Assaults on Freedom

"The site is also keenly aware of its dependence on social media, so attempts made by these platforms to regulate participants or to ban or discourage hateful behavior are covered by Breitbart as conspiracies or assaults on freedom. The site wrote aggressively about frail allegations that Facebook had censored conservative content in its trending-topic module. (Facebook subsequently fired the team responsible for moderating it.) It describes attempts at Twitter moderation as censorship and has characterized the company’s recent account bans as a 'purge.' "

I'm attempting to incorporate different viewpoints into my blog, which is why I include Dave, who also suffers from a mental illness, but is a Christian; and the Combat Medic, who has obviously military experience (to say the least) on my blog roll.

If you are wondering and wanting to read about the alt-right or white nationalism, Damigo is becoming an influential figure, who is right here in California and also a student.

Likewise, if you want to be comforted by another friendly liberal, check out Dr. Yancy's website. I've been in contact with him (very little so far, but I hope for further exploration of his values, beliefs and philosophies).
