How to use the left's media against itself

Political jiu-jitsu: Tim Pool talks about this leftist Reddit site mocking COVID vaccine resistors who got fired. But there happen to be a lot of frontline workers among those fired for refusing the vaccine. The trick to get the left to use it's media against themselves? Allow them the opportunity to mock you for doing good things.  They'll blow it up among themselves, and some of them might come to a realization that they are being complete...jerks, by denigrating people who have good intentions.  I mean not a lot of them, but anyone with any human decency would think twice about this sort of behavior.  They are potential future allies.

But even more importantly, would you have had any idea of the level of resistance to vaccine mandates if you had not seen this Reddit? 

Crowder suing Facebook

With the odds stacked against any sort of success, I still applaud Steven Crowder's move. This is an important exercise and with the Big Tech oligopoly aligned against Reddit users, conservative voters and in general anybody but themselves, this is important.  

Gamestop rebellion is because TRUMP. So says CNN.

Gamestop is a classic David and Goliath story.  CNN blames it on Trump.  No, really.  In case you missed it, here's what the Gamestop saga is all about as explained (well) by David Knowles, along with an explanation of what CNN is saying.  

As you watch this, keep in mind, hedge funds managers are very rich typically and they typically work for the super rich.  These are insider elites who don't want anyone but themselves prospering.  They are in it for themselves, and screw the little guy as collateral damage in the process.  So seeing them take a hit is like watching Nancy Pelosi being frog-marched away by the FBI.  In other words, it's great fun.

Hedge fund managers have been known to pick a stock, short sell it and then go trash it on CNBC (or similar outlet) in order to tank the stock price (hurting the company and its workers in the process) in order to cover their short-sell position for a tidy profit.  The guys on Reddit noticed a pattern to this and were  reacting to it.

Carlos Maza is on an evil crusade and must be stopped

First he came for Steven Crowder and the YouTube Adpocalypse followed in it's wake with possibly tens of thousands of YouTubers, mostly conservative, were demonitized if not outright removed.  Only those impacted and their fans stood up. 

Next it seems, Carlos Maza, emboldened by his success, decided to continue with his evil quest by going after the Donald Trump subReddit.  Yes, it actually happened. Here's his tweet about it:

Reddit claims to have an explicit policy against calls to violence.

It's shut down subreddits before.

So why hasn't it done anything about the "The_Donald," the largest pro-Trump subreddit, which is littered with calls to violence? https://t.co/AmAvuSGy0X

Then the subReddit was quarantined. 

This is no mere coincidence. Maza must be stopped. He is systematically taking down any opposition to his communist agenda (he's a self-proclaimed Marxist).  Tim Pool pointed out that the Reddit situation was (i) not as bad as implied and (ii) probably trolled with fake racist and homophobic accounts to set up this take down. 

The larger point, free speech, even bad ideas, must be protected.  The "world is not flat" was once considered a bad idea.  Bad ideas are merely a matter of perspective.

Thursday Hillary Bash - paid comments

Via The Daily Beast, more Hillary Clinton subterfuge.  Back in April, and likely still continuing,  they're paying people to correct comments of Facebook and Reddit.

Citing “lessons learned from online engagement with ‘Bernie Bros,’” a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to “push back against” users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram...

The PAC was created in May of last year when it was spun off from the American Bridge SuperPAC, which is run by longtime Hillary and Bill Clinton supporter David Brock. Brock also founded the left-wing media watchdog website Media Matters for America.

...Due to FEC loopholes, the Sunlight Foundation’s Libby Watson found this year that Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton’s campaign, despite rules that typically disallow political campaigns from working directly with PACs.

“SuperPACs aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates. The whole reasoning behind (Supreme Court decision) Citizens United rests on (PACs) being independent, but Correct the Record claims it can coordinate,” Watson told The Daily Beast. “It’s not totally clear what their reasoning is, but it seems to be that material posted on the Internet for free—like, blogs—doesn’t count as an ‘independent expenditure.”

Okay, so they're possibly playing within the rules to the letter of the law (though clearly not the spirit) and nothing will be done to stop this during this election cycle.  The point though is that ethics is playiong no part in this campaign for Hillary Clinton and as a voter that should be a chilling concern for you.
