The Daily Blog Open Mic – 20th December 2024
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.
A pyrrhic victory for this woman? Please note that this is a rare occurrence and should not be used like fuel on a fire.

Apart from this is awful, this behaviour tells us something about the tenuous hold our societal norms have on us. That’s one thing.
It also indicates that it is possible to create small groups in society, think a chain system* that can operate in certain ways that suit their lives, and may be a template for how we can go on living at a basic level and in congress with all being supported living within but apart in the larger society that has lost its soul. The Amish tried to do this and Gloriavale have tried to capitalise on the method, literally.
