The Daily Blog Open Mic – 16th April 2025
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Would love to see more people use this space to organize and share grassroots action ideas. This kind of open forum could be powerful if more tapped into it.
Now that is a flashcard for sure. Bur would it be an AId to learning that we need or one that advances the death’knell of actual human thought? We need to be careful who we trust, as the parent said to the vulnerable youngster.
Such as ways of getting ideas into people’s minds and advancing propaganda in Nazi Germany. The youth of Nazi Germany came of age in the 1920s, 1930s, and early 1940s,,, reading propaganda publications…The affected children were instructed to report any activities or conversations that could be considered treacherous.

This is a bit different, Instead of just looking at the others, we look at ourselves with an eye for detail?
