There is nothing inherently wrong with making a list, or even checking it twice, as Santa Claus does annually to separate the naughty from the nice.
I routinely cobble up to-do lists, shopping lists and wish lists. If the intent is not Machiavellian, there is no problem with lists.
However, when it’s bitter leftists making up lists of political enemies, for the purpose of punishing them, that is a different matter.
Some of the boobs on the left actually have taken to the airwaves to boast of such, or have posted on social media about their plans, or simply have used their jobs in mainstream media to promote hateful lists – without any restraint as it turns out.
These saps want to create a list so as to blacklist anyone who ever worked in the Trump administration or in the ongoing effort to determine the honesty of this presidential election.
Presumably, the dopes eventually will want to list for retribution the names of anyone who voted for Trump, which would be one long, long list, standing at 72 million plus currently, and growing.
The time is upon us for the conservative half of the country to start making lists, too. Begin with a list of web sites to stop supporting, specifically those who throw money at leftist causes or impose their fingers on the scales to alter public discourse.
Drop Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Substitute Mewe.com, Parler.com and Rumble.com. I already have signed up for Parler and Rumble and might be looking into Mewe soon.
The one-world government goons only have power over you if you cede it to them. Social media is their catchall method to control minds and, by extension, elections and public policy.
Is it worth it to cyber-brag by posting your family photos, or to tweet that you’re sitting on the couch doing nothing as usual to all your followers, when the downside is enriching leftist elite ownership that wouldn’t wipe their shoes on your prone bodies unless those bodies first were dipped in bleach?
I never have posted on Facebook, although I did briefly open an account this year to access the marketplace feature in pursuit of used Mustangs.
I threw in the towel when Zuck’s crew never allowed me to access the marketplace. Facebook didn’t provide answers to my inquiries, but users of Facebook told me I needed to establish “friends” and put up some posts and pictures so they knew I was a legitimate person.
This has nothing to do with Facebook trying to be conscientious. Instead, they want that information so they can merchandise me by selling my information to online advertising, or homing in on those I would correspond with so as to merchandise them, too.
Not being willing to play their game, I punted and canceled my account.
Similarly I’ve never posted on Twitter, which too often is the morons’ megaphone. I’ve been on Twitter to read tweets from people I respect, often their investing thoughts. But I see even on their threads that people interacting with them seem to have an inverse relationship between their knowledge and how much they have to say.
In other words, the idiots post a lot more than the thoughtful types.
This doesn’t even factor in the inequity of censorship by those who run the sites, which is skewed heavily toward silencing conservatives, but letting any far-left group have the freedom to post falsehoods, or hateful thoughts, without fear of being labeled as such.
One of my New Year’s Resolutions – yes, another list – will be to make a conscious effort to support conservative businesses in coming years. Intellectual honesty isn’t easy, but it is worth the effort.
I was struck by a recent Peter Grandich investment podcast on Kitco.com in which he spoke of shutting down his business of providing money management advice for professional athletes because he found it conflicted with his Catholic faith and the support of pro sports of such anarchist organizations as Black Lives Matter.
It’s time this nation discovered those on the right can take stands, too. It starts with each individual making the effort on the road toward achieving critical mass.
