While I have no sympathy for Parler or its users, I find it quite scary that these big companies have the power to wipe out an entire social network. They wouldn't hesitate to do this to leftists given any excuse.
Yeah I think there’s going to be a lot of efforts to bring discussion back under to the normal, and more friendly to the status quo, kind of dems vs gop discourse over the next couple years.
I mean the horses are out of the stable at this point on populism and all that but I think there will be a concerted effort by capital to crack down on it soon.
Easier to let this shit run wild than to rein it in.
Republicans tried that in '88 and were eating shit by '92. They only recovered by going Gingrich, and even then it was a bumpy ride.
Concervatives look like they're just going to cannibalize the Dem party from the inside and make this a One Party County, with a fascist rump of a GOP.

As with most news lately, the appropriate reaction is equal parts:
Its almost like allowing privately owned, for profit companies to run wild until they hold all the capital and power has consequences.
