As we wait for the transition of power from despot to democrat, Facebook (Zuckerberg) has taken it upon itself to aid in the obstruction of that power transfer, facilitation of an insurrection narrative and disregard for the will of the American electorate.

 In other words, the Social Media monopoly Facebook commands globally has gone full fascist in an attempt to preserve the corrupt and criminal hold on power by Republicans and Trump Administration.

Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.
As if there weren’t enough other reasons to dismantle Facebook’s monopoly, Zuckerberg is playing his cards and revealing clearly that Cambridge Analytica election interference was not just a onetime anomaly, but is now a feature of Facebook’s business model.
Megalomaniac Marc has now revealed the true colours of Fascist Facebook.

Facebook is a weapon to manipulate the masses. A tool to carry out disinformation campaigns with impunity.

And the response of the left... is to delete their Facebook account.
As if the deletion of a Facebook account will do anything. It might send a message that your virtues are principled, your morality superior. But it enables the weapon to be continued to gaslight and manipulate the electorate.

An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.
Corrupt and criminal actors really don’t give a damn about the left’s virtues, beliefs or values. Virtue signalling is a useless waste of time and effort. It only enables crimes that will destroy the very principled who are “challenged” by the thought of using Facebook.
While millions ponder if the high road is indeed the best approach, Facebook is saturating the globe with calls for insurrection, narratives of hate and gaslighting so intense it’s unbearable and will result in violent chaos. Globally, not just in the US.
By placing virtue at the pinnacle of principled action, the left continues to slit its own throat. Or at the very least hand the knife to the perpetrator.

We are at war and people close their eyes and count to three, devastated when they find danger upon opening their eyes.
Principles are great. Virtue is inspiring. But wars aren’t won by principles & virtue signalling. Battle requires more than indifference to criminal adversaries willing to exterminate those who dissent to a power grab.

War requires mental & physical commitment & to fight back.
As the left continues to smugly offer taunts of “loser” and “failure” to the far right, the right is preparing to respond to those taunts with brutal force. And Facebook is enabling that preparation and logistical planning.

What did the left think fascists would do? Leave?
The naivety and hubris is stunning. But that is the character flaw of the self righteous. So confident in their superiority, they forget to pay attention to reality.

Winning the election was a momentous victory.
Getting Republicans and the 70 million US voters who prefer fascism to concede power is going to be much much more difficult.

Fascists fight to retain power.

American fascists are fighting to retain power.
But the virtuous are going to delete their Facebook account. Like that means something? The very thought is laughable, ridiculous, and humiliating.

The right is willing to fight to the death to preserve their hold on power, and the left is considering deleting Facebook.
The absurdity and disparity of perception could not be more stark.

Wake up! The next 75 days will determine the future fate of the globe. Are you prepared to risk your life? Take up arms? Defend free and fair elections? The right is willing to defend fascism.
The average human mind is predictable & sadly so limited. Denial of reality protects people from experiencing pain, angst, fear, horror, disgust, etc.

Convinced of our own magnificence & exceptionalism, we overlook existential threat until it’s breathing down our neck.
I have literally been warning this was going to happen, daily, for about 3.5 years. It’s a predictable pattern of behaviour. Which I knew was the eventual outcome the day Trump was elected. I’m not exceptionally talented or perceptive. I just don’t fool myself with denial.
If Trump’s and the Republican’s refusal to concede the election comes as a surprise, you have been denying reality.

How many times have I been mansplained that the beliefs and ideology of the right are not fascism? Exuberant belief, but perfectly legitimate politics.
Populist rhetoric and disinformation are not valid methods to gain political support.

The globe has had 4 years to prepare for this moment. But all the left prepared to do was vote. Not defend that vote.

So confident that good wins over evil, every time.
Guess what? That’s a Hollywood ending. In reality, the left gets off its collective ass and defends freedom, democracy and fair elections, or democracy is done.

Toss out the rose coloured glasses and live in reality for awhile.

The fight for human existence has begun.
It’s do or die. Literally, not figuratively.

Yes Biden needs to address the legal issues being passed as rationale for frivolous law suits.

But the battle for a fascist dictatorship is going to be fought amongst the public, not in the courts.
Disinformation is being amplified widely by Facebook. Allowing the far right and assorted militias and Dominionist spiritual warriors to coordinate, motivate and activate. Many of them are armed.

That’s reality.
What the left does next determines our fate. It’s time to stop celebrating the easy battle victory. And start organizing to address the overall war.

Principles, virtue and sanctimony are irrelevant now. Defending democracy requires stamina, strength and unity of purpose.
I’m not advocating taking up arms. I’m advocating having a plan in place to address the right if THEY take up arms would be highly advisable. That risk increases daily.

Immediate cessation of gloating and taunts of the right is required.
A peaceful transfer of power is impossible when the left keeps provoking anger, humiliation, rage & extremism with Social Media witticisms and haughty derisive commentary.

Public pressure to accept the election outcome must commence. It is not a foregone conclusion.
Wake the F up and start treating democracy seriously. And I’m not just referring to Americans. This is global. Anyone causing divisions in the electorate right now is fanning the flames of WW3. And should be called out for it.

And for gods sake quit virtue signalling!
So read the embedded thread. Banning is calling for beheadings, Trump fired the secretary of defence. Republicans refuse to concede the election. Putin refuses to acknowledge Biden’s presidency.

We have very little time to get organized.
If you want to avoid all out physical combat & war, you better develop a plan and activate it immediately.

Support truth, facts and honest journalism.

Join others in peacefully condemning any obstructionism, wherever it’s found. US, Canada, UK, Australia, France, etc.
Alberta has a premier that’s obstructing a COVid response. If you don’t think that’s related to US Republican’s obstructionism, you’re in denial again.

Charlie Angus is continuing to gaslight Canadians with a fake scandal that’s been debunked.
Canadian Mainstream Media is gaslighting readers and viewers by giving the far right a platform to spread their disinformation.

Obstructionists are denying reality and refusing to address urgent issues across the globe.
Public pressure to remove obstructionist policy is required. A general strike, mass protests, letter writing campaigns, demands for Emergency Measures. These are all actions that are peaceful protest and clear indication of dissent to far right fascist policies.
I will no longer engage with the far right, or with the delusions perpetuated by those in denial of reality.

Everything I’ve prepared for is now upon us.

Get in the game folks. Reality sucks, but it’s the best chance you have of surviving the next 75 days.
Sitting in stunned disbelief or virtue signalling will only enable fascism to take hold.

The coup d’état is not limited to the US. It is a coordinated global attempt to wipe out democracy permanently.

Sometimes conspiracies are real. This one unfortunately is very real.
Keep faith in unity and we must trust one another. Partisanship is irrelevant.

To win this war we must act as an undivided democratic force of dissent and resistance to fascism.
Our WW2 vets fought for the right to freedom. This war is a fight for the right to exist.

To realize the extent of the treason committed on January 6, 2021, please watch this video.

https://t.co/FHmlTwkB5A

And then remember Canadian, especially Albertan, conservatives are moving in this direction and have been supportive of Trump’s cabal, since the beginning.

In fact many still are openly supportive of the far right even after January 6, 2021.

The violence in this video is disturbing. You’ll witness death chants, a scaffold with noose, a shooting and an officer suffering intense trauma from being crushed.

What is amazing to me are the videos of people relaxing in their hotels afterwards that are circulating on social media.

How mentally warped must you be to calmly sit down with drinks and bar snacks after attempting a violent coup?

And maybe that’s why Keean Bexte is rushing back to Canada. He was there. In full support of the initiative. Now he’s desperate to get to Canadian protection from American prison cells for supporting a violent coup in a foreign nation.

Bexte is a fugitive of sorts. His videos, rhetoric and behaviour choices are seriously in question. There is no doubt the FBI will want to confiscate his recordings. Extradition would make prosecution years away. Huawei’s extradition battle demonstrates that reality.

This was exactly what I was about to write a thread warning about.

A change in leadership in the US at the executive level does not alter the Republican Senators and Congress representatives. A few of whom are implicated in January 6, 2020 insurrection.


There will be a strong urge to forget the danger and the corruption.

After a long period of extended fear, terror and daily assaults on political and social norms, many will want to forget and move forward.

But we cannot take our eyes off those out to dismantle democracy.

Those breathing a sigh of relief, tomorrow this all resumes again in the US. It’s only temporarily paused in the US and correspondingly in Canada.

The urge to move on is strong. Resist it. Celebrate victories and achievements, but DO NOT walk away and forget.

Canadian conservative politicians are tightly connected to many of the Republican traitors who attacked the Capitol Jan 6.

None of them are going to give up. They’ll regroup. They’ll reorganize.

In the mean time, we are all required to stay alert. There is much to do.

The far right has let their agenda be known. They want to end democracy in US and in Canada. That goal is not off the table.

They will continue to pursue this agenda.

Yesterday 12 National Guard members were removed from service.

Dr. Fauci is a renowned expert.

Here he communicates why the vaccination of as many people as possible as quickly is possible is required.

This completely debunks the conservatives rationale that lives


I’ll explain in more detail.

We now have two deadlier and more contagious variants of Covid circulating across the globe. The vaccines developed are less than 95% effective. It’s more like 50%, maybe less.

Some believe it’s hardly worth the effort to achieve 50% efficacy.

This is untrue. Viruses mutate quickly and effectively when transmitted from person to person. Becoming infected allows the virus to mutate. Eliminate transmission or widespread infection, and the virus’s ability to mutate into deadlier forms is eliminated.

While the vaccine may not prevent infection, it will boost human immunity that transmission is more difficult. Reduced amounts of covid transmission means less opportunity for the virus to mutate.

That’s how everything works.

The same applies to toddlers and teenagers. (No they aren’t viruses, this is an analogy).

The busier toddlers and teenagers are, the less likely they are to get into trouble. Which is why a good parent keeps their toddlers and teenagers active and engaged in supervised activity.

This is one of the most important threads I’ve read in the last year. Maybe more.

@PaulDoroshenko hits the ball out of the park!

This is exactly what we need to do.

And remember, Harper stacked public service with loyalists. RCMP, judiciary, senate, government departments.


We need Denazification in Canada too!

There can be no tolerance for intolerance.

Many are opining about free speech. In Canada we have freedom of expression and it comes with some caveats. Harmful hate speech is not free.

We have been inundated with hate speech for decades.

It must stop. We must remove the fascists from power and eradicate the platforms they use to build support.

I’ve taught both my children by age 9 what fascism is and what it looks like. I can be done.

School based education is a must to nullify hatred.

But what about the adults? First we remove the ability to indoctrinate through the internet. Mainstream media needs to be purged of nazi sympathizers. And the internet needs regulation. Because some people cannot be trusted to refrain from hate speech.

You got a problem with restrictions on speech, take a look at the US where any form of speech is free. Lying, disinformation, promotion of hatred and psychological manipulation propaganda. And the result is January 6, 2021 attempted “patriot” insurrection.

ENTITLEMENT. https://t.co/PmdZEUd3us


Seems conservatives have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

How does it feel to the average Albertan to be considered second class? Apparently UCP, CPC and other conservatives across Canada are exempt from COVID public health orders.

I wonder if that means anti maskers are first class citizens? What about church pastors and parishioners? Are they first class status too?

But teachers, physicians, police, first responders, grocery workers, and every other Albertan is considered second class.

We don’t get exemptions to avoid public health orders.

What kind of government flouts law and order?


This is not explained by the confused and poorly informed “freedom” focussed Q’Anon and the fanatical Evangelical Christian’s who evidently can’t manage to worship at home.

These are fully informed political aids and politicians. Refusing to be limited by public health orders.

An annoying feature in an "influencer" career is that it seems like you'll be much better off if you're "nice" to everyone.

You can always collaborate or "swap." You don't like their work, or maybe even them as a person, but gosh can you pass up this opportunity?

This might be an illusion. You're probably better off ignoring everyone and focusing on your own work.

Then again, it might not be an illusion. It's something I've noticed with successful Hollywood people. They're so damn nice. Either they are extremely agreeable people, or they have to fake it.

However, it's a much more people-oriented business than publishing.

1. I'm the CEO of a platform for females & know I have a unique insight into the single sex space debate. I see it play out in real time.

During our 1st MVP test phase, 1000s of TW onboarded & created "KILL TERF" profiles.

Are we supposed to take these seriously or not?


2. I fought to include TW on Giggle but the reality is I fought not knowing the hostility of the situation. I was shocked & devastated by the KILL TERF & other obscene profiles, but...

Is "KILL TERFS", "RAPE TERFS" & "LOOK AT MY GIRL DICK" what we can except in the real world?

3. Is it "just" something said to women online or is it something that would be done in "analogue" female spaces?

It's a really important questions to ask, because not only do women not want to read stuff like this... we don't want to physically experience it either.


4. It's important to remember, without this abhorrent behavior we'd all be having a very different debate.

This behavior has *added* to womens fear.

You can dismiss it if it doesn't suit your agenda. But if you do, no solution to ensure the safety of *everyone* will be found.

5. When I read something like this, what stands out to me is the line "a lot of the time I'll get side eye or even outright harassment." Lucky you!

Imagine getting a rape threat.

When that statement is put into the context of the admission prior to it, it's scary for women.

I wrote 30 Twitter threads in 30 days.

The goal?

Learn how to craft interesting threads, and grow a following. It (mostly) worked.

To start, here's the most popular thread I've written.

Thoughts on what made it work, below.


1. Quality

The threads that performed best were (usually) the ones I put the most effort into.

One example is this one about Jeff Bezos's origins. I spent hours researching and drafting it.

It's worth taking the time to craft your


2. Timeliness

Capitalizing on the news can be one way to expand viewership.

When Fornite launched its #FreeFortnite campaign, I wrote this thread.

At the time, it was my 2nd best performing thread. It also introduced me to the lovely


3. Narrative Arc

Have a clear start and end in your mind.

I made this mistake with a few Amazon threads. I thought because my first one worked, I could keep the story going. But they didn't have as clear a narrative arc and were much less popular.

social media use really calls for something closer to a driver's license than terms of service... most apparent bad behavior here is more incompetence than malice, like not knowing how to change lanes or take turns at a 4-way stop..

trump's history on twitter is something closer to a crazy car chase on LA streets than bad driving (with the cops MIA, but media helicopters in pursuit), but almost all unpleasantness around here is just poor driving skills

not that I'm advocating for a licensing regime... that would be a terrible thing. Do not need a social media DMV. But the underlying principles (as tested for eg. in the written and road tests) are pretty good.

Written test would test things like "safe following distance" (reply-guying = tailgating?)

Road test would actually expose you to routine provocations. Like, "make a left turn" = "deal with this concern troll"

As in the driving test, where an awkward, unnatural, and unintuitive bit, the parallel parking test, is the toughest bit, there would be some such awkward maneuver you'd have to learn (hmmm... what's the parallel parking equivalent on twitter?)

10 ridiculously simple tips I wish I knew about building an audience when I first started:

I mostly winged it 🤫

Let me share my lessons so you don't have to:

(a thread 🧵)

1/ Switch from being a consumer to a creator

If your default is opening social media and binging on updates from others, there's a problem. The world needs to know what YOU can offer, and I believe everyone can add value. So first, switch to intentionally becoming a creator.

2/ Start very small and build "Atomic habits"

Most beginner creators people aim too far high and crash. It never works for me. Instead choose tiny habits like 2 tweets a day in the morning. Or 1 video for Youtube. Or 1 short essay each day on Substack. Optimize for consistency.

3/ Pick one social platform to create and stick with it

What comes naturally to you? Writing your thoughts, choose Twitter. Editing interesting footage and layering a voice-over? Choose Youtube. Short essays? Choose Substack. Pick one and stick with it for at last 1 month.

4/ Find your niche

Don't focus on big bold segments with hundreds of active prolific creators already fishing. Find specific audiences and move towards them.

I was a no-code maker in 2018 so that niche came naturally. Later, I expanded to the community niche. Now #buildinpublic

1. “Who Are Ireland’s Members Of The World Economic Forum Implementing The Great Reset In 2021 ? 🧵1/28

🕵️🔎 Politicians, Musicians, Clergy, Bankers, Journalists, Human Rights, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, Corporations & Agriculture


2. In previous threads I have looked at 🇮🇪 key players in the Trilateral Commission as well as 🇮🇪 people who have attended the Bilderberger meetings. I also looked at the 🇮🇪 in the Young Global Leaders which is a site run by the WEF. You will see a lot of crossover between them.

3. The purpose of this thread is to compile all the Irish members into one thread for ease of access and reading rather than having to dive through the WEF site. This is by no means definitive and I will be adding more over time when they pop out of the woodwork.

4. Ireland’s WEF members are drawn from all walks of life but can be split into 2 separate areas. The WEF calls the first category “people” and the 2nd one “agenda contributors”. In total Ireland has a minimum of 61 members. Some of the names will be familiar and others will not

5. In this thread I’m just going to concentrate on the 21 people (there are probably a lot more). There are also 40 “agenda contributors” which I will cover in a separate thread. The agenda contributors are those who write articles or do research for the WEF site.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)


Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…


So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.


But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.
