At first they came for the antisemites, and I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t an antisemite.
Then they came for the racists, and I still did not speak, because I was not a racist.
Then they came for the homophobes, and still, I said nothing.
Then they pumped the population full of cancer causing, heart stopping mRNA and started murdering the children… and by then it was too late to speak, because I had already been banned from twitter.
This is why you fight for free speech, warts and all...
They don’t care about “hurty words” they want YOU to care about them…so they can control what is said.
Twitter has re-instated Kellie Jay Keen, women's rights advocate who got banned for saying "Men cannot become Women" several years ago. Twitter has some kind of stranglehold on the marketplace of trending news, and reporters scroll for article ideas. The collapsing of the human capacity to read anything more than a couple of sentences in length is a tragic development. I theorize, for example, that if ex-wives of men who ideate being female had a voice starting 30 years ago, instead of being silenced through editorial decision making and the fandom of women who "keep the family together" and kowtow to a demanding narcissist publicized in the O Winfrey show, we would not have the lop-sided "gender unicorn" curriculum in our schools.

This seems to be an appropriately sarcastic take on the content of this blog post. But maybe I misunderstand.
