    The post was blocked/banned not the person. Also it was to promote an event not because the name was used. Search his name of Facebook or Twitter loads of results.

    Thanks yeah have asked this before in other threads but it is notable how right wingers fall for the most obvious spoofers.

    There are plenty of spoofers out there selling to liberal types.

    A good example is the Goop stuff sold by Gwyneth Palthrow. The same products are also sold by Alex Jones although with different branding due to the different markets. I'm not sure how Jones rebrands the vagina stones but he might be able to get some help from Gavin McInnes who shoved a dildo up his arse (NSFW) to own the libs.

    Yeah, I know. I'm doing my best here to find the lefty version of the Alt-Right characters but it's not that easy. There isn't really an analogue as much as they try to elevate the likes of Soros and antifa as being influential in the minds of liberal types.

    Can we all at least agree that Gavin McInnes shoving a dildo up his arse is just so Gavin McInnes? Was it a dragon dildo or just plain? No way I'm clicking that link.

    Looks like more than just Jones are getting kicked off fb

    It's especially good to see Milo on that list. May he live the rest of his days in abject poverty for spreading the hateful nonsense that he did.

    A bit more research tells me I have to retract my statement...I was wrong.

    You cannot mention Alex Jones in a positive manner, but you can criticise him.

    Disapproving of Israeli politics =/= Anti Semitic. But you know that, and you're just panicking in all the other things you've gotten wrong too.

    For example, I'm not a fan of the Chinese Government and it's policies, but that does not mean I'm racist towards the Chinese people.

    Can you read? He said 'Pro Israel' not 'pro Israeli politics'

    Sounds Anti Semitic to me.

    Generally such statements are in reference to Israeli foreign policy. So you're making shorthand statements into something far more.

    Now again, can you provide proof about your claim positive remarks about Jones result in bans on any social media platform?

    You must be thinking of Alex Jones. According to the ADL:
    After the violent alt-right protest in Charlottesville, Va., a year ago, Mr. Jones announced that he suspected that many of the attendees were actually “leftist Jews” in disguise, there to discredit white supremacists and incite violence. “Literally, they’re just Jewish actors,” he said of the white supremacists. “They all look like Howard Stern.”

    You might forgive me for thinking that your appeal to anti-semitism isn't in good faith.

    Jones ex wife and therefore his children are Jewish so I doubt somehow that he is Anti Semitic.

    In fact if you anything at all about him you would know that the biggest criticism of him for many years from the 'Alt Right' is his Pro Israel, Pro Jewish stance.

    He is also widely regarded to be a 'Mossad disinformation agent'

    Again anyone with the slightest amount of knowledge about him would know this

    That's because unlike the 'alt right', the left and the centre aren't a cult. Much of the rest of the right isn't either, but they're getting drowned out,which is has to be said is in no small part due to failing to make much noise criticising the far right among them.

    There's a reason why you see the same devoted cultists in here talking about "the left are eating themselves!!" whenever there is disagreement about anything among those on the left (or between the left and centre, both of which the far right consider 'leftist'), and it's because they view dissent or disagreement of any sort as weakness.

    Hence all the 'solidarity brother' type bullsh*t you see spread among them online also... they view solidarity as more important than themselves or their own interests, which is pretty standard behaviour in a cult. It also goes some way to explain why they repeatedly support things that are actively against their own interests, for no other reason than "everyone else does... solidarity brother!". You can spot these easily, even here in AH, as they become utterly unable to talk about anything that isn't a regurgitated talking point in their far right social media circles. Like, for example, using that alt right Aussie clown from a few posts up as a source.

    And when that cult is so reactionary hostile to those that leave, and happily support terrorism, death threats and violence to those who stand against them, you can see why leaving might not be as easy as it seems. Especially after years of buying deeper and deeper into the Cult, being more and more hateful to those around them, to the point of having cut off contact with many non alt right cultists that were in their lives previously.

    That is the reality for many in the alt right, they are trapped in a violent cult of misery and hatred. For the rest of us, we are free to have disagreements with people on certain topics despite being on the same (or similar) ends of the political spectrum.

    Milo had his entire reputation ruined when he said it isn't sexual abuse for an adult to be in a relationship with a thirteen year old...(which it obviously is) So there's a certain irony in what you just posted...

    Anyway, still got no proof? Shocker!

    Its the nonsense mantra of the alt right. Time and time again this is the sentence what the logic behind their arguments can be boiled down to.

    In this instance: "Poor old PJW, Alex Jones etc are the victims because someone else wasn't banned for something completely different... and it wasn't their fault they repeatedly broke the TOS, because the rules shouldn't apply to them as Facebook is a really big website."

    Since you'll probably ask me next as what's outery is also really popular, I do not condone that picture and wouldn't have issue with the person who put it up being banned.




    Edit: and lo and behold I see you ninja edited your post to include this:

    You are a predictable lot, victim complexes, what aboutery, disdain of personal accountability (but only for the alt right) and all.

    Lots of white racists have non-white friends and partners. It doesn't make them not racist. Roy Moore even has a jew lawyer, don'tya know.

    Where did I defend Milo? I happen to think he's a degenerate actually.

    But I do not think he should be banned for his political opinions

    Yes but isn't it a bit strange that the TOS don't address sexual depravity involving children. Or rather that the image I posted is not regarded by Facebook as sexual depravity involving children.

    He's not banned for political opinions.

    He was banned because he called for "vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight", defending paedophiles, bemoaning the fact that pipe bombs sent to Trump critics didn't explode and starting a hate campaign against Leslie Jones.

    Glad to hear you agree about what Milo said about relationships and children.

    Which means you will be disgusted by what the photo depicts and outraged that Facebook allow it yes?

    You're attributing it to political opinion. Eg Jones and Paul Joseph Watson actively spread stories that are untrue. They literally make up news. In the case of Jones it resulted in lives being ruined and Watson more often than not pushes a pretty racist agenda. That's pretty reasonable grounds to lob them off the service.

    Now got any proof of people being banned from Facebook because of positivity about Jones? Go on, prove it!

    It actually does I would assume, so it would be good to see that taken down also. But it took them years and years of Alex Jones hate mongering before they took him down, so you may be waiting a while.
