With All Due Respect...

My email to a Daily Beast writer (just sent):

I'm not anything.

Not a Trumper.

Not woke.

...just an objective person who relies upon reason, like Socrates and Aristotle...
How is the Jews being persecuted because of their race and religion and their politics not analogous to a white Christian Trump supporter being persecuted because of his race and religion and his politics? 

You see no parallels?
The lady (if you can call a MMA fighter a lady) apologized face to face and explained herself; but the cancel culture's stance is: No, you said it; we got you, you can't take it back! Really; and the people who fired her are "supposed" people who might not exist? Perhaps it was a bot that scours the web looking for keywords to flag, regardless of the context, how can she put a name and face to that?
I am of the strong opinion that, regardless of whether Zuckerberg and others were able to sway enough voters to vote against Trump or for Harris so that she actually did tally more votes, or whether it was stolen, it doesn't matter.
There is no need for Americans to vote at all any more because the Zuckerbergs of the world are going to be choosing our presidents for us. If they decide they don't want Harris to be elected in '24 (or if Biden has a miracle recovery and is fit for office, and they don't want him) well guess what? The next president will be whomever they decide to put in.
Big tech is more powerful than the sitting president, at this point. Only the most level-headed could not be swayed by being bombarded every day from the morning show people all the way up until Seth Myers at night pusing propaganda.
Things like the Daily Beast and Newmax on the other side can turn politics into a Jerry Springer show, relying upon riling the citizens up, so that they are burning police stations on one side and storming the Capitol on the other; and you media types can say; look what we started, we've got them all fighting.
I would really like to know exactly what happened in the November election, because nobody really knows. And if you think "everybody" knows that the election wasn't stolen (no need to even investigate; audit the voting machines, etc.) Come on!
So, the mask wearing thing was a "conspiracy theory" after Doctor Foucci sp? said masks are necessary; and then wasn't one after he said they don't work; but now it's misinformation again, and three times so, after he went back to saying we should now wear 3 of them?
The MMA girl, there, accused them of being out to get her and she said they were silencing people and cancelling them; and so they silenced her and cancelled her because of that? Am I the only one that sees the humor? ridiculousness? in that...
As I started to pay just $1 for a trial subscription, I stopped and remembered that I'm not interested in Jerry Springer or any of those other shows that are all emotion and drama, and I'm not sure I would enjoy the subscription.
But, if that is what you are doing at The Beast; race baiting and rousing the people up so they will pay for more; then I wish you success; it's a good idea, actually; even the Australian networks are getting good ratings covering the drama...what did A.O.C. say? No way! and then Ted Cruz did WHAT?!?
But, how can you accuse someone of promoting a "falsehood" about something, for example, like climate change; which the top scientists in the world are in disagreement over; yet a Daily Beast writer can say "shame on you" for having an opposing opinion?
And, what's her name encouraged people to follow her on parler where right wing extremists are known to gather...Does that mean if I go into my favorite coffee shop, and it turns out that terrorists meet there too to talk about a drone strike on Pelosi's house in San Francisco or something, that I am a bad person for going to the same coffee shop?
Maybe I miss the point and you are just trying to make a buck -look, you got me to type all this; and you *almost* got me to subscribe..
My friend said that, if you respond to this mail it will be with the one word "racist!" and that will be all...
God bless you, and let's get Zuckerberg off his throne...remember MySpace!
