You may
have noticed a strange message in place of the usual pithy headline atop our
most recent post Empathy For Dummies. It seems this post has been
flagged by the host of this fine upstanding young blog for dangerous content. Apparently,
it has become unfashionable, nay, unacceptable to threaten, however
sarcastically, fascists, racists, anti-Semites, toxic morons and their fellow travelers.
It is
fine for people like Donald Trump – leader of the fascists, racists, anti-Semites, toxic
morons and their fellow travelers – to threaten judges, federal agents,
district attorneys and anyone who thinks Trump pals around with fascists, racists, anti-Semites, toxic morons and the like. It’s okay for Trump to threaten our national security and our very democracy, but a line is crossed when a simple country blogger with a following
in the dozens makes strong statements of warning and perhaps a joking hint at
violence against those who actually perpetrate violence against America.
We here at Paying Attention™ will continue to say whatever the fuck we want. We also promise to never commit actual violence against anyone, with the possible exception of throwing small rocks at the vicious deer who unrelentingly threaten the very survival of the many flowering plants that grace the landscape of our corporate headquarters in lovely southeastern Pennsylvania.
This has been your Paying Attention™ Hmmmm For The Day.
