In July of this year, I wrote my first academic essay (Rise of the Troglodytes) in roughly 18 years. I cited a university professor discussing the negative effects of Social Media on our social behaviours in broader society.
I am afraid as time passes, this social climate is getting much worse. We are living in an era now being labelled as “cancel culture”. Fact checking and censorship is now the “new norm”. We are living in a rat race world that blindly tried to force feed, sanction, and police what people can post in online social forums.
I can’t help but feel personally targeted. This non-sensical invasion into my right to publish my thoughts and words, became the subject of investigation right around the same time I decided to put pen to paper in this SubStack.
I have to admit my profound disgust at Social Media moguls. Deciding that a quote from the Holy Bible is now considered so offensive, it is being flagged and categorized with the likes of horrific crime scenes, senseless animal cruelty, general violence, etc... - Unacceptable.
The immortal and everlasting word of God… The only voice that leads the soul to joy, to peace, to Absolute Truth, and salvation is now censored on FaceBook. The Dood most certainly does not abide, and will not stand for this act of aggression.
My last tether to the world of Facebook was my ability to share The Gospel, and Bishop Barron’s Sunday sermon’s with friends and family. If this reality has come to an end; then I officially no longer have a purpose for remaining in the fray.
So, on that note my dear friends, I am beginning the long process of completely purging my all my Facebook Data. My previous boycott from several years ago is slated to resume on January 1st. I will only remain on Facebook to cross-post essays and articles, which I write regarding the freedom of speech and its role in democracy.
Allowing billionaires to high jack our fundamental right to think and speak freely, is the most pathetic act of public cowardice since an unsuspecting German population let a completely deranged “führer” rise to power circa 1918-1933.
