I really have to give a bleak outlook for what the decade of the 2020s will look like based on all storm we've seen around this.
What really sticks out to me about the whole George Floyd escapade is just how virulently hostile people have been to facts, evidence, statistics, logic, etc that in any way might diminish or contradict their narrative. Its no longer enough to disregard opposing viewpoints, but to crucify those who speak out and ban their views, even if all they present is level headed rationality in the fact of collective hysteria. The trend towards this has been gradual, we've seen it escalate in the era of Trump with Russiaburgers and impeachment and every black lives matter cause celebre and Covid-19, but we really plunged off the cliff with George Floyd. I don't think that's something we're going to easily go back from. Social media and media titans and large businesses and local governments that all started firing people en masse for controversial statements or issuing proactive political statements or banning speech at such a faster pace than before, they're not going to turn around and push the overton window back where it was.

The fact is that today its no longer acceptable in society to do anything less than venerate and mourn for a man who quite possibly died of natural causes compounded with drug overdose after a lifetime of violent, recidivist crime. I expect they'll make a statue of him. The CEO of Crossfit was just forced to resign today for saying he's "not mourning for George Floyd", that seems to be the new standard.

At least Owens has a backbone. They can't really threaten her with anything they haven't already brought against her, I imagine its not her first wave of death threats.

I’ve had time to reflect on my video about #GeorgeFloyd and you guys were right—I was very wrong.
He went to prison 9 times, not 7. I missed two earlier convictions for theft and drugs.
But he started a new chapter with meth & fentanyl—so let’s throw our hero 2 more funerals!

I want our children to be able to look back and honor the brave men who terrorized black America their entire lives, commited themselves to drug and armed robberies, and in the end, found Fentanyl, a substance 100 times more potent than morphine.

This takes so much delusion its unbelievable. Its like calling a white husband with a black wife racist


We live in an outrage culture; there are those that attempt to capitalize on it. Ironically, these artists still manage to lose handfuls of sponsorships and ad revenue because they consistently take it too far. The funny thing is, even Ann Coulter has jumped from the Trump ship because she's smart enough to see it's a losing side.

Candace Owens does not have this foresight. If she did, her GoFundMe might not have been suspended.

Your analysis is completely wrong Coulter doesnt support Trump because Trump has compromised on some of his harsh stances. Candace Owens was banned because the left is afraid that she will get more popular.

She is an outrage artist. Period. She will not become more popular because the only reaction she garners is eyerolls.

You and her have a lot in common in that regard.

Well, there are a lot of bad faith actors that pretend to do the bold but have sinister motives. You also have to be wise enough to understand when your speech could be weaponized against you. Like, we all complained when someone brought up the groping allegation when GHWB died. There's a time and a place for everything...trying to fight society's hysteria right now is a fool's errand.

Take it up with GoFundMe's policies.

To wit:

"Prohibited Conduct

[snip]

Without limiting the foregoing, you agree:

A. not to use the Services to raise funds or establish or contribute to any Campaign with the implicit or explicit purpose of or involving:

[snip]

[section 8]. User Content that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be in support of hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases;"

Don't want to get your account suspended? Don't engage in prohibited conduct. Seems pretty fair right?
