FREEDOM PHONE; The Alt-Rights Next Self Own?

[D Luniz]

Nah you need the dream team of Don Jr. and Kimberly "totally not a stand-in for his step-mom Melania" Guilfoyle coked out of their minds screaming into a microphone to really sell the product.

just go full carny barker and get Don King in as well

ONLY IN AMERICA!!

[Dontrike]

I wish I was shameless enough to grift hard on these idiots. Mad easy money.

I'm sure if you sold red shirts that said Turnip 2024, people would buy it thinking it said Trump.

[Poopymonster]

Tramp 2024, would it be Melania or Ivanka running?

[Ursus]

Nah for that to work it'd have to say Turnip 2021. Anything later and you're a Marxist to the true believers.

Hey, 2021 works. Then when that doesn't come to pass you can sell those same shirts relabeled for 2022, 2023, 2024...

I won't link to it, but they have a referral program for the phone that apparently pays out "Up to $50" for each person who uses your promo code.

This just keeps getting better and better.

Sounds like a pyramid scheme. Funnily enough, a lot of those scammer types are usually conservatives as well. There's a couple of companies developing "games" which are effectively structured as pyramid schemes much the same way. It's definitely always good to be aware of these scams and who started them and who is promoting them.

that might actually be a pretty good anti-Trump shirt.

One that reads: TRUMP 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 eventually..."


(God willing on that "2024" part)

[Breccia]

Sounds like a pyramid scheme.

Pay $500, hope to get $50x2 back? Only an idiot would fall for...oh, right. The context. Yeah, you have a point.

[Masark]

Tramp 2024, would it be Melania or Ivanka running?

Why not Rick?

[uuuhname]

if your in the market for a $30 phone marked up to $500 which still uses the exact same cell services a normal phone does, thus totally negating whatever privacy you think it affords, then yeah, "the left fucked up" on not being obvious grifters.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Well, you know what they say about a fool and his money...

I wish I'd thought about this shit, honestly. The alt-right is easily manipulated times 1000.

Back to reality, capitalists own many major media websites, forums.

[DarkTZeratul]

You're either being laughably ignorant or exhaustingly disingenuous.

Why can't it be both?

But what you are ignoring is the reasons why people get banned from those sites. Odds are they violated the rules of said website and that is not deplatforming. The issue that needs to be addressed is the double standards when it comes to rule enforcement on sites like Twitter. And Twitter is one of the worst. People are pretty frequently abusive on there and seeing the bullying, harassment, sexism and racism that goes on between various groups or people is absurd. Twitter is pretty good about banning people for hate speech towards ethnic minority and LGBT groups, but why is it OK for them to tolerate disparaging of straight people or white people? Racism is still racism, and bigotry is still bigotry regardless of who does it. That is the real issue with social media, is what is actually tolerated and that an entire protected class has been created where they can skirt the rules without punishment and anyone else gets banned for the same things.

Deplatforming someone has to be arbitrary. Banning people for being dishonest or spreading "misinformation" is arbitrary because it's vague and entirely based on personal opinion and doesn't actually do anything to combat misinformation. It's also inherently biased towards the person creating the rules. Like the whole hydrocloriquine (sp?) thing was labeled misinformation even though hospitals were using it during their treatment of patients with COVID. So no, people shouldn't be getting banned for talking about things that their validity is up for interpretation because that is all completely arbitrary and just reinforces the belief that those people are right when they see like minded people getting banned for speaking their mind.

It isn't a "tactic" to begin with. It isn't even a thing, really.

All that's happening is some people are being toxic, abusive assholes, and platforms are independently saying "not cool, get out."

It's like if you chose to make an ideological stand of taking a shit in every public pool, and were complaining that there's a "tactic" of "de-pooling" you, just because every local pool has banned you after you too a shit in their pool.

It isn't a "tactic". If you're getting banned, it's because you're an asshole.

This is complete horseshit.

Particularly as it's usually espoused by some dipwad like Matt Gaetz in a statement published by every single news organization in the USA, which pretty conclusively shows he has not in any way been "silenced".

When are abusive dipshits going to take even just a modicum of personal responsibility when their own bad behaviour gets them banned from social media sites? It's pretty much never for their political views, it's for bigotry or harassment or name-calling or the like.

To repeat; nobody gets banned for "being conservative/right-wing". They get banned for being abusive, mean-spirited assholes, either to other users or in expressing hateful or criminal speech. If you can't tell the difference between "right-wing" and "bigoted shithead", well, you're kind of making a point even I'm not willing to make.

There's a "demand" for Klu Klux Klan hoods.

Doesn't mean people are gonna let you proudly talk about how awesome the KKK is and how you really want to murder a bunch of black folks, without consequence.

if that was actually the case Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager and dozens of other right wing reactionaries would have been booted a long time ago. no, they simply kick people off the platform that don't have a big enough following to the point where blatantly breaking the rules doesn't matter.

Freedom Phone... from China.
Are these idiots actually for real?

If only. And the difference between being conservative/right wing and a racist shit bag is pretty fucking thin.
