Nonliberal views suppressed on SW - no rational discussions simply bullying.

A microcosm of society. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that Congress is looking into media literacy initiatives, including a commission to help "rein in" misinformation in the wake of last week’s deadly breach of the U.S. Capitol.

During a lengthy live stream on Instagram on Tuesday night, the leader of the so-called "Squad" discussed the aftermath of the Capitol riot, how she feared for her life during the chaos and what needs to be done going forward.

At one point, Ocasio-Cortez read a question from a viewer who asked if there is discussion in Congress on "truth and reconciliation or media literacy initiatives" to help with healing.

AOC SAYS COMMISSION BEING 'DISCUSSED' TO HELP ‘REIN IN’ MEDIA ENVIRONMENT AFTER CAPITOL RIOT

"I can say, there is absolutely a commission being discussed but it seems to be more investigatory, in style rather than truth and reconciliation, so I think that’s an interesting concept for us to explore, and I do think that several members of Congress, in some of my discussions, have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here and we’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation," Ocasio-Cortez said.

The left does not believe in freedom of the press.
Or or the person. @JoePourMan

Heres the thing...people with out critical thinking skills, or just thoughtfully lazy(🤔), believe dangerous lies and conspiracy theories. With the ability to reach and influence millions (most certainly like radical terrorist groups worldwide), bad actors manipulate online forums and that is a very dangerous thing. As evidenced by the attempted take over of the nations capital.

As far as sw? No one is suppressing anyone.

fascinating... a headline statement which is simply not backed up by the text.
The other issue is gangs of lefties who conspire to overwhelm the mods with flag on individuals with whom they disagree. I would call that mob censorship. @Yulianna

@jackjjackson it must be fun to live in your world...
You know it hon. @Yulianna
There is definitely a disjunction between your headline and the main text, as Yulianna has pointed out. As far as your accusation of SW is concerned, my experience has been that the only suppression of illiberal views has been by some of those who have them as they block others who take a different view. This means their views are only seen by those who already agree with them. A case of self-censorship if ever there was one.
@JoeyFoxx It defeats the purpose of debate, doesn't it? Just shouting at each other until we block it out is no way to behave in a democracy.

@Frank52 I could not possibly agree more.

welcome to the new unreality!

Jack, let’s use the conversations between you and I as examples. (Let’s also ignore that your story headline doesn’t match the content of your story.)

You and I don’t often agree on issues pertaining to the US Government and the outgoing President. Yet, we have had quite a few conversations without there being vitriol.

It’s is when you start yammering on about QAnon innuendo, ballot box stuffing and other fallacious nonsense that the conversation gets out of hand. Opinions are not being suppressed. We may argue and disagree about them, but the arguments tend to be reasonable. But when you start parroting the misinformation promoted by the retrumplicans, this is when the adults in the room really need to stand up and insist that you STFU.

It’s that simple. Don’t pretend to be a victim. It’s not a good look.

Be careful before you develop a victim complex lmao - the only people being suppressed on SW are those like me who simply want to inform folks of their crippling intellectual disabilities - a service, really.

So how are non liberal views being suppressed by the article you posted it sounds as if the reason it may be suppressed in the future is because it’s false and devoid of real facts. I don’t see where SW is talking about banning those with conservative mindset.

@sunsporter1649 haven’t looked. have you found the voter fraud yet?

Rational Discussions? Lol, don't flatter yourself.
You also talked about how the election was "stolen" from him. And you also believe that there ANTIFA was part of the cause of the riots at the capitol building. Apperently, because of pictures that you have seen. ... These 2 things have nothing to do with "policy".

NEVER WROTE THAT. LOOK AS HARD AS YOU WANT YOU WILL NOT FIND IT. YOU OWE ME AN APOLOGY




@Kwek00
He can’t support his claim. A frequent occurrence with this one. @sunsporter1649

@jackjjackson Yup, supposed to be a foreigner, yet his language and choice of words are pure yankee left-wing nut job

I agree. Fake news didn’t exist until Trump coined the phrase. Now no one believes anything, even though all the fake news comes from right wing sources.

@sunsporter1649 I think Blitzer was probably satisfied when the republican-led senate commission on the matter confirmed extensive collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign chairman.

@sunsporter1649 once again you have nothing original to say.

one socialist lib does not a law make, especially when it is in direct violation of the first amendment.
Do her voters actually know or care what Cortez is NOT doing for them? @TexChik
TexChik · F
@jackjjackson After the exposure of the lib voting scam, I'm not sure if she has any living voters.
Imagine Cortez as Treasury Secretary. @TexChik

If the SCOTUS does not block this we are screwed. @TexChik

@jackjjackson it’s a direct assault on the first amendment , and Biden wanting to only help small businesses based on race
Dorsey freely admits he has big censorship plans in the works. @TexChik

Reduced to a whining cry-baby , way to go Jack.
Do you have anything vof value to contribute? @LegendofPeza
LegendofPeza · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson Other than memes and insults ? I would say so , yeah. Including , funnily enough , some rather incriminating messages.
Oh. Ok. @LegendofPeza

@jackjjackson Get a dog, Jack. Maybe it will love you. Then again, maybe not.
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
What would you know about bullying, Jack? 🙄
Go ahead, please discuss what Biden policies you favor. I’m not going to debate false narratives. @LegendofPeza @Fukfacewillie
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
@jackjjackson Not going to change the subject, but nice try. You adored Trump and now you want to pretend you didn’t because otherwise you would experience shame. It’s so obvious. Here, this was from you. Just policies? As if you could cleave that off (child separation was a policy, as was the Muslim ban etc). You were part of the cult.

[image/video deleted]
Yep. That was post election. The cages existed during the Obama years and yes I agreed with the Muslim ban. It’s not like they adore us. Are you a Muslim madame? @Fukfacewillie
I felt bullied by Severus snape. He was bragging about getting liberals kicked off of sw. So I told him he had a bad attitude and he spammed me with memes depicting conservatives pissing on the capitol. I’ve never done any to anyone politically wise.
Never heard of that rascal. @Spoiledbrat
His username just popped up. I don’t know who he is. @jackjjackson
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Spoiledbrat Just some left-wing nut job on the payroll, unable to think for himself so he resorts to cartoons that are bundled to him
