    PJW mentions at around 4:30 that many Leftwing websites (and mainstream media, but I repeat myself) have banned comments because research showed that the comments section influenced more people than did the thread starter.

    This is not new. Newspapers throughout my life have picked and chosen what letters to the editor they would publish. Invariably they chose the worst letters from the right to publish along with left-favorable ones. They could even plant false flags — letters that sound conservative but including some clunker aimed to tie the letter to extremists.

    This fact has been the basis for my theory for the rise of Rush Limbaugh and talk radio. Roger Ailes or another associate gained access to the letters tossed by the Sacramento Bee and they recognized there was a HUGE audience begging to hear someone repeat their opinions on air. Their fortunes took off and the rest is history.

    So PJW is correct to raise the alarm against this angle of attack to censor us. All that has permitted us to share news and opinions and keep aware of the tyranny that is mounting against us individuals is hated by our enemies.

    Today groups like the SPLC just lie blatantly about contents and the media gleefully repeats their lies. This proposed Article 13 would ban our efforts to counter such lies by banning our republishing under fair-use rules the evidence for those lies. They win, we lose.

    Regarding the reference to the SPLC; most folks aren’t aware that the SPLC provides information on “subversive” (ie. conservative) groups to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and law enforcement fusion centers. The SPLC employees the mental giants who sent out warnings stating that people driving vehicles displaying certain stickers (such as American Flags, Gadsden Flags, NRA membership stickers, McCain / Palin political stickers, etc.) should be approached with extreme caution. It’s hard to say how many folks received undue aggressive treatment, or worse, from cops who failed to see the humor in the SPLC’s highly partisan bullshit.

      Southern Poverty Law Center I think no longer applies as an apt acronym.

      Political parties are normally camps from which partisans argue over how their opinions are supported by facts and evidence. But when one party no longer has any facts or evidence to support them, they are largely left with only smoke and mirrors, facing a route similar to an army that has lost a major battle. They are attempting to retreat so they may fight another day.

      So I see these pathetic SPLC losers engaging in slanders that parallels the actions of the rear guard assigned to cover their army’s retreat: Struggling Progressives having Lost Credibility.

    I’d like to think a few of my own memes have hit the target. Maybe one or two.
    But, seeing this from one angle, I’d say to the EU: Go ahead. Do it.
    They think this will be the end of the mockery and ridicule? NFC.
    Memes were just a thing we weaponised againt the humourless left. If memes are denied us we’ll find something else.
    Samidzat! The KGB fought it, but they never eradicated it.
    ‘Cut off one head, two more will take its place’. It’s time the left realised that that works on both sides of the line.
