Dear George Galloway, why are you "succumbing"...
...to censorship making our freedom smaller and smaller?
George Galloway, I’m responding to your ‘We Don’t do Succumbing’ tirade against Youtube deciding who you can interview. Did you expect something different?
I’m sick of people I admire bitching about X, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. You’re not working from the inside against the machine. That’s like pretending mincemeat can influence the butcher.
You continued making those corporations stronger whilst they slew your brothers and sisters in arms. Moral outrage is a con, and your great history of fighting hypocrisy shouldn’t allow it.
"Every human, in every ‘democracy’, has a decision to make. You are either with us, or with the terrorists".
Yes, I'm flipping the meaning of the words of George Bush the Terrorist. No helter skelter Irish band is going to steal them back.
Retire with my great respect, or keep fighting without the cash comfort you don’t need.
If you choose the latter, then will you and others with massive followings join forces to create a new platform before its too late? I need the ultimate truth bookmark!
Our freedom is ticking…
That’s like pretending mincemeat can influence the butcher. 👏🏼👌🏼
I am totally reminded of one of the end chapters in "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" where Tom Wolfe describes one of Keysey's appearances at a large civil rights demonstration, and he plays harmonica and acts mad, and encourages people not to play the government's game. That no matter how impressive the huge demonstrations were, they were all part of the overall system... and that the only way out of that quagmire was to just walk away from the whole system.
By that stage Keysey was deep in the drug hole, but there's something that rings true in that zany madness. We keep using these mega platforms that are simply levers of control now, and in doing so, propping them up.
Well said Micheál, as our name is renedered in Irish. (said mee haul)
