I never imagined that I would ever face so much censorship and social ostracism for an almost naive dedication to the pusuit of truth. It never occurred to me that I might find myself losing most of my friends and allies, and getting no support from those who professed liberal principles. Economic attack via deplatforming has been real hardship and angst, making me dependent on personal charity. Will I ever get validation, recognition, and credit for my efforts? It ceases to be relevant; no matter how painful and frustrating, the truth is the truth, and you cannot regret picking integrity over popularity. The legacy of being steadfast in refusing to bend to the “acceptable lie” is bigger than oneself, even if you cannot exactly pinpoint where it falls. My self-reproach is limited to more superficial failures of character and conduct, which is about as good as any flawed human can hope for. Has been a surreal journey through very strange times.
Hang in there Martin. Alone yet not alone in this journey of ostracism alienation and loss of family and friends. however, I have found a new tribe - I hope you have/will too. You were my first donation into this- I didnt even realize you were overseas at the time - your information was so well developed. Im sorry you’ve had to go through such a struggle. THANK YOU for everything you have contributed.
