It is expected. Anyone being awake is a threat to those half sleep! It is the herd mentality and can be intimidating but then you can see threw their tough/angry exterior and find a frightened group of sheeple...

I've experience something similar myself. After my civil criticism of a public figure on Facebook (that Facebook to its credit said did not violate community standards after the mob attacked it) was forced offline by a court and a threat of a year in jail, it took UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh's help to get my state's "cyberstalking" law knocked down in order to share my civil criticism without going to jail. But after the court victories, the death threats started and the mob was successful in getting my Twitter page taken down for apparently seeming like it was automated (or so I'm told). So I found Gab as an alternative...

Now the fact that I have a Gab account is used by guilt of association to paint me as crazy by the same people who have been trying to silence my social media.

These people want to silence us by any means necessary. It's as simple as that. Those interested can read about my long and deadly-serious struggle for free speech just down the road from Evergreen State at [StopClarenceMoriwaki.com]

Don't you realise that alternative views to the leftist orthodoxy are strictly forbidden?

I once heard an SJW openly (and she thought, reasonably) say, "If you don't agree with me on the points I'm making, then we can't even have this conversation!"

Then she says that she advocates tolerance. The irony is palpable.

In short, "No!." I have not read anything negative about the IDW. I think it's because I have a small friends list (still under 100) of people I actually know IRL. I tried a few friends of friends connections, and none of them worked out.

I tried to find some negative stuff about the IDW, and didn't find much.

I figure the main stream is vehemently against any alternate platforms, and will attempt to prevent alternate platforms, then take alternate platforms down when they got big.

I think Fox News has taken a sharp leftward turn recently, and this is due to management changes. Many supposedly neutral platforms and news sources aren't actually neutral, and some which purport to be conservative actually slip in Leftist propaganda from time to time.

I am continually on the lookout for reliable news sources and venues to enjoy conversations. It's a jungle out there.

i can't believe that yall are using facebook as a forum for this type of discussions. hell, this discussion forum cured me of facebook. i can like yall based on how yall think, what yall think, how you argue and what you argue about. not that you threw up a deviant meme that i can use to offend half my family using facebook and start cutting and scarring relationships that i am trying to heal and maintain through pursed lips and gentle queries. i get more grief from my right leaning friends than my left. i can get a left to say, oh really hmm. my rights if i point against them it is cold shoulders and rumors

I never pay attention to most of that kind of nagative stuff. Why bother attention is what they what.

I’ve noticed that too. Rogan gets a lot of hate... I think people fear what they don’t understand.

I haven’t seen the comments, but I am not surprised since leftists have been calling for actual violence against perceived “microaggressions” for quite some time now. These days, wearing a MAGA hat can be dangerous and put your physical safety at risk.

Leftists are not only acting on these threats, but believe they are justified in physically assaulting anyone who disagrees with them because, well - “tolerance”.

I haven't but am not surprised to hear about hate from the radical left. They have become a mob and that's exactly why we need websites like this.

No I haven't seen those responses myself, but I am not surprised. The hate and vitriol towards anybody who wants to discuss issues with less than an extreme leftist bent is common.

That is the very reason I decided to look into this site ... because it claimed to promote civil discourse, and so far that has been my experience here. I would hope that more people who are tired of the backbiting and name-calling would find this site or create more like it

There are nasty comments about this site posted all over Reddit and Twitter as well.

Which IDW FB groups are you referring to?

Hate and intolerance is the common denominator amongst the ignorant. The default response is to spew it, regardless of how it perfectly defines one’s character.

I haven't seen it . Haven't gotten anything negative on my posts . I suspect that Facebook would create bot profiles to troll targeted users .
