There's some cretins in that list who definitely shouldn't be encouraged to leave the cesspool that is Reddit, e.g. 'VoiceYourConviction' (that blatantly trollish, openly homo and self-described 'Liberal' who posts Guardianista or Salon-style talking points everywhere) and 'PlagueDoctorD'.

We need to separate ourselves from the Left in everything. We don't need to endure their insufferable presences. We shouldn't be contributing to their ad revenue on sites like YouTube. We've been through with peaceful coexistence for a long time, but the infrastructure wasn't in place to extricate ourselves, so we remained on the mainstream platforms out of necessity.

Right now we're in a full-blown far-Left revolution to go from near-absolute power to absolute power, and they need exercise no violence to go this last stretch in doing what much of the early USSR did at gunpoint. Just look at the last few weeks—a rapid growth in the number of films and books (even things as innocuous as Gone With The Wind) effectively banned, brands caving in to pressure to change their names or logos, even black leftists like Van Jones are being 'cancelled' for the tiniest transgressions, statues being torn down, and mass deplatforming that is far too well-coordinated to be random (YouTube banned AmRen and plenty of other channels at practically the same time as the Reddit bans, Twitch apparently banned Trump at the same time. I'm not sure what purpose Trump would actually have for something like Twitch).

The corporations are totally at the Left's mercy, and they know it. Why else would guys like Bezos express the opinions that he does about BLM, knowing that as a 'rich White man' he'd be one of the first on the chopping block when the far-Left, having absolute power, begin using it to go after people? Amazon, Google... they'd all be crushed like ants if they reasoned that on the present course they're slowly slitting their own wrists, so they meekly submit hoping that they'll somehow be spared.

Yeah, someone just scraped all the comments at some point.

(Though they are)

The "left" serves big business, and not the other way around. They've taken this opportunity to purge more classical leftists (chapo/cumtown) too. All of this woke tranny shit started really taking off in response to Occupy Wall Street. BLM lost all of its funding before, when their leaders said that they wouldn't work with the ADL (since they train every police department in America). They've only been resurrected now to distract people from the impending economic collapse/famine.

First thing out of the way quick—I've searched a few names on there and they're missing (and don't appear to be in the 'removed names' either), including the name I used on there.

As for the more important topic, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. Sure, they banned a bunch of subreddits with 'ChapoTrapHouse (insert number)'. The last one was something like 'ChapoTrapHouse101'. For all we know, they could have just made and banned those themselves to give some semblance of being unbiased—it's obvious that not all 101 actually had active user-bases. Most likely they were just placeholders to migrate to when their main sub was banned. They probably banned about, oh, two active far-Left subs, practically every far-Right sub and some contrarian Left (e.g. r/GenderCritical [TERFs] and r/rightwingLGBT) subs. Probably just to pacify Trump: 'See, you don't have to worry about bias against conservatives because we banned 101 far-Left subreddits too. It's all in safe hands, we promise, there's no need for more regulations'. Literally all of the other anarchist, socialist and Communist subreddits are still there.

Now, let's consider the following scenarios. What happens if:

  1. Corporate America turns against the Left.
  2. The Left turns against Corporate America.

In scenario 1, Corporate America loses. The Left is so vast that deplatforming them is impossible—they have almost the entirety of the education system and the media sector, for starters. The Democrats would start threatening to nationalize any offending business, and if Biden wins they'd be in a good position to do it. Most of their employees wouldn't be sympathetic and plenty of them would leave, either out of disagreement or because their friendship circles would 'cancel' them if they remained employed.

In scenario 2, Corporate America still loses. A string of women come out and accuse the likes of Bezos and Dorsey of sexual assault, etc. All these guys like Bezos and Dorsey get pressured more and more to resign, and are replaced, usually by women or non-Whites. Eventually, Corporate America is ran into the ground, after 'diversity hires' get to the top of every corporation.

Any business that goes against the Left is toast. Any business the Left picks a fight with is also toast. I don't even remotely see how the Left could be considered subordinate to capitalism. Rich Leftists seem indifferent to it, getting what they can out of the system while it lasts; most other Leftists utterly hate it. Practically all of them believe that capitalism is merely a transitory phase to socialism, and that trying to stall this 'inevitable' progression is literally defending oppression.

Surely such a coordinated, cross-platform deplatforming is the result of people like the SPLC (who seem to 'advise', i.e. decide, everything), and little to do with the tech CEOs themselves. They're just smart enough to know what happens if they're interpreted as insufficiently kowtowing to the Left.

The mainstream left serves capital, just like the mainstream right. It's the kosher sandwich in action. The prominent left wing ideology isn't concerned with class. It's advocacy for all sorts of hedonism, individualism, and alienation. The point of feminism, multiculturalism, and sexual liberation is to make it impossible for the greater society to unify against these bourgeois parasites. Amazon diversifies their warehouses and grocery stores to prevent unionization. It does ultimately come down to a profit motive, but not always directly. Even if interracial porn loses money, they feel like the effect it has on the culture will allow them to make all that money back, and then some, in the long run.

In scenario 2, Corporate America still loses. A string of women come out and accuse the likes of Bezos and Dorsey of sexual assault, etc. All these guys like Bezos and Dorsey get pressured more and more to resign, and are replaced, usually by women or non-Whites.

Lots of women make all sorts of claims, but these stories never go anywhere unless the establishment wants them to. Look at how they covered for Jeffrey Epstein for decades. Who do you think owns the media? Certainly not Jeff Bezos...
