I'd like to apologize to user/magnora7 for suggesting that censorship is the domain of fascist leftists. There is in fact this right wing fascist site that ejaculates to the same strokes.

I maintain that all the seats of real power in the western world today are held by fascist leftists though, and as such leftist censorship is what we should all be concerned about. I hope magnora7, his 6 alternate accounts, and any other leftists here will stand with me against all censorship. That they could look past partisan barriers and call out the flaws in their own ranks. And one day when the pendulum swings back the other way I will stand with them to denounce right wing authoritarianism just the same.

I think you're blowing things out of proportion. https://thedonald.win is designed from the ground-up as a website for Donald Trump supporters. They explicitly state in the rules that they're purely a fan site, not designed for "debate".

I'm a conservative, but I wouldn't feel morally wronged if I got banned for posting a comment critical of Bernie Sanders on a Bernie Sanders fan site. They own the website, they clearly say the website is only for Bernie Sanders supporters, and it's their right to ban me if I'm not one.

The problem comes when extremely popular websites (like Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit) start banning and censoring content, especially when they claim to be unbiased. No one can honestly say thedonald.win is on the same level or even in the same category as reddit. Reddit is ranked in the top 20 sites in the entire world according to Alexa - TheDonald.win isn't even in the top 10,000. Reddit gets over 150 million views every single day and $3 billion in revenue every year - I'd be amazed if TheDonald even makes a thousandth of that. Reddit claims to be unbiased but censors thousands of people based on a far-left bias (which includes the original subreddit TheDonald.win is inspired by) - TheDonald has never claimed to be anything other than a Donald Trump fan site.

I maintain that all the seats of real power in the western world today are held by fascist leftists though, and as such leftist censorship is what we should all be concerned about.

This is the crux of it, and why I can't see singling out TheDonald.win as an honest apples-to-apples comparison. It makes no sense to bemoan this as if it's remotely comparable to leftist censorship on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or many other platforms.

Cheers. The mark of a wise man is someone who updates their understanding of the world when presented with new information. I have gained a lot of respect for you for updating your understanding of the world when new information has come to light. Good on you

Leftists means what? Your country has been rulled by royal purple since reconstruction.

It means left wing collectivist.

They don't believe in individual freedom. Everything is group identity politics. They spin everything into group power struggles. They push an anti white narrative that claims white people have all the power and are therefore responsible for everything including the struggles of non white people. While at the same time they don't deserve credit for anything good because that is simply a result of their power. And so everything they have can be attributed to the abuse of power and assumed to have been stolen from non white people or created through exploitation of non white people. And they seek to turn the tables and make white people subjects of non white people.

Their propaganda centers around the claim that inequality is the result of corruption and that their efforts are merely to rectify these inequalities. However, there is always a double standard to every claim such that if there is an inequality that favors a non white person that is not something that should be rectified.

Collectivism on a local utilitarian scale, like Yeshua's communal and house churches is a great system. But asking the government to do this on a grand scale and by force is ridiculous.

Like solzhenitsyn said, people have forgotten God.

Do things in humbleness and seek out Yeshua's teachings and a far better world would develop. Instead we have Republicans and Democrats who are anti-Christ.

I'm not religious but agree 100%. Small groups of vetted individuals can gain immense benefits from working together. You get diminishing returns the bigger the group is and the more open it is to inducting outsiders. Once the group is bigger than 50-100 people and you are forced into groups it becomes a huge detriment. The predators take advantage of the sheep, and that in turn makes everyone avoid doing work and instead try and take as much advantage as possible.

Yeshua did have hundreds in his communal as did the apostles but they based their approach on Yeshua's doctrine. If capitalism took the helm within a communal it would be quite hard to maintain a utilitarian lifestyle without fallibility and human greed taking over. With Yeshua's instruction in mind, then, work for a communals wealth-fare would be a fairly easy achievement.
