Twitter CEO Endorses Leftist Blueprint To Drive Conservatives From Public Life
Content adapted from this Zerohedge.com article : Source
Is it healthy for the CEO of one of the leading social media sites to have his eyes set on "driving Republicans from public life"?
Censorship is something that Facebook and Google are coming under fire for engaging upon. Now it looks like Twitter is getting into the mix.
Authored by Monica Showalter via AmericanThinker.com,
The chief executive officer of Twitter, one of the big social media titans, has declared on his own Twitter account that a long, grotesque screed about driving Republicans from public life and turning the whole political configuration of the U.S. into California is a "great read." One of his board members thought so, too, tweeting it first and calling it "interesting."
This from the guy who claims that his social media site is non-partisan and wouldn't dream of censoring others.
It rather goes beyond the realm of one man's opinion in his case. What we are seeing here is a mask coming off, a social media titan vowing that his agenda is to eliminate an entire side of the political spectrum, and **Twitter finally admitting that it's an operation all about actively promoting left-wingery, **as the continuous bans and shadow-bans of conservatives show. All of this calls into question whether Twitter should be as unregulated as the Silicon Valley elite insists.
Twitchy has a full rundown of the **CEO's outrageous endorsement tweet and the response that followed. ** Kurt Schlichter has the best response, knowing how the world works, and Democrats in particular: > Businesses that choose a side should choose wisely.

Here's how bad the piece Dorsey endorsed was; and since it'll take you about an hour to read it, I picked out the choice morsels. I recommend immersion into this vast distorted bath of avant-garde leftism since it's probably what we will be hearing about as the left seeks to reclaim power:
At some point, one side or the other must win – and win big. The side resisting change, usually the one most rooted in the past systems and incumbent interests,** must be thoroughly defeated – not just for a political cycle or two, but for a generation or two. ** That gives the winning party or movement the time and space needed to really build up the next system without always fighting rear-guard actions and getting drawn backwards. The losing party or movement will need that same time to go through a fundamental rethink, a long-term renewal that eventually will enable them to play a new game.
And make no mistake: the blueprint is to eradicate all conservatives and Republicans.
Trump is just making clear to all what was boiling under the surface for decades, and that's exactly what we need him to do. Why? **Because America finally needs to take the Republican Party down for a generation or two. Not just the presidency. Not just clear out the U.S. House. Not just tip back the Senate. But fundamentally beat the Republicans on all levels at once, **including clearing out governorships and statehouses across the land.
(The author misses that Trump was the turning point, and mistakes him for a rube like Schwarzenegger, something Trump has resolutely not been and Schwarzenegger, the failed California governor, of course hates Trump.) The writers then ask:
Could such as collapse of the Republican Party really happen? Won't it take decades of trench warfare to put the GOP on the run? Not at all. A political collapse could happen very fast, as it did in California.
That was Schwarzenegger's doing, given that he was weak and governed as a RINO. Trump is not that.
Meanwhile, as Democrats drive Republicans from all spheres of public life, the writers claim there won't be a monopoly problem, with all its natural stagnation and corruption. Competition could be among Democrats only, pitting unhinged Occupy-style leftists against hipsterly Obama types:
The city council of San Francisco is made up of all Democrats but is often trapped in fierce policy battles between supervisors who are more left of center than their colleagues who are more moderate and supportive of the tech industry. However, everyone on that city council is a Democrat and would be considered a progressive Democrat in the national context. They all embrace creating a diverse society, fighting climate change, etc.
What a grotesque political universe – quite redolent of the decadent Eurotrash and Latin American societies where no conservative parties exist at all. Lovely result that would be.
And get a load of this: they say the battle is over because they won 60% in one election, so the 40% are now and forever irrelevant and deserve no voice. The old Stalinist permanence theme recrudesces with these leftists:
In short, California has a supermajority of 60 percent of the population, and thus a supermajority of elected officials, who share a common vision of a general way forward. Their differences are worked out within the confines of that general vision.
They see California as the model for the country, every state to become a mini-California with all its illegals, crumbling infrastructure, high taxes, corruption, and left-wing social engineering. You can see where Hillary Clinton got her ideas about having support from the dynamic part of the country in her controversial India remarks right in this conclusion here:
California, as usual, resolved it early. The Democrats won; the Republicans lost. The conservative way forward lost; the progressive way forward began. As we've laid out in this series, California is the future, always about 15 years ahead of the rest of the country. That means that America, starting in 2018, is going to resolve it, too.
The Twitter CEO is endorsing this slop. Can regulation of the social media sham come soon enough?

So now Twitter's CEO knows what's best for us? What BS.
Twitter has recently suspended the account of @bitcoin, terminated the account and then gave it to someone else that now has the account locked. This was apparently done to numerous complaints from people backing Bitcoin Core. I don't have a stake in the BTC vs. BCH fight, but Twitter's heavy-handed approach is an impingement on free speech. Like Facebook, the solution may be for Twitter to be treated and regulated like a utility.
We've always known most of MSM platforms Is controlled by leftists. I just wish conservatives start creating bigger platforms where we can air our views in peace
Very good post.......
Excellent post.....
Hi zer0hedge
I don't find this very surprising. The californication of America. That has certainly been a long-time coming. What is perhaps more surprising than Twitter or any social-media platform being partisan and suppressing dissenting voices is the fact that people seem to be cheering this on... I don't think it's right that the pretext or grounds for thought-crime is being brought back, especially in this technological age where everybody shares vast amounts of private, confidential information on the internet. The idea that certain beliefs, or even ideologies, could be wrong when they are in essence peaceful is the real problem...
I don't tend to agree with conservatives on much about anything, but like the article echoed, I am glad that they are there getting offended and willing to revolt and protest when certain changes are definitely taking us in a fucked up direction...
Like the old saying says, don't fix it if it ain't broke... I agree with this in principle because by always trying to tweak and intervene in a creation, it's very easy to muck it up and actually do more harm than good.
So I think for no other reason than having an anchor or a hands on the break should conservative values and opinions be publicly espoused... It doesn't matter if we find the most dogmatic and ideologically-bent ass holes seem to be monopolizing the space...
There's always ways around this and fighting these people like they are "enemies" or "hostile" or a "threat to society" is wrong... Many on the political right are dealing with deceptions same as anybody on the left... We're realizing we've been lied to, we've been manipulated, we've been trafficked...
There's got to be a way around this that goes beyond left or right paradigm... I was certainly brought up with a more hippie and leftist background but I fully realize that this corporate "left" is hell-bent on a nightmarish future with less freedoms and less agency for the individual.... I don't like this one bit and fail to see in what way selling ourselves short will have a positive impact for anybody else...
The idea is to be more compassionate, more caring, more loving with others... Not to be less compassionate, less caring and less loving with ourselves...
I'm an anarchist so I'm not really minding any of this, and hate to say it but my first response to anybody on Twitter/Facebook/Youtube would be "What are you doing on there? Get off there, it's not good for you or anybody else"
With the exception of YouTube which I really hope more people switch to alternatives anyway...
Social media is starting to get into the creepy phase of its secret, hidden purpose.
Twitter is used all over the globe.. it's sad seeing the very board that should be guiding users on being ethical in their interaction being the very ones driving this influence. Political affiliations divide people as they get sided on political parties and are not willing to associate with the people from their rival parties. I don't even advise people in high offices revealing the side they belong to when it comes to speaking to masses of people they serve. This alone can start creating rivalries in other countries knowing it's okay to scratch the backs of their fellow nationals from their opponent's parties. I hope twitter heads change in the way they are doing things regarding politics.
