I got this interesting response from a reader:
I like reading whatever you write. It is good to see your website up and working again. I don’t comment much as I have received threats in the past.
Interesting…
Another point.
Not too long ago, my website traffic (which has already fallen quite a bit, for various reasons – some intentional and some not), fell some 30%, almost overnight.
This seemed to follow on the debate about brutalist versus humanitarian libertarianism.
That meme may have marked the opening of a campaign against certain kinds of political speech.
Militant gay rights and militant feminism are now very much government policy, indeed, foreign policy, and such campaigns, masquerading as grass-roots activism, are to be expected.
Meanwhile, perhaps related to this or perhaps not, some libertarians have been purged from FakeBook.…and complaints have been lodged against a few others.
My own modest page at FakeBook, set up by someone else, seems to have been stripped…
(Which is all to the good. FB was always a trap).
In any case, I thank everyone who reads this blog.
And please ignore the threats. Comments are very valuable.
Also, to the reader who wrote,
Keep up the good work. Truth always finds a way! Y You are obviously a person of the light. Take good care. Thanks very much.
Lila,
As you perhaps know ? I have always enjoyed your writing. Jim Bovard has said it best “First Class hell-raising.” Your posts of late have been the best ever. I visit your site every day. If you have something to say I want to know about it. Not many are as courageous as you are.
Hi Gene,
Much appreciated.
It’s very difficult sometimes.
If you use generalizations, some of your arguments taken out of context can always sound like this or that form of chauvinism.
But I will try to show that The Central Controllers are not really coterminous with any one group of people.
Central Control is a system and sometimes the controllers are just as brainwashed as the people they intend to brainwash.
