the Great Deplatforming begins

If you're not on the left, and you've got an online presence, you might not have that presence for much longer.  Thanks to massive fraud, the left has swept the 2020 elections and will control two of three branches of the federal government for at least the next two years.*  With Big Tech being very much on the side of the left and now emboldened by the left's victories, the Great Deplatforming now begins.  Donald Trump had tweeted and spoken out for peace in the midst of the Capitol riot, and his words were suppressed.**  Trump's Twitter account has now been revoked, which means he'll have little choice but to move to microblogging sites like Gab and Parler.  But Google has now suspended the Parler app from its Google Play store, so if you're hoping to sign up to Parler, you'll need to find the app by other means.  Apple is also threatening (or planning) to yank Parler from its App Store.  Upshot:  even if you want to quit the left-dominated social media, the left won't allow you to join freer social media that allows rightie voices to be heard.  The right still hasn't woken up to the fact that it needs to create its own separate infrastructure from the ground up.  Until it overcomes its laziness and inertia, the right will always remain muzzled because the left won the culture war long, long ago.

In the midst of all the hoopla, a certain video clip from the 1990s movie "Demolition Man" has made an appearance.  In this clip, comedian Denis Leary, in the role of underground revolutionary Edgar Friendly, talks about liberty.  Here's the clip:

The premise of "Demolition Man" is that a cop from the 1990s (played by Sylvester Stallone) is unjustly "frozen" for a crime he didn't commit, then is "thawed" in the near future in southern California—a place that is now a shining symbol of the triumph of PC leftism:  there's no more swearing or outward immorality or offensiveness of any kind; sex occurs through virtual-reality headsets; people on the street are blandly civil to each other—passive, content, and unimaginative.  Everything is a paradise of engineered, state-run peace and harmony... and for rebels like Edgar Friendly, this is hell.  A lot of people view "Demolition Man" as prophetic these days; I need to watch the movie again to get back that old-time feeling.

How long until Blogger—run by Google—becomes a target of the deplatforming?  When do I start receiving warnings about "hate speech"?  When am I finally flagged for deletion?  I have faith that things will improve at some point because the world moves in cycles... but seeing how things are now, the situation's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

*There's no guarantee that the midterm elections will swing things back to the right.  Until the issue of electoral fraud is addressed and redressed, it's probable that the left will fraudulently swamp the midterms as well.

**Ann Althouse writes that she can find no incitement to violence in Trump's actual words, also noting that accusations of incitement never show any Trump quotes, thus allowing for outright lying.  As I mentioned in a different post, this is also how it goes when the left accuses Trump of racism:  there are never any direct quotes along the lines of "whites are superior" or "America belongs to the whites."  What counts as "evidence" for the left is always something that has to be interpreted as evidence.

ADDENDUM:  the Critical Drinker's review of "Demolition Man" contains plenty of social commentary that expands on what I wrote above.  See for yourself:
