makes sense to own the means of communication, to shape the narrative.
Ye on Parler will present a pretty clear challenge to US norms of freedom of speech - he is a vocal anti-semite (whilst at the same time claiming to be Jewish)and I doubt very much that ownership of any platform will moderate his views.

- sali0 4y agoI know many won't like this, but I think he meant Defcon 3, which I'm still not sure what it implies. I highly doubt he meant to issue death threats the way that people are perceiving this. Not to excuse his actions.

- europeanguy 4y ago> he is a vocal anti-semite (whilst at the same time claiming to be Jewish) You know, there's a name for this. It's called a black Israelite. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_Israelites https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_Israelites
- guerrilla 4y ago> According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), "Some, but not all [Black Hebrew Israelites], are outspoken anti-Semites and racists." As of December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center "lists 144 Black Hebrew Israelite organizations as black separatist hate groups because of their antisemitic and anti-white beliefs".
