—AND NOW THEY’RE TERRIFIED

Once upon a time—by which I mean just a couple of years ago—you could get banned off the entire internet for saying something that, in retrospect, turned out to be 100% correct.

COVID origins? Banned. Election concerns? Banned. Saying men shouldn’t box women? Nuclear-level banned.

The Most Humble Blog wasn’t immune to the digital gulag, either. My entire Medium account—which I created about a year ago—was flagged, reported, and permanently nuked for violating the delicate sensibilities of the same people who spend their weekends dressed like discount Madonna impersonators.

I tried to acquiesce. A decision I’m still ashamed of.

I tried not rocking the boat, at least a little.

I thought, maybe, if I wasn’t too loud, if I just toned it down 5%, these lipstick-bearded hall monitors would let me exist.

But it was too late.

The mob had already decided. It didn’t matter if I changed the phrasing, softened the wording, or used gentler language—because it was never about the words.

It was about eliminating the wrong thinkers.

And in case there was any lingering illusion that these platforms were “neutral,” the dismissive response from Medium’s staff confirmed everything I needed to know:

They weren’t just tolerating censorship; they were leading it.

They weren’t punishing bad behavior; they were enforcing ideology.

They weren’t just banning “harmful speech”; they were shutting up anyone who didn't fall in line.

It didn’t even matter that they were the ones who sought me out.

It didn’t matter that they came into my inbox spewing the most profane, unhinged, sexually explicit insults they could string together.

It didn’t matter that they violated every rule on the site.

They had the backing of the moderators.

Because this was never about rules. It was about who gets to speak.

THE GREAT SILENCING—AND THE RISE OF THE RESISTANCE

For years, censorship was camouflaged as virtue.

It wasn’t “banning opposing views”; it was stopping hate. It wasn’t “erasing dissenting voices”; it was protecting marginalized people. It wasn’t “crushing free speech”; it was curating a safe space.

And if you dared question the censors?

You were labeled a menace to society faster than a blue-haired Twitter addict could say, “Report and block.”

The problem? The lies didn’t hold up.

The same experts who silenced COVID skeptics were later forced to admit that lab-leak theories were “plausible.”

The same tech giants who buried election concerns suddenly stopped banning people for asking questions.

The same people who claimed "speech is violence" suddenly had nothing to say when the violence was against people who disagreed with them.

And then, something happened that completely shattered their monopoly on the conversation:

Trump got back into the picture.

And love him or hate him, he did something no other politician had the balls to do:

He put these censor-happy pussies on notice.

Unless there’s a proveable direct threat against a person, people should be able to say whatever the fuck they want. Period.

Not “if it aligns with corporate-approved narratives.” Not “if it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.” Not “if it’s deemed acceptable by a bunch of unwashed Twitch moderators.”

Whatever. The fuck. They want.

And suddenly?

The entire censorship machine started backpedaling.

NOW THEY’RE SCARED—AND THEY SHOULD BE

Let’s be real. These people never believed in free speech.

They believed in speech control.

They thrived under the old system—where they could run around platforms, flagging people they didn’t like, getting them deplatformed, demonetized, and erased from existence.

But now?

Now they’re absolutely terrified.

Why?

Because they know they can’t win without silencing the opposition.

Because they know they don’t have the numbers.

Because they know that without biased moderators holding their hands, their arguments fall apart faster than a Dollar Store wig in a rainstorm.

And for the first time in years, these people are realizing:

They don’t own the internet anymore.

They don’t get to dictate what’s “allowed” anymore.

They don’t get to be the arbiters of truth anymore.

The free speech Renaissance is here, and they are shitting bricks.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

The fight isn’t over.

These platforms aren’t suddenly pro-free speech out of some moral awakening.

No, no, no.

They’re only backing off because:

They got exposed.

Their narrative fell apart.

And people stopped being afraid.

But don’t think for a second they aren’t waiting for their chance to clamp down again.

The second they think they can regain control, they’ll try it again.

Which is why now, more than ever, you have to:

🔥 Speak your mind. 🔥 Refuse to self-censor. 🔥 Push the conversation forward, no matter how “taboo” it is.

Because the second we go quiet?

They win.

And fuck that.

🔥 REBLOG if you refuse to be silenced.
