  1. LGBTQUIA is the most dangerous of all the hate groups, second only to the Democrats.

  2. I don't know who is more hateful than the USA intelligence officials. It would be like the KKK calling totalitarian communist they are hateful, and think that means they are better. Why don't you cover all the foul things the US intelligence officials do. O that is right I forgot Media is the 4th branch of the government, so it would be like me asking the KKK to call them selves out for being foul. Then you worthless trash always use it for a call to give a proven group the USA government that cause more hate, fear, destruction, and death than any kkk group more money. Its like you guys just can't figure out these people in power use small groups of thugs to scare you, real or imagery then offer you a solution to the problem they created in the first place. I dono why you can't figure it out, the USA has been doing it for longer than I have been alive.

  3. Who will warn us of intelligence officials?

  4. Who woulda thought anyone would find secret ways too relay messages using social media platforms? Moving with the times…..

  5. Funny how you only focus on specific groups, but completely ignore other "hate groups" because they are of a different color. Yet, the ones you claim are White Supremacy groups, actually have members who aren't even White.

  6. not good letting the hate just build up if you have hate in your heart you need to chill & let the hate flow through you

  7. This news piece is all over the place and grasping at straws.

  8. Only in the US, freedom fighters are considered terrorist. Only in the US, free speech is considered hate speech. The country badly need more Trump and Elon Musk.

  9. All men are created equal. After birth, Life separates the wheat from the chaff.

  10. If there's sufficient staffing for monitoring of online communications and social media hosted on the US leased or interstate Infrastructure (maybe as a Regulatory condition, instead of altering Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) it'd be more reasonable to monitor online forums correlated with criminal activities without necessarily decrypting or reading presumably Private Conversations, right? Isn't anything on the Internet that doesn't restrict Access via some form of Registration and Login or Payment presumed to be presented Publicly to the online world?

  11. American media stars Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk… No integrity, honor or moral compass. Rich kids, Mama's boys, Putin supporters, serial liars and master manipulators..They create chaos for their own amusement

  12. I recently, about 4 months ago, started getting stuff flagged by facebook that should have never been flagged. It got so ridiculous that I just stopped using facebook completely. The final straw was when a meme I posted in 2014 that was making fun of hilter, had him in drag saying "oh nein you didn't!", got flagged and my account limited in some way. I'm not pro-hilter or an extremist of any kind, neither left nor right, and my stuff gets flagged left and right but literal extremists on fbi lists and whatnot are fine. My last post on facebook was about me never posting on facebook again so now I have to follow through since it is facebook official.

  13. The boogaloo boys 🤔

  14. Memes are a part of all us. You expose someone to negative emotions long enough and they will begin to express them as well. Memes are the DNA of the soul.

  15. Never thought I'd see the day whites and latinos came together to become anybody killers 😮

  16. Didn't they help the Democrats organize those BLM folk to burn down cities?

  17. Aotearoa, New Zealand and Aotearoa New Zealand are all official names for my country.

    Kia Ora (Be well) is our official greeting. Our anthem is sung in Māori and English. NZ currency has Māori and Pākehā shown on the notes.

    Even once apartheid South Africa, has now been ruled by dark brown for 39 years and has an anthem containing several local languages.

    The US has No official indigenous greeting, The Land of the Brave on Reservations and not shown on currency. Why does America refuse to grow up?

  18. The last 7+ mass shooters have been left-wing

  19. I've noticed this, in leftist groups. They are, very violent.

  20. I can’t imagine what being this type of a willfully ignorant person that is consumed by ridiculous spiteful and selfish behaviors truly must be like. Miserable and exhausting. What a waste of time in ones life. Gullible people are dangerous.

  21. Fact checking memes is why they do them

  22. Free speech what is that I live in the country and can't say anything!

  23. Media always ahead of the curve

  24. Here we go… their segue to criminalize memes the govt doesn't like or supports their narrative contrary to our constitutional free speech. If it breaks a website rule or a law, take action. Don't like it, ignore it. Don't like your kids looking at it, be a better parent & keep your kids safer on their electronic devices.

  25. If you see It .. Report it. It's usually your neighbor's and you had No Idea.

  26. If it got Trump elected in 2016, why would they stop now? 🤪🤪🤪 Here is 2024!

  27. These groups are known domestic terrorists. Where is the FBI? Why aren't they monitoring this?

  28. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

  29. Republicans are nothing but domestic terrorists now days

  30. I like some of these reports vs the primetime show overload….. That digital tone at transitions: nails on a chalkboard!!

  31. M$M CALLING FOR CENSORSHIP

  32. I'm not a thumbplucking troller.

  33. You news people couldn’t be more off topic than this. Hate is hate and stupid breeds stupid and no other names need to be used in order to boost ratings.

  34. memes…rly? C'mon man.

  35. Typical suspects, such fragile egos of these weak men.
