The BBC is in righteous indignation, because /pol is producing memes under the hashtag #PunchaNazi that subvert their tactic of violence. They are using images from domestic violence campaigns: get a very pretty actress, make her up with bruises, and photograph her looking sad.

Probably true. Rhetorically clever.

But the other three images are from corporations that I don’t like: Monsanto, Haliburton and Goldman Sachs.

And the message they have is get with teh narrative. You will be despised unless you belong to the corporate nation of the damned. No not be part of this. These movements, these organisations, this narrative will fail, as surely as Titus destroyed the temple.

Mark 13:1-13

¹As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” ²Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”

³When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, ⁴“Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?” ⁵Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. ⁶Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. ⁷When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. ⁸For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.

⁹“As for yourselves, beware; for they will hand you over to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them. ¹⁰And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. ¹¹When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say; but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ¹²Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; ¹³and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”

There is a crackdown on speech and it is expected. Jesus taught this would happen. This is what it will look like.

Google added new features to restrict YouTube ads the following month. Executives claimed the number of impacted videos was minute, yet stressed that neither humans nor artificial intelligence systems could ensure YouTube is entirely free of controversial videos. A recent example of the challenge: YouTube recently reinstated thousands of videos documenting violence in Syria after civic groups criticized the company for pulling them earlier, arguing the footage could be used as documentation in war crime prosecutions.

Earlier this month, YouTube said more than 75 percent of videos removed for violating its policies were flagged by its new software before human intervention. With its latest policy, YouTube is targeting trickier borderline content, such as videos that espouse Holocaust denial theories and clips from white supremacist David Duke.

“YouTube doesn’t allow hate speech or content that promotes or incites violence,” the Thursday letter to YouTube creators reads, according to a copy viewed by Bloomberg News. “In some cases, flagged videos that do not clearly breach the Community Guidelines but whose content is potentially controversial or offensive may remain up, but with some features disabled.”

In the wake of a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month, several tech companies, including Google, Facebook and Airbnb Inc., have taken steps to cut associated people and groups off their platforms.

Regardless, speak truth. Truth is uncomfortable. We have a tendency to wax sarcastic (and Twitter provides so many examples of what not to do). But there are tactics that work.

“I’ve had to make a conscious effort to cease rational discourse with leftists once they engage in personal attacks or intentional distortions, switching immediately to ruthless mocking.

Since then I’ve noticed something strange: leftists are actually more polite to me when I’m overtly contemptuous of them than when I’m ineffectively trying to reason with them.

Has anyone else noticed that?”

Yes. Some of it seems to come from the “victim competition” aspect of leftism. The way that you establish that you’re the biggest victim is by showing the most outrage, therefore your typical response is, to them, almost an admission of defeat. Mockery, on the other hand, especially calm, condescending mockery that uses some of their own rhetoric… many of them don’t know how to deal with that. They’ll either calm down, or go into an absolute ad hominem-spewing, sh!t-flinging meltdown. Which is a win too, of course.

The gospel has now been preached to all nations. The people of the narrative wish to deny that this has happened, deny the gospel, and want us all to be spiritual, ritually completing their sacraments of evil, and following them to convergence with their master, the devil.

Do not be like them.
