Bob Socko posted:Looks like Gab is coming back online. Here is an interview with the sucker who’s helping out. Also, nice use of quotes in the opening sentence. Oh it gets better. Here's Epik's blog post on the subject. quote:De-platforming a haven of free speech is not about left or right. Anyone who remembers studying civics is familiar with the concept of inalienable rights — rights that a worthy government can only protect but would have no moral authority to take away. The idea of Natural Law and Inalienable Rights dates back to Ancient Greece, if not before. Tolerance for competing views — including those protected by Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press — is not an American concept even though the Founding Fathers of the United States built a prosperous nation around the concept. Ah yes, the classic double refuge of "it's free speech" and "it's not illegal to say this." quote:One of the unique features of Gab is their democratic approach to capitalization. For an online media portal with exponential growth, there are variety of potential acquirers and investors that would have a keen interest in providing growth capital, even for a business model that is presently loss-making as is the case with Gab. Rather than go down Sand Hill Road, they have opted to follow in the footsteps of Blockchain by designing a distributed ownership model. And while Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) lost some of their heady momentum, the premise of shared ownership for shared outcomes remains compelling. Uhhuh. Bitcoin. Crunchbase describes Epik as something a bit more than just a registrar. quote:The company is marrying a network of domain name with a proprietary content management system and an exclusive partnership with semantic web leader, Evri.com, which is backed by Paul Allen. Evri appears to be no more (as of 2012?), and there's no sign of Epik being anything other than another registrar from the front. The 2009 founding of Epik and 2012 death of their business partner seem to correspond well to the beginning of the bust of the "semantic web" business model. Apparently the "proprietary CMS" was part of another company that Rob Monster owned, but that ended up nowhere and he left as CEO there last year. Rob Monster, whose name I simply refuse to believe is real, has been all over the domain name market in all sorts of deals for at least a decade. The only newsish item I was able to dig up that wasn't just some PR puff piece by industry journals is this blog post at an internet pharmaceutical vendor verification service, yes really, that is upset about Epik and their policies because they won't kick off pharmaceutical vendors doing internet business illegally. In one of the news articles, unfortunately lost to a badly-timed private browsing window closure, Rob showed up in the comments. Someone else came by and complemented him on how good of a businessman and Christian he was. I mention this because their management page is very, very white and the only two women in Director roles just also happen to really feel the need to talk about religion on their corporate profiles. I don't think it'd be too much of a leap to assume that the entire company is just made of chuds from bottom to top. Also, Spergin Morlock posted:Also LOL at being based in Sammamish

Since you mention domain a names, I honestly wonder if Epik is just interest in the Gab.com domain and is offering a place to park it at his registrar and will “acquire” it in the event that Gab goes bust.

I guess it's interesting that CEOs are using pseudonyms now, but I mean, don't tell me moot's real name is Christopher Poole. That dog won't hunt, monsignor. Just more internet bleeding into the real world.

I don't remember if it was gab or one of the other 'free speech' platforms, but when a leftist account ended up being the most followed account there they banned it for 'fraudulent follows' or something.

Question Friend posted:I would say the only way to vaccine against nazis is to have everyone in your country be the same race but then you just get prejudice against like, Samis by Finns or Ainu by Japanese No one cares about the Ainu, the Japanese alt-right is all about hating on generational permanent resident Koreans (about the same proportion of the population as undocumented Latinos in the US) left over from the colonial period. The western tendency to go "but they're first-world east Asians too, so they must be the same race" makes a ton of it go under the radar.

shapiro better be careful, he is close to alex jonesing himself into more of a joke than he already is i was interested to see how many extra subs he got in the past few days since that video and it was barely more than a thousand over the normal amount i was also surprised to see his channel is really small, i always assumed it was massive with all his fox news appearances and shows  i dont understand how somone like candace owens gets a hundred times more popular than him in less than a year when he has been working at it for a decade, is she just a master grifter

Shapiro is the go-to for people who want to be idiot right wingers but also want to pretend an air of intellectualism, he's probably the most popular nazi-aligned podcaster other than Rogan people like him and Charlie Kirk will always be huge, largely reviled losers because their entire presence has nothing to do with their popularity, they are actors with independent means, and the role they play is being "this young person agrees with me, I feel validated!" for olds who consume the media bubble they never leave they will never go away until the Mercers or Kochs or whatever billionaire is funding them decides they're no longer of any value, at which point they will disappear overnight, see Milo

People like Owens are incredibly valuable to the right because they're smart, telegenic, and don't mind reenforcing the racist status quo in exchange for big bucks.

Shapiro owes everything to the Kochs, who found him on some kind of reactionary talent search and bought him every platform he has. I can believe that he has very little organic following: the whole reason the Kochs and the Praeger U millionaires bankroll people like that is to create the impression that right-wing ideas are about as popular as left ideas. They don’t care if anyone actually follows or likes their media creations. Candice at least built her own rickety following as a genuine crazy person willing to beat the pavement in search of Mercer money.

Shapiro is useful cause he basically regurgitates nazi talking points without immediately sounding like a crazy person. The sort of right wingers who are put off by pizzagate and Qanon bullshit really love Shapiro.
