Fifth Facebook Account

So, my hobby, being a gentleman of leisure, is chatting online---what I've found since Trump was elected is that if I post certain sorts of anti-left-wing views is that my accounts get disabled. What I am wondering is if it's just that the leftists know that if enough of them dogpile an account and report it, it is automatically disabled (I am not going to waste time arguing w/ Facebook, I'll just create a new account), or if Facebook actually employs people to actively censor anti-communists. I suspect the former, just because it would require too many employees for Facebook to actively check every reported account, prob. easier to block them if enough complain, then have people to check into them if it is asked of them. It's sad, because our society has so much censorship already, and the Internet was the last place that the minority of freedom-minded people could go to speak about things. Looks like even that is being taken away. And I'm not saying it violates my rights or anything, Facebook is obv. a private company. I'm just commenting on the lack of freedom of expression in the West today, and how so many people are militantly hostile toward people and views that they disagree with.

(?) - Are your anti-left views seen as hateful?

You know, ANTI- Muslim,Semitic, Mexican, Black, Female, LGBTQ2,
(etc, etc...)
Most of us are so FED UP with all that bigoted SHIT, masquerading as a legitimate political point of view, that we're ready to puke orange hair...

You poor soul

Hey Mr. self-acclaimed gentleman of leisure. Why don't you put some of your time to good use instead of making it all about you. Instead of wasting time creating multiple FB accounts to peddle your drivel, which clearly no one is interested in hearing (troll), why don't you go out and put your energy into something productive and perhaps better the lives of a few people who through the wrong set of circumstances may not be as privileged as you. Have a nice day. :)

I constantly have to submit my government ID to Facebook after almost any comment I make that isn't a love-in for refugees, or any comment that supports President Trump gets my account disabled within minutes. its hilarious.

Given how many times I've reported hate speech -- and I mean outright calling for violence against particular minority groups -- and had it result in nothing, I find that very hard to believe.

Fuck off troll

Why are so many right wing Trump Conservative supporters lying whiners? Anyone with any experience online knows banning is pretty rare unless you're peddling hate. Then you should get shut down. It's not about left or right ideology. How stupid do you think we are? Also this is not a confession. FML. Troll.

@(?) - Are your anti-left views seen as hateful?

My personal view of what is so upsetting about my views is that I can talk about the legislation used to prevent discrimination against those groups without addressing it head on. My view is that in the communist manifesto, we find that plank 2 is "Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes." The Communists could never do that directly in the west, that is, abolish property in land. So, what they have done is convert all businesses to de facto state lands, by the Human Rights Codes, WCB regs, and various over-reaching statutes.

If one has a fee simple in land, one decides who is admitted. One may do this on any basis, rational or irrational, random or deterministic. One may refuse to admit irish nationals, for example. If the Government says that "if you want to use your fee simple estate to run a business, you have to manage it as the Government dictates," then obviously there is no real private property in lands anymore.

I think what really pisses people off about this view is that you cannot tell me I am just a hateful racist---I am not even really saying whether or not it is right or wrong, just that it is obvious that putting land-use decisions into the hands of the Communist Party/Soviet/Government is an aim of international communism. And if we look at the academic pedigree of the individuals who support these sorts of "human rights," most of them use some sort of warmed over left-wing critical apparatus.

And then there's the income tax, which is another plank in the communist manifesto. I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with (a) supporting income taxation, to redistribute wealth from those with high income to low income or (b) de facto nationalization of all lands used for business purpose, but I do think that both of these things provide strong evidence for the Government having adopted the principles of communism. And I think that because I am not focusing on the putative "evil" of any particular ethnic group (and that's because I don't buy that sort of thing, people are people), but, rather, talking about something as emotionless as property law, it's all the more frightening to them, because they know that this a decent argument.

facebook isn't private

it's a public company doing quite on the stock market. i'd have thought a savvy right-winger like you would be aware of this fact. so maybe it's simply a matter of your posts being ignorant people oppose.
