Oh Good, We're Doing The Civility Thing Again
2020-05-21
It's Kurt
So, Donald Trump, Jr., retweeted a mean tweet about Grandpa Badfinger and the usual suspects went through their collective panty wetting again. "Civility is important," we barbarians are duly informed, because of course it is. But we have noticed, over time, that in reality it only seems to be important when we are the ones breaching it. For us, it is open season. We have a big target on our collective back for the vilest slanders and the most ridiculous lies, but apparently that’s OK. "Civility" apparently only raises it’s well-coiffed, Romney-esque head when we breach it.

...It’s almost like "civility" is just a way to shut us up and ensure that we have no means to fight back against our opponents, who will then be free to pummel us into submission.

#4  Dale,

"PRO CON" ??

What does that mean?
Does that signify that you're "pro," or for, a view that is contrary to COVID orthodoxy--as understood by FB?

Genuinely puzzled.

#1  Currently I am being monitored for posting a contrary CON virus post on Facebook. Using fact check as their weapon of choice. I now have a PRO CON virus main heading on my left top page that cannot be removed. Liberal dogma rules. Appears it will only get worse. I understand I can leave but I have not found a good alternative sight to visit.
