PragerU has been mentioned a few times here at SIG Forum. One post referenced them being shadow-banned earlier this year. In the same spirit of the thread supporting Mark Dice, I'd like to suggest we get on board and follow/support PragerU. They too have been shadow-banned and partially demonetized by the Google/YouTube/Facebook world.

PragerU creates five minute videos - and some other content - in support of conservative principals. They don't get into politics per se, rather they probe ideas and history. IMO they do an excellent job explaining those conservative principals. They teach and inspire. They don't threaten or play on emotion.

You certainly can support them financially, but another way is to share their content. Here is a video published earlier this month Facebook labeled as "hate speech" and shadow-banned. This morning Facebook "revised" their decision after a lot of pressure.

Here's another video explaining the US Constitution's 3/5ths Compromise. This is very relevant today as I've heard many kids incorrectly assume - or be taught - the "old white guys" thought slaves to be only a partial person.

I'm not associated with PragerU, but I have financially supported them. Your donations are tax deductible as PragerU is a 501(c)3, tax-deductible charitable organization.

Currently, all donations made to PragerU are being matched by an anonymous donor.

How the left is outsourcing censorship of the Internet. From John Hinderaker at Powerline Blog. John does touch on the issues Prager have been dealing with when it comes to social media platforms.

Abstract
quote:
... The government can’t suppress conservative speech on the ground that it is “hate speech,” i.e., something that liberals don’t like. That was recently reaffirmed by a 9-0 decision of the Supreme Court.

So liberals have outsourced censorship of the internet to the tech titans of Silicon Valley. ...

The proper solution may lie in creating competitive platforms, or in legislative, regulatory or judicial action.
I think the only viable solution is the former.

Yep.
Be careful what you are asking for when you seek legislative, regulatory or judicial action. It often cements the position of the big players who can afford the lobbyists to make sure the new regulation is cumbersome and burdensome enough to keep new players out of the game.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I just went and donated - I have shared their videos countless times over the years. Also subscribed to their YouTube channel and Liked their Facebook page and joined their closed group. We owe it to these groups to show our support for their good work. It makes it harder for the liberal fascists to justify their bans, although it looks like they are not even feeling a need to justify it any more.

"Barriers to entry"

I used to work for the legal dept of a very large corp. The company had a large contingent of lobbyists. Talking to some of them was an eye-opening experience. I thought they were trying to get the legislature to peel back laws and regulations. Nope. They were often trying to make them more complex and burdensome so that it was difficult and costly for less well-heeled companies to compete.

For today and tomorrow (Aug. 30 & 31), your donation to Prager is triple-matched by a donor chipping in up to $300k.

Another video, with the direct link right here. Connecticut jumped on this treasonous trend in May. This is an older topic, but still very relevant. For the videos I've watched, Prager does a very good job explaining these topics.

Through March 31, donations made to PragerU will be triple matched. Occasionally, this opportunity comes up. As mentioned before, I think the content is valuable, and it's pretty rotten various social media channels restrict or de-monetize some of their content.

Head here: https://donate.prageru.com/giv...#!/donation/checkout

And a recent video for you...



Watch it on the PragerU website - https://www.prageru.com/video/...talism-vs-socialism/

I gave yesterday, but I’ll go back and do it again with the match.
Prager is probably the most worthwhile of the many conservative groups I give money to.
