I was banned from Left Land

lonelyisletI was not one of those (unfortunately) who during covid stood up and said "This is all entirely bullshit. They're making it all up. There's not one shred of truth in it." It's what I privately felt, the voice in the back of my head. But it was go along to get along (never do this with tyranny. always fight back.)
But I got banned from a group with left leanings for posting the most milquetoast of videos. It wasn't about vaccines (it could never be about vaccines. the injections are not vaccines). Not about Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. Not about lockdowns (as such).
I got banned for Omicron being less dangerous. That was it. That was enough to brand me a dangerous spreader of misinfo (instead of trusting the science which if you really trusted the science you would be constantly questioning everything. that's what "trusting science" is.)
And so now with all the evidence of lockdowns (they don't seem to work, the epidemiological model is wrong) and the harms of the shots (they kill and severely injure people) and masks (they never worked) etc I'm curious about how these same people will now look at the people they treated in their lives, offline and on
Is an apology forthcoming? Again, I wasn't screaming from the rooftops. I wasn't vindicated during covid. I trusted authorities too much. I wasn't one of those people who actually did stick their heads above the parapet and encountered real reputational danger and called all kinds of names from "Trump Supporter" (who did recommend Hydroxychloroquine, because DOCTORS WERE DOING IT TOO) to "Science Denier". It doesn't quite land as much for me. But I'm fascinated by this whole phenomenon. If you called your friend an idiot can that ever be repaired? Will people have the humility to realize they were lied to, and at that, on a mass, war crime like scale? (Because it was a war crime. In addition to coming from the DoD, the Nuremberg Code exists for a reason)
That's just people. What about corporations? Are apologies forthcoming from Facebook? Youtube? Medium (which removed covid articles)? LinkedIn? I'll grant coercion is possible from government, and I'm sympathetic to it. But will those CEOs say anything? I'm already not a big fan of content removal with no justifications. If you say something violates terms of service, you had better be damned forthcoming about that (as happened with so many videos, the conversation with Bret Weinstein, Steve Kirsch and Robert Malone; Darkhorse Podcast being demonetized; Rebel News being demonetized (presumably the latter also for other reasons and not just covid; they cover a lot of things))
Because basically if you don't apologize you should be forever shamed - for the people. For the corporations, many of you deserve to go to prison for a very long time. It's coming. Declare your sins now and we might be a little more lenient with you. But basically - fuck all of you. And don't EVER use "science" as justification for your braindead action ever again
The problem is that Left Land is incredibly pervasive. There's an entire segment of the world. Who believes New York Times tells the truth. Who believes Wikipedia is right (whose editors should also face prison time) when they take a respected cardiologist like Peter McCullough or any number of the members of FLCCC Frontline Critical Care and append "misinformation" to their name. Who believes it's good to demonetize videos or outright remove them or censor posts when they go against the party line. It's hard to escape. You're on the fringes if you don't affirm your membership of Left Land, on these and dozens of other topics
On a personal level, those of you who did this will be and should remain pariahs. The corporations however should go to prison. And you all deserve it. Redeem yourself now, and we'll talk.
