The Fascist Right Plays Dirty and They Absolutely Want to Silence Decent People Forever

Hello Friends,I think the main thing that makes me irritated right now is when people try to insist that we need to “remain friends” with verifiably awful people. The standard setting of the media is that those of us who object to having racists call our children indefensible slurs is that we shouldn’t “end relationships over politics.”Seriously, they are still saying that even now. I’ve heard them say we should “get over ourselves” and just “grow up.”This is in response to a political movement that harasses, detains, tortures, and even murders completely innocent people including children.Despite that, members of the media have the nerve to tell us we’re the ones who are wrong when we stand up and demand accountability? That makes me angry. That should make you angry. It should also compel you to take note of the platforms that promote that viewpoint so you can withdraw any and all sponsorship.You do not need that kind of toxic ideology pumped into your brain. The way verifiably evil people get coddled in the media at the same time as unquestionably decent people get vilified is enough to make me sick.At some point, we have to assemble these, along with other data points, to create a model that gives us an idea of the true corruption of the world. When you stand back and look at everything objectively, when you tune out the lies and all the conditioning you’ve been groomed with since you were old enough to understand words, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that we’re living in corrupt, foul, and oppressive time.Full stop.In fact, it’s so bad that anyone who even suggests that might not be the case is targeted for censorship. Heck, they want us completely silenced and they don’t even pretend that’s not the case.Over the weekend, I was hit by another fascist censorship strategy. I get these all the time, but they still sting. I’m not going to go into the details because I don’t want to create an outline for how to hit me. I will say that this last round cost me some money.Again, it was a completely dishonest attack that uses the injustices that are already baked into our existing systems to come after an innocent person. This is just another reminder that we’re all vulnerable to this. No matter how good you think things are going for you, the mechanism is already in place to silence you and take everything from you.That’s just a fact. I’m not trying to scare you, I just want everyone to be on the same page regarding the level of corruption we’re up against.The people who come out of the bushes demanding we give “thanks” for how great everything is, are the ones who go to holiday family reunions in order to sexually assault their nieces. Then nobody listens to the nieces, and the jerks on the television lecture us about how we shouldn’t cut out members of our family over politics.It’s a pyramid of abuse and it’s crushing us.After the initial shock of some all-too-frequent fascist assault, you’re left wondering about the kind of person who would do something like that. This is a person who spent some amount of their time on this Earth conceiving of a plan to hurt somebody they don’t even know. The only thing they have to live for is the “satisfaction” of getting a couple bucks from anyone who tries to advocate for compassion and human dignity.In the past, this kind of thing used to hurt me more, but I’ve been through it enough now that I’ve created a fairly accurate personality profile for these kinds of attackers. They’re just pathetic, miserable people with nothing in their lives. They’re pitiable, and all their destructive plans are going to be met with failure. These are people who fail even though our corrupt society has been rigged to give them every single advantage. Look around! All the pressure you get from the media benefits them. They are the heirs to the fortunes amassed through the criminal theft of labor. They have every benefit that this life could offer anyone, and still they can think of nothing other than spite and misery.You do not want people like this around your kids. That’s the message our media should be spreading.Yeah, when I first realized what had happened, I had a moment of irritation. But then I went online and I posted about it, and I was treated to a huge show of support. I have to thank everyone now. My wonderful readers allow me to keep spreading an alternative vision of the future. It’s a future where the president isn’t allowed to insult hardworking reporters by telling them to “shut up” or calling them “piggy.” It’s a future where all human life is treated as sacred, and the military doesn’t brag about murdering completely innocent people. It’s a future where nobody has to go bankrupt because of the cost of healthcare because healthcare, education, food, and housing have been recognized as human rights. It’s a future where diversity, compassion, kindness, and reason are celebrated instead of derided.It’s a future that looks completely different than what we have now.Yes, there are objectively awful people out there who want to silence me and any other person who advocates for this kind of world. These are the beneficiaries of abuse and oppression, and they have access to almost limitless funds. They’re going to use those funds to sit in their bunkers and target people like me for “silencing.” They’ve tried to do it my whole life.But it’s not going to work. I’m still here. I’m going to keep talking, and I’m going to win because I have truth on my side.So, yeah, there are moments when I take a hit and I feel down for a moment. But in those moments, I know that I have a wonderful community that will prop me back up. We’re all coming to the realization of the cheap and dishonest tactics our opponents are going to use. They are the ones that censor us even as they turn around and scream the lie that they are being censored. They are the ones that make false accusations even though they are the ones who are abusing and exploiting our children.Little by little, their lie is getting more and more exposed. But it’s a big lie with many layers, and as we peel each layer away we get closer and closer to the rotten truth.Last weekend wasn’t the first time they tried to shut me up. It won’t be the last time. But we’re in this fight until the end. The only way we lose is if we quit, and that’s not going to happen because then we’d become enablers of evil.Whenever you are afraid to speak truth to power, remember the only alternative is to live a lie.There’s no compromise with what we’re up against. There’s no “agree to disagree.” There’s no “we can disagree and still be friends.”We’re fighting an ideology that protects and enables child abusers. They exploit us at every level. They try to silence anyone who speaks out against them. They have every single advantage including money, the media, and our political system.Yet we’re still going to win because, at the root of it all, they’re incompetent.They are scared.They know it.So, once again, thanks for being there!
