well, I found a video threatening our mayor, who has already survived two assassination attacks, and reported the video, so yes, banning jihadis and those who promote violence is justified (free speech doesn't mean you can yell "fire" in a crowded theatre) but now you can be banned for more subtle things.
Article on the Patreon purge.
again, led by the atheist stoics:
On January 1st, 2019, YouTube celebrities Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin announced they were leaving Patreon because the payment-processor banned classical liberal YouTuber Sargon of Akkad in December. This followed atheist neuroscientist Sam Harris's December 17th tweet which concluded Patreon persecuted political dissidents...
Peterson mused: "...one of the things that I can't fathom, in some sense, is the lack of imagination on the part of the people who are engaging in censorship of what they regard as hate speech...there's an old military adage which is that if you invent a weapon it will be used by your enemy within 15 years

Austin Bay has more about blood cobalt and the DRC which could be heading into another bloody civil war.
If you advocate electric vehicles and dote on cellphones whose manufacture depends on Congo’s minerals, then the Democratic Republic of Congo’s flawed Dec. 30 presidential election matters because it can affect your digital lifestyle. Congo’s stability also matters if you value human life. In Congo’s last civil war (Great Congo War, 1996-2003) some three million to five million people died in anarchic combat and from starvation, disease and exposure exacerbated by war.
in this, the Catholic bishops are backing honest elections.
Instapundit adds:
VERY RELATED: Chapter Six, Cocktails from Hell: Anarchic Violence, Cyclic Intervention, and Mineral Wealth. The chapter gets into China’s interest in Congolese cobalt. Check out Glenn’s USA Today review and James Jay Carafano’s National Interest review.

fact checking Trumpie boy (via Instapundit):
OUR BRAVE “FACT-CHECKERS” BUST TRUMP FOR AN UNDERSTATEMENT ON BORDER RAPES, THEN SCRUB IT FROM THEIR REPORT BECAUSE IT HELPS HIM:CBS caught Trump in a lie. Hilarity ensues.
one reason so many Catholic priests have been murdered in Mexico is because they have been helping the migrants escape from the drug cartels who are making money off of people smuggling.
CBS decided to help Democrats by fact-checking in real time President Trump’s address on the need for a wall.
CBS reported, “Fact check: Number of women sexually assaulted on trip to border.
“CLAIM: The president claimed one in three women have been sexually assaulted traveling to the border.
“FACT
CHECK: Between 60 percent and 80 percent of female migrants traveling through Mexico are raped along the way, Amnesty International estimates.”Hilarious. Who is in charge? Ralph Wiggums?
Thanks for making the president’s point.
The network later scrubbed that from its fact-check.
one reason for the migrant caravans was to try to help people by moving them in a protected group.
one reason for bringing the kids is that they give you a guarantee you won't be immediately thrown out. So compassion is encouraging putting kids into harm's way.
whether you see them as Jesus and Mary fleeing Herod, or the Goths fleeing the Huns at the Danube (which ultimately resulted in the destruction of the Roman Empire) depends on what movie you are watching, (to quote a favorite meme at Dilbert's blog).
