Elfwick whackamole.

The saga of Godfrey continues. So far, Jodie Elfwick has been banned, Godfrey is back as ElfwickGodfrey, and he is sitting on gab feeling somewhat sorry.

The commentators among the Dread Ilk note that Gab is not his forte. He is much better playing offence and being a troll, deeply offended, shining light on the neuroses of the woke. Which he is very good at.

The SJW social media companies are doubling down. Facebook recently removed dozens of Catholic pages and groups without explanation, then after an uproar, restored them without explanation, later claiming that their spam detection went haywire, which is nonsense. It was obviously a trial balloon to see how much reaction there would be. Zuckerberg promised to crack down on dissenting speech after the election, and that’s what they’re doing. Twitter is doing the same, and they’re not really trying to make it look “fair” anymore.

If you were a billionaire SJW owner of one of these web sites, and you realized that the people you want to destroy are increasingly using your service to fight you, and whatever you do to try to control them with PC codes just makes the problem worse, what are you gonna do? You basically have two choices. 1) Shut the whole thing down, and take the embarrassment and financial loss that would mean (the site may not be making money, but you are). 2) Shut down the dissenters for real — give up the pretense of fairness and openness and let your SJW employees delete at will — even though that will mean losing some users.

The owners of Twitter and Facebook and Linkedin and Patreon and Tumblr have decided. You can show almost anything except that which offends the progressive narrative. For those who do, they will ban, and ban, and ban. It has become a game of whackamole, with weapons such as burner phones and gmail accounts confronting machine learning and monitors trained in the wokest form of neurosis.

And the woke will lose.
