Stop Right There! Your Memes are Censored by the Corporate Clown Posse

The Best of the Suppressed: Memes Censored by the No Ethics Corporate Clown Posse

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 230 are frenemies. The First Amendment gives broad protection to speech. Section 230 gives broad protection to publishers. So publishers get more protection than the First Amendment gives in most instances. But publishers use it to censor speech instead of protect it. Some speech gets more protection than other types and some gets none. Political speech is the most protected type of speech. Commercial speech is another highly protected form of free speech, but less than political speech. What about hate speech? That’s actually not a thing. Its repeatedly rejected by the Untied States Supreme Court. So, if section 230 gives publishers like X, Facebook, Web hosting companies and the like a special protection status and immunity from suits, and hate speech is just a fake street rule, why do publishers suppress, label or ban certain speech (memes)?

Some time back, a First Amendment audit account was created by John Q. as part of on ongoing look into speech on the internet. Free speech is a matter of great public concern. The internet and social media represent the first time writers and artists have been able to publish their work easily. So, when section 230, a federal rule, that protects publishers of 3rd party content from suits is available as a shield why strike down speech and use it as a sword of suppression?

The motive must be politics, money, a deeply held belief by cooperate muckety-mucks or, an outside hand reaching in to control the story.

The most hateful of ideas are the reason we have the First Amendment. If we didn’t have these protections it would have been an arrestable offense in 1950 to speak out about black lives that DIDN’T matter. So, lets have a worthwhile review of some X posts and memes created by accounts and re postings of some of those memes by John Q. so we can explore Section 230 misuse in action.

But first what’s a meme? According to the internet dictionary its an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations. “celebrity gossip and memes often originate on the site”

Here is my top hit list of apparently hotly disliked memes by the the ethics police/ liked by the people. Memes that will cause you to laugh, cry, think, report (no content labels here), get angry, leave, stay or come back for more. But lets first talk about the hot issues:

1. Race: the equity police are always ready to roll up in your grill when you go down this road.
2. Religion: the clown posse is always ready to ride on this one to keep the peace, or more likely keep the money men happy.
3. Immigration: A prolific topic currently touching western cultures from America to Europe.
4. Gay world: It’s apparent that there is an entirely new reality afoot that is angry on the keys and ready to punish anyone who dares the narrative.
5. Violence can be anything really at this point, it can be actual violence or just mental violence.
6. Sex: Whats considered content to far for X?

Right out of the gate we know that you might be a racist, xenophobe, homophobe or some other phobe if you don’t acknowledge that you are or especially even more so if you do acknowledge that you aren’t. Well for any reason now really. The U.S. system is racist, the food is racist, the founders of America were racists and on an on until its meaningless babble which is just about where we are now. The real problem is that a lie told to you over years is mind manipulation.Eventually people just start believing something and they don’t know when it happened never question why.

However, the internet changes the result.

Influences used to be a simple round table of news, papers, family, friends, spouses and a pastor or teacher. These Influences were carefully crafted to know what you should know and teach what you should be taught. Well its still the same, but control is so much harder to keep now; that control has been transferred to mass, social and text media. So, there is mass interference, redirection and disruption of human habit all throughout technology that keeps suppression going and selects winners and losers.

As you go through each meme try to guess how popular it was, how long it took to be censored and then ask yourself why do you believe what you believe.

What are your beliefs about free speech?

Do you really believe a certain thing is offensive speech or were you just taught that it is so you react in a certain way?

How can you know the difference?

When did you start to believe what you believe?

Wasn’t it free speech that convinced you to believe what you believe now?

As Chief Justice Roberts said in Snyder v. Phelps, 562 U.S. 443, 131 S. Ct. 1207, 179 L. Ed. 2d 172 (2011) , about the speech in that case “While these messages may fall short of refined social or political commentary, the issues they highlight— the political and moral conduct of the United States and its citizens, the fate of our Nation, homosexuality in the military, and scandals involving the Catholic clergy—are matters of public import.”

DEI not Math

Zion

The Affirmative Action Scam

oops they said it

Did any of these memes get your heart pounding? Why? Isn’t because you were taught to be offended if you are? If you are offended then it was free speech and expression of ideas promulgated by the government or someone with deep pockets and they spent money on media influence that caused you to be offended.

The top left “DEI Diversity Equity and Inclusion” ¹ picture got 1.4 Million views and 66,000 likes. The next meme, “The Devil Jew””also had thousands and thousands of views. The “Lets go be oppressed ” was content labeled and shadow banned even though likes and views were rolling in. The last one with the woman had somewhere around 26,000 views and was rapidly climbing before it also was shadow banned.

Muslim Immigration Phases

sex with goats?

Suckle

Capricious X

The 3-phases of Muslim Immigration hit 100,000. When you are caught staring at a got and your wife gives you that face got around 60,0000. The Islam pigs were almost immediately shadow banned and then ALL were shadow band to cause a complete stop in traffic flow. Then came the punishment phase: New followers were rolling at 10-15 per hour or more and the average account views per day were 221,000 then all the way to zero. It was deliberate interference. But why the interference with a persons choice to view something and like content? and interference with another’s ability to provide it? Not very welcoming to free speech or controversial ideas at all. So why do publishers need all that Section 230 protection? Well, they don’t. We should take it back. Political speech and religious speech are two of the most protected types of speech under the United States Constitution.

London Falling

Mass deportation

Here we have HIGHLY popular memes that are super suppressed. You have to question what is the driving force behind all of it if people want to see it but are prevented even with all that Section 230 protection. If the government hand is pulling the lever sin the background then lets just call these big tech players quasi-government agencies, OK? Then we can just have out 1st Amendment rights all the way. Political speech and religious speech are two of the most protected types of speech under the United States Constitution.

Kick Flag Ass

Flag Sale

Not Queer

Felony Stripes

Besides the Muslim religion and what is deemed “violence” Gay World is probably the most suppressed category of memes or maybe the most reported category. Gay people get super mad when regular people use free speech that is hurtful, but at the same time gays are a group that uses the First Amendment to its fullest in speech and expression. Let’s just calm down here.

Enola Gay

When Fuk U inst Enough

Come Get Some Scumbag!

Yikes!

The memes above were also highly popular with the 2nd getting nearly 20,000 before it was shadow banned and the 3rd from the right getting more than 60,000. Are they violent? The Enola Gay delivered the atomic bomb to Japan. The words used in the meme are true and hurtful to some, but not violent. The 2nd picture is a guy on a military ship. He is blasting at something with that cannon and I’m sure its destroyed, but it not realistic for most people whether in our or out of military service, so its just a picture. One dude gets to use that cannon and maybe his backup! The Marine with the pistol I am told is the inventor of the 10 MM pistol. Its his quote. The last one is an opinion on all of the bad things offered by that religion. Offensive to some but freedom of religion is in the 1st Amendment too so you can criticize other religions if you want.

Flag pride

Been there done that

Go Army

Sensitive content for X – the twerk girl

The first 3 were OK for X but may be have purposefully retarded traffic (shadow ban). Oddly the last one was given a content label. The others recorded thousands or even up to a million views. What are your thoughts? Any comments? When Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart was asked to describe his test for obscenity in 1964, he responded: “I know it when I see it.” But do we see it here? Is the last picture obscene? I don’t think so.

In Snyder v. Phelps, 562 U.S. 443, 131 S. Ct. 1207, 179 L. Ed. 2d 172 (2011) , the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts, held that: in light of content, form, and context, speech of church members who picketed near the funeral of military service member was of public concern and therefore was entitled to special protection under the First Amendment, and father was not a captive audience at the funeral, for purposes of captive audience doctrine.

Background: Father of deceased military service member brought action against fundamentalist church and its members, stemming from defendants’ anti-homosexual demonstration near service member’s funeral, and asserting claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), invasion of privacy by intrusion upon seclusion, and civil conspiracy.

The “content” of Westboro’s signs plainly relates to broad issues of interest to society at large, rather than matters of “purely private concern.” Dun & Bradstreet, supra, at 759, 105 S.Ct. 2939. The placards read “God Hates the USA/Thank God for 9/11,” “America is Doomed,” “Don’t Pray for the USA,” “Thank God for IEDs,” “Fag Troops,” “Semper Fi Fags,” “God Hates Fags,” “Maryland Taliban,” “Fags Doom Nations,” “Not Blessed Just **1217 Cursed,” “Thank God for Dead Soldiers,” “Pope in Hell,” “Priests Rape Boys,” “You’re Going to Hell,” and “God Hates You.” App. 3781–3787. While these messages may fall short of refined social or political commentary, the issues they highlight— the political and moral conduct of the United States and its citizens, the fate of our Nation, homosexuality in the military, and scandals involving the Catholic clergy—are matters of public import.

So as you can see free speech is continuous when exercised and that’s the reason we have the First Amendment. Section 230 gives control over free speech to a company(s). Its not any good for America or free speech and must end.

1. DEI – Diversity Equity and Inclusion is another made of political word that the Miriam Webster Dictionary doesn’t even define. It’s fake. ↩︎
