Henry David Thoreau spent the night of July 23, 1846, in the Concord Jail.
I spent the night of December 2, 2022, in the Facebook Jail.
The last time I was incarcerated by FB, I was angered, because it was for posting an image of TFG with the word “Loser” written on it. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some trumpster must have sent in a complaint and they just followed it.
This time, though, I am happy with the sentence. The reason for it is encouraging: posting the video of the Nick Fuentes “We need a dictatorship. … We need to take control … and force people to believe what we believe” rant. I, of course, was condemning it, but apparently FB isn’t allowing it to be posted. That’s a small bit of progress.
Here are some of the lowlights of what the full-frontal Nazi about whom Trump says, “I really like this guy; he gets me,” said in the video Facebook banned:
"You gotta recognize the fact that this is a godless country. I hate it. It’s immoral. It’s wrong. It’s evil. I hate it. …
We are in the minority. There are not as many of us as there are of them. … There are too many nonwhite people in the country. … There’s not enough of us. …
This isn’t a democracy, and we don’t want it to be. …
People like abortion … and you can thank the Jewish media for that. … Abortion’s popular, sodomy’s popular, being gay is popular, feminism’s popular, sex out of wedlock is popular, contraception is popular …
That’s why we need a dictatorship. … To take control of the media and take control of the government and force the people to believe what we believe and reshape the society.”
It can, alas, still be seen on YouTube.
Facebook left up my earlier post of Fuentes’ “You’re either a Catholic of Jew” bombast. “I want Catholics to run this country; not Jews,” he proclaims. “I don’t think that’s controversial. I want this country to have Catholic media, Catholic Hollywood, Catholic government. I want this to be a Catholic-occupied government, not a Jewish-occupied government. … We are Christians; [pointing toward the camera], you are not! … When I see some guy with a fricking thing a tied around his head and a a little hat under a big hat, I’m like, ‘What? Jesus already came, dude. The Messiah’s arrived. What are you doing?”
Apparently Mr. Zuckerberg is more tolerant of a Nazi preaching for a Catholic takeover than of him saying that he hates the United States and wants to establish a dictatorship.
