But I will fight to the death for your right to say it.
I was brought up with those words
I’m not sure when they became out of vogue, out of style, wrong think, or what but apparently they are no longer true.
Today Twitter has permanently suspended the account of the man who is at this moment still the President of the United States.
If that doesn’t scare the living shit out of you, there is no hope left for this country.
It scares the hell out of me. Love you for reminding us of this. πππ

To my mind social media is a cancer on society. Not dog blogs of course. I mean, the other kinds of social media.

I agree. I keep thinking when I read comments on twitter or facebook, “would you say that to his or her face?” It’s astonishing to me

As a middle school employee, I can tell you with absolute certainty that social media is the #1 source of all drama. The amount of time and resources our administrators spend navigating the matter is staggering. We don’t allow our student to use phones during school, so they have no qualms about lying to the teacher so they can ‘go to the bathroom’ and check their phones. The parents, and the way their tear down our teachers and administrators on line is numbing.
I am in the process of banning Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg. Liberating.

I just want to say to the students who send nasty emails k- “would you say that to my face?” We’e created a generation of keyboard warriors who have no empathy. It scares the crap out of me

Exactly. It really is upsetting and the parents do nothing unless their child is the target. Honestly, they are not getting educated.

This is the cancel culture. They all want to live in their safe space where they are right and those that are wrong arenβt allowed.
I am concerned about the future. In the short term they have plenty of people to cancel but soon they will be feasting on their own and that is when things will get ugly.

I just saw a post by a supposedly well read person applauding the banning of the President. I so wanted to say, “how will you feel when they come for you?” This generation has grown up reading “dystopian” fiction and think they have a clue. Here’s a hint – Katniss isn’t real.

resist, refuse to comply, rebel, remember what normal was – I’m an old lady too – let them arrest me, I’ll go full blown “I’m coming Elizabeth!” while clutching my chest and falling to the ground. Let them put THAT on the evening news. “Old lady arrested for refusing to wear a mask!”
