It seems that as the regressive left is noticing how much influence they can have on big corporations censoring and shunning people they don't like in the internet, to the point of these corporations denying them internet services, banking services and so on, their activism on that front is only accelerating. Big name after big name, and website after website, whose politics and mission is for free speech and equal rights, are being targeted and shut down, one after another.
If this continues as it is, it's only going to accelerate, and once all the big names and big websites are gone, they will not stop there. They will start targeting smaller and smaller people on the internet. They want total and absolute control, and they will not stop until they get it (and, as a side effect, and ironically, established the total monopoly of a handful of megacorporations on the internet, who will rule with an iron fist.)
This blog is extremely small. Each post of mine gets an average of about 15 views in total. (This number does not get much higher over the years. A few individual posts get more views, but only a really small fraction of them ever get over 50 views.) In other words, this blog isn't read nor noticed by almost anybody. Your random youtuber will get more views than the vast majority of my blog posts.
Perhaps that, in a way, is a blessing in disguise. The social justice ideologues don't care about minuscule blogs. They only care about the big names, the big competitors, the people who get hundreds of thousands, even millions, of viewers.
At least for now. If they get what they want, and that seems to be more and more the case, they will not stop there. They will start going after the smaller people.
At some point in the next few years you might notice that you either can't see any of my blog posts criticizing the regressive left (which is most probably what will happen given the direction where Google is going), or that the entire blog has been shut down.
Unless something happens, like a government stepping in, these might be the last few years we have of free speech on the internet. Only one political narrative will be allowed by the handful of megacorporations that run the internet. This blog might go down, or its articles shadow-banned.
