It’s a situation so funny that a growing number of ostracized comics forgot to laugh: Conservative-leaning material, they say, is increasingly subject to arbitrary online censorship by Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media giants—treatment that appears to have no other explanation except the targets’ bucking of leftist orthodoxy.
Openly conservative stand-up Nick Di Paolo got suspended from YouTube for supposedly sharing false information, after ridiculing the left’s exaggerations of the virus in attacking former President Donald Trump.
Comedian Chrissie Mayr’s video mocking China’s handling of COVID-19—“Kung Flu Fighting”—was erased by Instagram, which deemed it “hate speech,” despite featuring a diverse lineup of comics.
The Babylon Bee, the right’s online answer to the satirical site The Onion, has been at war with Facebook for years. The social media giant intermittently threatens to deplatform the site for spoof articles that moderators apparently take seriously, such as its 2018 report that CNN had purchased industrial-sized washing machines to better “spin” the news.
Online censorship threats are a bread-and-butter concern for comedians because their economic dependence on social media has only increased as many stand-up clubs remain shuttered due to the pandemic and TV gigs remain a distant dream. For them, online business is the bottom line.
Keri Smith, co-host of the “Unsafe Space” podcast, a booker for progressive comics before disavowing woke culture, says the only complaints about censorship she hears are from comics who don’t toe progressives’ social justice line.
“I can’t think of any comics on the left who face something similar,” Smith says.
Like ive said before this crap is pure hatred for GOD. Baal is in desperation trying to drag many away from the truth and light!! The symbolgy mostly goes unnoticed but it is these events (superbowl halftimes are full of satanic symbolgy) & institution logos etc are their ALTARs.Have you seen the new Face book commercial with the balancing goat, goat tatoo on the guys chest…WOW suttle to the ignorant but they are fully out and open with this luciferian sickness
Who are the goats?
The lost, the unredeemed, those who have rejected Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. A goat or goats head is the symbol of Satanism. In fact, a satanic group has erected a nearly 9ft tall statue of Baphomet in Detroit, Michigan.
Those on the left outnumber those on the right by hundreds of Millions, perhaps Billions. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
Big T is too big for its britches. Need to be cut down a few notches.
