Then there's me, also banned, with both a negative opinion of Sam Brinton AND a positive opinion of YOU.

Twitter only wants extreme L/R divisions, especially on 'hot' issues like Gender.

They have suspended MANY liberal, non-hateful women with 'gender critical' views arguing mild sensible positions in the theatre of child protections. Because informed/ insider criticisms might persuade, or provoke changes, and thus destroy the easy target.

Autocrats are better served by escalating L/R divisions and muting cross-issue people. When a liberal questions a liberal policy, an internal conversation may begin. Positions may be hardened, improved and refined.

Better for autocracy when critics of Sam Brinton are dismissed as RW. They want their 'kernels of truth' continue to fester so they can continue to attack them.

You are on point! The psychological giveaway here is hard to unsee.

Please check out my new, free blog, Jim and everyone, by clicking thru my avatar. I think I’m onto much of the same, but with some different angles and insights. My most recent article is titled “Manafort's Collusion, Post-Soviet Machinations & Merger of Mafia”. Attempting to take a very zoomed out look…thank you and keep fighting the good fight revealing truth with loving kindness and with faith in one another - this is the antidote to fascism - and we need to spread it!
