That happened to me, too, about 2 weeks ago. I said that (someone, a govt. crook) should be hung. I was in X jail for 12 hrs because I had "posted a message containing violence". They erased all my messages and notifications as well and haven't restored them to me. I agree with you Edwin!

Take the advice, stay off X.

Not much there to celebrate IMO.

So, does Substack count as social media? I would say so.

Has anyone banned one (or more) of your posts?

Karl says "So Called" social media is directly harmful.

Other than a few moments and troubles posting some screenshots of Twitter, nothing I've been putting up has been banned in any way. Period.

I have been a follower of Karl Denninger since the financial collapse in 2008. He is an incredibly prolific writer and voice of reason. Although somewhat acerbic and longwinded , IMHO, he is seldom far from the mark.

Lindsay Graham is a Neocons' Neocon and Karl rightfully called him out. And I wholeheartedly agree that so called social media has become a serious problem to our civil societal discourse. I think nearly all speech is free speech, and should be allowed, for the sake of all, and not just speech that complies with the desired narrative of the overlords.

Thanks again for your thought provoking post, Edwin!!

My pleasure. Social Media is not, unless it is totally free. Yes, that includes the DemocRATS, Commies, MARXISTs, socialists, LGBTQIA, NA$Is, Billionaires, and you and me.

They will get tired of being called out and go home or back to something they can control. That something is NOT social media. It used to be called Fakebook, and before that My Face. Ever watch "Person of Interest." That's it, in a nutshell, I want that dog.

Yes!! Person of Interest is outstanding. I never finished the series. Thanks for the reminder!! And I never did Fakebook from the start. I'm a relatively private person , and I saw that , from the beginning, Faceplant was like an invasive weed. Perhaps the only time to use RoundUp!!

You have got to see the way it plays out. I can't say anymore. It was one of those series that my girlfriend watched, but I caught it on Roku.

OUTSTANDING

I have always admired the direct, clear and concise message of what a person's position is. Very good communication skills. No doubt about what you think.

Well, since the stroke, my comm skills have sucked, not that I am inhibited in any way, they just suck. Perhaps they always sucked, they just suck more now although I have recovered for over a year.

It doesn't matter what you say or whether or not you are right or wrong; it only matters whether the gatekeepers believe you are supporting the prevailing narrative and agenda, or you're not.

One point is spot on, though; social media is a cancer and should be dealt with the same way we deal with any disease that is eating away at the body (politic).
