Booted Or Trolled?

Earlier this week I was booted from Facebook for my #HappyHumpDay post. I thought is was rather humorous, butobviously someone else didn't think so and mypost was labeled as "Hate Speech". Here's what I posted and you can judge for yourself:

The point is this; The Right To Free Speech Does Not Exist On The Internet.  I wrote about this sometime ago in this post: http://jonrcorbett.blogspot.com/2016/02/free-speech-reminder.html?m=0

However... I've been led to believe that this incident goes just a bit deeper than my could be considered tasteless meme.  It has become evident that fbook is actively targeting people that do not comply/bow to the more liberal leanings in American politics.   So anything they can use as an excuse to suspend or deactivate accounts makes it that much easier for them to do so.  Now don't get me wrong... I do not think that fbook is actively going after social media peons like myself, but they are actively categorizing users with 'confidence scores' and if a problem arises, that score is used to determine the severity of 'punishment'.  Now... when you couple that with other factors such as individual users 'trolling' other users for other reasons; then it's easy to see how such a meme might get me suspended.  Get your tinfoil hats on folks...

Last week I hosted a live radio call-in show on public radio ( http://www.kdlg.org/post/2018-gubernatorial-candidate-forum-0 ) with several candidates seeking to be elected as Governor of Alaska.  We had a politically balanced slate of appearances arranged and all candidates were to recieve the same questions.  At the last minute, the presumed Democratic Party nominee dropped out and then the incumbent 'Independant'  Governor did the same.  This came after complaints from local, regional and state level liberals about me hosting the 'forum'.  

Now... I have gone for several years posting the same ole' types of memes and comments as the one shown above without any issue.  Suddenly over the last weekend I started getting notices about reported comments and posts made by my personal account and the Infidelis Americans page.  A few of these were marks as being 'sexual' in nature and then eventually 'hate speech'.  Let be be very clear: I never post anything remotely sexual and the above referenced meme really isn't hateful, it's darkly humorous.  To me this just goes to show that there's a double standard in American social media and mainstream media that is solely meant to deepen the alteady expansive crevass in American politics.  

If you were offended by that picture... I can only say this to you:  Pull up your big boy boxers/big girl panties and actually own up to the hypocrisy that is driving societal hatred.  We're all in this sinking ship together and if your not trying to bail it out... please jump out and swim alone. 

Too Much For Radio?

So... lining up the muzak for next week's ManicMondayShow on KDLG 670AM DLG-AK  I was looking for a theme and an old band that I once was a fan of way back when came up... Lords Of The New Church.  So I scrolled through their music back to their 1982 debut album that I had a vinyl copy of and this song fits perfectly into the show, but I fear it may be a tad too much for public radio even though it contains no cursing.  Check It Out:

#MOAB

Since it’s now obvious that the Trump Administration is taking a much more active and violent approach to the various conflicts that the US is involved in all across the globe.   Using the #MOAB should preclude abandoning the Neo-Imperialism Wars that have destroyed America over the passed 50 years.  SO…. Get your rocks off and drop no more than  6 more of those horrible things. 

Here’s the catch…  the targets have to be strategic in nature so as to fatally wound the Wahhabis and their especially vile version of Islam while also allowing ALL American troops and such to abandon them to fend for themselves.  Sort of like a ‘hard reboot’.   Might I suggest that the result of this action being the last one deployed to replicate the photo below?

Then Let's Focus On #AmericaFirst Like YOU Said It Would Be?
