Patreon's Actions have led to my income falling over $5,000 per month and they know it. Banning Sargon was a push on the line, action against the center. They stated that certain people don't want to be associated with "free speech" but they leave up much worse offenders. This means that they are siding with regressive social justice activists who just don't like Sargon. In doing so they have damaged ALL of our incomes. After many people moved to Subscribe Star I was actually doing better. But with far left activists getting them shut down my subscriber income is now in question.

Democrats CAUGHT In Russian Bot "False Flag" Smear Campaign in the Alabama special election. A group called new Knowledge is claiming that the admitted false flag against Republicans was just a small experiment. They were responsible for a mas amount of presumably Russian bots following the Roy Moore campaign on Twitter to trick people into thinking the Russians were propping him up. National media fell for the ruse and the narrative went viral. Left wing writers mocked the Moore campaign for suggesting this was a democratic ploy to smear him. We now know it was. They can claim it was an experiment but this reeks of democratic operatives serving engaging in a political con job and may have actually swung an election. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZsxSVycCwU&index=2&list=PLxQaod7tWvYLNmno21esPdhZknpqmh0H0&t=0s Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Tucker Boycott, Sargon Ban Prove Social Justice Is Just A Cover and that Activists don't really care. Nate Silver came to the defense of Tucker and social justice activists accused him of just being a white male and not understanding marginalization, except he does as an LGTB Jewish man. These far left activists don't actually care about these causes as evidenced by the Tucker boycott or with Patreon defending the right over Sargon. It shows that this is a tribal action not a political one, that these social justice and feminist activists just want to "win" against their perceived opponents.

Patreon May Have Violated Anti Trust Laws In Sargon Debacle. YoutuberLaw and I discuss the issue of Anti Trust laws and whether or not there was collusion to shut down competition following the ban of Sargon Of Akkad, aka Carl Benjamin. There doesn't seem to be a reason for payment processors to shut down a deal with a Patreon competitor other than to protect Patreon from the damage it caused itself. Youtube Law is a tech lawyer who weighs in on the issue. Perhaps its an issue of social justice activists targeting Sargon but it could also be a greater attempt to stifle competition to their platform.

Activists Target Top Patreon Accounts, Proving Hypocrisy. A few top podcasts have histories of breaking Patreon's rules and some activists have begun to highlight these channels. One thread on reddit was recently removed as it provided proof of a top Patreon podcast overtly breaking the rules. This has created an interesting problem as people in favor of free speech won't resort to the same tactics employed by those seeking to deplatform people. Patreon has made itself a battlefield in the culture war by entering the fight but the left and social justice activists have no sympathy for Patreon. Some on the left have already been highlighting podcasts that break the rules. The Number 5 largest account has recently joined in to support Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, over the banning of Sargon of Akkad, aka Carl Benjamin. Could this start a cascade that ends with Patreon facing its end? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Activists Are Targeting Tucker Carlson, Show Losing Sponsors. Following statements made by Tucker Carlson about immigration and the migrant caravan social justice activists began sending letters and complaints to companies running ads on his program. Several sponsors have pulled out of the show so far. The primary criticism started after Carlson questioned diversity on a program in September and it would seem far left activists have maintained the campaign against his show. Fox News and Carlson have refused to back down and issued a lengthy statement about defending their free speech from left wing activists.

Patreon's Takes MAJOR Hit After Banning Of Sargon of Akkad. Sam Harris, the 13th largest Patreon account, shut down his account abruptly following a statement by Dave Rubin and jordan Peterson over the banning of Carl Benjamin, aka Sargon of Akkad. Either Patreon are liars or they are grossly incompetent as their platform is rife with racial slurs and hate speech. Yet for some reason they were able to find an obscure reference to shut Sargon Down. Many people say this was not social justice or feminist activists targeting Sargon, in fact it was the far right. But after Sargon moved to SubStar far left activists got the entire platform effectively shut down harming dozens of unrelated and innocent creators.

Leftists LIE About CBP Officers Who Tried To Save Little Girl. The story is sad, a little girl lost her life after a long journey to the US. But Customs and Border Protection officers did seemingly everything they could to save this little girl, even bringing in an air ambulance. But Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and the ACLU are painting CBP as the culprits in this story. I can only assume the fake news push is an attempt at fundraising, getting attention, or general tribalism among the social justice and open borders activists they want support from.

Lefty Millennial Media Companies Are Collapsing, Investors Pull Out. Vice and Vox have both missed revenue projections, Disney has written down their investment in Vice by 157 Million dollars, and Buzzfeed resorted to selling cookware at Walmart. Social justice, the far left, and intersectional feminism were easy ways for companies to generate anger to get clicks but as Facebook and Google derank this type of content these media companies are losing money and slowly collapsing. Will this mean regressive leftists lose mainstream appeal as the media activists that support them lose their jobs? Or will these companies double down to the extreme in an effort to scrape what little money they can from the bottom of the digital barrel?

SubscribeStar Already Hit By Activist Outrage, Paypal Payouts FROZEN which means I likely will not be able to collect donations through SubscribeStar. The company said that they will get your money to you no matter what so we will see what happens. Following the banning of Sargon of Akkad, aka Carl Benjamin, a few dozen creators moved to SubscribeStar. Shortly after that activists began posting and calling groups to action to target the service. Following this SubscribeStar removed Paypal from its website and no longer allows payouts with the service, claiming that Paypal had requested its removal. Eventually all that will be left of these platforms Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
