Title: Facebook is After Extremists
Post by: Ben on July 01, 2021, 03:50:07 PM
I'm sure you can guess what kind of "extremists" they are after. I don't have the friendface, so perhaps some here can verify that FB is apparently monitoring where people visit and post and then pops up a warning that they "may have been exposed to extremism".

I am very disappointed to report that I haven't gotten that warning yet.   I need to step up my game.

I tried to put together a fresh account.

Just post on FB that you believe marriage is between someone with a penis and someone with a vagina and that you ate at Chick-fil-a last night. Should get you put on the permanent watch list.

It is enough for MANY people that someone is simply called an "extremist." They assume kluckernazi right off the bat.
 
I prefer to call myself an activist.

I suspect you (and I) are the extremists FB helpfully warns others ("the normies") about.

I prefer to call them "mundanes" but that's just me.

The right should capitalize on this extremism charge. Extremists are cool. Chicks love a bad boy. Steer into it. "Radicalized since 1776"

Ran into Tony tonight - the World's Chillest Man - the guy who sat at the bar drinking and smoking while one of the local crackheads robbed it... Told him that I hadn't blocked him...

Apropos article by The Z Man

The custodial state is the sensibilities of women armed with the weapons and power created by men. This is what lies behind the popular lunacies of Critical Race Theory, wokeness and white fragility. Every one of these is pushed by a thousand perfumed hands as a way to show how much they care for all of their children. Stripped of the Marxist jargon, it is nothing more than a mother standing over her children telling them to play nice and share their toys with one another.

In the Assemblywomen, the 4th century BC playwright Aristophanes described a world in which the women of Athens gained control of the government. Before long the city fell into a chaos that is familiar to us today. Men were wearing their wives’ clothing, ugly women were demanding that men see them as attractive and, of course, everyone was supposed to share their good with the community. In short order the normal rhythms of Athenian life give way to the chaos of female tyranny.

I'll have to look up that ancient play and read it ... vanity of vanities there is nothing new under the sun.
