I Violated the Hate Speech Guidelines

Today I got a surprise shot from the blue from Blogger.com regarding a dusty old post from years ago entitled "ISIS -- Ambassadors for Islam," the title of which, by itself, may even by a violation of the Hate Speech Guidelines, for all I know. At any rate, the title tells what was considered offensive about the post. Back when it was written, years ago, the U.S. was engaged in war against ISIS--still is, but ISIS fails to command the attention it once did. Now the focus is upon Russia and China, once again. What is amusing is that the Hate Speech was tolerated when ISIS was the big bad guy of the media, but now that the bogeyman of the month club has selected a new bogeyman, the old post must be removed. I find Blogger.com largely irrelevant nowadays and was surprised to find a post flagged, in fact that has been the only time I have heard from Blogger in years. Here are my stats as of today:

Now you may ask, why is techlorebyigor a hotbed of Hate Speech on the Internet? The answer is, it is not, in fact most hits are on technical pages such as:

However, the irrelevancy of this blog cannot be overstated (understated?). There are few if any comments in the last five years and very little activity. Probably the greatest number of hits comes from bots. I have also noticed that over my last ten years of Google searches, I have not turned up any results that include any page on Blogger.com at all. In other words, the search algorithms are simply not choosing to promote Blogger for whatever reason. There is just not much traffic. As to the "Hate Speech" accusation, that does not bother me, because my feelings about this blog are rather ambivalent. If it is removed altogether, then that just tells me where we have come in this country. The Progressives these days are just as bad as the right-wing Christians back in the day and the McCarthyites, there is no fundamental difference in their believes other than they target different groups, have different bogeymen that they think need to be punished for misdemeanors and negligent acts. In the end, the Progressives will inspire the same sorts of reactions that the McCarthyites and the right-wing Christians did, and so the pendulum will swing once again, even if it takes generations to do so. The Liberals of today embrace censorship, force, compulsion and propaganda, the same dark arts that formerly were employed against the Liberals of the 1950s - 1980s, so it seems that they have learned all the wrong lessons and decided to emulate their oppressors. It is amusing, except for those caught up in the nonsense that is Left Wing brainwashing, propaganda and double-speak. I doubt any Liberals would actually fight for the U.S. in the event of any type of serious war or conflict with a powerful country such as China. They hate their own country so much, most of 'em would flee to overseas and just let things go, and in fact one can see a number of Americans becoming "Ex-Pats" to enjoy a higher standard of living overseas with better health care in particular and a lower cost of living. A good learning experience for the crypto-communists of the Progressive Left would be to relocate to China and live over there for a couple of years. Now, China enjoys a lot of advantages today, and seems to have high levels of patriotism as well, which is lacking in flag-burning places like California, that find grave sin in our country's history and believe that America is the originator of slavery and every other form of evil in the world. They can over to China and learn about life in a totalitarian country. I suppose it is all right most of the time, it is only when something out of the ordinary comes up, like the pandemic, that the bad things happen. I see that Blogger.com mislaid all the text I wrote above, as well as the pictures I uploaded, but this is because Blogger.com has degenerated over the years, as the developers decided in their infinite wisdom to dumb the service down. It takes too much of my precious time to struggle against Blogger and format the paragraphs in a proper manner, so here you are with a massive wall of text, courtesy of Blogger's inadequate text editing capabilities. As for the photos, let them be truncated, as they are. I do not really care about Blogger or this blog.
