Anonup is a kind of social media “reverse exile”. Many of us are banned from what was the public square, but as a consequence those left are marooned on a shrinking patch of insanity. Being willing and able to confront reality, and endure disapproval for dissent, turns out to be a valuable characteristic. We aren’t the ones being isolated; they are. It reminds me of the old newspaper headline “Fog in the English Channel; continent cut off from Britain”. The direction of framing matters.
I have lived my life in this reality. I was once part of a religious organization (JW) where I was eventually disfellowshipped. I faced my reality and stood up to their disapproval, never looking back. Bonus, I have all of you today. :)

Justice = Just Us Honored to be followed by Vincent Kennedy.
One point is, if you weren’t a JW you wouldn’t have had the the distrust of governments, false religion, and other conspiracies. You were awake along time before others.
