No coincidence that both Twitter and Google have targeted ZeroHedge recently. The group-think platforms are making their move in tandem to smash anything they disagree with politically.

Twitter recently reversed their de-platform move against ZeroHedge because they're about to get into deep legal shit for intentionally applying different standards to different users (ZH got nuked off of Twitter for a doxxing event (that wasn't a doxxing at all) that occurred on the ZH website, not on Twitter; but Twitter has ignored some other prominent cases of doxxing that actually happened on Twitter, including an infamous case by Spike Lee in which he publicly posted an incorrect address for George Zimmermann, which could have easily gotten someone killed). The ZeroHedge ban was a prominent and obvious instance of bias on the part of Twitter, so they had to clean it up.

You're kidding yourself if you don't recognize that ZH and The Federalist are both exceptionally irrational groupthink cults.

The federalist isn't, it's articles are closer to national review but maybe more populist. It was a shock to see it was mentioned; it's not something like Unz or anything.

Uh, the NE has done a great job of turning itself into a clown show of late...

So is Google.
