Well look, I ain't all up on why one loses followers on twitter. I do see that I lost about 8 people after I posted about a former NYT reporter talking about the assault on MERIT.
My response? Well, if you don't like me quoting a liberal talking about the ILLIBERAL aspects of degrading meritocracy, I say good riddance!!
And I would further add that if this is the reason you decided to "un follow" me then I would say that this is perfect proof that you lack the intelligence to really benefit from this twitter account!!
FURTHERMORE, if you did not like the citation of an NYT writer you probably REALLY won't like the words from one of my journalistic heroes---Jason Whitlock.
Jason Whitlock is arguably, THE premier sports journalist that is utterly unafraid of "cancel culture", or the twitter mob, or big tech censorship of contrarian views. And, if for no other reasons, I have a helluvalot of respect for him.
As with any such fearless journalist [Greenwald, Lee Smith, Sheyrl Attkinsson, Michael Tracey et.al], one does not need to agree with ALL of what they say.
BUT. Anyone who truly values free speech, rational thinking, contrarian thinking should like guys like Jason, So, in the tradition of the well know NYT conservative columnist Bill Safire's dictum of ..."kick em' while they're up" here's an article from Jason:
I would only add that Jason is first and foremost a religious guy. And closely following that is that he is an American. And following MUCH further behind these two attributes, he is a BLACK guy.
