Bourbon & Bullets

Well so much for Minds.com being a bastion of free speech, it turns out they are in fact complete frauds. Supported by big libertarian Youtubers, Sargon of Akkad, Bearing and Computing Forever, to name just a few, it was supposed to be the answer to Facebook and Twitters  growing censorship of anything non-feminist, non-SJW or non-pro Islam. The site 'rewards' users for activity (quotes because the reward is debatable) and has billed itself as the Internet's most open and accepting social media platform. That is until you get banned from it. I was very active on the site  early this morning (Feb 24) but by late afternoon as unable to log back in. Apparently Minds.com, the most open and accepting social media platform on the Internet, has it's limits too. Those limits would be videos critical of Islam, sigh, how predictable. So how do users like Atheism is Unstoppable continue to use the site? I suppose because he has a great deal of followers. Minds.com doesn...

HATE CRIES Hurty Words, Killy Words by David Cole   February 16, 2017 Multiple Pages photo credit: Bigstock The hellstorm of protests that greeted Milo Yiannopoulos on the UC Berkeley campus wasn’t nearly as disheartening as the flood of pro-censorship op-eds that poured from the pages of the  Daily Cal  newspaper in the days that  followed . The anti-Milo riots could (in theory) be dismissed as the work of “outside agitators.” But the op-eds? No way can they be seen as anything other than the sincere feelings of actual Berkeley students. These little geniuses all pretty much toe the same line, and it’s a familiar leftist line, going back decades:  “Hate speech” isn’t protected speech.  It doesn’t matter how many constitutional scholars and legal experts tell them they’re wrong, that “hate speech” is indeed protected  speech . These soft-skulled millennial simpletons are told by their professors every day that  “facts” ar...

Transgender Anti-SJW YouTuber Blaire White’s Facebook Ban Lifted Following Breitbart Inquiry 2788 1 Blaire White/Twitter by   JACK HADFIELD 22 Feb 2017 142 SIGN UP  FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Blaire White, a transgender YouTuber and critic of cultural marxism, was hit with a 30-day ban on her Facebook page for “violating Facebook policies” but given no reason as to why the ban was implemented. However, after Breitbart News reached out to Facebook for comment,  White’s ban was lifted . White revealed her ban from Facebook through her Twitter account on Tuesday evening: White told Breitbart News, “Facebook has repeatedly shown their dedication to censoring libertarian and conservative pages. They’ve also shown that their claim to want to protect minorities is disingenuous, as they have no problem booting minorities from their website if they have the wrong opinion.” Facebook has previously temporarily suspended other anti-social justice ...

MEDIA Fire With Fire: Milo’s Dangerous Brand by J.M. McBirnie   January 31, 2017 Multiple Pages Milo Yiannopoulos In the lead-up to the  Fahrenheit 451  reenactment planned for Milo Yiannopoulos’ upcoming book  Dangerous ,  Buzzfeed  and  its coterie  ran pieces on the incendiary’s previous forays into publishing. Under the pseudonym Milo Andreas Wagner, Yiannopoulos didn’t just  self-publish  two books of poetry, but also coedited a  critical anthology  on  Buffy the Vampire Slayer ’s fifth season. Oh no he didn’t. Snark aside, they also allege plagiarism with a link to an article documenting how he “misquoted” Tori Amos and “blended lines” of other songs without attribution. (He thanks Amos on an acknowledgement page, but that’s not really proper MLA format, is it?) And true to Buzzfeed’s form, it features digestible experts of a  live-tweeting  reacting to Milo’s  Eskimo ...

#RESISTANCE Here a Nazi, There a Nazi, Everywhere a Nazi-Nazi! by Jim Goad   February 06, 2017 photo credit: BIgstock I guess calling everyone a “racist” doesn’t work anymore. If it did, Trump would have lost. As a result,  we are all Nazis now . Milo Yiannapoulos is a gay Jew who can’t seem to go more than five minutes without mentioning that he loves sucking black cock. He has openly and repeatedly disavowed white nationalism, especially the “14/88” crowd. Doesn’t matter.  Posters  preceding his recent appearance in Denver tagged him as a “Nazi” and encouraged punching him. When he attempted to speak last week at UC Berkeley—which  abandoned  any pretense of supporting free speech long ago—a violent riot erupted, and authorities canceled the speech. Fires were set, windows were smashed, a female Trump supporter was  maced  while doing a TV interview, and Trump supporters were  beaten unconscious  in the st...
