→Expansion of right-wing material on the internet: reply
I haven't looked at the latter two items, but right-wingers gaining momentum on the internet is an interesting development. With nationalism gaining ground in Europe and 21st century [[desecularization]] occurring, the trend is bound to continue. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]])

:Those top two sites aren't being truthful; neither Alex Jones nor Paul Joseph Watson are conservative.
:I saw one of Alex Jones' monologues; the broadcast was recommended as an especially good one. Jones' seemed to me like a minor league version of Limbaugh or Glenn Beck without the sudden reversals. But anyway, I was researching Jones for my list, and the first video I looked at directly from Jones' website answered my question. In the video at one point early on to state premises for some argument, he said, "I'm not a liberal; I'm not a conservative".
:Paul Joseph Watson often has keen insight into the misrepresentations of left-wing politicians and their supporters, but he also has a sewer mouth and not just privately like locker-room talk but in interviews about his personal points-of-view conducted for the purpose of placing them on the internet.
:If Twitter doesn't shape up, despite hosting many important political figures for years, they will be replaced by Gab. I've read stuff like you that claimed Twitter for a long time systematically removed Trump's supporters' tweets. They were removed from the beginning of the comments section and more lower down too, which comports with what you said about shadow-banning. I also read Twitter used to heavily promote their site's freedom of speech, which makes the individual-banning you referred to seem so much the more a case of obstinance in the face of superior arguments.
:But just because certain people and sites aren't conservative doesn't mean they can't be allies, and I like to think that way as it helps me to stay positive.
:Unfortunately, the idea that conservatism is gaining momentum on the internet seems to be being used, true or not, simply as a springboard for ''Vice'' to dive into purporting that, in general, it is extremist characters that appeal the most to conservatives.
