"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Time for someone to create a "GunTube" site so we can all tell Youtube to FOAD.

I'd be happy with a "freedomtube" that includes things and viewpoints that I disagree with. They could have gun channels and anti-gun channels and that would be A-OK with me. I'll make up my own damn mind, thank you very much.

I bet this cancellation of Brownell's account can be traced back to one anti-gun Youtune employee.

Hicock 45's channel is still up. I wonder why they singled out Brownell's.

maybe, to the uninformed, it was a channel showing how to modify firearms, which we all know is bad, right.   ;/

The problem with trying to replace YouTube/Facebook/Twitter is that "everyone" uses those sites, so if you want anyone to see your video, or read your rant, or if you want to communicate with whatshername from high school, you can't just substitute some other site.

I get a 404 on that link.

At least one of the BookFace reloading groups I follow is reforming whole hog over at mewe.

BookFace is annoying in so many ways.  MeWe in other, different ways.

I heard an interview with the founder of MeWe a little while ago. It might have been this one:

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

mewe.com/join/armed_polite_society2 is the only one I was aware of. Just asked to join 1. We need to kill off the imposter group although Oleg is "god" over group 2 along with Andy D. so what's up with that?

A couple of years ago I created the Armed Polite Society (2) group.  When was the Armed Polite Society (1) group created?

I need to check out MeWe again. I joined back when it originally started and then never went back.
