    Only need quote him, the guy is endless goldmine of far-right ****e

    This is the hive minded attitude of the far left I despise , just because one person said stupid and hateful things, all of them said it.

    You have giving me quotes from one person. When 99% of the proud boys would and have disavowed any of that rhetoric you've just posted in public and on video. It's just like me saying all muslims want to kill all apostates just because Allah said so.

    I know that's not true just like you know all proud boys aren't far right neo-nazis. You've created this little bubble in your mind of they're evil and we're good, making you a bigot and a fascist by definition.

    And since the far right extrenists and their sycophantic followers are literally the most predictable hypocrites on just about everything possible.... here they are trying to get others banned from Twitter.
    In a group in the messenger app Telegram, leader Enrique Tarrio encouraged his group to report anti-fascist Twitter accounts, some of which identified members of extremist groups. Tarrio accused some of the anti-fascists of “doxxing,” a loose term for revealing personal information. But in the same chat, Tarrio encouraged doxxing “commies” and announced a new campaign in which Proud Boys would allegedly collect information about undocumented immigrants and release it in response to tweets and articles they dislike.

    ...

    “With the developments today on the Joe Rogan podcast. It is important that you tweet @twittersupport on account(s) that we know are Antifa. Always use this link when tweeting,” Tarrio wrote, linking to a U.K. outlet’s article that falsely claimed “US security agencies label Antifa ‘domestic terrorists.’” (“Antifa” is a political stance, not an official group. The U.K. article incorrectly aggregated a Politico article that claimed the Department of Homeland Security classified actions of individual “anarchist extremists” as domestic terrorism.)

    And just like they are pretending Louis Farrakan and Saoradh just don't exist because it's inconvenient to their narrative, I can't help but notice that not one of the "free speech (for the far right only)" advocates on here seemed to care at all about it. If anything, I'm quite sure most of them outright support it and would have been reporting suspected antifa accounts when this occurred had they been aware of it.

    Just like different to Alex Jones and his website forum banning users, they know their cries of "free speech" are nothing but hypocritical lies. As is to be expected, because as I said they are a remarkably consistent bunch.

    A vast majority of the people took the Trump Russia gate propaganda as fact when it was all HUGE conspiracy. The same asinine people are lobbying for the banning of anyone who ever spoke about a conspiracy theory. Going by their logic, all media now be banned for spreading conspiracy theories.

    It is just me, or are you lot somewhat more upset about Alex Jones and PJW getting banned than Louis Farrakhan.

    In fact, doing a quick search of After Hours the mans name was only mentioned 3 times.

    Im not goint to explain every clip that Vic Berger posted to his twitter. It would be quicker to watch the video than read every explanation.

    Again, this fella that posted these clips about Gavin McInnes admitted that he edits the clips in a way to misrepresent what is actually happening! Just look at the guy, he is deranged! The sword thing for example, Gavin did not walking around NY brandishing a sword. He was leaving an event while a bunch or antifa were hurling bottles of urine at him. One hit his car just before he pulled a toy sword from his car and waved it at the antifa mob. He had the toy sword in his hand for a few seconds before he got back in his car.

    Exactly which part of the Trump Russia thing do you think was untrue? Most of it has been proven already. His son admitted to meeting the Russians to get dirt. Trump helped him cover it up and lied about it. Even if you don't believe in the Russia connection, the number of lies and obstruction attempts from Trump in relation to it should give you pause for concern at least.

    Why are you so committed to defending these people? They're clearly neo-Nazis.

    Right wing types have been bleating on and on here for years about how oppressed they are and how any sort of right wing opinion is dismissed as being racist and now we have people defending actual neo-Nazis.

    Now leftist propaganda want to ban people for different thinking crimes and that's totalitarian system. EU already censorship internet.
    They call everyone racist facist etc. but truly them become real facist like antifa.
    Leftist socialist communist are real problem in our times, plenty of them in Europe and USA
    Neo Nazi are left wing if you think there are right wing you are repeating Soviet propaganda.

    Watching a few alt-right videos also tends (or tended, maybe they've fixed the algorithim) to make your suggested youtube videos fill up with Ben Shapiro/Jordan Peterson/Styxenhammer666 DESTROYS SJW -type bollocks.


    Might explain why they are always so keen that you watch a 45 minute youtube video that 100% proves the point they can't be arsed making for themselves.

    I mean this is so unbelievably wrong, I don't know where to even begin.

    You're trying to argue that Facebook is breaking the law by banning people who explicitly break their terms of services because of some theoretical anti-discrimination laws.

    Some questions.

    Which laws are Facebook breaking?

    Which laws protect neo-nazi hate speech on private platform?

    I see you reference Ireland and Irish law. Do you realise that in Ireland while there is freedom of expression as laid out in Article 40.6.1 of the Irish constitution, the article qualifies this right, providing that it may not be used to undermine "public order or morality or the authority of the State"?

    The constitution also requires that the publication of "seditious, or indecent matter" be a criminal offence.
