Government is a necessary evil {emphasis on "evil"}, which is why the Founding Fathers were exceedingly wise to do all they could to limit the powers of the federal government. Unfortunately, Big Brother Government is highly prone towards viewing itself as the end all be all of any society, which is why it is always helpful, every once in a blue moon, to string up the purveyors of government excess from the nearest tree - just to let them know they are public servants, not overlords who get to capriciously pick life's winners and losers.
Rumble, standing firm on their dedication to free speech, found themselves on the receiving end of a right proper scolding from the U.K. Parliament for not barring Russel Brand from their platform. Brand is currently being tried in the court of public opinion by the media for alleged rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse. It is important to note, however, that as of this writing, these are accusations. Serious accusations but nothing has been proven in a court of law as of yet.
Rumble - 🏴☠️ $RUM (@rumblevideo) ~ Attached is the letter from the UK Parliament.
In a nutshell, Parliament is seeking to not only disrupt Brand's potential ability to monetize his content on Rumble but to prevent him from being able to speak on his own behalf in the public sphere at all, and all before he has his day in court.
Here is Rumble's response, and it's PERFECT.
Rumble - 🏴☠️ $RUM (@rumblevideo) ~ Rumble's response to the UK Parliament's letter to our CEO
@chrispavlovski.
Excuse me ... I know I'm not a Brit, but ... stick it up your tyrannical c**t, Dame Caroline Dinenage. Dame Dinenage, 80 years or so ago, hundreds of thousands of British men died so you wouldn't have to live under Nazi oppression. Don't be a complete ass and choose to act like a Nazi, now - you stupid bitch.
Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) ~ I just became a Rumble fan.
Laurence Fox (@LozzaFox) ~ This is an incredibly bad look for a regime that are about to pass an “online safety bill.”
For your own good.
Guilty until proven innocent.
Every opportunity is a power grab. They will not stop.
Resist.
THANK YOU! The only way this madness ends is with mass non-compliance. Learn to let them sit there and bask in their anger by themselves. Let their little echo chambers comfort them.
Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) ~ Look for Apple and Google to deplatform Rumble next.
We wouldn't put it past them.
Val (@ExcusedEarly) ~ Thank you, Rumble. You have my support as long as you remain true to your mission. People really need to wake up NOW. Government censorships are getting out of hand, and if we normalize this now, we say good bye to free speech AND any semblance of democracy, forever.
Now, we know we are not a pure democracy, but they make a good point here. For the same group of people who are constantly screeching to 'SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY,' they sure seem to be in a hurry to tear down the very foundations of what makes democracy work.
The CEO himself even weighed in.
Chris Pavlovski (@chrispavlovski) ~ The attacks on Rumble are relentless, from all angles, and accelerating.
Having the support of the people to defend what's right (constitutional values) is all I need to keep taking the punches and moving forward.
I can never thank our supporters enough for getting behind us. ❤️
Content creators everywhere stand with you, Chris.
