So Why Now, All Of A Sudden Has My Life’s Work Been ‘Unpublished.’ I’m Sure This Is A Mistake, But Please Help Me Alert FB So We Can Get This Cleared Up, Thank You! - Mark Sidney

    I feel bad for this guy. He made the mistake of believing Facebook when it said it was providing a platform for political discussion.

    That was a half-truth. Facebook does provides a platform. But it allows only political discussion within a limited window. Remember it owns the platform, not you. And the window of acceptability is shrinking daily.

      Faceberg, of course, is run by howling lunatics, who ban people for any deviation from the orthodoxy. The media is slowly shutting down public comment in a rather deliberate effort to shut down dissent.

      We are social animals that look to one another for guidance and acceptance. Unleashing click farms to promote the Cloud People narrative, while demoting the critics, gets the herd moving in the right direction. It also keeps the people holding the megaphones in high spirits. By having only cheering crowds in their line of sight, they truly feel they are making a difference and therefore redouble their efforts for the cause. That’s the weird thing about propaganda. It’s often more effective on the sender than the receiver.

      All of this is fine if your ideal society is one where the bulk of the people are treated like cattle.

      For Facebook and it seems a lot of Silicon Valley, we are the cattle.
