Facebook the Enemy and Partisan Warfare

​We the People on the Right; We, the great Conservative Mob; We, the brave in the Home of the Brave; we… are now ‘woke.’ The Wolves and carnivorous Sheep of the Left have executed a coup and we are not going to stand for it. After 50 years of Leftist revolution we are at last replacing our gloves with brass knuckles.

But today is akin to the 8th of December 1941. We are still in shock and remain uncertain as to how we are going to fight back. We are aware that the Enemy has us in an institutional headlock across the board. Unified action is impossible and there are no solid punches to land.

But circumstances never remain the same and the Right has fantastic reserves of power. Leaders will emerge. Strategies will be developed. And we the grunts of the Right are ready to follow, bloody, and be bloodied. Good times ahead.

In the meantime like Russian partisans in the fall of 1941 we must do whatever we can.

I wish to propose a target. A bit of low hanging fruit. A supply train to be ambushed. It will require unsung sacrifice.

Can we agree that Facebook is one of the great legions of the Left’s army? It is too powerful to kill but that does not mean that we should not try to wound it.

I propose that collectively we cease to use it for any means other than fighting Progressivism or for bread and butter activities.

That means not posting pictures for Grandma or messaging friends.

Instead, for social purposes, we bite the bullet and join the migration to other friendly platforms that are still in the early stages of development. This will be a significant sacrifice for those of you that are deep into Facebook but if walking away is akin to putting down your crack pipe, well, you may have a problem.

I have never used Facebook for social purposes but my wife has extensively for years so through her I understand the nature of the sacrifice. But if we cannot make this sacrifice now, in the light of 2020, what will we do when the day comes that we have to make a sacrifice indeed?

Mark: I am so glad you came to this conclusion, late but you arrived. There are millions of Americans who closed their Facebook accounts when Facebook censored COVID 19 truths during the summer, and many more millions when before the election they censored the Biden Jr. scandals. But you got here. May I recommend mewe?.

Mr Ehmann,

Not late at all. I am speaking for the first time on this topic to those that may not have considered it or need a push. I am but joining the established chorus that is singing to the choir.

    Mark Atkins has six wee bairns who are all seventh-generation Henry County, Tennessee, and all from the same doe. It is the people of Henry County that he most wants to reach but writes to Southerners generally. He is without credentials but rather dares to speak by the same authority as the little boy who cried 'The king has no clothes!' His core belief and starting point is that like everything, we humans have a nature, it is not so hard to understand, and to pretend that it is other than it is, is to jump off a cliff. Which is what we Americans have in fact done.

    He is the author of Women in Combat; Feminism Goes to War which has made a splash equivalent to that of a lone seagull's feather landing upon the Pacific Ocean.  ​
