“Censorship guards the narrative, not the truth, in fact it guards the narrative at the expense of the truth”. He nailed it with that one..
Certainly a quote to remember.
The comment above you has 2 comments and I can't read either one. Censorship I suppose. I wonder what we'd call Tucker Carlson being given 44,000 hours of J6 videos by Congress then proceeding to show only 3 short clips while claiming they had an army going over the videos to find more relevant clips but then forgetting the entire thing the next day.
@@bunsw2070 I would go with 'cherry picking' in that instance, personally. Just because there was 44,000 hours doesn't mean the event went on for 44,000 hours - twenty cameras showing different angles of one room gets pretty pointless to show all the different angles. Neither that or the J6 committee doing the same thing (but in their favour) was censorship however - when people tried to prevent carlson from airing the clips now that is when it became censorship.
@@bunsw2070 Sometimes people delete their comments!
@@bunsw2070 Definitely cherry-picking. Even a ton of folks on the right were complaining that they didn't release it all to the public to digest for themselves.
It's a sad reality that out of hundreds of hours of these hearings I've listened to, the CEO of a Satire website gave the most honest, truthful, and powerful statement against big-tech censorship I've ever heard. ....
Satire is typically more honest than most people are comfortable admitting.
@@therealbahamut
That's a fair assessment.
“Fist circut” , “muzzle speech’ . Bb is legendary
It takes true mental sharpness to be a great comedian. You have to see what's wrong and then frame it for others to accept your assessment so well they can't help but laugh. Very necessary wisdom lies within these types of people in our society.
True that
It's so rare anymore that I hear someone say something so coherent and true, that it almost makes me cry
With happiness that some have been awakened to the truth that we are being lied to 24/7 by the news that give forth propaganda of governments within our USA nation of freedom and rights, if you are ready to fight for each right they want to take away from the citizens to give them to governments within this our nation that has turn lawlessness into their habit of the insane people that think they are in control of their asylum !...
cry??
Sounds like a genuine ummmerican nowadays. Cry ... and "hope". A formula for defeat.

The Babylon Bee is known for their prophetic comedy, and the far left hate that.
As a centrist I find their "comedy" moronic at best, and pure cringe at worst. But they should have a platform to spread moronic cringe as far as they want.
@@StephenGillie exactly
@@StephenGillie There is no longer any such thing as a centrist.
@Horatio Fitzbastard Oh, sure there is. You can be a Kierkegaardian Centrist like Bill Maher. Or you can be a Cherry-Picking Centrist like me, taking the best ideas had by Both Sides.
the far left Schutzstaffel hate any comedy, and any speak that they cannot narrate.
It's so damn sad to see that he actually has to get up there and give this speech. Why do they want so bad to ruin our country?
Progressivism is fascism. Progressives of both parties admired Hitler & Mussolini, so it's hardly surprising they admire Premiere Xi now.

“Censorship guards the narrative, not the truth. In fact, it guards the narrative at the expense of the truth.” Seth Dillon, CEO Babylon Bee
Dude is completely on point. Love how he got his timing just right, too, so they couldn’t start gaveling over him at the end.
2:48 "Censorship guards the narrative, not the truth." Very profound words.
censorship guards the narrative at the expense of truths.
Pretty much all corporate media does that.
@@sylviam6535 Conservatives are critical thinkers, so resist narratives, form their beliefs & opinions by processing facts, numbers, experience. When confronted by new, confounding facts they re-examine & alter their beliefs.
Liberals start with their tribal beliefs/opinions, emotionally embrace tribal narratives/dogmas, then ignore, reject, angrily denounce confounding facts, numbers, experiences & attack those presenting them as evil heretics.
Conservatives dominate professions demanding critical thinking bound by hard realities.. farmers, engineers, business, military, etc. where you pay for your own mistakes.
Liberals dominate professions of persuasion, insulated from hard realities.. teaching, government, law, entertainment, journalism… where others pay for their
Logic never sways liberals.
@@sylviam6535 And most corporate media is leftist today, and they are the worst.
1/4 answers visible. That is how it's done.
Babylon Bee speaks more truth than the news.
The "news" is nothing more than propaganda networks.
They and celebrities call themselves 'influencers' now, as if their job is to control what you think
That situation's already building up for years like this. The former "comedians" are the only ones still "allowed" to speak freely about whatever. But the owners of the narratives start to loose their temper and their patience, obviously.
Truth no longer matters to anyone.
Definitely
@@manfredschmalbach9023 If the government will not give our rights back then we will take it by force. I am ready for civil war.
But what's really sad is most of their "jokes" are just the truth. They don't even have to spin things.

@@Michael-mh2tw It's as simple as protecting the 1st amendment. And while these may be privately owned companies, they are performing public services. If any company banned customers outright for holding any liberal views, there would be calls for the company to be shut down or mandated by the government.
Plus, some of these companies are not actually "private property" but publicly traded companies. Zuckerberg may own most of Facebook/Meta, but it's on the market with investors. It's a public company.

@@squaddiepete You’re joking right?
Something that just struck me is that we spend a lot of time on what other people think instead of what their job description entails. Having worked for the gov./mil. for over 30 years I do not remember ever having this whole type scenario going on within the system. This crap started when emotions and radical reactions took center stage. I think they need to GET BACK TO WORK and quit worrying about hurting people's itty bitty feelings.
Exactly
Perfectly stated! 👏👏👏👏👏
Here's what is kinda scary
"To claim that Censorship is Speech is as nonsensical as to say war is peace, or freedom is slavery."
OR to say that a Man... is a Woman
That issue also deals with massive misinformation. People are being told that they can swich sex and they cannot. THAT, by itself, is misinformation. Those ''experts" should be questioned as to why they're stating things as facts when those are not real facts. Real science is based in reality. It seeks to gain concrete knowledge, it doesn't seek to take advantace of people's ignorace in order to promote their personal ideology. That sounds more like a cult than science. So, if you ask me, the licences of those experts should be suspended and reviewed to understand when exactly they believed that people can literally change their genes through surgery. A man is a XY choromosome, a woman is an XX chromosome. No amount of surgery will ever change that and just because people exist with mental illnesses doesn't mean we should be butchering them up with random surgeries. This issue has all the red flags of massive malpractice.
Yup !!
Agree 100 %.
Indeed, and his argument about it being conduct and not speech itself is a great one.
Same people that will tell you 2 + 2 = 5
I’ll bet most of the leftists don’t want to have this debate this week...
What we call "left," today, is not "left." It's right-wing reactionary, trying to make the case that liberty and civil rights are "too dangerous." That's the same thing every emperor has said for millennia. The TRUE left are the people who said "Divine right of kings to absolute power is bullshit." The TRUE left are the people who said government should be strictly bound from infringing on people's rights.
Nanny government? That's not left. That's authoritarian right. Socialism? Everything you need from the government? That's serfdom. "Shut up, because we are taking care of you."
Krupp Steel, the corporation on whose employee benefits the Nazis based their socialist system, exacted a loyalty oath from all employees before they were afforded free health care and education. Company stores with cheap prices on quality goods. Implicit in every government hand-out is the expectation - nay, requirement - of obedience. To take the King's schilling, you first bend the knee to the king.
Self-rule is messy and far from perfect. It's also better than anything else.

I think the thing that most people are missing is that you cannot have a successful debate with either the far left or the far right. They are so deep in cognitive dissonance that they are not able to perceive reality.
I know that a rational person wants to reason with someone of a different view, hopefully in pursuit of the core truths that any reasonable person should be able to recognize. The fact is that one cannot reason with the irrational. It is so disheartening and frustrating, but it is what it is. This applies to both extremes and we really do ourselves a disservice by only pointing at the side we dislike more and acting like the irrationality is concentrated only "over there".
@@deeh5126 I agree to some extent. The part I disagree with is that people will only point at one side we dislike. I and many people I associate with will point at and poke either side if they do something ridiculous or unscrupulous... unfortunately the majority of people perpetuating these unreasonable ideals and pushing "their truth" are the ones who are overwhelmingly emotionally infantile which tends to be more on one side than the other. That's not to say you cannot be emotionally invested or passionate about a subject when you discuss it, but you should debate the stances based on merit and facts rather than desires and feelings.
@@Bancheis I agree with you. One side is led around by emotions and feelings, for the most part, and one side is more concerned with facts. Both are good, in moderation and when they work together. Each on its own, with total (or near total) power is a nightmare. We need each other.
this so true and how most Americans feel!
Rachel Levin should've been in a Monty Python skit. He/she/they/them are hilarious.

We’re adults we shouldn’t be forced to play pretend games that are non-reality just to make a few people feel better about themselves that’s ridiculous. We’re not helping anyone or giving them the real help they need.

None of these children have reached adulthood so playing pretend is only natural for them. Thye were never exposed to reality and don't know the rules of that game. They don't want to learn because they are too complex and "unfair".

Yeah, I'm gonna call him Richard, too. I was even willing to use 'Rachel' for him (but I'll never use 'her') - because I figured, names are just chosen, you can as well change them. While 'Rachel' IS a bit funny name for a man, I thought - well, people are free to pick funny names.
But now I think... nah. I'm gonna call him Richard out of spite.

Why did these government officials think that they could do this?? There has to be severe repercussions for taking peoples rights and freedoms away and subjecting an entire nation to their radical extremism based strictly on their new ideology of what a US government should be.

“Censorship guards the narrative, not the truth, in fact it guards the narrative at the expense of the truth”
Gleicshaltung process...is the act, process, or policy of achieving rigid and total coordination and uniformity (as in politics, culture, communication) by forcibly repressing or eliminating independence and freedom of thought, action, or expression: forced reduction to a common level: forced standardization or assimilation.

Babylon Bee is a great comedy channel. Attacking the comic is like going after the court jester. Often the only guy in a medieval court that could get away with mocking the king. If you cannot laugh at yourself, you are no fun to be around.

There is no such thing as disinformation or misinformation, there is just information. Just like there's no such thing as hate speech, there is speech. It is not the government's nor anyone else's damn job to police what the American people are allowed to see, read, or hear in order to form their own opinions.
I agree entirely with your view on our freedom, but I must beg to differ on the idea that there is no such thing as disinformation or misinformation - EVERYTHING that the Gov't publishes is either misinformation or disinformation!
@@goldeneddie I would also add that it's the governments job to back up its citizens and thus policing in this regard would be about allowing and not preventing speech, but that's just my own grammatical quibble with @jenni0278's post.
It's time more people speak up about the government tramplingvon our rights.
There certainly is misinformation and disinformation. The Babylon Bee does not fall into that catagorization because they are putting out satire, not news.
There is information that is factually incorrect. For example, claiming that 2 + 2 is 5. If you simply can't do math, that's just ignorance - which is normally fixable - unless you are too stubborn. But, I think the point of dis/mis-information is intentionally and maliciously spread information that is factually incorrect when you know differently - aka "a lie." However, I think the notion is even applied to those that sincerely believe the lie and are passionately repeating it - their intent isn't malicious, often the opposite. But, intent does not make something true or false.
truth only bothers the guilty
The hypocrisy is unbelievable
He should've had another joke prepared and said it during his testimony, that would've been EPIC

@@richbrown9839 I hear you. It's absurd.
You know what's weird? When people are dissapointed when your straight. It's happened a few times in my life. Worst experience with a foreman who wanted me to be gay with him for a job. I laughed it off and said my girlfriend wouldn't approve but he was serious and angry I turned him down. I actually lost that job because of his trouble making. You know what they said to me when I went to explain why I had trouble working with him? They said he had privelegis I don't have and I cannot complain if I want my job. I told them he put several lives at risk and they shouted at me I can't file any complaints. Is it wrong for me to talk about that? I don't care what people identify as for it's none of my business. Be yourself and be happy if you can. But when some people target you for not conforming to some way of life... It makes very little sense to me. And I used to coordinate data and materials for big companies before the confusion set in.
Thar is so very true. Our Country is in another universe when they expect us to have this CRAP shoved down my throat. The "freako" has a PENIS AND IS S MALE. I CANNOT AND WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS PERSON AS A FEMALE. I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE THE HELL UP. ITS LIKE TRYING TO CONVINCE SOMEONE OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE TO BE TRUE. THIS PERSON CAN IDENTIFY AS A FREAKING FROG THERE IS MENTAL ILLNESS THERE.
Well if that's all true you have a slam-dunk lawsuit that any attorney could win for you against that company because they discriminated against you.
@@TheFlyingZulu It wasn't a slam dunk at all. I had to go to court over it and also fight for the healthcare we lost during that job. He never showed up but all these lawyers did and my lawyer sure was nervous about all of them. It was a few years ago now but it had a horrible impact on my life and another worker busting our backs carrying material for him. It was bad enough we lost our health insurance but for that guy to pull what he did I was all done with construction. Union, non union whatever. That feuding ruined my life. That guy was gay with the steward who was also NO HELP. So anyway now I play video games here on YT part time while I try to forget about such poor leadership turning tail behind all those lawyers. My lawyer said I could tell the story though so I do on occasion. I had to learn to walk again after his duress bs. Hazing you have to live through to believe. This reminds me those no good ungrateful sobs wouldn't even meet me half way on the back injury. Partial coverage for taking a pipe to the back. Unbelievable. You can't pay me enough to lift a thing for anyone else ever again!
Next time, take the offer and produce compromising material. Massive wasted opportunity there mate.
@@farvatron Wasted opportunity? I just wanted what I earned like the health care we were promised for such job risks. I had way too much inflammation destroying my body to fight for my rights much by that point. Don't get me started on all the dam vaccines we needed to do those jobs. I was supposed to get another booster and a work card that said I had all my boosters so I could keep working. Most of what I did besides climbing was emptying Conex containers of construction materials on my shoulders around job sites. I think I earned a thing or two as a builder. There's too much I could go one about. It didn't make sense why it was happening at the time but it makes more sense lately now which only leaves me thinking... wtf?
Censorship is dangerous.
That's hitting the nail on the head!
Thank you Seth Dillon. You speak for many
Very well done 👏 and prepared.
Censorship is a violation of our rights as American citizens to express our opinion. I fully support the Babylon Bee in voicing their opinion through satire.... Honestly, when did it become the responsibility of the government to dictate what people can or cannot say???
Thank goodness for Rumble!!!
The BB is absolutely brilliant, as is JP Sears (AwakenWithJP).
Beautifully said sir. Here here.
😂 even starts the hearing off with a joke lol Seth is a legend
That is sick and this nonsense needs to go away.
"Remember... It's still a MAN'S world."
Yes. Now men are better at being women then women are. Sick.
Perfect Mr. Seth Dillon. Right on point. Thank You.
I have eye problems, but if Levine is a Woman they are worse than I thought.
From Massachusetts. Embarrassing.
Woman of the year, where the hell did America go.
Babylon Bee is my MAD magazine of the 1960's.
ps I still have most of my paperback Mad magazines from that era in my library.
Truth well-spoken!
One small step for man one giant step for sarcastic humor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Parody being censored.... that's something only tyrants do.
Who cares? It's private property.
@@Michael-mh2tw Platforms aren't editors.
are you hearing the people speaking over him in the background? ugh they always do that in these hearings when they don't want to acknowledge what the witness is saying
Well stated. Thank you
Babylon Bee is the best.
Well done Seth!!
Very well argued. Either Dillon is a lawyer (which I wouldn't doubt) or has spent time with one he has hired. Another example of a citizen standing up for equality and constitutional rights against a tyrannical system. Thank you!
The most powerful thing I've seen online in a long time.
