Gracious indeed! Well, isn't that special? Facebook thought-policed a theory, until they didn't. This little incident underscores and cements the truly disgusting advent of censorship and thought control by social media giants.

Just one reason I avoid Facebook whenever possible.
It's hard to believe they are listening to themselves.

"We’re continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and regularly update our policies as new facts and trends emerge."

In other words: we're updating our censorship rules.
And this is supposed to be normal and acceptable.

People, it isn't. It is twisted and, not to put too nice a word on it, evil.

It's evil, because of the evil that the very existence of such power can and inevitably will be used for.
Government regulation of Facebook would only, in time, be even worse—because then governments become the censors.

The only *reliable* solution to this problem is a decentralized social media network.

@ks_found is working on that, by the way.

Gosh! Only 679 flu deaths since Oct. 2020? What are the odds? I am shocked—shocked! The only possible explanation: all that masking & lockdowning stopped this formerly deadly disease! Yay!

Uh,
What I want to know is, when are we going to investigate those people who *should have known* that mass flu-season masking could have prevented so many deaths?!

I mean, if only we had known! So many unnecessary deaths wouldn't have happened!

Crypto folks, #Binance haters, @binance, @BinanceUS—I solved my problem in a way nobody told me about, which I had to figure out for myself. I went to my "Balance" page and found a "Trade" link. There, I was able to trade into dollars, and now my $NANO is now in $$$.
I feel stupid, but not *too* stupid because, well, nobody told me this was possible (if it was).

BTW I doubled my money.
Hey Binance corporate jerks: WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING UPSET $NANO INVESTORS THIS IS POSSIBLE?

For shame, really. I'll never use your service again.

What is the legal status of this declaration? If I go in a store without a mask, can I just say, “The Prez said it’s OK”?

Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see the social dynamics.
Self-righteous vaxxed pro-maskers: will they still wear masks, because it makes them feel so righteous?

Tired, vaxxed true believers, reaaally ready to de-mask: will they resent all the people they know aren’t vaccinated, who aren’t wearing a mask? Oh yeah.
Anti-Covid vaxxers: will welcome a chance at a reprieve, but now will face questions and deep hostility from those who paid their dues by taking a risky vaccine, who loathe skeptics.

Some will wear masks anyway, just to avoid conflict.

True or false: It’s important that we essentially leave each other alone, not try to change each other too much.
...except for evangelizing.
...except for carbon footprint reduction, wearing masks, and getting vaccinated, and a few other things like that. It’s good to try to change people that way.

Thread—
How to respond to your respected old friends and family who, with sadness and concern, encourage you to get vaccinated.

Listen. Your distinguished friends in govt, NGOs, and corps are pushing hard for reduced rights, on a *global* scale, for those who refuse the vax.
So you, who say you love freedom, will be pressured by those people into supporting a vax regime in which bureaucrats determine what must be injected into the bodies of the global populace.

You’re not talking about this—it’s crazy conspiracy talk!

Until it becomes law.
You are an enthusiastic citizen of a new clown world in which “liberals” systematically ignore and excuse the fact that the apparatus of a global totalitarian regime is being set up. This is not an exaggeration. It's 100% true. Think about it. What happened in 2020?

A BLM founder is totally flattered to have her book compared to Mao's Little Red Book. Here's the text of said book: marxists.org/reference/arch…
"People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but...
...they have their liberalism as well - they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work." --Mao, 1937
