The First Great Deplatforming of 2021

And you though 2021 would be any better.... I woke this morning to the news that Ron Paul has been banned from Facebook. While I hate Facebook’s guts and everyone involved in creating that cesspool of conformity and control, and I think them having one fewer person captive in their walled garden is a good thing, there are some extremely disturbing trends coalescing. The ban was done on the grounds of “Violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service”, implying that Ron Paul did something wrong, which is a massive, steaming pile of bull.

COVID Pandemic Since the beginning of this pandemic, I’ve been of the opinion that people are simultaneously over-blowing and underestimating the problems this pandemic is causing. The over-blowing part is that people are overestimating how bad the disease actually is. It is no black plague or Spanish Flu, but it is also not the common cold or flu.
