These sites are not about free speech. They are business platforms which rely on donations and data mining efforts to function . Major donors in turn commission sock puppets to shape opinion and censor comments that stray to far away from their political desires . They appear and disappear like mushrooms in my experience. I&#039;ve been banned from dozens of them in the last few years . I imagine its because I fail to donate to any of them .]]></description>

Whew. I despise social media, and the Internet. I despise Smart/Dumb Phones. I know the white race is cancer and the USA/UK/Klanda/EU/Israel/NZ/Australia are the shit holes of white manifest destiny. I despise the carceral state, the military state, men with guns, men with nukes, etc. 
&#160;
But I am a social worker for homeless people. I am a social worker for just released prisoners. I am a social worker for adults living with developmental disabilities. I am a social worker for foster teens up to 21 years of age.
&#160;
I am a teacher in k12, special programs, and formerly, in colleges, and in prisons and on military compounds.
&#160;
You don&#039;t think that every single day I felt colonized by the ugly reality of white man/woman&#039;s projects of control, oppression, dictatorial crap.
&#160;
I was a union organizer for part-time faculty.
&#160;
I was a daily reporter for many newspapers.
I have a book out by a publisher who uses Amazon dot death.
&#160;
Some of us are revolutionary, and we have to use the shit-hole tools of the white man, the techies, the mass surveillance oppressive systems.
&#160;
And, alas, why do you think many web sites and blogs -- www.counterpunch.org -- have turned off the pissing contest-troll evoking-checkmating comments sections?
&#160;
So, are there good things coming out of colleges, newspapers, social services non-profits, pk12, state programs for youth?
&#160;
Sure, but the entire system is designed to oppress, and for right now, I am talking USA. I&#039;ve lived and worked in Mexico and Central America and Vietnam and UK and parts of EU. 
&#160;
You can blather on and on about dictators in those other countries, but you do not know your history of colonialism, of the empires propping up despotic pigs, and the fact that many of those despotic pigs were trained and educated in the cancer wards of MBA, Law, Economics of the UK-EU-USA variety. 
&#160;
Most peasant people and people in the countries where I lived are good, caring, an d smart people. I beg to differ on all the white great saviors in planning (oh yeah, a master&#039;s in urban and regional planning where I learned about green porn/greenwashing -- not from them, but my own fight against the developer and real estate mentality).
&#160;
So, enjoy the social media discourse, the on-lone commentary, but some of us tire of the ameliorating and the hair splitting and all those keyboard/bored warriors. My blog and my journalism and my books and my teaching and my work with environmentalists and with people faced with the Trump Shit Hole and the Pelosi-Demo crap holes and the GOP maniacs, well, I work, I ground truth, and then I blather on these insipid sites.  
&#160;
So, yeah, ain&#039;t no love it or leave it drivel for me. Yep, bad hombres are all over the place. Yep, the white race of Empire, back to Rome, onward, despicable and mass murderers on a very sophisticated and gruesome scale. 
&#160;
IO can wear a dozen hats, maybe in a day, but the bottom line is this military-finance-chemical-mining-prison-law-retail-AI-insurance-banking-pharma-med-media-propaganda industrial complex needs to burn down, baby.]]></description>
