Writing about OoL’s prime directive here

It’s broadened a bit since we began in 2011 and now includes all the wrongdoing of the past few years but essentially it comes down to us being prevented from speaking out on perceived wrongs, esp. when those wrongs very much impact our daily lives.

This one today starts with the risibly considered bastion of free speech, GB News:

For readers not from GB or without a TV, which we often call a tele, GB News was set up as an alt-site within the MSM range of view of the normie out there. Naturally, the far-left Wokerati plus their gods the globopsycho ruling class labelled the site far right … anything to the right of Trotsky is far right to them. Actually, we’re one mass of centrist people just wishing to live our lives in some sort of decency, not worrying about where the next meal is coming from.

Some loony feminazi called Ada who hates men was invited on … the rest stemmed from that:

Of course, the GB News issue is but one from around the west, illustrated in these:

And so on.  Why Twitter matters:

Assuming the mantle from FB sometime back, Twitter is very much the international social media site now across generations and sexes, even races, certainly politics and even between politics and other genres.

Both Julia and I have been previously banned … it is the platform where people do go to interact … yes so do FB, Instagram, Gab etc. but none cross all boundaries like Twitter … thus anyone with either sn interest in politics or gardening or DIY goes there, among other places.

Hence Musk taking over and booting out the egregious communist Dorsey as CEO, only to sneakily bring in a dyed-in-the-wool WEFer Yaccarino who’s far more sneaky … she’s into ghosting and shadow banning, as is evident from the non communist, non Wokerati posters there … and we’re talking ordinary folk now, not celebs like Mark Steyn.

And what of us? Both Julia and I have sites of some followings but nothing like what is needed to get the word across demographic boundaries … Gab has become that way … it’s a lot more hardline, Gab … and there’s a place for that too.  There’s a place for all of us.

At least there was until Sunak’s masters’ online censorship bill which just passed all stages at Westminster, which will impact us even at OoL.

Pushback?  Well yes, of course there is … but who’s going to know of it?  Interestingly, the former USSR had the only real solution … the samizdat.
