create a successful rebellion and the system falls.

So it wasn't about taking down Brand, it's about taking down Rumble? That makes more sense. It's been growning to the point where it's a real threat to those who used to have power over social media, as the 2024 US election approaches.

Was surprised to see that he had over 1.5 million followers on Rumble, must be one of the biggest channels on there, if not the biggest?

        I don't remember doing that but it is possible I did I guess.

        I checked SimilarWeb's traffic estimations for Rumble, and it's not that small actually - 170M monthly visits, global rank #271 (reddit: 1900M monthly visits). So 10% of Reddit's traffic roughly.

        There's a couple of podcasts I watch on there because YouTube keeps removing random episodes for no reason.

        *for reasons.

        I bet you even if he's booted off rumble, the advertisers who left won't return.

        Pussified vermin. No one gives a shit about Russell Brand, esp anyone on Rumble.

        These pussified companies should learn from what happened to Target and Bud Light.
