Thought I'd expand my social media horizons beyond X/Twitter, try out Bluesky. But how's this for wild? Sometime I think yesterday or late the day before all my responses became shadow censored. 100%. When other users check, my reply posts are not visible anywhere but in my own profile. Oh well. :-P

In socialism, "the people" — a marvelous propaganda phrase, so egalitarian and pseudo-liberating — are not you but higher party insiders. Every time. The actual people are useful suckers for language of equity, enabling soul-sucking levels of government control over our lives and opportunities.

Some cultists just love to assume bigotry whether there's adequate evidence for it or not.

People for whom integrity means little find it hard to imagine that others hold it dear.

We're so mindlessly tribal now all that's needed is for a few thought leaders in one's camp to pronounce, "THIS BAD," distribute a couple grossly oversimplified talking points, and voila. Immediate mass raging hysteria for or against whatever.

Immediately flagged as spam, of course. Integrity means nothing to too many. Sad.

Name a major civilization that hasn't engaged in horrors by today's moral standards. You can't because there are zero. Enlightenment values, secular democracy, unprecedented protections, and the USA's brilliant structural codifications of them ARE superior. A tremendous gift to humanity.

Our nation became used to lax enforcement of immigration, but that doesn't mean stricter enforcement is unnecessary. It's possible ICE agents are at fault for some or all of the enforcement deaths. But it's also possible people dealing with ICE are dangerously overreacting due to ICE vilification.

So far I find Blusky more respectable than I was anticipating. My political/ideological views span the left-right spectrum; I wondered if my account would be immediately suspended for those further right. So far so good, however.

I think the trans movement has gone terribly too far. I think the "free Palestine" people are mindless cultists who truly know nothing of that region's history. I think wokeness/critical postmodernist social justice is profoundly evil.
