In reply to the discussion: The latest "banning" (NYC_SKP) is an interesting lesson on REPUTATION. [View all]Corruption Inc
(1,568 posts)There's a clear hit list created and maintained by the conservative ideologues that put themselves into positions to ban people here. I'm sure I'm on the hit list for supporting alternative media, Warren, Sanders, Greenwald, Snowden, universal healthcare, holding war criminals accountable and, being against the TPP and corruption at every level of our government.
A shift has occurred in American politics. The republicans are now the corruption party, full of extremists and criminals. The democratic party is now the conservative party and what used to be the democratic party is now the progressive party. Until this site's members recognize that it's going to be a constant source of conflict with lots of censorship, blind partisanship and the endless name calling and insults.
The atmosphere here is oppressive rather than open, especially for progressives which is why so many of us are speaking out. The risk of doing so makes this site less and less appealing for me as it's clear almost anything I post will be attacked, lied about and/or blocked. The banning of nycskip is the first of many to come IMO.
