Quite a few liberal channels have also been demonized. Just because some guy from Vox made the initial complaint doesn't mean that it's a leftist conspiracy. No one is banning them from speaking. It is merely without cash. Vox is probably making an attempt to stamp out competition from all sides.

Vox, whose writers are currently on strike, is forcing YouTube to destroy its competition, Louder with Crowder, by making Steven Crowder spend years calling Carlos Maza various homophobic slurs.

Ever since the establishment and the useful idiots that they patronize saw how social media could have a widescale of influence on people political disposition they've been pushing for the outright banishment of dissidents from every major platform. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc.

They aren't even pretending to be unbiased anymore, not that anyone who isn't braindead believed they were before.

YouTube has thrown their hate into the ring and have mass demonetized most "right wing" content on the website under the nonsensical farce of combatting the non crime of "hate speech" while simultaneously failing to strictly define what that is or how they justify violating freedom of speech.

This isn't a left or right issue it's an issue of freedom vs Tech plutocrats monopolizing the flow of information on the internet.

Sargon of akkad summarizes it I'm this video. https://youtu.be/bBUVaXwQGoA

And any of the useful idiots who will cheer this have shown their true colors and will be in for a rude awakening if they think people will take this lying down.

This is a bad time to be on YouTube. I have a bunch of social media sites, which I'll list here, for anyone interested.

  • BitChute

  • Minds

Oh, I can understand his irritation and stress. Vox is dying, which is a lot of stress for the dude. His job is going away potentially. It's gonna make it sting all the more that a more successful program literally spends a portion of its time debunking his videos while simultaneously mocking him.

Neither should communists, stalinists and far-left reactionaries. Or both types should be monetized. It's either you allow both, or you demonetize both, you have to pick one. You can't just demonetize one and let the other run amok, because life doesn't work like that.

So basically, your whole "suppression of speech" whinging is hilariously hypocritical and you're only really mad because people you like are getting booted and have zero problem with it happening to people with opposing views to yours.

Glad that's cleared up.

It's almost like you don't understand comedy.

That's very possible. If asked I probably would not have said that comedy is calling someone a queer, very obviously meaning it as a slur, and then laughing into a camera so your audience feel in on the "joke".

OK, but make sure the feminists promoting (for example) spambot-gender while hating on everyone on the right get demonetized as well. We don't want hundreds of SJWs getting money, while channels like Mumkey Jones get terminated.
