Yep. I thought left wing people were meant to be anti-business though? Seems bizarre that a collective of far left individuals would be able to run a globally successful multi-billion pound corporation, while also managing to use their influence to manipulate the manipulate the western political scene.

I may be being deliberately obtuse but I'm just trying to point out how ridiculous and unhelpful it is trying to label everything 'far left', 'far right' or whatever.

Just recently the Guardian published an article called the 'YouTube's 'alternative influence network' breeds rightwing radicalisation, report finds'. (yeah...alternative to them)

Anyway this article was written on a report by the 'data&society' an organisation created with funding by Microsoft....that well known far left silicon valley company in Commiefornia.

The 'progressive' MSM want to attack alternative online political content that opposes them because the younger demographic are using it more and more rather than broadcast TV and their ideology isn't controlling it....even though they are free to compete.

The authoritarian part of the left don't believe in the 'marketplace of ideas' and only believe in control and power. They know they can't win in a fair fight. So they seek to shut it down using a combination of ideology, half truths and outright falsehoods.

The report and article's main objective appears to be to spread half truths and spread fear mongering about conservative voices on Youtube.....Voices who are far more popular than left wing ones I might add....even though they receive restrictions and what amounts to prosecution by YouTube itself, which would love to throw them off just as it has done with Alex Jones.....Only US law frightens them.

Indeed we are entering a time where the activist and political left are trying to censor opposing online conservative voices wherever they can.

The article makes several mistakes that can only be deliberate or come from poor research. Tim Pool has recently highlighted these mistakes if you wish to head towards his channel to see the specifics but I'd prefer to mock the general 'zeitgeist' of the article by a Youtuber himself reviewing it.

Here is 'Dangerfield' reviewing and laughing at this article nearly line by line and pointing out the numerous half truths and outright propaganda spread by it.

It's an amusing watch.

I've not been bothering with your far right contributions to our collective wisdom recently. I have been rather busy with other, more important, issues. I just stumbled on this one and couldn't let it pass without offering a sincere piece of advice. If you want to be taken seriously then do try to avoid posting ridiculous assertions. Example "Microsoft....that well known far left silicon valley company in Commiefornia". Microsoft cannot be far left (or far right for that matter). They are a business. They might, as a matter of corporate policy, adopt socially responsible standards and attitudes but so what? If their shareholders are happy then no-one else has any right to comment. Nor is California remotely communist. They are 100% democratic. A place where the people decide what happens. That they again adopt socially responsible policies doesn't mean it's forced upon them.

How dim is this.....Microsoft have just been revealed as the main backer behind this organisation, which has just produced this far left report and you say to me.....'coherently explain exactly how Microsoft are a ‘far left’ corporation'.

Comedy leftist.
