During those final days of the collapsing Marxist experiment in the Soviet Union, Soviet novelist Chingiz Aitmatov retold the following story, which has been paraphrased here.
On one occasion, so it was narrated, Stalin called for a live chicken and proceeded to use it to make an unforgettable point before some of his henchmen. Forcefully clutching the chicken in one hand, with the other he began to systematically pluck out its feathers. As the chicken struggled in vain to escape, he continued with the painful denuding until the bird was completely stripped. “Now you watch,” Stalin said as he placed the chicken on the floor and walked away with some bread crumbs in his hand. Incredibly, the fear-crazed chicken hobbled toward him and clung to the legs of his trousers. Stalin threw a handful of grain to the bird, and it began to follow him around the room, he turned to his dumbfounded colleagues and said quietly, “This is the way to rule the people. Did you see how that chicken followed me for food, even though I had caused it such torture? People are like that chicken. If you inflict inordinate pain on them they will follow you for food the rest of their lives.”
So they did what they had to do to stay in business and keep people working. All in the face of an ad monopoly WE allowed Google to create. Gee, what monsters and absolute traitors. Love how all these absolutists with no skin in the game can sit back and screech about a situation they never had to deal with themselves. Talk about eating our own.

Damn that’s dark. Damn that’s heavy. Damn that’s true.
So they censored themselves to please Google. Now that's f'ed up. That's the digital equivalent of kneeling.
They only censored their readers.
Sean Davis was on Tucker and he did state that the comment section will be coming back. So who knows.
If you read between the lines it sounds like he's saying The Federalist has resources to fight Google in court. Let's hope so.
That means more comment for TDW!
Dissenter is great :D
Big Mike sent you a friend request.
The real goal is to eliminate comment sections which is where the public pokes holes into various narratives
What is OP's relationship with "ADogWithAPaintbrush"?

Not surprised. The owner of The Federalist is married to Megan McCain.
