The Left is freaking out after journalists like Keith Olbermann and Aaron Rupar, are being held to the same standard as everyone else when it comes to doxxing.

But Sean Davis's of The Federalist has a great thread on the hypocrisy of those who only get upset when their team gets a penalty:

All we wanted was one set of rules. Rules that allowed us to say things like, "Men can't become women," or "universal mail-in balloting seems sketchy," or linking a New York Post story about the corrupt foreign business dealing's of a Democrat candidate's 50-year-old son. (1/x)

While we were feverishly fighting that battle, scores of court eunuchs on the Right joined hands with the Left and screeched about how Twitter and Facebook and Google can ban and censor whoever they want because muh private company and also because Trump is icky. (2/x)

When the New York Post, which was founded by Alexander Hamilton, was banned (along with anyone who shared its reporting on Hunter Biden), many of these same people shrugged at best or sided with the Left and its lies about NYP's reporting at worst. (3/x)

When the sitting president of the United States was banned from Twitter and Facebook after posting a video calling for peace and denouncing violence, the self-declared free speech warriors busted out their soapboxes and lectured on the propriety of Big Tech's censorship. (4/x)

The Babylon Bee ban, in which a Christian satire site was banned for calling a man a man, was also illustrative. Oh, sure it's troubling, they tut-tutted. Bu
t what can you do? Twitter's a private company, and also mocking insane trans ideology is mean. (5/x)

And then there's the ongoing, coordinated banning and shadow-banning of millions of normal people whose only crime is not going along with whatever narrative
is being jammed down the country's throat by the current regime. Where was the plea for fairness for them? (6/x)

Years and years of censorship of their own readers and contributors barely rated a yawn, but when suddenly a handful of left-wing journos get busted for doxx
ing that led to Musk's kid getting attacked? WELL NOW. Suddenly their principles require them to say something. (7/x)

When people describe conservatism as a defeat mechanism, or as progressivism driving the speed limit, this is what they are talking about. Standing athwart h
istory, yelling, "I'm not like those other icky people on the right. I'm one of the Good Ones™." (8/x)

Auron MacIntyre explains this phenomenon further:

Conservatives can't be the party of controlled opposition. Stop playing defense by letting the Left define reality.

Teachers, 1980s: "If you're invited somewhere by a stranger, who shows you adult material, or tries to talk to you about sexual stuff, run away tell your parents!"

Teachers, 20202s: "We've invited a stranger to the school to show you adult material and talk to you about sexual stuff. Don't run away or tell your parents!"

@AmericanKulak That's great meme material. Had to abbreviate a bit to fit it in.

Wow! China is ruled by a party that never apologizes! How unusual. China is so different from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the USA, right? Did NY Times ever apologize for lying about Covid, vaccines, and so on? Not that I remember. ...

I applaud Chinese people for wanting to keep Covid Criminals accountable. I am surprised that NY Times is so blind as not to see me, you, and thousands of people like us asking for Covid justice and reckoning right here.

We are crazy right-wing conspiracy theorists asking for Nuremberg 2.0. We do not deserve justice, accountability, reckoning, and apologies, according to NY Times and our censors.

The Chinese people, of course, do deserve apologies and reckoning, says NY Times.

We demand censorship and need to have misinformation stamped out, say NY Times censors while thanking the Biden administration for taking care of the social networks...

Patrick says

Did they apologize for being "mistaken" about a weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq? Did they apologize for re-introducing slavery to Libya? Did they apologize for claiming, falsely, there was a chemicals weapons attack in Douma, Syria after 2 OPCW experts blew the whistle? Did they apologize for overthrowing Ukraine in 2014, or even admit it? Did they apologize for bailing out criminals in our financial sector in 2007?

They have a pretty clear pattern if you just open your eyes and dare to look.

Our government is a mafia, and our "news" media is their PR firm.

Nice Pat! Don't know how I missed this one. Am Stealing.

AmericanKulak says

You know, this was probably written by an FBI propagandist, and not a real person.

The whole "I love the intelligence agencies!!" on the left, is probably 90% PR firms as well.

Patrick says

Pretty sure these easily spottable contradictions are by design in preparing people for the modern day 1984. The more people they can get to say "we're at war with Oceania!" just a few weeks after it was "we're at war with Eurasia!" the better for them, it means the conditioning is working. Never criticize your own government, always turn on the Emmanuel Goldsteins and foreign nations! This is full on orwellian npc shit.

In the book 1984, this was accomplished by destroying the past. That was the job of Winston Smith at the Ministry of Truth.

But what we have today, is the ability for any individual to store any amount of content, permanently. Winston Smith had a little diary, which was illegal. I have a little SD Card, which can contain more books than the NYC library.

True, but the majority of people do still get their newest from major outlets and they are drowned by the sheer amount of information so they don't do research and are happy to accept 180 degrees "course corrections" as truth. Even in 1984 people had the truth in their memories despite the erasing/altering of the past, but they were conditioned to truly believe that 2+2 can be 5.

There were 3 classes remember. The Proles - the lowest class, the Outer Party - the middle class, and The Inner Party - the upper class.

The slogans for the Inner Party are all correct and not contradictory. War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery. Provided the country was at war, the Inner Party had peace, provided that the Outer Party and Proles were Ignorant, the Inner Party had strength, provided the that Outer Party and Proles were slaves, the Inner Party had freedom.

What 1984 didn't have, was a technological society. IF we lose our access to technology, the Inner Party won't, and then we really will be slaves. The white collar twats, they're the Outer Party.

This is the REAL reason we have things like Linux, Raspberry PI boxes, SD Cards, flash drives, encryption, open source FPGA chips, etc. You don't need a fancy machine to communicate and store information. A $5 box is just fine.

It is VITALLY important to use open standards, UNLICENSED programs, and Open Source operating systems. We knew this 30 years ago, and we've been warning ever since. People won't listen until they realize they should have listened. They all think "oh, you're being paranoid" - I've SEEN what companies will do. The whole purpose of Facebook, Twitter, and Google is mind control - control what you see, and control what you can find - still people whine that Facebook, Twitter, and Google do censorship - of course they do, that's why they were built.

You know why you can get a "free email" account so easily? Because it's monitored, by a computer, or an individual if you set off some flags. Don't you ever wonder why P2P encryption in email isn't standard? Because companies are paid not to implement it, although it's been around for 25 years. Still, it DOES exist, just not in MS Office, or Google email, or Yahoo! email, or Apple - for SOME reason. Why do you think that is?

Until people actually are FORCED to see the problem, they won't be proactive to adopt a solution. It's fucking maddening. This was all foreseen decades ago, but the EXTENT of it, I never imagined. I never imagined that political censorship would be in the open. That's OK though, it's easy to go underground.

BTW - what do you think the Democratic Party means when they say "Diversity is Strength"? Pretty easy to figure out when you realize that another saying is "Divide and Conquer"... Unity against them is a threat to them.

Technology is a double edged sword but we should never restrict it as it also helps people to find and preserve truth for next to nothing. I just think that it's difficult to set people free when center educational chokepoints are staffed with party handlers to indoctrinate kids. Think about how difficult it is for a school kid to go against the grain and not support the current thing. Here the party has been modeling from 1984 pretty well in the past decades with political diversity among the modern youth comparable to that of the hitler youth at its time, i.e. hardly existent. The slogans definitely make sense depending on who is looking at them

Pretty standard for American propaganda although it normally works in reverse. Generally the US installs a puppet leader somewhere, they go rogue, and they are the next Hitler. It happened to Fidel Castro, and Saddam Hussein.

The Left: What do you mean "YOU PEOPLE"!

Also the Left: "Hey we're giving you people a whole month for Black History, so everyone will know how great You People are. "

"Should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?" he asked reporter Amol Rajan. "I'm comfortable with the idea that not only am I not part of the problem by paying for the offsets, but also through the billions that my Breakthrough Energy Group is spending, that I'm part of the solution."

He acts like there are only two options, either he flies on his private jet to Kenya or the world burns up. Do you mean to tell me the computer guy has never heard of Zoom?

Looking at AOC's wide open mouth, understand that a white dick regularly enters that orifice.

Surprisingly enough Bidet did keep most of Trump's anti-CCP policies intact. This is the one they didn't pursue initially, but looks like they might do it too.

There is plenty of space for 2-3 of these there.
