1 Just beneath the sleek and slick virtue-signaling facade-propping trick of smug cosmopolitan tolerance; just behind the flimsy tinsel-thin front of self-professed inclusiveness and all-embracing respect most make-believe liberals are desperately keen to project lurks the ever-present threat of a dormant authoritarian streak which suddenly goose steps its way to the fore the instant these Potemkin libs feel the need to police the sorts of things plain speakers might say.
"They make out like they are our audience." — Good point ... anyone who kowtows to political correctness, and would have YOU do likewise, couldn't care less about anything you have to say.
Orwell, famously, had much to say about the corruption of language, which is what PC is in essence.
"So love me or hate me, I'm playing my own game not theirs." — As should we all.
"And they march their tyranny under the banner of progressive." — Some call it irony. Others gaslighting. And if someone said it was satanic inversion, it'd be hard to disagree.
Maybe the game is to divide us into groups and watch us squabble. That gives the system power but also information. Ultimately, things will swing the other way as a response to the extreme 'PC' movement. In that case, by reacting we are playing the game.
"Maybe the game is to divide us into groups and watch us squabble." — Agreed.
"That gives the system power but also information." — I would replace "but" with "and".
"Ultimately, things will swing the other way as a response to the extreme 'PC' movement." — Ya gotta think so ... unless we're hit by an asteroid.
"In that case, by reacting we are playing the game." — Possibly. But the following is indisputable: when you surrender your vocabulary by adopting another's for no good reason, you're playing on their turf and by their rules. Which of course, is good for them but not for you.
They make out like they are our audience.
And we must couch what we say in their terms.
In real life I think that those who have decided that they don't like me will not change their minds by my toadying to them.
So love me or hate me, I'm playing my own game not theirs.

It's a shame that we have to fight just to express a possible opinion.
I say "possible" as we might change our opinion.
Now it's as if we cannot, that our opinion today will forever be used against us.
Hence no progress is possible.
And they march their tyranny under the banner of progressive.

This was great to read, and it made me write a poem too. Thank you ✨🙏🏾
Chain reaction ... cool!
I'm not seeing your poem.
But I get what you mean.
It's good to free up some of one's creativity.
I did a poem on Stegiel 's Substack.
There's sort of an idea that a poem has to be a literary masterpiece but let's question that idea.
Of course Redpilled 's poems are works of art, and being so relevant is what makes them so.
When all the internet is down and we are sitting around the campfire we will look to the poet.
And poetry is portable and memorable.
Will post soon!
The resultant self censorship is indeed the cleverest outcome.
