during the George Floyd protests, once a day I would link to some new clip of cops brutalizing unarmed/vulnerable people. there were so many to choose from and I figured 1 new one each day would have a higher impact than flooding the feed.
after a few weeks, FB administratively "check pointed" my account. my account was a goofy fake name and none of my shit was real. they wanted me to submit my real name and a picture of my driver license and address.
I responded that they could fuck themselves in the mouth with a dog turd, and that was the end of that.
my first/only :stormfront: ban was for cooler reasons, but even articulating a few broad strokes would open me up to retaliation of some kind, I'm sure. I am more careful these days, so just imagine something cool that would make you smile and that's what it was.
