Doesn’t sound like ‘Everyone’ going insane, just libtards and leftards proving they dont believe in the right of other citizens.

Boycott them in every way possible, denounce them for their anti-american ways and hypocrisy.

Keep note of who they are so that their many crimes can be punished by the people they betray.

Many don’t appreciate the fact that liberals saying they’re “love” means by their own definition everyone else can be silenced as “hate speech”. If you’re already an evil hater, anything you say that disagrees with the liberal IS classified by them as hate speech.

Coming to an Alexa or a Siri near you.

And yes, people have gone insane.

And this reply to "who was Vault-Co" by Anonymous Conservative is VERY strange:

Vault-Co was like this blog, only funnier, more succinct, and more focused on things relating to prepping, like building vaults, hacking old technology to produce survival tech, and so on. But he was actually completely wiped from search engines, as if he never existed. And the Wayback machine as well.

There was only one major way he diverged from all the other survivalist/right-wing blogs. He ardently asserted that there is an ancient race of extremely tall (8-9 ft) redheaded hominids with unusually large skulls that were protruding in the back, which has existed through human history in secret, and ruled via conspiracies with regular humans, from behind the scenes. He called them Melonheads. He often pointed out articles from the past where their skeletons were found, and photographed, and produced news articles about the finds, only for the Skeletons to disappear, with nobody ever knowing what happened to them.

The theory also seemed to indicate they interbreed with humans, but that they maintain their perceptions of themselves as a sort of master race designed to manipulate the rest of us, and they control our governments to this day. He also, as part of this maintained the Neanderthals were a breed of hominid that had evolved past humans, having been culled by Ice-Age conditions, and that humans were some sort of construct of the Melonheads, designed to genocide the Neanderthals, who were the only real threat to Melonhead power.

At some point he felt the Melonheads had tried to use a pathogen to wipe out their competition but it backfired and killed most of the Melonheads off, forcing them to interbreed with humans to save their race. And today, they are the Cabal.

One, Vault-co was always eerily prescient on a lot of things. He was a sharp guy, who read a lot. He made assertions about Neanderthals and anthropology years before you saw journals breathlessly relate what he had been saying for years. Two, there was something about his site that the powers that be wanted to stifle. And three, as crazy as that theory sounds, it one of only two things I see that could possibly explain the closure.

The other was he took a walkaround some Costco’s in Australia, and noticed vents from some subterranean structure, and then began probing his way down into it, ultimately finding a big tunnel leading in the direction of a military base, and some guards. I did a post on it, explaining at the time he would have triggered surveillance and government attention. Apparently Costco is being used as a giant Government Prepper warehouse, with the food kept date-current by the plebes coming in and buying the old stuff at a discount. Underground, the government has already prepped the tunnels to sweep all the Costco stock away to bunkers when they shutter the stores as the mushroom clouds rise.

It is possible the Australian government wanted that post taken down, so their intel people posed as British Royal Family Satanist Pedophiles, and threatened him to take his whole site down because of his posts on the Royals’ baby buggery, when in reality they wanted the Costco posts down. But strangely he was getting banned from Google for long before that, so I am not sure it was just the Costco. Maybe he had stumbled on something else even before that, since his archives went back 17 years. I’d love to pour over his archives, looking for the nerve he hit.

Sad, he was a bright light in the world. But as with all good, the Cabal did away with that.

I don't believe it, sorry.

Well I don't believe it either. I think if Goolag saw him as a harmless kook, they would likely leave him alone. I think Goolag saw him as some sort of threat, as they are now doing with so many people today.

I never read his blog, and the guy sounds a little kooky, but being kooky ought not be a reason to be censored.

So... Was he really? Censored that is?

I’m not sure that’s been established.

He might have said other very strange things that crossed some line somewhere.

I’d like to see more one way or the other.

There are a number of blogs I follow that are still out there saying things—very political things—just not saying things that would violate some vendors’ content guides.

I do not know. One can say that one is, but how do others know if this is true?

Does Google Censor? I believe that it does. There has been a "trick" going around. Just have someone do a google search for "American Inventors" or "American Scientists" and see if the results look right. (I just did it with "American Inventors". It is totally manipulated.)

He might have said other very strange things that crossed some line somewhere.

He is looking a bit far out there, but nowadays it's quite easy to cross a social justice warrior line without even realizing you are doing it.

Have you seen the new made up pronouns? Nowadays refusing to say "zir" to some mentally ill man that wants to pretend he is a female, is considered a "hate crime" by some.

There are a number of blogs I follow that are still out there saying things—very political things—just not saying things that would violate some vendors’ content guides.

I am beginning to believe that "free speech" will eventually be killed if we continue to allow "content guides" for carrying people's traffic.

They will redefine speech with which they disagree as a "hate crime" and then censor it.

Have you kept up with what has been going on in England?

And this?

What kind of civil war will that be? One side has the guns and guts. Only if the military went rogue would there be anything to fight.

The left has guns. Look at Chicago.

There are plenty to go around. Don’t be fooled into thinking we’re unique.

Street gangs are apolitical and act in their perceived self interest. The actual Left uses them as muscle but they act strictly in their self-interest.

The author seems, to a large extent, to be talking about science fiction writers. Science fiction was great in the fifties, but it’s come to be dominated by a coterie of Leftist political activists.

And, for that matter, so has every other genre.

The new issue is the deliberate banning of science fiction authors from conventions like Jon del Arroz, John Ringo, etc. Where liberals threaten violence if the person shows up so the convention bans them, or in two of the cases in the blog and Kevin Sorbo at another event, “We say you’re emotionally dangerous as a conservative, you’re banned”.

I'm not going to WorldCon this year. Again. Just a few relaxacon-type events. And I've had words with self-exalted SMOFs about the current indulgence of hateful vilification.
