I just posted this valuable statement by Noah Berlatsky on Facebook, and Facebook immediately took down the posting

@Savvyhomestead Same for me. I'm already alienated from family members and friends on social media after their votes in 2016. They have shown me the face under the mask and I will not unsee it.

@PapyrusBrigade As Noah Berlatsky wisely says, "Different people are in different circumstances; you can’t make blanket rules."

Yes, Facebook took the posting down as soon as I posted it. And see this report from another reader of this thread who had the same experience when that reader posted this material on Facebook:

"Just so we’re clear — the rule is that these people are allowed to despise us; to insult large groups of people on the regular; to demand that transgender people be pushed out of public society for their own comfort; to talk gleefully about how they can’t want to watch ICE agents pull grandmothers from their beds and deport them;"

"to — again, because this deserves repeating — shout
'YOUR BODY, OUR CHOICE!' at women and girls'; to call Puerto Rico a pile of garbage; to denigrate women who don’t have children; to repeatedly claim that 'liberalism is a mental disorder'; to talk about how they voted for Trump to punish us; to regularly claim that Black people are lying about the existence of racism and police brutality, to force their religion on us, and so forth!" -

"And yet, we’re supposed to want to be their friends, want to hang around them, invite them to parties? We’re mean if we don’t want to date them and bring them around our friends so that they can insult and denigrate them, because who doesn’t love that?"

@wdlindsy Good morning, William.
Talking of women/bodies, etc., have you seen this?

It’s the same arrogance that infected Nazi Germany, rooted in so called racial supremacy that led to scenes like this before it got a lot worse. Behind the uniforms civilians look on, smiles on their faces. These were probably their neighbours, or shopkeepers they knew.
The infection of fascism is a curse upon the world.

@wdlindsy Oh look! It was immediately removed
-
@wdlindsy The problem is and has been they bring up politics within the first 5 minutes of conversation they have nothing else to talk about. This was taboo only 10 years ago but now thanks to them everything is on the table. And then I start challenging them and they get triggered. There's just no reason to do it you already know what the bourgeoise sheep are going to say and do I"m just not that in to conspiracy theories.
-
@wdlindsy They make up for their lack of understanding of history and intelligent commentary with overwhelming voting numbers in swing states and shouting down equality with white billionaire money. It's always either a demagogue, a conspiracy theory, or some kind of nostalgia about how they are being oppressed. Boring.
-
@wdlindsy @Savvyhomestead I will NEVER be associated with a MAGAt again!
-
@otownKim @Savvyhomestead We definitely have a right to choose our friends and to choose what family members we want to connect to. I'm surprised at those who seem to think otherwise.
-
@Paxil Well-stated and insightful. I agree.

@PeasLuvnJustice Thanks for letting me know. Yes, several others have told me the same thing has happened when they tried posting it. Something in the Facebook is obviously configured now to prevent that article from being shared.
-
@serendip1959 Yes — and this is history we forget to our great peril right now.
