On Censorship

If you're reading this, G_d knows how you found me.  I don't show up on any searches.  I'm a politically incorrect, conservative, Trump Republican.  I discontinued this blog for about 2 years, starting in 2018.  While it was discontinued, I was getting about 100 hits a week.  Once I restarted, hits went down to zero and stayed there.
 
The world in general, and the US in particular, has a free speech problem.  The left has decided that it alone is the arbiter of truth.  Any opinions that socialists don't agree with are not only mistaken, they are factually wrong and evil.  Rather than try to argue their points, the left has decided to simply suppress any facts and opinions they don't like.
 
Suppression of free speech, and freedom of the press, is pervasive.  By starting  small, with community standards on social media and slanting news coverage in the media,  the left can now block almost anything, almost anywhere.  True believers can block medical discussion of a pandemic lockdown that caused a large recession.   They can black out a scandal about a major party presidential candidate's son for over 2 weeks before a general election.
 
The motive for suppressing  free speech is mainly political.  The left's arguments are so poor, they need protection from counter arguments.  The left takes for itself a monopoly on "truth" that proclaims dissenters not just possibly mistaken, but willfully evil.  Armed with pseudo religious certainty, the left feels morally justified in rooting out heresy.
 
Even the Wall Street Journal has a "monitoring team" for comments, with no written rules.  I lost about a dozen comments in one evening without warning, no reason ever given.  The censorship was clearly political.  One comment that vanished in 30 seconds was, "As we say in Chicago, what's a little vote fraud among friends?"  That's the entire comment.  The censorship was based on the official position that no vote fraud occurred in 2020.
 
Since I've been openly complaining, the WSJ little red guards have gotten slightly better.
 
If anything deserves resistance, efforts to suppress free speech do.  Please fight this any way you can
