Pensively I sit in my Facebook jail cell, pondering the error of my ways and preparing for the inevitable revoke of my parole, fully aware that I am unrepentant, incorrigible and irredeemable before the powers of social media hall monitors.
My preparation includes printing hard copies of as many of my community non-compliant Facebook posts as I can before they wipe my twelve year account from the annals of internet history. (i.e. cancel me)
What am I “in for” you ask?
I honestly have no idea.
Well, that’s not exactly true.
I have some idea:
My arrest took place just as I was about to block the person who told me that:
1) they hoped I hadn’t been vaccinated (-_-)
2) “compassion doesn’t live here for “you people””
3) Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. veteran and only person killed at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, was a cult follower who “deservedly got her neck blown off while trying to attack our democracy”; and that she did not deserve their thoughts or prayers because people who “play stupid games win stupid prizes”.
This is Leftism.
Not just the person who was so personally and openly wishing disgusting things for me.
But Facebook who immediately took me out of commission for 3 days and/or for as long as they like for simply expressing the opinion that what happened at the US Capitol Building on January 6th was not a riot, nor an insurrection, but a peaceful protest which the corrupt political class and media poured verbal accelerant on and then torched in order to create the very hostility and division and justification for cancelling all dissenting opinions which it has.
This is what was once our public square. This is where we used to be allowed to engage in meaningful discussion of the critical issues which affect our society, our country and most importantly, ourselves and our families.
No more.
There is no more open dialogue.
There is no room for dissent.
There is one narrative.
It will change as the power class deems appropriate.
But it will never be up for debate.
And it will always fuel their power at the expense of the people they lord over.
It will lead to the obliteration of our society.
It will not spare the wilfully ignorant who bought into the absurdity. The ones who carry the water via the narrative for the tyrants. The ones who push the BLM, CRT, Defund the Police, anti-conservative anything narratives. The ones who “live where love does” except for when they wish death on other people by pandemic virus for expressing a dissenting opinion or having their neck blown off for trespassing. The ones who get to continue prowling the internet for dissenters while the ever dangerous Christian, mother, housewife and part-time accountant serves her term in the clink.
The ones who can’t see the irony in their own words that people who “play stupid games win stupid prizes”.
“Jay, tell them what they’ve won!!”
Anne On The Issues 
Very well stated Anne. I have a similar issue with being “blocked” from letters to the editor of our local weekly newspaper. They published everything I wrote for the past 25 years until the family that ran the paper sold it to the national company that owns the Albany Times Union. From then on they rejected everything I wrote during the 2020 election season. What we are up against is un-American and evil.

Thank you David.
The vice grip which the power class has on the narrative is bone chilling and ever tightening.
We tried to warn people while there was still time to react.
It seems at this point that the dye has been cast.
I’ll continue to speak as and where I can as I know you will.
Thanks as always for your insights.
