Byzantine Courtier vs. American Voter

 The primary difference between a viper-pit Byzantine courtier and the American voter is that the voter is too stupid to recognize their own perfidy. The Byzantine pit-viper acknowledged his own viciousness, and was even proud of it. You could get someone exiled from court by making them look soft.

 By contrast, you can get an American cancelled by making them look not-soft. They get incredibly butthurt if you call them on a the effects their actual policies would have. They apologize constantly for unavoidable accidents and never apologize for voluntary harm, especially if it's tremendous. 

 Worst, if you go around trying to convince 'dissidents' that this is somehow bad and they should reject this culture, you get banned from Twitter. I'm fairly sure almost all bannings are right-on-right. The left doesn't hang around in those circle, you're getting reported by a mutual or mutual-once-removed having a leftist spasm. Despite their political expedience, the left really does support free speech more.

 E.g. I have one flagged post out of almost 2000. It was soon after I said, "Blogger has never done shit to me." Coincidence? Certainly, I can't rule it out. Let's just say it's not the only coincidence, hardly only involving me, and also say I'm a coincidence theorist. However, there's a reason any justice system has sanctions against anonymous accusations....

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
