It is a full blown culture war:
YouTube has updated its policies on content featuring firearms, leading to the suspension of a large gun manufacturer and forcing popular gun content creators to remove videos from their channels.
“While we’ve long prohibited the sale of firearms, we recently notified creators of updates we will be making around content promoting the sale or manufacture of firearms and their accessories, specifically, items like ammunition, gatling triggers, and drop-in auto sears,” reads a statement from a YouTube spokesperson.
The list of prohibited content now includes links to sites that sell firearms, videos that teach installation of certain accessories, and videos that teach the entirely legal acts of manufacturing guns and reloading ammunition. Here are the specific guidelines from YouTube:
YouTube prohibits certain kinds of content featuring firearms. Specifically, we don’t allow content that:
? Intends to sell firearms or certain firearms accessories through direct sales (e.g., private sales by individuals) or links to sites that sell these items. These accessories include but may not be limited to accessories that enable a firearm to simulate automatic fire or convert a firearm to automatic fire (e.g., bump stocks, gatling triggers, drop-in auto sears, conversion kits), and high capacity magazines (i.e., magazines or belts carrying more than 30 rounds).
? Provides instructions on manufacturing a firearm, ammunition, high capacity magazine, homemade silencers/suppressors, or certain firearms accessories such as those listed above. This also includes instructions on how to convert a firearm to automatic or simulated automatic firing capabilities.
? Shows users how to install the above-mentioned accessories or modifications.
Spike’s Tactical, a Florida-based manufacturer of guns and accessories, posted on their Facebook and Instagram on Tuesday that their YouTube account has been suspended for violating community guidelines.
I welcome this. The more they turn into Soy-boy-tube, the easier it will be for alternatives to rise.
I can remember being in high school, and teachers I hadn’t seen for a year were responding to some chaotic current event, that might have been a portent of civil unrest, by tracking me down in the halls and asking me in hushed tones how they could learn about guns and how to shoot for self defense. I was happy to draw more people into the ranks of second amendment supporters, and I would assume they have guns for protection today.
The more Youtube tries to ban all K-selected content, the more that nascent K’s at the Apocalypse are going to be forcibly driven to alternatives to find the content they need to survive, and the less cache Youtube will carry with people.
All that we need now is for people to settle on what the alternative will be.
YouTube first does this, which is a major annoyance until more people migrate their videos over to Full30, Bitchute, and other new video service competitors who will embrace the YT ad business model, and people will begin to not visit YT for their video fixes, thus cutting their own revenue models severely as time goes by. They won’t last, and this will become a future model case for business schools about the importance of being neutral in the political sphere.
Citibank is trying the same thing right now, figuring arrogance from the leaderships’ part is enough to change the physical narrative. The free market will eventually show them why stamping their feet doesn’t work to make positive P/L statements, but we all have to go through the first learning phases together.
Having worked in American politics for years, I’ve seen this self-destructive behavior first-hand, and it is the height of amusement when 1) these people are shown the door, and 2) remaining leadership has to clean up the mess left behind. They’re not always successful.
Besides the coordination of certain Deep State businesses to stop the uncovering of uncomfortable truths (especially Citi, who’s been for decades an original part of the Establishment problem), there’s another simple reason for these decisions being made in this form.
“Play the man, not the ball.”
Hiring psychopaths for leadership positions is the nation’s greatest unrecognized public health crisis. If you want to expand your r/K thinking model, do some searches on those terms. Here’s a start:

There are a number of books out on this subject that are worth a read. Remember, certain companies in the City of London a few years ago were advertising for executives who possessed these traits. Psychology models looking at business trends demonstrated these kinds of individuals took higher risks for higher financial gains, but none of the “highly educated” individuals making these corporate leadership decisions thought of the long-term aspects of keeping these lunatics on the payroll.
One problem with this is the same people who control all these media sites are the same people that control all the large corporations and their advertising budgets. They also control different advertising systems that bundle all these advertising making it difficult to just replace one piece of the puzzle. You can host all the videos you want and still not get any advertising revenue or at least not enough to matter. I think the way to go is to store the videos around the hard drives of the users themselves like BitTorrent does to files. This is being done but it needs work. It could be much faster than normal downloads with enough users. To make it profitable advertising could be streamed with the videos. Since it’s a whole new system it will take time. I think it will happen though. I haven’t watched TV ( a few glimpses every now and then) in decades and eventually they will turn off all the people who are sick of the anti-White, anti-conservative brainwashing. Once these people go away they won’t come back.
This is not a war on guns but a proxy war on whites and men.
I like the idea of some sort of “hard”version. Less portable perhaps unless we invent some sort of small recording and display device. It would be digital but we might need to return to slower methods of sharing. In my home town there is still an old pigeon hobbiest hall built by the guys who bred and raced pigeons back in the day. Whites are good at training animals to help them. We need all the help we can get. So, get off you electronic device and head into 3D world and work with dogs, horses and even pigeons to help you farm and communicate.
There is a lot of wisdom in what you just said. We are heading into to a time when just simply not being sufficiently enthusiastic about liberal ideas can get you banned, fired, sued, unpersoned, or even put in prison. In the USSR there was an underground culture that went by the Russia acronym of SAMIZDAT. What it meant was that if someone had a book or historic treasure, they hid it and shared it only with others they trusted completely. They would hand write copy books such as the bible or great works of literature and then distribute copies. This in a culture where the NKVD registered every radio and copy machine. It is what helped preserve Russian culture through their Dark Ages.
The next skirmish in the culture war: Reddit bans communities that foster any transaction involving “certain items”. Alcohol? Illegal Drugs? Ok I get that. Guns? Cryptocurrency?

The era of rabbitry, they can make it softer but they can’t make it longer.
