Under a proper reading of 1984, the GOP is the more “Orwellian” party.

A proper reading? Gtfoh.

You can’t write truth out of the equation. Truth matters. It matters the most. It’s the difference between freedom and slavery, between survival and death.

But how do we distinguish truth from propaganda?

That is for citizens, not the government disinformation board, to decide.

Orwell certainly wouldn’t advise anyone to take the pronouncements of a “government disinformation board” at face value.

But, under what circumstances might it be worth hearing out? What if our government board is fighting another government’s propaganda — say, Russia’s or China’s? Is pushing back on anti-American lies that are being pumped on a massive scale into media markets around the world something our government might be justified in doing?

The world is full of bad actors. The U.S. government is certainly open to criticism (and lets itself be open to criticism), but is nowhere near the worst.

Orwell wouldn’t say that democracy mandates pacifism or surrendering to tyranny.

Except it won't be used for that. They literally put the queen of fake news in charge of it.

If something is disinformation isn't the job of real journalists to uncover the truth? Maybe if mainstream media wasn't spending its time lyine Nad then pointing the finger they would have more credibility. Maybe if the news was the news again and not mere opinion as fact they would have a leg to stand on.

The fact that we can get so many sources of information now should mean we are more informed not less, but unfortunately we can have the official narrative and everything else is labeled as misinformation because the elite want to maintain their monopoly on the streams of information and this bullshit that somehow seeks to justify these moves is clearly a product of the indoctrination of the simple minded.

LMAO. Did you come up with this nonsense on an acid trip?

The tragic thing is , you're serious !

"The Biden administration is being protected by a veil of censorship being carried out by Big Tech giants, a two-year study carried out by the Media Research Center has found.

“Big Tech’s campaign to protect President Joe Biden and his agenda has continued unabated,” MRC reported. “The Media Research Center found more than 640 examples of bans, deleted content and other speech restrictions placed on those who criticized Biden on social media over the past two years. This included 140 cases of Big Tech censoring people over the New York Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden story in late 2020.”"

Ah yes, the Media Research Center

F**king nonsense. The ability for both truth and lies is what makes free speech. I know this is something a nuts lefty cannot handle but current concensus of truth is not actual truth. The Earth being the center of the universe was considered truth and people who disagreed had "consequences". That is a bullshit system of ideology that they are trying to get back to with their God of science and religion of acceptance of all perversions and rejection of all norms and traditions.

Deciding what truth is for everyone is 1984 shit and the left is much more active at creating organizations that only allow their truth.

Thanks for describing democRATS to a tee...

Biden could take a shit on the Pope and they'd still applaud it, wait...

Trump took a shit on America and you applauded that.

You don’t find any evidence of a cult of personality forming within the Republican Party?

Have they created a Ministry of Truth like the democrats?

OOPS

TRUTH SOCIAL anyone? 😂

I had no idea that Truth Social was part of DHS.

Slouchy will say anything to get the last word.... so sad...

Anything

So that's a government organization?

WOW

Trump’s social media platform is a private company that has the right to publish its own terms and censor what it wants.

Kinda like Twitter and Facebook!

You seem to equate legal right to goodness, but only when it favors your side. Trash.

I know y’all have been ready to move on from Jan. 6 since Jan. 7, but it was a significant event.

It matters that a few thousand Trump supporters broke into the U.S. Capitol. It matters that over a hundred police officers were injured and several died. It matters that the mob chanted “hang Mike Pence,” and would have done it if given the chance. I don’t really like Mike Pence, don’t agree with him on much. He was still our Vice-President and hanging him is treason.

Trump’s suspension from Twitter and FB have everything to do with that event. It’s not persecution. It’s a justifiable punishment for a mob action aimed at the heart of American democracy.

Still, I bet he could find a way back on if he found it within him to accept responsibility and apologize. He doesn’t want to? Fine, but in the meantime, no one can force these companies to platform him, and they’re doing so not only in their own interest but in the public’s interest as well.

Contrast that with the house rules of Trump’s own faltering attempt at an alternative social media platform, designed only with himself in mind. Criticism of Truth Social isn’t allowed on Truth Social? Very petty, very typical, very unsurprising. But it’s his right to make those rules and my right not to participate.

Who the f**k asked for some nonsense about Jan 6th? Do you think I bothered to read that? Do you think that I voted for the idiot, watch OAN and supported the Jan 6th shit? I got news for you, they are trash and so are you. The sad fact that you can't see what kind of sick tyranny your side wants to impose is ridiculous. Maybe actually read Orwell instead of just quoting him.

You can’t read 5 paragraphs about the most important day in modern American history and you want to lecture me about reading Orwell. Hah.

Well here’s another Orwell quote for you to chew on. Your hate levels are high which means I am doing my job.

Yes... you want to totally ignore the Biden Ministry of Truth... I get it...

It sounds big and scary but they’re not getting up in your business, unless you really are a Russian troll.

The Board is about monitoring foreign threats: Immigration, terrorism, public health and war-related. It won’t be tracking American citizens.

Its funny, they say foreign disinformation, but all of those mentioned are domestic except Ukraine.

Mentioned by who?

Read the comment i'm responding to.

Sure... just like 0bama didn't spy on US citizens...

Tell some more whoppers... LMAO

Hell yeah 0bama’s FBI g00ns spied on the Trump campaign. They were corresponding with Russians! Lol!

0bama spied on Americans! I am agreeing with you!

Yep. Anybody who secretly corresponds with Russia should be spied on.

Yep... Snowden was right about the 0bama regime...

Is NOT a government operated platform unlike what the Dem Party just set up with the DHS. Of course it all boils down to if people really are as inherently and relentlessly stupid as the political Left's propaganda experts obviously believe.

This accusation from the people whom pretty much openly worshiped Barack Obama as a political messiah and when first the mainstream media blatantly worked FOR a Dem Party president to blatantly spin and cover for him no matter what?
