As we wait for the transition of power from despot to democrat, Facebook (Zuckerberg) has taken it upon itself to aid in the obstruction of that power transfer, facilitation of an insurrection narrative and disregard for the will of the American electorate.

In other words, the Social Media monopoly Facebook commands globally has gone full fascist in an attempt to preserve the corrupt and criminal hold on power by Republicans and Trump Administration.

Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.

As if there weren’t enough other reasons to dismantle Facebook’s monopoly, Zuckerberg is playing his cards and revealing clearly that Cambridge Analytica election interference was not just a onetime anomaly, but is now a feature of Facebook’s business model.

Megalomaniac Marc has now revealed the true colours of Fascist Facebook.

Facebook is a weapon to manipulate the masses. A tool to carry out disinformation campaigns with impunity.

And the response of the left... is to delete their Facebook account.

As if the deletion of a Facebook account will do anything. It might send a message that your virtues are principled, your morality superior. But it enables the weapon to be continued to gaslight and manipulate the electorate.

An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.

Corrupt and criminal actors really don’t give a damn about the left’s virtues, beliefs or values. Virtue signalling is a useless waste of time and effort. It only enables crimes that will destroy the very principled who are “challenged” by the thought of using Facebook.

While millions ponder if the high road is indeed the best approach, Facebook is saturating the globe with calls for insurrection, narratives of hate and gaslighting so intense it’s unbearable and will result in violent chaos. Globally, not just in the US.

By placing virtue at the pinnacle of principled action, the left continues to slit its own throat. Or at the very least hand the knife to the perpetrator.

We are at war and people close their eyes and count to three, devastated when they find danger upon opening their eyes.

Principles are great. Virtue is inspiring. But wars aren’t won by principles & virtue signalling. Battle requires more than indifference to criminal adversaries willing to exterminate those who dissent to a power grab.

War requires mental & physical commitment & to fight back.

As the left continues to smugly offer taunts of “loser” and “failure” to the far right, the right is preparing to respond to those taunts with brutal force. And Facebook is enabling that preparation and logistical planning.

What did the left think fascists would do? Leave?

The naivety and hubris is stunning. But that is the character flaw of the self righteous. So confident in their superiority, they forget to pay attention to reality.

Winning the election was a momentous victory.

Getting Republicans and the 70 million US voters who prefer fascism to concede power is going to be much much more difficult.

Fascists fight to retain power.

American fascists are fighting to retain power.

But the virtuous are going to delete their Facebook account. Like that means something? The very thought is laughable, ridiculous, and humiliating.

The right is willing to fight to the death to preserve their hold on power, and the left is considering deleting Facebook.

The absurdity and disparity of perception could not be more stark.

Wake up! The next 75 days will determine the future fate of the globe. Are you prepared to risk your life? Take up arms? Defend free and fair elections? The right is willing to defend fascism.

The average human mind is predictable & sadly so limited. Denial of reality protects people from experiencing pain, angst, fear, horror, disgust, etc.

Convinced of our own magnificence & exceptionalism, we overlook existential threat until it’s breathing down our neck.

I have literally been warning this was going to happen, daily, for about 3.5 years. It’s a predictable pattern of behaviour. Which I knew was the eventual outcome the day Trump was elected. I’m not exceptionally talented or perceptive. I just don’t fool myself with denial.

If Trump’s and the Republican’s refusal to concede the election comes as a surprise, you have been denying reality.

How many times have I been mansplained that the beliefs and ideology of the right are not fascism? Exuberant belief, but perfectly legitimate politics.

Populist rhetoric and disinformation are not valid methods to gain political support.

The globe has had 4 years to prepare for this moment. But all the left prepared to do was vote. Not defend that vote.

So confident that good wins over evil, every time.

Guess what? That’s a Hollywood ending. In reality, the left gets off its collective ass and defends freedom, democracy and fair elections, or democracy is done.

Toss out the rose coloured glasses and live in reality for awhile.

The fight for human existence has begun.

It’s do or die. Literally, not figuratively.

Yes Biden needs to address the legal issues being passed as rationale for frivolous law suits.

But the battle for a fascist dictatorship is going to be fought amongst the public, not in the courts.

Disinformation is being amplified widely by Facebook. Allowing the far right and assorted militias and Dominionist spiritual warriors to coordinate, motivate and activate. Many of them are armed.

That’s reality.

What the left does next determines our fate. It’s time to stop celebrating the easy battle victory. And start organizing to address the overall war.

Principles, virtue and sanctimony are irrelevant now. Defending democracy requires stamina, strength and unity of purpose.

I’m not advocating taking up arms. I’m advocating having a plan in place to address the right if THEY take up arms would be highly advisable. That risk increases daily.

Immediate cessation of gloating and taunts of the right is required.

A peaceful transfer of power is impossible when the left keeps provoking anger, humiliation, rage & extremism with Social Media witticisms and haughty derisive commentary.

Public pressure to accept the election outcome must commence. It is not a foregone conclusion.

Wake the F up and start treating democracy seriously. And I’m not just referring to Americans. This is global. Anyone causing divisions in the electorate right now is fanning the flames of WW3. And should be called out for it.

And for gods sake quit virtue signalling!

So read the embedded thread. Banning is calling for beheadings, Trump fired the secretary of defence. Republicans refuse to concede the election. Putin refuses to acknowledge Biden’s presidency.

We have very little time to get organized.

If you want to avoid all out physical combat & war, you better develop a plan and activate it immediately.

Support truth, facts and honest journalism.

Join others in peacefully condemning any obstructionism, wherever it’s found. US, Canada, UK, Australia, France, etc.

Alberta has a premier that’s obstructing a COVid response. If you don’t think that’s related to US Republican’s obstructionism, you’re in denial again.

Charlie Angus is continuing to gaslight Canadians with a fake scandal that’s been debunked.

Canadian Mainstream Media is gaslighting readers and viewers by giving the far right a platform to spread their disinformation.

Obstructionists are denying reality and refusing to address urgent issues across the globe.

Public pressure to remove obstructionist policy is required. A general strike, mass protests, letter writing campaigns, demands for Emergency Measures. These are all actions that are peaceful protest and clear indication of dissent to far right fascist policies.

I will no longer engage with the far right, or with the delusions perpetuated by those in denial of reality.

Everything I’ve prepared for is now upon us.

Get in the game folks. Reality sucks, but it’s the best chance you have of surviving the next 75 days.

Sitting in stunned disbelief or virtue signalling will only enable fascism to take hold.

The coup d’état is not limited to the US. It is a coordinated global attempt to wipe out democracy permanently.

Sometimes conspiracies are real. This one unfortunately is very real.

Keep faith in unity and we must trust one another. Partisanship is irrelevant.

To win this war we must act as an undivided democratic force of dissent and resistance to fascism.

Our WW2 vets fought for the right to freedom. This war is a fight for the right to exist.
