    My problem in general like the Russian manipulating voters story is it assumes human beings are feeble minded

    There isn't a concerted effort by the creators of these videos and thats another problem with the narrative

    So you are ok with Islamic extremists using social media to spread propaganda both past, present and future?

    Do you believe that since Trump’s election that there’s been a rise in anti-immigrant, anti-Jew, anti-Muslim, pro-Fascist sentiment in this country?

    You don’t have to answer because you do. We all do.

    Twitter banned accounts traced back to spreading propaganda around ISIS or other Islamic fundamentalism? And many social media channels didn't let the beheadings of tourists in Morocco on their site. But you are saying that is censorship correct? That social media should be a free for all and nothing at all should be stopped from being posted on there? This is a different topic than this thread but you seem to keep coming back to it.

    The reason I posted this thread was to demonstrate that social media isn't just used by Islamic extremists to successfully spread their hate, but also by the alt-right which you seem to have sympathy for.

    You are whining about a poster addressing you personally and then you go on to personally attack me. Are you that narcissistic that you only see yourself and no one else?

    Do you want them censored or not. I dont have a problem banning ISIS.

    Your thread title is about Alt-Right. Now you're talking about ISIS

    Edit: see i at least read the title

    I am using it as a comparison point since you were defending the alt-right in this thread.

    I haven't decided on the censorship issue personally. That said, corporations have the right to censor any way they want - my opinion and the 1st amendment is irrelevant.

    What is interesting is that you are ok with censoring / banning Islamic Extremism, but against censoring White Nationalism. To me they are the same thing so it does sound like you are supportive of that cause based on that.

    Your consistent deflection of criticism of the alt-right and saying that Muslim extremists should be banned from social media but not the alt-right is a de facto defense.

    I am merely calling you out.

    Where did i deflect criticism. Jus stfu youre wrong

    My initial statement in this thread ABOUT THE ALT RIGHT WHICH YOUR TITLE ADDRESSED is that these videos aren't making a lot of people join their cause

    Get tired of having to correct you cause youre to arrogant to look at what someone's saying and ASSuming what they really mean

    Only a very arrogant mofo what say im doing something i just said im not doing

    An arrogant ass

    Well, I think history shows that humans can very well be manipulated.

    There is a concerted effort by 'white nationalists' to radicalize youth. There absolutely is.

    I just call it like I see it you calling out another poster for being arrogant shows a huge lack of self awareness.

    Why do I care about what Sweet Lou has done in the past?

    What does that have to do with you and how you continually get things wrong?
