Take notes. You can’t fight back with a sock in your mouth. Mouth socks are not normal. That there are norms of existence – most of them are illusions – can be a dangerous thing. Not acting is uncivil. Paul pokes the resistance. She doesn’t even know there is one. People want us crushed. Dead. People want our voices cut out of our throats. He said dead, he’s out. He said illusions. He’s out. He said resistance. He’s being hateful. They enforce the status quo and moderators are complicit. Where is the children’s sandbox. The NYT will not allow me a voice. They hate my guts, (he said guts). Ban me. I will write about that.

Comment moderation is run by AI. I put what I write in my book about NYT Comment Moderation. “We are not the the problem. Your language is the problem. “I am not a Normal.” Comments is the only voice I am allowed and they have banned me. This behavior is designed to make me sound like you. I am not you. Color between the lines. Maraschino cherries. Really. We cannot fight back without a voice.

This is a forum for voices as long as they all sound the same. And you think that is fighting back. It’s privileged drool. I love this putting a sock in my mouth with.  And that is raw, powerful censorship. Norms include censorship. Fighting back with words is all we are permitted and those words must conform. Americans don’t know how insidious censorship is unless you comment about maraschino cherries. It’s a slap in the face.
